A year-by-year look at how the Romo era has been wasted thus far

[Red Dragon]

So it's wrong to put your $108 million QB in tough spots and expect him to get it done? God forbid we expect our "franchise QB" to get it done when it counts.

Does it matter how much someone is paid? A QB who is paid $500 million might not be able to evade four simultaneously incoming pass rushers on a blitz (when all of his receivers are covered) any more than a QB who is paid $500,000. Money doesn't turn someone into Superman.

 

[Section446]

Romo was last seen playing at Washington. How did that go?

About as well as it can vs. the second worst team in the league, I guess?

What are you talking about? Romo DID get it DONE this year "when it counts", he had a GWD with a herniated back week 16 on the road against a divisional rival giving this team a chance in week 17. It's not his fault our team couldn't get it done when he got them there, smh. Romo did his part this year, and he was well worth his salary this year.

Yikes..

I respect Romo-lovers..

But can never understand why they are so willing to accept mediocre play from their favorite player as a reason why you should love him..

There is something very scarey about thinking like that.

It's the same thing our owner says about our HC...

..we know Garrett hasnt been perfect..but since he's made a bunch of mistakes..

..we should just sit and wait awhile longer and take advantage of those mistakes becuz they can't keep happening..

can they?

Having one of the best QB ratings of all time isn't "mediocre", I'm sorry, you're either trolling or blind.

And that's an anomaly. You can't expect a QB to only have a 2 year window to have a CHANCE at a Super Bowl and actually win one, talk about being unrealistic. Most good QBs have a chance every year to win one because they have an actual team, yet you're saying Romo should be able to do it only 2 years ...

Elite quarterbacks have more than 2 year windows because most of them are constantly deep in the playoffs. Non-elite quarterbacks are constantly "fighting for the playoffs" and hoping for the dream season. 2007 was the dream season that didn't end right.

What does that have to do with anything you were rambling about "when it counts"? Let me guess, in your fantasy world a week 5 game against Denver is "when it counts"? I love Romo haters, they're so adaptable. They change their paper-thin narrative on the fly to match their weak arguments.

No doubt, difference between us is that I'm willing to give him credit when he does well, but I'm also not blind, and recognize when he does poorly.

Well = Washington game winner.
Poor = GB and Denver game losing turnover.

You missed two other game winners. Not that I'm surprised, you don't watch the games.

Wait, so it only counts when it supports your love for Romo? If he wins the game, it counts, if he throws a game losing INT, it doesn't? You're a confusing one.

I'm not blind, I'm just not an idiot. I understand the only reason he threw those interceptions is because his defense put him in that position in the first place. Answer this, if his defense was average, would he of needed to throw the ball in those situations? The answer is no, and if it weren't for his atrocious defense he would've never thrown the interception.

Never, I'm never at any of the games either, I just lie about being there every week.

So you're saying that it's wrong to expect him to perform when the game is on the line? If that's how you feel, that's fine. I just expect more from my "franchise QB".

 

[Lodeus]

Romo wins plenty in tough situations. Just not so much in the toughest.

The defense has let this team down as much if not more the past two years though. Anyone who cant see that is clearly just a Romo hater.

You must think Tony Romo is better then Drew Brees huh? If so that's completely laughable, I'm a big Romo fan, but really dude?

Surprised romo lovers haven't came to tell you about how good his stats are

Hey! You can't deny that the guy puts up good statistics. Like I've said before, if your goal is to win your fantasy football league, you'd be hard pressed to find a better QB. If your goal is to win a SB, there are plenty of QB's I'd rather take my chances with.

 

[dstovall5]

Surprised romo lovers haven't came to tell you about how good his stats are

Don't need to looks at stats to see how great he is, just they back up what most of us see. Statistics are a representation of how someone performs, and I'm sure you know this.

Hell, on second thought I think Geno Smith is the best QB in the NFL. I mean his QB rating is horrible, but stats don't tell the whole picture, it's just his team sucks. Let's ignore the fact that he's thrown more ints then tds, he's a helluva QB!

 

[DABOYZ]

Absolutely, well they at least put him in tough spots in which he eventually throws an interception. This year alone, if his defense was anything better then straight garbage he doesn't throw 2 game ending interceptions against GB and Den. So yes, yes they do.

Also, let's not act like he never has game winning drives, because over the past couple years he has just as many as anybody. Anyone with an actual brain can tell the problem is with the defense, and not with Romo. All QBs throw game ending interceptions, just Romo's get highlighted more because of the D.

Can anyone put together a list of teams and records that Romo has had "game winning" drive against? I ask this because his record against teams with winning records has been terrible over the last 6-7 years. This year the defense was very bad, then of course there was last here I believe the O-line was to blame. And so on for previous years. Does the defense sometimes put the offense in bad positions, yes. But lets not forget how this offense often times put the defense in bad positions. This offense does not take advantage of turnovers and doesn't take full advantage of each and every drive. I'm sure we could do an entire story on why most of Romo's picks come on 1st or 2nd down but no need to do that as his best days may now be well behind him.

 

[TrailBlazer]

I'm not blind, I'm just not an idiot. I understand the only reason he threw those interceptions is because his defense put him in that position in the first place. .

That just screams agenda. It can't be everybody but Romo's fault every time. Geez. Just admit he makes mistakes and move on.

 

[Super_Kazuya]

Don't need to looks at stats to see how great he is, just they back up what most of us see. Though, statistics are a representation of how someone performs, I'm sure you know this though.

Don't pay to much attention to Section000. He's got this magical definition in his head of when "it's all on the line", but he can't tell you what it actually is because then it would be easily debunked. We can only hope the powers that be send in some Romo haters who actually watch the games next time.
