DMN: Jason Witten says Dallas Cowboys QB Tony Romo is throwing passes with ‘same zip’

dmq · Apr 30, 2014

What about the long ball? That is where Romo really struggled.

Its rather easily seen when a QB does not have the zip he once had. Don't need covered receivers or anything like that. Anyone with two eyes and familiar with his past ability can tell. We are not talking rocket science here.

Bullflop said:
Nobody suggested it was rocket science. What I tried to impart is that it remains to be seen if his back will hold up or if Witten is simply giving him a better opinion than will prove to be the case. His best friend isn't likely to say he's lost a little something, is he? Romo's condition won't be completely obvious until he's gone through a complete season without a repeat of his back problems. Throwing under relaxed conditions and throwing in games are two different things. You're right, it isn't rocket science -- it's more like common sense.

so what is the point about covered receivers? None.

It's the preseason. Everyone's in "the best shape of my life". Everyone's been doing yoga/karate/dance/sumo and it's really improved their footwork/hand use/timing/hairstyle. Everyone's new teammate is a great fit in the locker room and an All-Pro in the making. Everyone's old teammate looks stronger/faster/more mature than they ever have.

It means nothing.

Jason Witten is his best friend right? So he's never going to say anything bad about Tony.

I'm sure though if there was a problem someone else would say so with all the people probably watching him.

Did you hear Witten say this last year?

Witten's response could easily have been something like 'he's working out the kinks still, but we're confident he'll be ready', but it wasn't. It was 'he's as good as ever'. I'll take that as a positive.

“I think just the will that guy has — it’s at the top of the list of the players I’ve seen. Like I said, we know what people are going to say. But I think for us and for him it’s just go out there and get better and kind of perfect that craft so when you get to the chance, you take advantage of those opportunities. He looks good.”

Red flag. Who are you trying to convince Jason?

This is why we can't have nice things round here.

I don't know what he said last year. Why?

Jason Witten is someone who speaks, but no one believes what he has to say simply because he's friends with enormously fat quarterback.

He didn't say anything. That's the point.

Perhaps because Tony didn't have back surgery the prior season.

He's his best friend. He's not going to say anything to rock the boat. And as I said I am sure with all the other people watching Tony if there was anything wrong with him it'd be reported.

I have never seen that but just read about it. It's kind of sad & funny at the same time.

It means that he's throwing with some velocity whether his best friend said it or not and we can all agree that's a good thing. It also means snarky remarks will always be challenged with some simple common sense and optimism about our QBs future.

So...it means something.

Yeah, it pisses off Zordon and some of the other haters to hear good news about Romo. Pretty damn sad for a supposed Cowboy fan to feel that way! smh

I'm not worried about his back either. Moder medicine is amazing and his back surgery was not all that serious either.
