Shares the blame! lol they were a top tier passing offense. That was the team for the majority of his career. One season the RB GROUP had 6 TDs??! That’s pathetic! while the GM screwed him every offseason. Starting with Garrett and Phillips and it snowballed from there! The domino effect was a result of one crap decision after the next!

Exaggeration but I do agree the GM could have helped him more. But really no need for us talking you are much higher on him than I . I give him both credit and blame you are more one sided

If we had Tony over the last 3 seasons we probably have a superbowl.

More like Romo would probably gotten reinjured after getting hit in a regular season game.

That's just it. Gimme's posts are usually nonsensical.

Always wondered what percentage of our points were a result of Tony's magic and not our "system".

Yes. So magical.

Time to stop apologizing for Tony Oh No!

2008 3 picks for Williams. Felix Jones in the first, the special teams draft of 2009, didn’t draft Tyron til the QB was 32. The meat of his career was horrendous management. Which ultimately played the biggest part in the teams yearly collapse! I’m not one sided. It was blatantly obvious Jerry was a moron which had a huge effect with their play on the field. Again top tier passing offense ‘consistently’ and not much else!

COACH!!!!

You got that right Bruh. If people thought Dak was polarizing, Romo was on a biblical proportion! Romo had his own section with houndreds of threads.....it was unbelievable

Truth.

Prescott's supporters are correct stating he receives a massive amount of unnecessary criticism. However, the frequency and quantity of Prescott's over-the-board criticism is only the tip of the iceberg by comparison to what Romo receives. Heck, anyone could just compare the nonsense thrown at both men only from the perspective of their first three professional seasons solely and Prescott would still lag far behind Romo.

It defies logic. Romo has been retired for years, wins a golf tourney, someone posts about it, and the exact same pitchforks and torches are grabbed out of storage like clockwork.

That video perfectly demonstrates the lack of pass protection he suffered for the majority of his career.

Before the hits made him brittle, he was the best scrambler in Cowboys history, including Sir Roger.

This low-rent and uneducated fan base didn't deserve Tony Romo. He's beyond their intellectual capacity.

I would put Meredith and White ahead of Romo. At best Romo is 5th when it comes to Cowboy QBs, Dak might even move pass Romo if he can win another division title this season and a divisional round playoff game.

This is hilarious. I guess there are arguments for White and Meredith over Romo, but they are pretty flimsy. As for Dak after next season, regardless of what he does: :lmao:

Irvin88_4life said:
Dak was one blown call away that may have cost him a chance at an NFC championship game.

Thing is you have to make the plays that put you in a winning situation. Romo didn't do that, he went for a deep pass on 4th and short instead of taking the easy first down to keep the drive moving. Even if the refs didn't over turn the catch they still had to score.

This is another terrible take. Dak wasn't a blown call away from winning, and if Romo hadn't gotten robbed of completing a perfect pass, Dallas is first and goal at the 2. I doubt Romo gets his potentially game winning pass batted down at the line of scrimmage like Dak did against GB in 2016.

What other time could they have drafted him?

Waiting until your QB is in his 30s to really address OL is moronic.. even for Jerry. But the GM managed to go above and beyond! lol Romo had to beg for linemen!! OL should’ve been a priority 5 years earlier

FACT: It's only a small contingent of Cowboys fans that fawn over Romo like he belongs in the same discussion as elite quarterbacks who actually won a memorable post season game or two throughout their careers. Outside of that echo chamber, history is undisputed in labeling Romo a choke artist at the most inopportune times.

So.. when you say he's "beyond their intellectual" capacity, you're not just speaking down to the non-koolaid drinkers on this forum but to the league as a whole because they refuse to acknowledge Doug Flutie's *flash in the pan*, spiritual successor.

You said Tyron so that's who my question was about specifically. It's not like Tyron was available to draft at any other point in time.

GenoT · Jul 17, 2019

The then-and-now ongoing mantra of Romoholics...

When the Cowboys won: “Tony carried the whole team.”

When the Cowboys lost: “Tony couldn’t carry the whole team.”

Tony was a great QB but the team never got past the div-round of the postseason while he was the starter; now his time has passed.

What happened is in the history books, and all the shoulda-coulda-woulda is meaningless.

Get over it.

I said Tyron because he was the first lineman taken. Not really that difficult to figure out.

Tony has made some mistakes that is for sure. But so did Brett Favre. But Tony deserves all the credit in the world for success despite awful Olines and a defense that has been at historically awful levels in creating turnovers. On top of that he had to suffer in a Jason Garrett offensive system for many years. So I will continue to say that he was magical when you consider what he did with what he had.

Plan B started in 93. Novacek signed with Dallas in 90.

Just pasting this from rob awlats wikipedia page, and please dont give me the cliche that wiki has errors. I remember plan B in 1990

Dallas Cowboys[edit]
In 1990, the Dallas Cowboys acquired Awalt looking for him to recover his previous form and compete with Novacek (who was acquired in Plan B free agency) for the starting tight end job. He would end up having only 13 receptions for 133 yards, falling behind Novacek and missing the last 3 games because of a back injury. The next year, his production fell to 5 receptions for 57 yards, but he was still being used in two-tight end sets
