News: DMN: Tony Romo: 'I'm throwing the ball as well as I ever have'

[xvendettax914]

The annual "I'm throwing It better that I ever have" quote.

I missed you.

Except that's not the quote.

 

[QT]

Until a 300lb DL falls on him....

 

[PA Cowboy Fan]

He does this every year so us fans will stop worrying. Never helps.

I doubt it but I hope he is feeling good enough to make "Romo Wednesdays" a thing of the past.

 

[xvendettax914]

Some of these comments make me wonder if some of you actually read the article.

 

[noshame]

.......flag a late hit on Romo?

True,. Very true

 

[chagus]

The good news is his new RB is a great pass protector.

Not on Zeke's watch.

Agreed. Its one of the main reasons dallas pulled the trigger draft day.

Given our backup QB situation I would be in favor of continuing Romo Wednesdays.

I just hate the fact that he gets in a routine and if something happens that makes him stray from that routine (Thanksgiving), he looks like an old, declined version of Romo. I want him to be healthy enough where he doesn't need the special treatment to preserve his body. I don't expect him to be taking hits in practice, he never does. The injury risk for a QB in practice is pretty minimal, it is just about conservation with him and nursing injuries. Hopefully his back feels good enough after hardly playing football last season to limit any extra precautions.

I am not worried about him either way but a Romo that is healthy enough to be on the field for practice with his team is a good thing for everyone.

For me the continuation of Romo Wednesdays has nothing to do with Romo and everything to do with getting our backup QB's starter reps.

Never helps but he's been right for the most part. He said the same things in 2014.

I thought I read on this board that Romo had no back issues still being dealt with? Clavicle, clavicle, etc. Sounds like the short passing game w/very limited deep shots (2014), which is fine if it keeps our boy upright. He had an insane 3rd down QBR that year but the O was also dead last in passing attempts above 30 YDs; still think he can work this O at a high level, even w/the back to an extent. (Drawing a blank on whether I was schooled by JTerrell or Percy on these facts, so giving cred, etc.)

He can still get it deep, just not on the regular anymore which limits the PA opps for big yardage plays. I'm hoping Zeke becomes the new flat outlet for him over Witten as this will help in RAC yardage and utilizes the team's talent more so. Of course he has to play all season to support our playoff hopes

Does it really matter??? while Doug Free continues to give free close ups to Tony's chin?

Over/under on how many weeks before Free gets Romo knocked out again...

I'll start w/ week 6...and i'll take the under. If the OTAs are any telling sign...Free's off season foot surgery did him no favors. Still getting walked right back into TR's lap

"This is probably the worst I've ever thrown during a minicamp. The fans should probably save their money instead of going to games because i've also seemed to have lost a step or two. The news from my eye doctor isn't very encouraging either. And is it just me or have defensive players literally doubled in size over the past couple years? Okay which one of you trainers are in charge of my Happy Pills?"


Has honesty ever been inspiring? I prefer hope no matter how improbable.

and 2015.

 

[Section446]

Every year...

and 2015.

Well....to his credit he was 3-1.........

I think they should just go ahead and give the Thanksgiving Day game to the 2QB. Give him all the weeks leading up to that game to prepare for that one game. This will give us the best situation for our 2QB that one game and a fresh Romo the following week.

 

[Bleu Star]

Everyone has a plan until they get hit. I don't doubt he has mastered his craft. That was clear in 2014. I want to know he can take a hit.

Yeah me too. But this is encouraging news.

I think he needed that routine badly--in fact his physical therapist and trainer demanded it of him.
He has now finally had a full off-season without any type of back surgery for the first time in years. No wonder he feels so good and is moving so well. I heard the other day someone say he was moving more like 2009 Tony, but with the continual upgrades to his mechanics, he may have even better results. No hiding that he's older though....father time and all.

In any case, I'd love to have the 2014 version but with a stronger core and back--so more ability to throw deep more often and move a bit better.
Also counting on the run game to keep the pressure at bay like 2014 as well.
Could be lethal!
