Disappointed with Parnell

[Direwolf63]

Im not saying it indicates how good or how bad the OL is. What i am saying is people need to stop saying if Romo had this superior OL he would have time to throw or come up with other silly things. Romo doesnt need a superior OL. He can make things happen with his feet and his ability to know when to get the ball out. He's that type of QB. Now if people want to say the RB wont produce until this OL is seriously upgraded. I can buy that. But when people start saying that Romo production is based on the OL I roll my eyes at them kinds of posts. His stats say the total opposite.

Romo also led the league in interceptions with 19, I believe. Not all of those were the o-line fault, but some of them definitely were. If Romo isn't running for his life, he will maintain the positive production and turn the ball over less. That's what this team needs, along with the running game.

And how many cracked ribs does Romo have to have before people realize he needs to be protected better by the o-line? Add in the broken thumb and the collar bone as well. He needs to be protected better....bottom line.

Maybe they could have paid Tony a little less and bought a free agent OL or two to make his last few years here a little more worthwhile - for both him and the team.

If maybe Romo could reduce them throws that make us all shake our heads a little. It would make me alot happier. W

Umm didnt Brees have 19 too? 12 of Romos INTs came in 3 games. So the stats dont really tell the whole story. so 7 ints in in the other 13 games.

I still think Parnell could be a solid swing tackle this year but I have never believed he could replace Free in the starting lineup. As bad as Free was last year, I can see Parnell being more inconsistent if he were a regular starter.

Maybe he can develop into a quality RT but he would need to beat out Free to get the playing time. I don't see it happening.

It's not that big of a deal.

Especially when you spend your early years practicing as a swing tackle at both positions.

Free is just a crappy player and it's a joke we weren't serious about upgrading that position.

He's definitely not a crappy player. And it's good they're not starting a rookie in his place. Ya can't just toss players to the side that you developed. He's proven he can play so you have to go with him to at least start the season. If he's still stinkin it up between wk 1 and wk6 he can be benched.

Useless statistic - he was #3 in the league in passes attempted. He's middle of the pack in INT per attempt.

He.was 2 point something per attempt which was not his career worse but a little subpar. Brady does well there. And not all INTs are created equal. Romo needs to be 1.1-2 to 1.5-7.
