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

[Section446]

Statistics mean nothing if they aren't accompanied by a win. He had the game in his hands in both games, and he failed to come through when it counted most.

Denver?
Really?
Your using Denver as an example of where Romo was a failure?

The end of the GB was brutal though.
It should have never come to that anyway,but it did.

Odd that his failures are games where we score 48 and 36 points.

Those guys are definitely in a tier above guys like Romo. Amongst the QB's without a ring though, Romo still isn't in the top five. If Romo was 26, I'd be pumped about our future with him, but he's not. We have seen enough of him to know exactly what he is, a guy who will put up stats, but can't be relied on when the game is in his hands. I'll give him credit, sometimes he pulls a rabbit out of his hat (Washington game), but he's far too inconsistent to be reliable. Let me ask you, what's Romo's defining moment of his career?

Very good post.

 

[jnday]

Yes but I'm sure you know that anyone can find a stat to support their narrative

The stat that shows Romo having thrown twice as many interceptions since 2006, in the 4th quarter with the game tied or with a small lead as the next closest QB proves that stats can back up anything. In this case it proves that Romo does turn the ball over in critical situations 50% more then any other QB. All QBs makes these turnovers, Romo just does it more.

That stat was debunked as ESPN BS months ago. Do try to keep up with your required Romo hating reading material. You've clearly fallen behind a bit.

 

[DABOYZ]

You aren't really going out on a limb there. Most QBs fail trying to go against good teams in the 4th... that's why they are good teams. I think you fall for the myth that there are quarterbacks who always come up with game winning drives every time they need to, without fail. It's more like a batting average... failing three times out of ten is a good average over all. I think you are going to be disappointed with the results if you think you are going to find something to make Romo look bad, because it's basically the same for all quarterbacks. I believe Brady ended three games with interceptions this year, and they were all against good teams. The NFL is hard.

I think you just need to read more thoroughly instead of getting butt hurt and giving your knee jerk reaction comments. If you notice I didnt just say 4th quarter wins, I said wins against winning teams period. Look it up, I did and it was absolutley ridiculous. Now if you really want to put your money where your mouth is. I'm all in next year bud. Hit me up and I will be here ready to take all the Romo stats you can throw at me along with that hard earned money your wife earns. I would suggest you start saving up now and lay off the mj. And yea no **** the NFL is hard and that is exactly why most of this teams money should not have been spent on a stat machine like Romo. I would take Luck any day of the week vs Romo and twice on Sunday kid.

It was used fairly recently on ESPN. Of course it is a stat that doesn't support your agenda , so you will choose to ignore it. You can stop the hating BS when responding to me. You clearly don't know what the definition of hater is. I don't hate anybody . I am sure you ignore the number of wins Romo has against teams with winning records as well. That stat doesn't support your man-love either.

It's not a recent stat, you just only recently heard it. It's a bogus stat, and you should know that just from reading it, but you're blinded by your Romo hating agenda. It's time for you to go back to playing Madden, because you're certainly not providing anything new here.

 

[Coy]

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?

Haha, mediocre play, 90 td's and 39 int's in the last 3 years, all while being 24-24, you talk about Romo-lovers but it's clear that this is much more about Romo-haters like you.
You'll come back with the "stats mean nothing if you don't win" cliche but if you really think that is mediocre then you have no clue as what mediocre means. This is a team game, you need good teams to win, today's playoff games are the perfect example of it, football never just fits into this conventional box....the winning QBs today threw a combined 5 INTs, the losing QBs threw 0, Brees had 1 td and 2 costly Int's with a 75 rating but guess what, the saints won the game so he is a winner, find me a game in Romo's career when his team has won with those kind of stats? You may find a couple because he's played in more than 100 games but the point is that if Romo doesn't play almost flawless football we usually don't win, now look at the record when he has a rating of over 100 and compare that to other QB's around the league and you'll basically see that when other QB's have a 100+ rating they win, not the case for Romo, so yeah, in this case stats do matter.

I tend to believe ESPN over a blinded homer fan with a man-crush.

 

[burmafrd]

this thread as expected becomes a blame or don't blame Romo thread. What are the room haters going to do when he retires? Probably kill themselves. They clearly have no othern reason to live other then to hate Romo.

 

[burmafrd]

and I would believe BSPN over a Romo hater like you.

 

[Section446]

Win a Super Bowl, and it all goes away.

 

[Fredd]

Here's a stat,

threads being taken over by Romo-haters VS Romo-supporters = something close to 75%, higher than that if the actual thread is ABOUT Tony

tony is culpable for some of the losing, the team is culpable for some of the losing, the FO/coaching staff is 100% responsible for the losing

 

[RoyTheHammer]

No question, but his failures are mainly due to his incompetence of the supporting piecies around him. Unlike other good/great QBs, most of them have a good supporting cast to pick up the slack when their play is down. Give the man an average defense, at least, because that's not right to expect him to carry us with an atrocious defense, especially like the one this year. Even HoF QBs aren't asked to carry a team to the playoffs with no help, yet here we are asking Romo to do just that.

No one is asking Romo to carry a team to the playoffs with no help.. we've already established he's not good enough to do that.

We have, though, had years where our defense, special teams, and running game have been solid.. so i'm a bit tired of hearing this line of thought on the subject.

 

[Ren]

Romo has played his part in wasting his carer as well every year there seems to be a couple of games he single handidly throws away. The last 3 years those would have been the difference between 8-8 sitting at home or 10-6 division champs

 

[ufcrules1]

Romo is done. Put a fork in him.

 

[fifaguy]

2009 and 2007 were our best chances (sadly) at doing something. Just my two cents.

 

[Section446]

Romo is done. Put a fork in him.

Again, if he's Stafford's, Ryan's, Wilson's age, this is a totally different conversation. But the fact is, he's had years upon years to get it done, and he just hasn't. This "core" of players (Witten, Austin, Ware, Romo, etc...) just isn't getting it done, and hasn't. At some point, you have to come to the realization that it just isn't going to happen with these guys, and that it's time to just move on. Every team in the NFL has to come to this realization at some point, and start a youth movement. Example, you're going to see a VERY different Giants team next year. They had their run (like we have tried to), now it's time to start cutting the over-priced veterans, and start anew. Hell, the Giants are already thinking about life without Eli, their two time Super Bowl MVP, with the drafting of Nassib. The Patriots are thinking about life without their 3 time Super Bowl champion QB, with the drafting of Mallett.

Yeah, I agree completely. I think this is the year we will have a horrible record and the rebuilding begins in 2015. Jerry will keep almost all of the vets again, may even keep Hatcher and Spencer too for 2014. But after a really bad season, the youth movement can begin and hopefully we can get a decent coach too. Hard to imagine a good coach wanting to come here with the way Jerry always meddles. Jerry needs a puppet.

And I'm not saying that we have to cut Romo right now, but it's time to start accepting that it's not going to happen with him, and that we need to start thinking about the future NOW. Waiting any longer to start thinking about his replacement is like the person who waits until they are 55 to start saving for retirement, it's completely illogical.
