An Objective opinion: Concerned about Romo

[Darkhound]

Ok. I cannot let myself be blinded over a win vs the Pack. Yes it was a huge win, on the road, and a huge win Vs history.

That being said, I wake up today, and cannot deny the eerie feeling. This weird senstation that our QB is making "too (many) mistakes" and that thanks for the great team around him he gets away with it?

Anyone share the feeling?
Three games, three interceptions
Where is the scrambling QB we used to have?
Is the "Romo" magic, when he was not well known, now well studied by opponets fading away?

Is Romo a TRUE QB that will lead us into post season wins?

This are some of the many questions I cannot deny and ask myself?

Any comments guys?

Watch the pick again-it looked like a busted play with TO and Witten being in the same area. Obviously, one of the 2 ran the wrong route.

This is why I try not to pay attention to stats-for plays to get executed well, ALL elements have to work...ALL. For example, with his pick in the Browns game, Felix did a poor job in picking up the blitz, which threw off everyone's timing.

There are no perfect players, team or coaches. The other guys are trying to win too. Who would you rather have? Peyton, Favre, McNabb? Yeah,they never make mistakes.

 

[WV Cowboy]

There is a concern with INT's in the red zone, especially in the end zone.

He normally more than makes up for it, but it still concerns me that it could happen at a bad time in the future.

If it's not there, it is not a bad thing to throw it away and kick the FG.

 

[TtownCowboy]

My only fear is they are "coaching" him too much. Seems to me that several of the bone head plays he's made this year he scrambled out of and took off on last year. That being said it's early yet and I think he'll be fine

 

[AmishCowboy]

We'll just have to live with the Fact that Tony is a Gunslinger type QB, He did throw the Ball away a couple of times last nite, I would just like to see him be more carefull in the Red Zone.

The Sky Is Falling!!!!!!

 

[Darkhound]

Yes... i am also affraid that the "excessive amount of coaching" and advices will take away his "magic" and his improvistation....

 

[NeonNinja]

I want him to cut down on the mistakes, but he makes plenty of big plays to negate most of them. I'm just happy to have him as our Qb.

 

[superpunk]

My comment would be first - stop waking up with eerie feelings about things that are out of your control - like football games.

Second, Romo's had this tendency his entire career, he made a bad decision, we take the good with the bad. Maybe most QBs don't make that dumb throw. Most QBs don't throw TDs on 3rd and 20, either.

Sorry I don't have any real concerns with Romo. I agree last night was not one of his better outings but he continues to overcome mistakes. All QB's make them but the good ones overcome them. When we needed a big play Romo came through with a perfect strike to Austin for a TD this team believes in him and so do I. He has the talent and skill to lead this team all the way I have no doubts about it.

 

[TheCount]

He shouldn't have made the throw, but that was just one of several mental blunders so far this season. Chuck it up to his relative inexperience, I wouldn't get too worked up about it but he is starting to make me nervous whenever he drops back in the redzone, not a good feeling.

You have a Valid Point my friend.....What I heard from ROMO in the offseason is he wants to study the "greats" particularly Tom BRady, he wants to learn the mechanics to a tee....problem with this is TOny was already good to begin with, there is not much he really has to change, hes running on the go will sometimes produce sloppy throws, but it can also produce "dynamic" plays like the ones that he has done for the past 2 years.

If ROMO wants to learn from the greats he should take their struggles and obstalces they had too overcome to win the BIG ONE instead of trying to mimic them, and and, if he wants to study greats he should take a look at Roger Staubach who he reminds me of with his scrambling abilities.

More than once I have told my friends and wife, "man Tony could of easily gotten the first down if he would of just ran the ball instead of thrown that ball which was no where "being caught" by our receivers.

ROmo needs to be ROmo and stop trying to be someone else....Yes maKE your mechanics better, but NO, dont change your whole Style Tony it was good to begin with, He needs to go back and look at footage of himself, .....another great indicator that the coaching staff has also adopted Tony's stance throw where he just stands there and throws, is that I don't see that moving pocket that I used to.

A moving pocket is a lifesaver in certain situations, haven't seen much of it this year. we'll see.

Don't try to justify talking good about the team while taking jabs at Romo. Rodgers last night played not to make mistakes and did not take chances, while Romo did make mistakes but took his chances and helped his team win. Also don't try to say that Romo is lucky to have a great team behind him because so does Matt Cassell in NE and yet you see a big difference when the QB play is bad. The teams in the NFL go as far as their QB takes them.

The guy has as many 300 yard games in 28 starts as Aikman had in a career, yet he throws for 260 1 TD and 1 int and he has problems....Get Real.

 

[Disturbed]

I thought Romo looked "off" for this game. He threw many passes off the mark that he normally makes easily....timing off, routes wrong, poor pass, all of the above...and two intentional grounding calls. Just seemed like a poor night which is not like him at all.

He should not have many nights like this, so relax and expect him to get his QB rating of 82 back up closer to 100.

I agree. Romo did not look sharp and seemed to be off a bit. I think what some may forget all QB's have off days but even on an off day Romo came through at crunch time and put the Packers away.

Can't believe people still freak out about this. I've become numb to both ends of the spectrum. The INT didn't phase me (though the runback did). And then Tony throws that bomb to seal the game and my wife is in the other room and I just sort of non-chalantly announced, "Oh, honey, Tony just won the game," as if I were asking her to pick up a gallon of milk at the store. We're uber-spoiled at this point.

Yes, and I will take Romo slightly off over most of the QB's in this league. He is smart enough to recognize his play and adjust as needed. He seems to have a natural feel for this....always seems to come through when it counts (aka Staubach, Captain Comeback).

He seems to be a student of the game and should get better with time...

 

[T-New41]

I think as many have said, his good plays will usually far outweigh his bad plays. He tends to try to make something happen when maybe it would be better to take a sack or just throw the ball away. But, if he didnt always try to make something happen from nothing, we wouldnt get the jaw dropping "wow" plays that we see from him so often. I know the reference is cliche, but he reminds me of Farve (young Farve), you know there will be a play where he forces it somewhere he shouldn't that results in a stupid turnover, but you also know there will be some kind of amazing play that only he could pull off at some point as well. All in all, I am glad to have him as our QB, and the fact he was an undrafted FA makes it all the more amazing what he has accomplished.
