DMN: Roger Staubach: Cowboys are 'lucky' to have a 'championship' QB like Tony Romo

[DFWJC]

I never got to see Roger play, but I saw Aikman. For Roger to say he hasnt felt like that since Aikman is such an insult to Aikman more than it is a compliment to Romo.

Okay. Im DONE with Romo topics.... until tomorrow. :

GD hittin the bottle today! Go girl!

He said except for Aikman.

Yes because it is so clear that our OL is pretty much the same as the Tuine, Newton, Stepknoski, Gogan and Eric Williams.

If it where not for the names on the back of the jersey you could not tell the differance between that group and our OL in recent years.

 

[Gameover]

I was once a Romo apologist.

Up until Jan 2012 I thought he was a top 5 QB.

I thought Eli Manning couldn't carry Romo's jock.I thought Eli had gotten lucky in 2007.

I so badly wanted Romo to shove it down Eli's throat on that last game of the 2011 season.I wanted Romo to stick it to Gary Myers and the rest of the New York media who had written all week leading into the game that Romo was nothing but empty stats.

Then Romo took the field that night at Giants Stadium with that petrified look.

Then it was the Dez overthrow of a sure TD on the 3rd down.

Then it was the beyond the line of scrimmage penalty on a play were Romo had nothing but daylight in front him.Didn't he know this?Didn't he know not to attempt a pass at that point?

Then I watched Eli Manning show us all what a big time QB looks like under pressure situations.

That's when I knew that Tony Romo didn't have what it takes, and I was foolish to think that Romo was in Eli's league.

Well, even with the way the oline has been the past several years that Romo has played, Aikman would still have won two SB's.

Probably 3 SB wins in only 2 seasons!

Yeah when that line was not blocking well Troy was getting concussions not winning. When Emmitt came and the OL came together Troy and the Dallas Cowboys found the success. Troy was a big part but a number of other things happening is what allowed the team and the individual accolades to happen.

Pretty much. Pressure situations like the Commanders game separates the good ones from the great ones.

So you think inserting Eli into the Dallas lineup on that final drive vs Washington with no run game, no blocking, no Dez , no Miles, no Harris...would have led to a Cowboy win?

I don't think so.

So now you are making excuses that Romo needs an oline that can block and a running back that can endure a whole season?

Just stop.

I'm not so sure about that. I actually think that Eli could have taken this team to the SB last year. The guy has not just one, but two SB's. His teammates had nothing to do with any of those wins...Eli is that great.

 

[Rockport]

Brady is also the most accurate, quickest release QB in the league. He beats the blitz by hitting his targets before the blitz gets there. That's how QBs used to do it and that's how certain QBs, like Brady and like Manning still do it. You can say that he doesn't have the mobility all day but he's not had mobility from the day he stepped into the league up to and including today. New England didn't always have the best OLs but because he can beat the blitz with accuracy and his release, he makes his OL better. That same thing would happen in Dallas and our Offense would be designed to help him do this. I'm sorry, all of what you just said is fine but I don't buy any of it. I've watched Brady a lot and what he can do is not simply because he has OLs who can block all day. He makes them better.

I'm not sure what games you've been watching, but teams do not need to blitz Romo. The normal 4 man rush is in the backfield about step 4 of Romo's drop back. And Romo has one of the quickest releases of all QB's. New England has ALWAYS had a good offensive line during Brady's years. Belicheck knows that you don't win being weak in the trenches.

 

[Rockport]

Believe or not Romo also has a quick release and there are articals on this. Romo is getting a lot of pressure up the middle and off the edge Brady does not. Hell Pitt and Balt complained they get flagged when they get close to Brady, Romo gets the crap kicked out of him no flag no roughing calls yet broken ribs, collar bone and a host of other big hits.

We sure as hell do not get the turnovers putting the ball back into the hands of the offense like NE does and again we have a 31st ranked rushing and 27 in rushing TD while Brady team is 1st in rushing TD those factors make a differance. I know people will say running has no bearing on winning? BS it does and most of the playoff teams from lat year should prove it since the majority of them had good running games and ranked in the top 11.

As important as passing is running still plays a part if it didn't teams would not run as often as they do.

Dallas is not giving Romo protection that is fact anyone watching knows it, we can't run anyone watching should no this, we can't run when we are in the redzone it falls to Romo, Brady is not being forced to do it not when his team leads the damn NFL in that area.

Hell getting the snap in romo hand out of the shot gun has been a crap shoot at times.


Sorry I think it is BS how Dallas fans have treated Romo I'm sick of it, I don't think people have a clue as to what is put on Romo and that is why Rodger, Danny and Troy have all commented on Romo and what Romo is dealing with.

What's so frustrating to Staubach, Aikman and the rest of us who think Romo is more than capable of leading this team to a championship is his talents are so obvious. The national media hates on the Cowboys and Romo in particular, and those here who get their opinions from them take the bait hook line and sinker. The Romo haters don't believe that his mistakes are mostly due to a horrible offensive line and lack of a running game. They feel that he should always be perfect. They show their lack of knowledge when spouting this nonsense. The ignorance is frustrating and laughable at the same time as they indict themselves.

This a good post, and I agree with everything you typed.

I'm not so sure if it's just "ignorance", I think that they have to many "expectations" out of Romo because they have not played organized sports and tend to have differing viewpoints about the concept. Football is not one man tennis or golf.

The media doesn't help either when it come to forming an opinion. But, in the end, it's all hearsay because none of us can tell what this team or Romo will or will not do this season.

But, we have Cowboy fans that have already given up on the team. What is up with that!

Because of Romo, it seems. 8 - 8. Count em! You and the rest of civilized world knows Romo has not won a SB. And according to the fans that have lost their belief he never will. What?

A one trick pony...they have no belief in the team or Romo, but if he does win something? Guess who gets to sit at the dinner table?

The Cowboys are not a one man show.

 

[Pessimist_cowboy]

we still win 3 superbowls in 4 years with romo instead of aikman in the 90s . Maybe even more . With that great OL and running game and dominant defense . We'd be scary .

This makes no sense at all!

(stupid cowboy fans)

Don't tell that to the one's that cannot understand.

Possibly, but I'm not sure.

 

[DMAC]

Get him a functional offensive line, a defense that can contain the read-option and a coach that doesn't blunder away close games and, yeah, he can win a championship.

So could any other NFL QB given the above conditions.

R u kidding?

In that first NFC Championship game in SF no way Romo hits Harper for that big play.

And in SBXXX it would have been Romo, instead of Neil O'Donnell throwing all those pic's.

 

[TellerMorrow34]

Just stop.

I don't know if that's what Romo has to have but I'll say this...how often did Troy and the Boys win without Emmitt?

Lucky for them they didn't have to find out too often because the anwer is they didn't win without Emmitt and that running game.

 

[SportsGuru80]

Romo isn't the reason why we haven't won a championship...
