Do you have complete trust in Romo now?

[Doomsday101]

Find me where I laid the end of season blame on Romo? I'll wait.

The topic at hand is "trust". And until he stops being careless with the football, both in picks and fumbles, he won't earn my "full trust", which is what the OP was asking.

I could be a blind homer and say "Oh yeah baby, Romo all the way, he's awesome. WOOHOOO". But I won't.

Great I don't care if you trust him or when you get down to it I just think it is stupid hearing people acting like the QB it the be all in winning a SB fact is there have been less than stellar QB's who have rings why because Teams win SB not individuals trust him don't trust I could careless he is a quality QB and if people can't see that then they are blind.

As for being a homer? Give me a break Carter was never going to do jack in Dallas nor Hutchinson or many other bad QB we have I don't base my view because Romo plays in Dallas I base it on the fact the guy is a damn good QB

 

[Clove]

At some point this team needs to win playoff games for Dallas. Romo can't block and he can't catch it for others he does not play defense the failure of this team have been team failures. I agree Romo to has to elevate his play as do many

At some point, Romo has to do his part, right or wrong? So far, he hasn't. I think he can, but I can't say for sure.

I totally agree with you. Football is the ultimate team game. Marino doesn't have a ring, and Dilfer does. I've always felt the ring conversation when it comes to qb's was stuipid.

As far as Romo goes, I think he's a damn fine qb. Top 5 in the NFL if you ask me. And as far as his play in the playoff games against seattle and the Giants, I thought he did a helluva job. A bad hold cost us the seattle game, not his quarterbacking. Against the Giants, I dare anyone to find another quarterback, including Brady who played better in the face of that pass rush. You can't do it. Even Strahan said they were the toughest team they faced in the playoffs. But this is about trust. Do I trust him to lead us down the field for a game winning TD? Or do I trust him to play as close to error free ball as possible? Do I trust him to not fumble the ball? Sorry, he just hasn't earned that yet.

I guess in the end, it all comes down to what we all perceive "trust" to mean.

I don't think any have done their part as of yet. When they do they will achive what they are after.

I agree it is what we perceive as trust. I trust that Romo gives us a chance to achive a championship.

 

[JonJon]

No, he has not. Romo has to prove it in a game that really counts, such as a do or die game, in order for me to have trust in him. So far, he has not. I don't care what he does in preseason; even Drew Bledsoe looked like Joe Montana in a few preseason games. The regular season is important as well, but Romo will have to prove that he can overcome the pressure of a game with the season on the line in order to earn my trust.

He has the ability to do it, he just needs to get it done.

 

[NextGenBoys]

I believe I have finally started to have complete trust in him.I sometimes get caught in the hype of him choking.I however, then relaize he only started 2.5 years so far.I used to think before a game well he will sling and make the game competitive but he will also throw a pick or two.I think as he matures and calms the turnovers added to his wonderful ability to make a play when it breaks down, he is taking to the next level. The next level as a leader and player.Romo is about to get his annointing oil over the next few seasons.

I can honestly say that I was one of the few on this board who never lost any faith in him.

I've always been behind Romo 100%. He's not perfect, but he's our quarterback, and a damn good one.

That is exactly what I was trying to say.

 

[DallasFanSince86]

He received my complete trust when, when after turning the ball over 6 times in Buffalo in 2007, he didn't let it get to him and he still put us in a position to win that game.

Folk also got my complete trust after that game as our kicker.

 

[Monster Heel]

Ask me again Jan 1st.

Should've been the end of the thread.

You mean like the Packers game in 2007 when we had to win to secure home field advantage? A game like that? The game where Romo lit it up and beat them soundly?

Or how about the second Giants game last year when we had to win to keep our playoff hopes alive? The one where he took a horrible beating, but still managed to pass for 244 yards, 2 touchdowns, and no interceptions. You know, the game we won against the 'amazing Giants' 20-8.

People forget that Romo has won some "must win games" in his past. They only remember the ones he lost.

We're not talking about anybody, we're talking about Romo.

But I can already see this conversation is going no where, because we see 2 different things. I just wish the QB would get paid like a kicker or a LB since he's no different when it comes to blame.

Unfortunately, he is held to a higher standard, which is why he get's paid top dollar. He's paid to be the reason a team gets over the hump, yes him and him alone. Otherwise, give him chump change and lump him in with the rest.

 

[DallasDomination]

I have a good feeling about romo this year but I dont have complete trust in Him. to many stupid mistakes and commiing up short late in the season for me to jump on the wagon.

He still has to prove to everybody and Himself he can mature as a Qb and leader and win when it matters. We will see this year for sure.

 

[ThreeSportStar80]

I wouldn't say complete confidence, Romo's got to win games in December and January...

You can hold him to a higher standard all you want but this game is still about team work all parts doing their job for a QB that is damn difficult when you have WR dropping balls and DL sitting in your lap not to mention not knowing if the center is going to snap the ball when and where he should. Romo has to pick things up but to win this team has to step up around him if they don't then superman himself is not going to win game something many can't seem to fathom.

Exactly! That's why I posted some of Staubach's lousy playoff performances. If all he was judged on were those games then he wouldn't be in the HoF or the RoH.

Romo has come up big in a lot of big games, people just don't want to believe it because it goes against their agenda.

Puh-lease....This game was hardly "do or die" and the season definitely wasn't on the line.

Or how about the second Giants game last year when we had to win to keep our playoff hopes alive? The one where he took a horrible beating, but still managed to pass for 244 yards, 2 touchdowns, and no interceptions. You know, the game we won against the 'amazing Giants' 20-8.

Same season. Against the Steelers. Romo threw an interception that was returned 26 yards to give the Steelers the lead. The next drive, he went 0-4, turning the ball over on downs and ending the game. I don't even have to go into detail about the Eagles game. you can't put this one squarely on Romo as there was plenty of blame to go around, but he played a major role in that loss.

Lets go back to the playoff loss to the Giants. You can blame Crayton for giving up on the route or Glenn for fumbling the ball, but it was still Romo that threw a desperation int late in the game which sealed the teams fate.

The muffed FG snap against Seattle?

I am by no means a Romo hater; I'm glad we have him and understand how fortunate we are as a team. I just hope that he will respond better in high-pressure games and reduce costly turnovers. Until he can prove that he can handle it, he won't be trusted by me. Simple as that.

Why not have drop Romo and keep our second team QB? It won't be his fault if we fail or not.

 

[Doomsday101]

I'm not looking to point fingers there are enough around here to do that. Romo success hinges on the team as much as the team success hinges on Romo. I'm not saying the QB is meaningless but his success in large part is based on what others around him do. Montana was great yet looked bad vs the 85 Bears who beat the hell out of him and SF lost why because Montana sucked or because his line could not keep him standing up? Romo has very good talent but like any QB he needs people around him making plays he is not going to single handily win the game no one ever has.

So exactly when do you blame a person on the team?
