The fact that Romo never won the big one

[JayFord]

They never built a team around him.....without romo those 8-8 years would have easily been 1-15

Terrible Defenses and Terrible Coach


We complain about how inept garrett is now, but he was levels worse back when romo was still playing. He cost us games each season that wouldve gotten us into the playoffs.

2011- Cardinals, Lions, Patriots, NYG

2012- Ravens, Saints

2013- Chiefs, Lions, Packers

These games were all winnable at the end but either the head coach or defense sabotaged us. One extra win each of these seasons and we are in the playoffs

 

[CouchCoach]

Yes, it was partially but not totally his fault.

 

[aikemirv]

2006. The team was good enough to go to the Super Bowl.

They were floundering with Bledsoe so I am not sure why you think that! Romo turned that team around.

So he turned the team around but just not good enough to actually win anything, just ruin draft position?

 

[lk8701]

The 2007 divisional playoffs loss to the Giants is on him.

 

[Bleu Star]

You're playing stupid.

I beg to differ.

I'm gathering information regarding how much responsibility rests on the shoulders of a quarterback and I also said my piece regarding the topic.

Don't show @Idgit this

He never played on a SB winning caliber team. There were always glaring weaknesses even with the handful of really good teams he played on. So no, not his fault.

Cabo’s fault. End of discussion. Oh, and while we’re at it, Jessica Simpson’s too!

Jessica Simpson really was a jinx tho. Everytime she came to the game, I swear we lost every one.

Mostly HCIT IMO. I appreciate your perspective.

 

[Kevinicus]

Was that Romo's fault? Just curious... & very interested in your perspectives.

It's a team game, so it's the team's fault.

That said, he was the best player on the team during his tenure.

 

[Melonfeud]

Most of it was his team as I believe tier 2 QBs many of them like currently Stafford, Rivers,and Cousins and many like them are great QBs not elite I call tier 2 guys and Romo was one of them, they all excel at high level in their positions, stats dont lie but none have everything simply fall into place..many coaches are the same way as other positional players.. QBs are suppoed to carry a team and be responsible for making everyone around them better but that unralsitc and Romo owns acll the Cowboy passing records of the DC and ranks high in ton of categorys in the nfl..he was top 10 most of his career..her was good enough but coaching, defense, and/or players around him found moments to just lose the game..He wasn't perfect but he was great not elite but great..

these guys

it happens 4 yrs Romo had the teams that should have went further, it didnt happen..lets move forward but I know this Dak isn't even on pace to be here long enough to break records here..Maybe he gets better, if that happens great..yes true 2016 he was good, also against GB should have been a win , defense blew that season as well..thats not on Dak and im no hypocrite so I had to add that

Great post(IMO),,, as I've often fancied the thought of what the carnage left behind upon the league would be, in the passing wake of the DALLAS COWBOYS were a Phillip Rivers on the bridge & hand at the helm,,,it is a fanciful thought to entertain.

 

[aikemirv]

Beasley was open for the first down on the play.

Romo never even thought about throwing to anyone but Dez.

That's on Romo like it or not.

That is such a stupid argument. Dez bobbled the ball when it hit the turf and it is on Romo - it is just stupid! What if Beasley had pulled a Crayton - we will never know! Crayton had the easy catch in the world across the middle and dropped it.

Nope
The fact that despite playing here for a decade he never won back to back playoff games or made the NFCCG or the SB is a testament to 2 facts:

1. This organization from Jerry down and this HC are a cesspool of incompetence and mediocrity

2. Romo was a very very very good/great QB but not an elite QB

Jason Witten says hi.

Pretty much agree. We were a couple of plays away from a good shot at it. Crayton keeps running we beat the Giants. Hard to blame that on Romo. Arron Rodgers and Drew Brees have only won 1 apiece so it tells you how much has to come together to make a run.

So I’m with you that it’s not on Romo

 

[aikemirv]

The 2007 divisional playoffs loss to the Giants is on Crayton.

There, fixed that for you!

What about the 43 second drive by the Giants at the end of the half - was that on Romo?

It's a team game, so it's the team's fault.

Sorry he played with 3 hall of famers on his team. He isn't a Hall of Famer. Not being bias just the truth.

Ware and his Super Bowl ring say hi.
