I've never understood the cigar smoking on a golf course. Then again, I'm not a smoker.

Nobody has to say it. People who crash on others for the slightest suggestion of Romo needing to be better show it.
And you can't tell me they don't exist because they do. Just as there are those who criticize Romo for petty things, there are those who will go to any length to protect Tony. Both are equally ridiculous.
Do they think he is "perfect" in the literal meaning of the word? Of course not. It doesn't exist in sports. No athlete has ever been or ever will be "perfect".
You know that. And you know that I didn't use the word perfect in it's literal meaning of the word.
If you want to fixate on that as some sort of ad hominem argument to debunk the rest of that post, have at it. Its all yours.
What I said and have said is still valid. Tony needs to reduce turnovers maintain his early season play throughout the entire year.

I'm trying really hard to watch these last couple of holes.
But this is like watching paint dry.

These debates go much more smoothly when you actually say what you mean. If you meant 'perfect' in it's non-literal sense, then forgive the rest of us for being confused because we have no earthly idea of what that might mean. I mean that sincerely. When you say there a posters who think Tony Romo is perfect, but not literally perfect, I don't understand what you're trying to say.
I know I'm personally on record in several threads regarding legitimate ways in which his game can and should be improved. I suspect I'm in the group you're referring to? If I'm not, why not come out and name somebody, anybody you consider unreservedly pro-Romo. I'm willing to bet anybody you name is either on record being critical of elements of his game or is willing and able to go on record with legitimate football-related criticism. Yes, he needs to cut down on low-percentage impulse plays and turnovers.
It's very hard to address whatever problems you have with his play in December if you can't get more specific about what he needs to change. He's not a choker. He gets his teams in position to win games, even in December. What exactly is it that you're seeing that's different about his game later in the season? Is he taking more chances? Making bad reads all of a sudden? Not releasing the ball quickly enough? Does he wear down due to injury or conditioning?
Personally, I honestly don't understand why the team doesn't play as well late in the season. Last year, I think it probably had something to do with scheduling, but the trend has been going on for years. I don't see anything in Tony's play on the field that leads me to believe the problem is QB play, though. In particular, I think he played well enough in both playoff losses to win the game. Particularly in '07.

So your whole idea is to be the exact opposite of those who over the top in Romo support and that balances something out?Hoofbite;2847109 said:
I'm sorry this is all a load of crap. You're the one who threw out the ad hominem with the "he isn't perfect" as if someone else is. Then you want to turn it around like you meant nothing at all by it. That's utter nonsense.
No, the guy is not perfect. No one is. The idea that he is a bad QB is loaded with a lot of moronic nonsense and people are sick of the moronic nonsense so they lash out. It's really just that simple.

Rhoden wins eighth American Century Championship
Tahoe, NV (Sports Network) - Rick Rhoden, a former major league pitcher, won the American Century Championship on Sunday for his eighth title at this premiere celebrity event.
Rhoden collected 18 points on Sunday and won the championship with a total of 74 points at Edgewood Tahoe Golf Club.
Under the modified Stableford scoring system, players are awarded 10 points for a double-eagle, eight points for a hole-in-one, six points for an eagle, three points for a birdie, one point for a par and zero points for a bogey. Two points are subtracted for each score of double-bogey or worse.
Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo took second after 22 points on Sunday gave him 71 for the tournament.
Former NFL quarterback Billy Joe Tolliver and Dan Quinn shared third place with 70 points.
The championship came down to Rhoden and Quinn.
On the final hole, Rhoden held a slight edge, but both players hit terrible tee shots into the trees. Each player got back into the fairway, and Rhoden knocked his over the flag. Quinn came up short in the water, essentially handing Rhoden his eighth win.
"I did not play well today," said Rhoden, who, despite eight wins, finally successfully defended his title for the first time. "I actually was getting nervous in the end."
Jeremy Roenick netted 22 points to take fifth with 69 points.
Grant Fuhr, the Stanley Cup winning goalie, shared the overnight lead with Rhoden but managed only 11 points on Sunday. He came in sixth with 67 points.

No problem.
Tony missed a couple of makeable puts down the stretch that cost him.

I am not dogging on you Big Dakota but I wonder what a "makeable" putt is....I hear it all the time....does that mean that there are "unmakeable" putts? and who is it that determines these "makeable" or not...You put me 3 feet or more from the hole and they become a lot less "makeable"...put me outside of 15 feet and they are "unmakeable"

That was never my intention. Sorry you think it was.
My intention was to point out that there are as many Romo cheerleaders as there are those who "eat there own". Not trying to balance anything out or even the sides. I was just trying to point out that the group who sits complacent and thinks Tony is just fine the way he is and are thankful he isn't Drew Henson is just as nutty as the group who can't go two seconds without saying the guy is a loser.
They are the same. Equally ridiculous, IMO.
One side sees only the faults, the other side sees none of them.
I've never said he was a bad QB. I know you aren't accusing me of such but I want to make it clear that I have never said he was a bad QB. I've given the man his due but I have also made it clear that giving the ball away and slumping in December will not cut it.
