Rowdy makes an appearance, lol.

I love how no one ever agrees with Skip. He's the antagonist.. :laugh2:

 

[reddyuta]

let me guess-skip hates the whole idea.some people really have masochistic tendencies when it comes to the cowboys.

Replace "some people" with "Skip Bayless always" and you are dead on.

I disagree with Skippie on just about everything he says. But he does have a point when it comes to Romo/golf/Jessica. His priorities might be a little out of wack, and as a paying customer I would like to know if he in fact has become the "hollywood QB" Parcells warned him about.

Meh. I liked Mick's assessment of the situation.

I was warned by someone who participates in the blogging and message-board culture this was coming. Now wait a minute. Didn't I hear these same complaints last year when Romo tried to qualify for the U.S. Open? And let's see, all he did was throw for more yards than any Cowboys quarterback in team history. Boy, that golf really messed him up. Heck, if that's the case, maybe he ought to try to qualify for the upcoming Colonial, too. Would you guys just stop it? As long as he's getting in his workouts, as long as he's participating in the throwing sessions, as long as he's here for the majority of the OTA sessions, what's to worry about? He takes five hours out of his Wednesday to play a round of golf. Man, the guy can't date who he wants. Can't play a round of golf when he wants. Can't go to Vegas when he wants. What next?

I bet you would love the very staid ELI manning as your QB.

 

[MONT17]

they should replace Skip with Thea Andrews... the thing I hate about 1st and 10 you know what Woody an Skip will say before they say it! I stopd watching that show long time ago... useless info!!!

are you referring to the 24 year old superbowl champion Eli Manning?

 

[reddyuta]

are you referring to the 24 year old superbowl champion Eli Manning?

Yes.I am.I would take Romo over Eli any day.

 

[Little Jr]

Please tell me you wouldnt take Eli over Romo. The Dmac love affair was a little much but semi understandalbe.

he's come from a football family, won a superbowl with huge expectations because of who his brother is, and is 4 years younger than Romo. hard to argue with that.

 

[kristie]

skip bayless is such an idiot.

Football players don't win super bowls by themselves. Football teams do. Tony Romo played well enough to win that playoff game. So did Eli Manning. The difference came elsewhere on that day.

I gotta take Romo. Manning just isn't a QB who you can call a Franchise type. He's too inconsistent. I don't think age should really matter that much. Romo should have a long enough career to where I would take the production over mediocre play.

With that said, if you told me that from this point forward Eli was going to play around the level he played at in the playoffs and limit turnovers the way he did, I'd be tempted. The way he played is exactly how you want your QB to play. Put points up and limited mistakes, what more can you ask. So, I would be tempted if you threw it that little caveat.

But, it works both ways I suppose because if Romo could do the same, Eli couldn't compete with Romo one bit but until Romo shows he can, Im going to be skeptical. Post bye week last season, Romo only had one week where he didn't throw an INT. Granted his numbers were great other then that but combined with a Fumble in all but two weeks, its a little much.

Personally, I think thats all hes got left to work on. Ball security and bad throws/over-confidence (whatever you want to attribute it to) are the only parts in his game where he can use work. If he could improve in those areas, there wouldn't any doubt in my mind that Dallas is a contender every year hes out there.

I really don't need to see Romo throw for 40 TDs and this season. I'd much rather see 30 TDs and half as many INTs and Fumbles

Since you've lost your driver status on the Dmac bandwagon, and you're familiar with New York traffic, maybe you should reinstate yourself as the new driver of the legendary Eli Manning New York Football Giants Bandwagon...All Aboard!


I would seriously consider it if I were you, 'cause your gonna look real silly around here when the Cowboys make it to the Super bowl and your boy go's back to slumping around the sidelines pouting 'cause Shockey stole his milk money.

Eli Manning is 27 (he's about 9 months younger than Tony Romo, not 4 years), and had the 25th best QB rating in the NFL last season. Worse than Kyle Boller and only slightly better than the horrifying Vince Young.

Saying you'd prefer that to what Romo brings to the table is akin to saying you'd prefer Zak DeOssie to DeMarcus Ware because he won a super bowl and has a football heritage.

In a word - dumb.

 

[Mr Cowboy]

I saw an interview with Romo last night on the local news. It was after he missed the cut for the qualifying, and he said that he has not had time to come out and practice his golf game much because he is spending so much time with his football job.

 

[Cowboys=SuperBowl]

***?! Eli better than Romo??? Mind you, he threw up a lucky pass, while playing ever so inconsistent, while the team carried them, while Tony does it week in and week out with maybe one or two bad games, and you hail Eli as better?LOL!

I will take Romo anyday, even if I wasn't a DIEHARD Cowboys fan!!!

Can't argue with that one.
