I actually thought about this comment when I was watching the clubcorp classic today.

Romo was on the final hole (#18) and all he needed was a par to win. He ends up shanking the ball into the water and bogeys which forces a playoff.

No big deal, technically hasn't lost and the playoff starts at hole #18. Perfect time for redemption. Ends up hitting it into the same water pond AGAIN and loses

He should hes been trying to be a pro golfer more than he was trying to be a pro qb

Stupid is as stupid does. Romo holds the most passing yards, TD's and comebacks as a Cowboy QB. Dak is lucky Romo was beat all to hell because he never had the Oline that Dak has had and if Romo had stayed healthy your lover boy Dak would probably never have seen the field or had just been a backup...like the backup he plays like.

"get vocal to snap team.." leadership style surely didn't work for Andy Dalton and Tony Romo lost the 2016 team because the young nucleus centered around Zeke and Dak.

Most sideline outburst are overrated especially now we have more than NFL Films video narrative....cellphones will be the fall on mankind:thumbup:

Who is saying anything about Tony Romo and Andy Dalton. We haven't had any leadership from coaches nor players here since the 90's. You miss the point. Nobody gets mad except the fans. Dak is an average leader just like Romo was. We haven't seen any on the field leadership to make him stand out.

Or Dan Fouts, Steve Deberg, Fran Tarkenton, Warren Moon, Ken Anderson, Jim Kelly, Dave Krieg and Sonny Jurgensen.

Lots of great QBs have never gotten to the promised land. Why do we beat the hell up out of our own QBs.

It's like Romo performed a personal hate crime on many of our fans.
Most of these guys made it past the second round of the playoffs. Romo lost more big games than he won. He was way better than Dak. To me Romo is a player who could get to a SB, bad luck, bone headed plays or what Have you. Could not get it done when it mattered.

LOL...you Romo haters are a hoot.

- In 12 NFL seasons Troy Aikman completed 61.5 percent of his passes for 32,942 yards. He threw for 165 touchdowns and 141 interceptions. His career passer rating was 81.6.

- In 11 NFL seasons Roger Staubach completed 57 percent of his passes for 22,700 yards. He threw for 153 touchdowns and 109 interceptions. He retired with an 83.4 career passer rating.

- In 9 NFL seasons, Romo has completed 64.5 percent of his passes for 20,834 yards. He’s thrown for 149 touchdowns and only 72 interceptions.

From 2007 to 2016, he led all quarterbacks with a 103.5 rating in the fourth quarter or overtime.

his 23 fourth-quarter comebacks and 27 game-winning drives from 2006 to 2014 ranked first for all quarterbacks. For his career, he ranks 17th in fourth-quarter comebacks (24) and 21st in game-winning drives (29).

record with 41 consecutive games of registering a touchdown pass on the road.

set a record for games with at least a 135.0 passer rating during a single season with six.

He retired in 2017 as the organization’s all-time leader in passing yards (34,183) and passing touchdown (248).
There is a saying Lies, Damn lies then statistics.

They call the Dez catch correctly and Tony’s in the Hall of Fame. Momentum carries us to stopping Erin and winning it all after one of the greatest plays in playoff history.

Rule at the time

1. Control-check
2. Two feet in bounds-check
3. Time to make a football move-check

After those 3 he becomes a runner
As he goes to the ground he’s a runner.

Yeah, I’ll never ever let that **** go.
Except the 4 minutes still on the clock Which is an eternity for Rogers. The game was far from over. And we all know what Rodgers can do with a couple seconds left let alone 4 minutes

Romo was great. I loved rooting for him and I wish his career had turned out different. I am not pro Dak vs Romo or the other way around. Romo is the better QB, and he retired having earned over 100 million dollars, still being able to have a great life physically and has become a top tier color analyst. What more could he want?
But he is not a hall of famer, it's actually a joke to think he should be. He was never elite even in his heyday.
He was a good qb in an era where you needed to be great. He had so many memorable losses.
The 2007 team was the best since the 90's era and they lost to the Giants at home as heavy favorites. They had spanked the Giants twice that year. 13-3 was not a joke that year.
2008 8-4 going into December they end up 9-7 miss the playoffs
2009 another really good team. They beat the Saints on Thursday night, beat Vick and the Eagles in the Wild card get spanked by the Vikes.
2010- Romo collarbone plays 6 games, they are 1-5 in those game
2011- 7-4 heading to December end up 8-8. Another loss in a winner goes to playoffs game
2012- 5-6 heading to December end up 8-8. Another loss in the final game where winner goes to playoffs
2013- 7-5 heading to December end up 8-8. Romo got injured against the Skins in a miracle win. Didnt play the last game of season
2014- 2nd best team of Romo era, beat the Lions at home in the wildcard.. Got very lucky but they won. Lose to Packers, the non-catch Dez game.
2015- Romo plays 4 games, team goes 4-12
2016- Romo injured in preseason.

Love the player but he was not a hall of famer. Please fanbase get out of this Stockholm syndrome love for Romo. It's not healthy.
Yes Troy did not have better numbers, he was not making miraculous plays on spin moves. Romo had a flair no doubt but he also make a ton of boneheaded mistakes at the wrong time. It was unfortunate, I defended him to all the Cowboy haters I really did. He was my QB. He was way more talented than Dak.
The one's who keep bad mouthing Troy, imagine how good he would be in this era that Romo played in. His coaches would have insisted on the shotgun which Troy hated.
Troy did have a very terrible end to this career, he was so immobile at the end it became sad to watch. He also went from havnga a great all time coach to having the worst coach in the league. Switzer was the worst hire that Jerry could have made. He also had to deal with the horrific drafting from Jerry from 94-2000.
Troy was clutch, could make all the throws. Yes he didnt have the numbers, his best season was 92 when he threw 23 TD's. The team was based around running the ball, they always played with a FB. Nowdays maybe 2 teams play with a fullback.
Go back and watch his postseason games from 1992 through 1995,10-1 post season record. He played a majority role in winning those games, it wasn't all just E. Smith.

Very nice breakdown.
Thanks sir. It's so sad that this team hasn't made a championship game since 1996. Jerry just refuses to bottom out and really rebuild. A total rebuild to being really good takes 3 years max. Look at what Jimmy did from 89-92, that was a demolition of existing organization from top to bottom and won a SB in the 4th season.
It happens all the time only its even easier now with Free agency. Look at the Niners, Bills, Dolphins, Cincy, LA Chargers, Seattle is doing it, Arizona did it.
It's not always going to result in a SB appearance but its better than 7-9 to 9-7.

Speaking of Arizona, imagine what this fanbase would say if we drafted Josh Rosen one year and the next year drafted Murray. While Murray may have his warts, he is way better than Rosen. I mean teams need to learn from their mistakes and not just compound bad decisions.
Look at the Rams, they made a mistake in signing Gurley and Goff, they got to a SB and even then moved off of both of them. Smart teams are not afraid of making mistakes.
That is how you win in this league.

He didn’t need to rebuild. 2002 was pretty bottomed out. What he needed to do was not be a complete and utter moron the second Parcells walked out the door. His decisions were horrendous! 2007. Pretty dam good team. By 2010. Already a complete Jerrified disaster after the ‘GM’ worked his usual magic. Jerry has no clue at all how to win or build a team. He’s made that clear!
