Twitter: Jerry: We have a QB we can build with for years to come

[Big_D]

LOL @ Jerry and his predictions. He's never right. The guy is clueless.

 

[Diehardblues]

lol there it is. Jerry is telling you Dak is his guy. Jerrys telling you Love it or leave it...31 other teams to root for, dont let the door hit you when ur leaving.

Jerry flip flops though. Romo was his guy too until public wave of support moved the needle. It’s still early. This could still cave in on Dak,

No Jerry wanted Romo to play he was overruled but the whole organzation. Until his final day Romo was Jerrys guy.

That’s what I’m saying . Romo was his guy until he wasn’t.

And we don’t know exactly who influenced who in that decision. Pure speculation.

When has Jerry turned his back on a player? He has even kept a player who killed one of his own teammates in the loop. Remember Brent?

Jerry can be alot of things but he is one of the last honest owners in sports. This is actually one of his flaws. He makes more decisions with his heart and not his brain.

-The Cowboys played the Seattle Seahawks in the NFC Wild Card playoff round on January 6, 2007. With the Cowboys trailing 21–20 on fourth-and-one with 1:19 left in the game, the Cowboys attempted a 19-yard field goal. Romo, the holder for the kick, fumbled the snap. He recovered the ball and attempted to run it in, but was tackled short of the first down marker, and turned the ball over on the Seattle 2-yard line. The Cowboys went on to lose the game.

WTH cares what he did as a FG holder? Why was he even holding in that situation?

And why is it never mentioned WHO drove the ball down the field in the final minutes of the game to set up a game winning FG attempt?

-In the Cowboys' January 13, 2008, divisional playoff game against the New York Giants, Romo was unable to lead his team to a come-from-behind victory. On fourth down with less than half a minute and no timeouts left, Romo threw the ball into the end zone, but it was intercepted by Giants cornerback R. W. McQuarters, ensuring that the Cowboys were eliminated from the playoffs with a 21-17 loss to the eventual Super Bowl XLII champions.

Oh yes, the play where Crayton gave up on the route. Such terrible leadership from 'ol Tony.

You were probably better off citing the trip to Cabo before this game if you wanted to make a point about his leadership.

-In what became a de facto third playoff game for Romo shortly prior to its start, on December 28, Romo and the Cowboys failed to compete against the Philadelphia Eagles in a 44–6 loss.[31] Romo committed three turnovers in the game and went 21/39 for 183 yards and no touchdowns.[32] The loss dropped Romo's combined record in December to 5–8 and again raised questions about his performance in games of consequence.[2]

Egads he had a bad game against a good team. Who else does that?

-Romo had a 104.9 passer rating in a 34–14 win of the Philadelphia Eagles in the first round of the playoffs, earning the first play-off win in 13 years for the Cowboys, and his own first career post-season win.

Doesn't this throw the whole narrative out the window?

However, the following week in the NFC Division Round against the number two seed Minnesota Vikings, Romo had three fumbles (losing two), an interception and was sacked six times in the 34–3 loss.

Nobody, but nobody, wins that game for Dallas. The Oline was absolutely manhandled and the defense gave up.

If you want to fault Romo for that game you are being completely obtuse.

-Dallas and the Washington Commanders had a two-way tie of 8–6 records atop the NFC East, and faced each other in Week 17 for the NFC East title, which Dallas lost, 28–18. With overall 20-for-37 passing, Romo threw a total of three interceptions, including on Dallas' first two drives. With 5:50 left and down 21–10, Romo made a touchdown pass to Kevin Ogletree and two-point conversion pass to Dwayne Harris. After Dallas took over with 3:33 left down 21–18, Romo threw an interception to Commanders linebacker Rob Jackson, and Washington clinched the victory with another touchdown.[45]

OK, I'll give you this one. But again, the team isn't even these types of games without Romo and his "fantasy football stats."

Following the season, the future of Romo's career was called into question. Mac Engel of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram commented: "Tony Romo has one year remaining on his contract, but the time has come for him to move on...He will be 33 in April of '13, and still has a few good years left but at this point he needs to go to another team that needs a quarterback."[46] In a Fox Sports Southwest interview, Rick Gosselin of The Dallas Morning News also called Romo "not wired to win the last game of the season" especially "**** means extending the season."[47] Dan Graziano of ESPNDallas.com wrote that Romo's "record starts to become very hard to defend" due to "the oft-cited fact that he's got just the one playoff win in his entire career."[48]

Oh so NOW we believe the media?

Apparently Mac Engel made a stupid comment to drum up controversy so Tony Romo was a terrible leader.

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

No deep play off runs. Only meager wildcard wins.

Curious.

Examples of success as a TEAM LEADER? Not personal stats leader. But TEAM LEADERSHIP

That's a dimwitted request, but please indulge, what does "TEAM LEADERSHIP" look like?

Right but if Jerry really wanted to go with Romo you actually believe anyone would stop him?

No, I believe the enormous public wave of support for Dak influenced Jerry who would have been bashed beyond belief if he inserted Romo.

In the end Jerry was better off losing in the playoffs with Dak than taking a chance to win with Romo.

Yes, Jerry really wanted to go after Manziel and he was stopped.

 

[Doomsday]

He has a clean pocket and it looks like he is looking to his left and won't throw the ball into these windows.

Not my pic, don't expect him to throw to the red circle on the right but my gosh there are literally 2 guys open for TDs. Ball should of already been on its way to one of them.

 

[CowboyRoy]

Jerry is a football idiot, its clear. But at least he knew we should have gone for it on 4th and 1 in overtime. LOL

[Chuck 54]

Good news I guess for those who hate Garrett and Linehan. While I believe any offensive system can be successful with good execution and playcalling, Dak doesn’t seem to fit this one as well as we would like. If Jerry is more committed to Dak, at least for now, than he is to the system, you know where that’s headed.

Maybe Dak fits better in the wide open spread seeping into the NFL from college. Who knows...maybe it would help Zeke too. I’m open to change, but I still think any system and any QB will need better receivers and TEs than we are currently using.

 

[keysersoze]

blaming Romo for the Minnesota loss. Imagine if there both tackles were Chaz Green in the Atlanta game and that's how that game went.

Ok. So why aren’t those same excuses valid for Dak? I’m not understanding that

 

[Gator88]

I don't really see Dak not getting excuses when they are valid. For example, I don't really see anyone blame Dak for the Atlanta game with the exception of 1 or 2 people that blame him for everything regardless of the reason.

 

[keysersoze]

Leading the team to Championships. That’s what it looks like. Let me set you straight here.
Romo has never come close to a championship. An NFC East title, yep. But that’s worthless if you’re one and done in the postseason. Your argument would hold a little weight if Romo would’ve led the team deep into the postseason and other teammates didn’t step up. I’d respect that a little more. But if Romo was close to being the guy you all claim he was then he’d definitely be good enough to advance to the NFC championship game while as you all say “carrying the team on his back”... See, that’s what ELITE QUARTERBACKS do. They defy all oddd and circumstances to make a tough fight when the season is on the line. They don’t fold under pressure and go all Willy Nilly, losing control and focus. Romo simply was not a winner. He was above average but in my opinion lacked the mental toughness and fortitude to elevate the team to a higher level. You Simpletons can sit there and relish a bunch of meaningless statistics. But his 2-4 record in the postseason is the only stat I care about. If he was a champion the personal stats would matter (ala Emmitt Smith). But unfortunately he’s not. So while those numbers look good for him and him alone. His impact on the team in terms of winning is null and void. He’s simply not a winner. He’s a good quarterback. Just not a champion.

This is what I’m afraid of. Not sure anyone is safe and more may lose their job as a result of Jerry’s intention to make Dak the future.

It isnt just jerry, it is stephen too, they dumped Romo for Dak, and in their minds, they have to make Dak a success or they
think they will look stupid for dumping Romo.
What they dont realize or see is that they already look stupid.
They live in their own fantasy billionaire world, and they just dont see reality like we do.
their ego's are more important to satisfy than winning championships.

Same thing for JG, they feel the need to have a winner with him , otherwise they look stupid to the media and fans and football world.
with their ego's, they cant allow that, and dont see that they already look stupid to everyone.

Jerry is the same guy who fired a coach who just won 2 SB's in a row and said he could win SB's with 500 other coaches.
In his mind it wasnt jimmy who won the SB's it was him and his great leadership as GM and president and owner lol.

The Cowboys are their team, their toy, and they will do whatever they want to with it.

I dont think drafting a QB or WR high will help, their will always be problems with the Jones boys running
the team.
When Stephen said he didnt want Dak running the ball, that shocked me, and I sort of gave up on this season
at that point. It also says he thinks Dak is too valuable and the franchise QB to risk getting hurt running.
So it isnt just Jerry.

I respect that. But I’ve seen much more than a couple

Stephen is more clueless than his Daddy. Part of Dak's game is running. They're trying to change him into something he's not.

I could say the same thing about every cowboy player since 2000.
it takes more than a elite QB to win championships, nfc titles, SB's.
Rodgers is considered elite, but in all the years after winning that one year, with a very good team and coaches, he has not won another
nfc title or been back to the SB much less win it.
It takes a good overall team, usually a good defense too, and good coaching to win a afc or nfc title and get to a SB.
Also the winners usually have players step up and make great plays, and not just the QB.

In Romo's 2nd year playing he got stuck with JG as OC then later as HC/OC, then HC only, but to me that killed the cowboys
chances of a title, and Romo's career.

I think if Parcells had just stayed one more year, the cowboys and Romo would have got to and won the 2007 SB.
