Giants know to beware of this year's Tony Romo
​

Only one quarterback who shows up for Armageddon Sunday at MetLife Stadium has two Super Bowl rings, and it isn’t Tony Romo.

It isn’t Tony Romo because he has won one playoff game. And has listened over the years to all the naysayers who insist that he can’t win The Big One, because he hasn’t; that Jerry Jones was a fool to give him that six-year, $108 million contract; that point out when he stands toe-to-toe and slugs it out with Peyton Manning and throws five TD passes, he inevitably will throw the killer interception with the game on the line. Such is life as America’s Quarterback when you are not Troy Aikman or Roger Staubach.

But he isn’t Josh Freeman either.

He isn’t Matt Barkley.

He isn’t Terrelle Pryor.

He isn’t Scott Tolzien.

And he’s getting Miles Austin back, to join Dez Bryant and Terrance Williams and Jason Witten. And with Prince Amukamara on one side, he’ll be targeting Trumaine McBride.

Beware Tony Romo.

Target Tony Romo.

Because here’s what you worry about with Romo: One of these days he won’t throw the killer interception with the game on the line. One of these days he will break through and overcome the chaos that forever swirls around him.

Sunday could be one of those days.

Definitely is an interesting read on Romo and it also shows what some of the Giant's players think of our QB. It seems like they respect him more then our fans and actually think he's a good QB. Who would've thought? It definitely surprised me that they respect him as much as they do, though I'm sure they understand how good he is even more so then the average fan, especially since they've actually faced him. Anyways it was just an article I came across, so I figured I'd share it with you guys.

Yes, there were some good quotes in there, especially surprising considering Justin Tuck was one of the main ones giving them.

One of the things he had to say, though, about Dallas trying to establish the run is exactly why I would come out in the hurry-up passing the ball, maybe mix a few draws in there (unless the wind is too bad).

In fact, I think I would start the game with triplets stacked to Romo's right, roll him out and try to get the ball deep. If nothing's open deep, come underneath to the back or tight end or dump the ball out of bounds.

I agree but the staff wouldn't

While they might be wary, I still believe they, like most teams, know that their chances are pretty good if you keep it close and wait for the Bad Tony moment.

Yawn

Yawn

ok?

 

[blackbull]

This talk makes me tired. Is there a problem?

 

[Frozen700]

ok?

The man can't yawn?

It seems like they respect him more then our fans and actually think he's a good QB.

The last 4 times that Romo has put up a 100+ rating in a game against the Giants, Dallas is 1-3.

On average, a team whose QB has a 100+ rating in a game wins about 80% of the time.

If he wins then it wasnt a big game after all.

It definitely is a big game.

How did that work out week 1?

It stinks that the gusty wind will make it difficult to sustain a consistent passing attack if the weather is as much of a factor as most expect.

Sunday could be one of those days.

Maybe they've just worded this poorly, but "one of these days he won't throw the killer interception with the game on the line?".

They know he doesn't do this literally every game, right?

I mean, I'm not the biggest Romo supporter. But he's far from the guy that chokes the majority of close games away.

Or do they consider this to be a big game for Romo (but in the same breath completely disregard other important regular season games in which he's performed well)? IE: only a big game when Romo chokes.
