Attn: Tony Romo... you deserve better.

[Aikmaniac]

BS. The defense is 99% to blame.

It's not bad, it's epically bad.

 

[Clove]

I hope he is finally fed up with this grossly dysfunctional franchise's crap and demands a trade.

Frankly, I hope Dez, Sean Lee, and Ware (though I doubt Ware could demand much) follow suit.


SCORCHED EARTH

One can only dream.

I'm assuming you mean better quarterbacking, correct? In your opinion, if we had a Cam Newton or a Rapistburger or a Matt Ryan (all you've said are better than Romo in your portfolio of Romo bashing posts and threads), would we have a more successful football team?

No, that is not what I was saying. I was saying, us fans deserve better all around. This whole team and ownership is putting total dog crap on the field and I'm tired of hearing how wonderful Romo would be on some other team and how he deserves so much better. He is part of this team and pare of the reason our team is .500 since he has been here. Romo is nothing special.

I'm not going to get into hypotheticals with regards to other QB's out there, I'm just tired of hearing how Romo deserves better. That is ridiculous.

Yeah, poor Romo...

You can not say with a straight face that he wasn't out played by a scrub back up quarterback. Forget the defense for a second. Offense vs offense. He wasn't chicken ****. He threw the ball in tight spaces, tossed it up to his second receiver in the end zone. You know what the guy did? He gave his receivers a chance to make a play. Romo rarely does that. He won't just throw it up to Dez or Austin, and when he does, it's like 10 feet over their head. He sees a little pressure, he ducks and goes down before the pressure gets there. Somewhere down the road, he lost his guts. If teams take Witten out of the game, he's lost. He sees guys open, but he doesn't have the velocity to get the ball there, and now he doesn't want to make a mistake.

AT least back then, he had some guts. But his arm is too weak, his accuracy is average to below average, his decision making has never been great just average, and he's lost nearly all of his ability to get out of pressure, which is what made him quote "Great" to his lovers. Now he's worse than ever before, and I don't care what the stats say. Use your eye balls. Use your eyes and not the stat sheet, and you will see an average QB at best. However, he's not getting paid like an average QB.

Of course I can say it with a straight face.

Bears receivers were WIDE OPEN all night. McCown had all kinds of options. Use your eyeballs. If the Bears were a good offense (like we will see if Rodgers is playing this weekend), 60 points is not out of the question.

Romo is asked WEEK AFTER WEEK AFTER WEEK to score 35-40 points. Is he not? Tell me that one of your pet peeves with Romo wasn't that him "throwing it up" to his receivers is the reason why he throws picks or ill-advised passes?

You know exactly why he doesn't throw the ball up for grabs. He knows if he throws a pick (or fumbles the ball during a sack) that this putrid excuse for a defense won't be able to come through.

In the last post I forgot to point out that Romo is 12th in yards, 16 in yards per attempt.

And if anything, his TD stats are inflated a bit by Dez Bryant, the best redzone weapon in the league.

So no other QB has a stud WR?

I did not know that Dez is the only stud WR in the league that inflates TD passes.............................................you guys are just embarrassing yourselves at this point trying to now discount Romo's TDs.

A TD pass to Dez is inflating Romo's numbers, but a TD pass to Witten or Beasly is legit........................do yall realize how dumb this sounds?

 

[5Stars]

Manning isn't Brunell, but he can certainly sling the rock better than Romo.

Peyton routinely makes these throws.

Romo does not.

Romo has made throws like that. Don't pick and choose stuff like that!

 

[Everlastingxxx]

I know Romo has better stats this season but he just doesn’t seem to be very dynamic anymore. He looks much more calculated and less like a playmaker. I don’t think it is fair to only blame the defense. I think the offense have failed and has regressed this season. Romo needs a new HC and a new system and new pieces around him. I still think he has what it takes to be a Championship QB.

How many has he made this year?

Dez Bryant is literally the most dangerous, most efficient redzone threat in the league.

There is nothing that special about these throws from Romo's end. It's simple toss and catch. It may as well be a run from a dominant ground team. Orton could do this too.

If I'm remembering right, 8 of Dez' 10 TDs this season have been in this fashion.

When the Saints took that away with the gunner coverage, Romo didn't do anything.

Dude romo has 27 tds only 9 are to dez

I don't know? How many times were his receivers open for a throw like that? How many times did he have time to let his receiver get downfield? How many games has Miles missed? What is the name of his rookie receiver? How many times has the game plan called for those kinds of throws?

Dude, football is not static or linear, and you cannot compare one QB to the other because of the dynamics of the team it self.

The question was to get you to actually think back give an example of when Romo has made a throw like that recently. Because I can think of more that he missed.

I can only think of one throw this year that rivals that, and it would be the Terence Williams TD against Denver.

Other than that, I've given an example of a very similar situation (against the same player, Brandon Flowers, in the same year) when Romo had a guy wide open down the field (Dez) and missed him. Meanwhile, you've got Decker (not on Bryant's level) running down the field for a 37 yard strike (same yardage) against Flowers AND a safety (Price).

The point is, Romo DOESN'T make these throws consistently.

 

[Nova]

And you're right. Football isn't linear or static as you put it. But I've watched the film. I've watched Romo all season. I've even done a write up on him after the Saints game. You think I started and stopped watching his coaches film with that game?

He's not making those throws not because of the system and not because people aren't open. But rather because he either can't do it consistently, or he won't.
