Tony Romo Appreciation Thread

[Captain-Crash]

This guy...sheesh.

He gave up his body for The Dallas Cowboys. He played QUARTERBACK with a busted collar bone. Busted ribs and put a flak jacket on and went back out. Totally over-achieved in every way possible...a WALK ON NFL QB who played as well as any pedigreed QB in his day...among several HoF worthy QBS.

And you hate him because he liked golf in his spare time..

DDS is a seriously debilitating condition, Tad.

naw he hated him because he dated pretty women.

The Cowboys have the absolute dumbest fan base of any pro sports team in the world.

It's like watching a dinner chat on a Real Housewives episode on Bravo channel. You ever walk past that while your wife is watching?

Romo was brilliant, and his career was wasted by Jethro Clampett.

Yup like the Romo and Dak sharing similar post season records. Face value stats that's all. While its true either of them got it done in the end but if you dig deeper into the stats and games they are VASTLY different quarterbacks and not remotely comparable.

People want to just disregard the special teams draft or the ridiculous Roy Williams trade. There wasn't one solid decision in the bunch after Parcells left. Jerry certainly wasted many careers and that was a big opportunity he threw in the toilet through the height of what could've been something good.

Let me know when we get to Aikman and Staubach

THIS!!

Let me know when we get to Aikman and Staubach

Let us know when we put a complete team together with a serious head coach with free rein.

I ruined it? Get your stupid facts straight dude. The female Administrator who was hired at the end who took 3 months to investigate years of how things were being run outright said YOU Romoholics were the ones who ruined that website. Y'all came running over here and have done the same thing here.

And you are playing your part PERFECTLY.

Notice...THIS guys said "female administrator". As if "female" is some important aspect? Misogynist, I'd say.

 

[MarcusRock]

It’s beyond hilarious that some think talking about the old times with Romo is going to cheer everyone up. Yeah, let’s relive the 2007 one and done to the Giants and the bobbled snap against Seattle. Does that make anyone feel better about our offseason? lol

Throw in the Dez no-catch and that might move the needle for me, lol.

 

[buybuydandavis]

Giants...Crayton single handily cost us the game with two potential TD drops. We also dropped another pass in the redzone. We should have coasted to an easy two score win. Also giants defense was elite in the playoffs and never gave up more then 20 points and led the league in sacks and fumbles. Tied at half and leading into the 4th. Would of had a huge day if it wasnt for those three costly drops but played good overall

That was Jerry doing nothing and costing us the season. Didn't do anything to replace Glenn all year. When Glenn finally hit the field, he was no help.

Really tragic for the Cowboys that Parcells brought "She" back early and he blew out his knee. That was the domino that toppled the team that Parcells built.

Some people are joyed with positives and fond memories. Some people love negativity.

Your position is clear.

>choked in big moments
>ran off T.O
>froze out Dez(Dez admitted this)
>chose Cabo over the team
>always 1 injury away

Basically Dak without the injuries tbh

He holds numerous Cowboys team records including touchdown passes, passing yards, and most games with at least 300 passing yards. Romo has career stats of 2,829 completions, 248 touchdowns, 34,183 total passing yards and a 97.1 quarterback rating.

Honestly, I did a double take and re-read the comment. Not sure why a distinction was made.

It has been a number of years since my last speeding ticket. My eyeroll didn't get commented while being handed a 'doing 59 in a 55' slip.

It did register on me that a cop might make my insurance premium hike up. Didn't give any thought that she was a female cop. It would still cost me the same no matter whose radar clocked me going four miles per hour too fast. Whatever. Just call me SPEEEEEEEEEED Racer! lol.

 

[DCBoysfan]

No matter if you like or dislike Romo or Dak.

They both have played a part in the 28+ year championship drought the Cowboys are in.

Not sure either has done anything to warrant an 'Appreciation thread."

 

[PA Cowboy Fan]

I try to forget the Romo years but now Dak makes me remember. lol

 

[starfan1]

I try to forget the Romo years but now Dak makes me remember. lol

I remember them both similarly it reminds me of skelator's ineptness

Did you ask him/her for the radar calibration cert?


You are dang dirty criminal sheesh! 4 over. Crimes against humanity!

 

[jsb357]

By the time Romo learned the position, he was too broken
to do anything with the knowledge.

 

[SteveTheCowboy]

You sure you didn't have some fun Romo times to pick out? MAybe this will lighten your day: EDIT: TURN YOUR SOUND DOWN!

 

[Motorola]

25 to 30 years from now fans will barely remember Romo and Dak ever played for the team. Staubach and Aikman will withstand the sands of time, but not those two.

Romo's sports broadcast career, especially if he continues for another decade (the upcoming NFL season will be his eighth), plus residing in the DFW area - Romo's tenure as a Cowboys QB will be known to future fans of the team.
If Prescott's 2023 performance continues for at least two more seasons, he will have most of the significant franchise records - and along the way he gets to one or both of those title games...

Ok but still not in the same category as the big guys. Both Dak and Romo cost the team big games .

 

[1942willys]

Stop it
Romo had plenty of great teams around him
He was happy to count his money and play out the string
His comments about “if this is the worst thing that happens to me ….” showed who he really was

so from 2010 on name those great teams.
After his fourth full year as starter show me
not to mention the HC was Ginger

and by the way that comment was exactly right for a sane person. If you think that made him a loser; then look in the mirror and see a REAL LOSER.
