The fact that Romo never won the big one

[Hennessy_King]

Ware and his Super Bowl ring say hi.

Ware had a Hall of Fame QB on that team.

Gold jacket for Witten and Ware, doubt Romo will get one.

 

[lockster]

Yes for marino

Partially but was it Marino’s also?
Or Finkle?

Marino listened to only himself and wouldn't run the ball the way he should. Marino was his own worst enemy

It’s a team game.

However, the fact is that the QB will always be accorded more credit for wins and, conversely, more blame for losses.

IMHO, Tony Romo was a great Cowboy and I believe his positive contributions far out-weighed his negative ones.

Having said that, Romo is 38yo, two years into retirement and isn’t coming back. To continue to project and claim for him mythical, never-gonna-happen accomplishments, based on shoulda-coulda-woulda’s, if-only’s, maybe’s and what-if’s is a pointless waste of time.

The man had a fine NFL career, he unfortunately didn’t win a SB ring and has now moved on.

Seems like some people here might do well to follow Tony’s lead.

The HOF QB did what he had to do to not mess it up. Sometimes that's what winning football is about. Separates the greats from not so greats.

Also puts the performance on par with Flacco.

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.

Truth stings don't it.

A first down keeps the drive alive.

A 5 yard slant is easier to catch than a 25 yard deep sideline prayer.

A first down keeps the possession alive and takes time off the clock.

Romo went for the the hero shot with almost 5 minutes on the clock.

I have no problem with that play in the final minute of a game.

In that situation, even if Dez does not drop it and you score,
you give the ball back to Rodgers with 4 minutes on the clock.

Not smart.

 

[CATCH17]

You're playing stupid.

I thought the same thing for years.

Yup sometimes just doing your job like converting a 4th and 2 instead of a deep td throw to be a hero is the right thing to do.

Is the coaching ever smart in those situations? I have yet to see that.

You guys keep me amused.

There are several levels to the depth of the question I posed in the OP.

 

[MarcusRock]

2014 team had a shot, but a slight one. We will never know thanks to that stupid no catch call!!!!!

LOL. Knew it wouldn't be long. 28 posts this time.

I posted this a while back. Between D Brees, A Rodgers, B Favre and S Young they played a total of 52 years and won a super Bowl 4 times - that equates to a 7% chance of winning for 4 of the best QB's to ever play the game. Throw arguably one of the best passers ever into that mix who did not get a Super Bowl (Marino - 17 yrs) and the percentage chance goes down to 5.7% - 1 out of every 20 years!

Peyton Manning - considered by many as the best ever won 1 Sb in 13 years in his prime - 7.6%, and got another one with Denver that had very little to do with him, bringing up the percentage for him to 11.7%

So, what that shows to me is that no matter how good you are as a QB, you do not control getting to and winning the Super Bowl and even if you are great you may only have a 7% chance of winning 1.

Multiple Super Bowl QB winners had arguably some of the best teams/coaches in the history of the game (Brady, Aikman, Montana and Bradshaw for example)

That's my perspective

Copy! ,,,while yer' perspective is of sound reason,,,yet,,,the selective variables to yer' narrative are not,,, Bro! you've two active duty Q.B's
( still) proclaimed as being the "best to have ever played the game",,,and ,,,most certainly, this is a considerable point where I draw contention with in the "variable premise of the narratives perspective,that I reckon I'll just have to live with


* it's an admirable post by anyones definition my friend,,,but,,,I'm just saying that perhaps were the wording might have been " as of late recent recollection" compared to " Have ever played the game"?,,, ,,,you'd be ironclad& solid gold,BRO!

I would rather give the ball back to Rodgers with 4 minutes than 2 minutes - wouldn't you? He only needs 1 - 1:30

It's a team sport.

I agree. The call was correct on that play after review but you can't fault Romo for putting that ball exactly where it needed to be. I don't even blame Dez for doing what he could to try to score as it's just receiver instinct. What I argue against is the made-up conspiracy crap.

Reading your post is like watching Pride and Prejudice! It takes great concentration to get the meaning!

 

[JD_KaPow]

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

Was it Romo's fault for not being a greater QB than he was (which was pretty great)? No, of course not.

 

[roughneck266]

Super bowl? Absolutely not. He always choked long before he got there.

lol. no.
