I haven't been on the forum for awhile now and the first thing I see Is this post.

The worst thing about this thread is that people are actually typing out serious responses.

66 million dollar man to be replaced for a QB that went 0-16 the year before.


Yep. Makes sense.

TD, I agree with you on all points but #2. Romo is one of the best in the game at throwing on the run.

Review the Giants play-off game. Fourth quarter.

Two consecutive drives Romo held the ball too long and took a sack on each. One was a second down that Romo made a brilliant recovery on a pass to Crayton on third, I believe.

The other created a second and twenty-five that ended up in a punt.

The St. Lous game and Romo's heroics seem to cause him to believe he can make a play even when reloading by throwing it out-of-bounds would be the solution.

That was what I was shooting at.

The season can't get here quick enough. What kind of crap will they come up with next?

:bang2:

 

[I LOVE ME SOME ME!]

I said it a month ago. Start Kitna in a playoff game I guarantee a win. He may not have Tonys talent but he has way more heart than that clown has.

This makes the what would we have done if we still had our first round pick threads look like rocket science.

In a blog post on the Dallas Morning News site, there's an interesting article about how Bengals' QB Carson Palmer was praising his former mentor - and current Cowboys' backup QB - Jon Kitna. Palmer went on about how Kitna has a lot to teach starter Tony Romo and that Romo should listen to him. It was a nice, respectful comment by Palmer. Good for him.

But I thought the key line was right here:

Jon Kitna's arm strength is the most obvious reason he's a significant upgrade for the Cowboys at backup quarterback. Unlike Brad Johnson, Kitna can still put plenty of zip on his passes.

True, but the guy is missing the point. Let me rewrite that paragraph:

Jon Kitna's experience is the most obvious reason he's an upgrade for the Cowboys at starting quarterback. Unlike Tony Romo, Kitna can still complete plenty of passes to receivers that nobody has heard of.

And that's what it all comes down to. This year Tony Romo doesn't have Terrell Owens. He has Roy Williams and Patrick Crayton and Miles Austin. Yeah, Miles Austin, he'll get the job done. How will Romo do with that group? My bet is not that well. How would Jon Kitna do? Well, he has experience with Roy Williams and he helped make a bunch of unknowns (guys like Shaun McDonald and Mike Furrey) into legitimate fantasy stars. Kitna put up massive numbers with less talent than they have in Dallas. MIUCH less talent.

Which brings me to my real point -- I don't know if starting Kitna would win the Cowboys any more games, but it would sure be better for fantasy football players. Give Jon Kitna a solid running game, a good offensive line and Roy Williams, and he'll throw for 4000 yards. I'm sure of it. Give Tony Romo the same things, and he throws for 15-20% fewer yards.

This might seem mercenary to Cowboy fans, but I don't care. I want to see great fantasy production out of the Dallas passing offense and I think Jon Kitna is the one to deliver it. Do it Dallas, bench Romo and start Kitna. You won't regret it.

Well, I won't regret it.

This seems like the most ridiculous thing any of us have ever heard....Now do me a favor and save this post until December. It is then that we will know if Tony Romo is the real deal. I am willing to give him one more December. If he decides to play the way he has in the past then He** yes, bring in Kitna.

Training camp cannot start fast enough.

 

[DallasDomination]

This is what I think...IF Romo starts playing bad early on I wouldnt mind a benching just to prove a point. Just like Mcnabb, Put his *** on the bench so he can get his ducks in a row.

Exactly.

 

[Zaxor]

The OP was just plain stupid...

and those that want Tony to throw a perfect pass while dodging defenders, providing leadership to his teammates with a hug and/or a slap and instructing them on how it was suppose to be done while catching the snap that was shotgunned over his head before the snap count, in between breaths telling his HC that we should go for it on 4th down while pointing out the weakside and middle LB and instructing Roy Williams where to line up...
Well I wonder if you would like him to shine your shoes while he is at it.
