A Romo Time Machine Thread

[blindzebra]

Roger Staubach was saying that all Tony is missing is more talent around him so...in our way back machine we transport Tony back to past decades.

Tony joins the 60's teams does Dallas win a Super Bowl?

Tony joins the 70's teams does Dallas win more Super Bowls? Less? The same?

Tony joins the 80's teams does Dallas win a Super Bowl?

Tony joins the 90's teams does Dallas win more? Less? The same?

I am going with Yes in the 60's. The same in the 70's. Yes in the 80's. MORE in the 90's.

Yes I think Tony would have been able to carry the 96-2000 teams better than Troy.

The 90's? Absolutely.

It didn't take a lot of skill to hand the ball off to Emmitt.

The other eras? Who knows. It's a much different game now than it was then. But I think he certainly has the skill for it.

It's a different game now than it was in the 60's, 70's, 80's, and 90's. COMPLETELY different game as far as passing goes.

I won't disrespect Meredith, Staubach, White, or Aikman by saying Romo would have won "More" than they did, but I will say he wouldn't have been a weakness on those teams, nor is he a weakness on the current team.

Tony would of won 4 superbowls in the 90's. He is better than Troy Aikman.

I am sure if he had thrown the ball to Jackie Smith in the 1978 SB, people would have blamed Tony for it not being thrown in a place where Smith could catch it.

Romo has been doomed by being surrounded by an intern and his family members and lackeys. He would be very successful for this team in a different era with actual NFL coaching.

I don't think so. Romo is great but Aikman is a HOF multiple SB winner who played best in the playoffs and SB.

Watchu talkin 'bout Willis?

 

[Romo2Ogletree]

Troy was a bus driver. I'm sure he could of been more of a.gunslinger but Tonys proven that his whole career and Troy hasn't. Give Tony an Emmitt Smith and a great defense and he would have plenty of rings.

 

[noshame]

LOL Romo couldn't have run Norv's offense, does not have the leadership to run a huddle back then, and would have been injured by week three of every season the way they took shots in those eras....next

Well we won 3 as it is and were a bad non PI call away from likely going to a 4th (and likely winning). It's not that much of a stretch to say we could have won 4 with Romo.

Not saying I agree, just saying it's not that much of a stretch.

i like romo but i would take troy any day of the week over romo

maybe you are too young to have watched that team live?

If Philip Rivers can run Norval's offense Tony Romo sure as hell can.

And when has Romo's leadership ever come into question? You have enough to work with while trying to drum up your anti-Romo bias without pulling crap outa your arse.

 

[blindzebra]

We saw Aikman's limitations when salary cap and injuries started to erode the talent base post 95.

I think Romo could have adapted to the changes better than Troy did and maybe squeeze out one more.

 

[visionary]

troy proved time and again that he could deliver on the big stage
romo has never even had the chance

Romo could not throw to a spot on time in a million years.

You people crack me up, the guy can't deliver in this era so let's go hypothetical!!!

Well, the first part of his post was fine and I don't actually disagree with him. The second part... mmm, I don't know.

the only thing romo has over troy is his mobility

if you look at the success peyton and brady are having in this era behind decent OLs, that argument does not hold water

troy was a great leader, deadly accurate, make all the throws, repeatedly showed he could deliver on the biggest stage and under pressure

give me troy over romo

Well, as the talent of the OL started to fade, Romo's scrambling ability might have offset that, as well. Romo has proven he doesn't need all-world on the OL.

No, he isn't...

And the idea that Troy was a bus driver is utterly absurd. Defensve backs could "mug" receivers, so accuracy and precision were defining characteristics of Trory. The offenses of today were around back then and they went by the name "run and shoot" and the "K Gun"... They only survived in the pitful AFC and the NFC essentially dominated them, especially in Super Bowls.
