Calling All Romo Evaluations

[sonnyboy]

Mine first.

Has decent size 6-2 225. Same as many current starting QB's McNabb/Farve.
Certainly no midget like some morons would suggest. Jason Garrett, what a freaking joke!

4 years with this staff learning the system. Certainly looked calm and in command presnap. This is obviously a bi-product of knowing what he's doing.

Makes quick decisions. Gets rid of the ball quickly when he can.

From what I see, he looks comfortable coming off primary read to 2nd, 3rd, 4th option. Did you guys see that clutch 3rd and 13 when he scanned the field right to left and found Witten sitting in an open zone at the sticks.
Another excellent example of this was the 50 TD to Crayton. That was a sweet play. I could go on for two pages on what was right about that play. I think were gonna see alot of that these next ten games.

Pocket presence. HE WAS OUTSTANDING IN THE POCKET. Nearly flawless from my observation. Moved well, bought time. AND WITH HIS ATTENTION DOWN FIELD, FELT THE PRESSURE.

Quick, smooth release. For the most part, very tight spirals. ACCURATE!

I'm still not sure on his arm strenght. In viewing the replays of T.O.'s TD, that pass look strong. He really fired that one. Need to see more downfield passing. Can he chuck it 60 plus yards? Can he screem a 20 yard in/out. Have yet to see this.

The negatives: choaked on a few plays. First play bootleg should not have been thrown. He needs to eat that one and get a couple yards running. Screen Int was unacceptable. Not sure what happened on the last one at the goalline.

Bottom line is that his mistakes outweighed the positive plays. We win 10% of our games with this type performance. However, the mistakes can and will be reduced, but the talent was undeniable.

I might be wrong, but I don't think many quarterbacks can throw it 60+ yards.

 

[sonnyboy]

Sure they can. But that's about it. Strongest arms go 70 plus. I'd be happy with 50-55 yards for Romo.

 

[Cochese]

I dont think its fair to evaluate him after last night. I would like to see him play with some form of a running game before I say anything one way or the other.

I will second that he is mobile and accurate. I also want to add that he was active in trying to make plays. He also brought energy and that's something this team has not felt since Quincy. Thats what you get with young qb. Sure they are green but they want they want to win.

Oh on that screen pass julius was actually being held and the officials simply missed the call. No I dont have sour grapes but simply look at the replay.

Romo's last int was a good decision but a bad throw. Crayton was open on the play but chalk that int to timing and not working with the receivers.

Romo has a good team around him so this will not be as hard as it seems. He has tools and weapons around him. But I love his ability to make plays. The pass to Witten was good and the pass to Fasono. A touchdown to T.O. and a pass to Glenn.

Parcells will settle him down but with his ability to run...get your popcorn ready. Romo is about to put on a show!

 

[Dale]

I really think there's a lot to like about him. Personally, I thought he was just another undrafted scrub when we signed him. But he's steadily progressed and developed a nice skillset to complement his smarts and seeming solid understanding of the position.

What I want to see is how he'll do against defenses geared solely to stop him. How he will respond when teams know his tendencies? Will he progress from the mistake-prone player we saw last night...or is that basically the QB he always will be (not saying he'll never improve, but I mean that Favre-ish quality where he'll just chuck it up at times)?

If he can respond positively to those questions, I actually think he has a good chance to be a competent player. How quickly he'll get there -- if ever -- I have no clue.

 

[TwoSteppinJJ]

Great evaluations.

Romo was reading the defense very quickly. Made some really nice pre-snap reads and adjustments you could see that audibled a few pass plays at the line and they worked out well.

I think a good weeks work of preparation will do wonders for him and not make him feel like he is being thrown to the dogs. I mean he was moving the ball all throughout the 2nd half with basically NO RUNNING game at all which is a very tough thing to do in the NFL. And the people who cant see the skill that RomoZilla possesses are just stupid when it comes to football.

Romo actually utilized the Witten and Witten came away with his season high in receiving yards thanks to Romo reading the defense and threading the needle.

Keep in mind that ALL of the mistakes he made ARE correctable...

 

[purgatoryruss]

every time Romo screwed up(other than the first pass), he was driving the field. each bad decision came after he had moved into "points territory". Eliminate the brain farts and he can move the ball. Also didn't seem to me he was keyed in on only Glenn and TO. All of a sudden it made me remember that we have a pro bowl tight end on this team. :starspin

 

[MarionBarberThe4th]

Hes clearly got an arm and has a certain charisma to him. But can he make the reads?

Thats my only question really. And we wont really find out for a while. Hes going to have some ugly moments the next few weeks

- And the avergae QB can throw an average of 60 yards.
The strongest arm may get you 75ish

 

[DallasDomination]

Look at my Sig..that's my evaluation.

 

[cowboys19]

Romo showed alot of promise, he also showed alot of rookie mistakes.

Hopefully in the next few weeks he can cut down on those and we will have ourselves a fine QB

 

[TtownCowboy]

The negatives: choaked on a few plays. First play bootleg should not have been thrown. He needs to eat that one and get a couple yards running.

I think most vet QBs would've thrown that pass. To me it was more Strahan making a great play for the deflection and the Backer getting a gift.

I seen the same thing during the game, after the replay had been shown. The throw was still horrible, but as someone said in this thread those things can be corrected. I'm usually a see to believe guy, but I have a good feeling about him (in the future). Thats all we can really ask for. If he takes us to the playoffs, well that is just icing on the cake.

 

[LittleBoyBlue]

Yes he did.

NOW I think we will see more of a BP conservative type play from the QB. He has to be able to control and reduce that impulse play. The X factor in this is... Romo can play conservative and hopefully TO, TG and Witten can play outside the Romo box and lift this team

Yeah, it's amazing what happens when we have a Qb who tries to include other players on offense not named Glenn.

I'm not taking anything away from Glenn because he's been outstanding since he's been here.. but with that being said had it not been for Bledsoe locking onto Glenn every chance he got and actually decided to survey the field and look at all available options then he wouldn't be in this mess in the first place.. then again he wouldn't be Bledsoe either.

Let the Romo era begin!

 

[Joe_Fan]

Yes, but do keep in mind that we had a 14-year veteran also making a lot of rookie mistakes also.

If those types of mistakes are going to happen I'd much rather it be due to inexperience than seeing those same mistakes coming from a veteran who should know better.

That's true. We won't truly find out about him until after a couple of weeks. But I did like the pass he made to Witten for the first down. He scanned the field and found Witten between the zone.

Meanwhile on that very same play Bledsoe would have kept patting the ball and have thrown an INT in the direction of Glenn or have been sacked for an 8+ yard loss.

There were multiple plays that Romo made last night which I told my dad, 'Bledsoe would've been sacked on that play'.

Romo continued to make plays even when they weren't there, even when he was being pressured.

I agree with you and ROMO was just trying to make something happen......like FARVE.....I like it!
