Flacco > Romo?

I can't hold em back much longer Capn!

"Kirk, my old friend. I'll do more than just kill you. I will take Romo away
and leave you with Flacco... alone on a dead planet... buried alive... buried alive..."​

Flacco protects the ball, but if you look at his stats they are far from extraordinary.
Besides, Baltimore has a solid Running game, that takes loads of pressure form Flacco.
He's performed well when he needed to, but he hasn't done much past that.

Tony has a turnover problem, but it's partly due to an overrated Offensive line. BIGG and Gurode are really the only solid linemen, Flo commits way too many penalties and is getting old, LG is an issue (We need a solid lineman at the spot), and Colombo is alright, but he's not outstanding.

On top of that, they look way better than they are due to Tony's ability to play outside of the pocket.

All these Quaterback>Romo are stupid to say the least.
Romo is a top 5 quaterback, what else do you want?

Maybe we can teach them by taking a different tact:

Even if we acquired Flacco, he would be largely worthless to us if he came without Baltimore's defense.

And conversely, Baltimore's defense wouldn't win as many games if Tony were their QB and turned the ball over like he did this year.

I don't want to be construed as a Tony hater, because I'm not. But he HAS to get it through his head that you must protect the football, or you're going to lose the game. It's just about that simple.

too much hate going on for the new Joe Cool.

I agree with this.

Unquestionably, Tony needs to protect the football better; however, his play calling exposes him to situations in which he's more likely to turn over the ball. If Flacco played in Romo's offense, I guarantee he would have as many if not more turnovers than Romo.

Flacco would have fallen victim to more sacks here than Romo actually did. While Romo did attempt to stay moreso within collapsing pockets this season, he did avoid several sacks with his signature awareness and scrambling ability when the pressure was too great. I doubt that Flacco would have been as lucky.

I agree with that, too. We definitely need to run the ball more and take a little of the load off Tony's shoulders. But he also has to make consistently sound decisions when he does drop back to throw.

it seemed that almost every play against Baltimore, Romo would have to immediately run away from a defender who was coming free.

That's no joke. Baltimore's defensive coordinator had practically every play Dallas was going to run virtually dead-to-rights. I wish that could be blamed on ESP, but it can't. We weren't fooling them at all. For me, that loss was even harder to accept than the Eagles loss.

I don't see a lot of fooling in the playoffs, I know exactly what Balt is going to do same with Pitt, Philly and Arz. it comes down to executing the plays and being aware of the situation as in down and distance. Winning teams are not out fooling the other they are going out and preforming and executing the play, not running wrong routs or not knowing where to line up

 

[Switz]

You can say all you want about flacko being a game manager...
and think how Romo is better but you are fooling yourself.

1. He is not a turnover machine.

2. Romo does not manage the game as well if you wish to make the game manger comment.

3. Flacko is 2-0 in the playoffs after playing college ball at a D 1AA school JUST LAST SEASON. Romo is 0-2 enough said.

many called Big bum a game manager and that is he not. both are playing sunday for a shot to go to the superbowl...

If game managers play for conferance championship game and one will play on superbowl sunday I want a game manager as my QB.

Maybe I should have stated instead that we were fooling ourselves by poorly executing the offense that we would beat the Ravens.

Question: In your opinion, whose offensive line was better in '08? Romo's or Flacco's?

Ravens are 2-0 in the playoffs in case you missed it a lot of guys are going out and performing. Raven are creating turnovers right and left and winning close games. Flacco has 12 ints during the season Romo 14 . Flacco has 11 fumbles on the season Romo 13. I like Flacco but I also know what is being asked of him and what Dallas is asking from Romo

I would agree. When you are backing yourself up taking positive plays and making them a negative because you got guys jumping offside or holding. I will agree with anyone who says Romo has to do a better job of protecting the ball but by the same token our offensive line has to do a better job of protecting Romo as well and they must stop the stupid penalties that put us in bad situations that help lead to turnovers. I know the mindset of some seems to be QB is all that counts when it comes to winning or losing that is so far from reality the reason you win is because your team goes out and is executing and makes the plays not the QB alone.

 

[Switz]

Ravens are 2-0 in the playoffs in case you missed it a lot of guys are going out and performing.

and the most important postion on the field is QB and "drives the bus" maybe QB get too much credit when teams win or when they lose either way Flacko is 2-0 as starter.

and our D was lacking ints this season I will give you that... what was the cowboys over all d ranking this season?

Flacco has 12 ints during the season Romo 14 . Flacco has 11 fumbles on the season Romo 13.

Romo missed what 4 games so with out question his numbers would have been higher also look and see how many turnover Romo had that got turned into points then look and see how many Joe had... its not just how many ints its at what ppoint of the game they happen and how mnay points they cost you. IE look that the cowboys steeler game Tony cost us 10 points on 4 turnovers.

I like Flacco but I also know what is being asked of him and what Dallas is asking from Romo

maybe we need to ask Romo just to manage the game.. we might actually win a playoff game.

Flacko 2-0 in playoffs in one season

Cowboys since 1998 ZERO playoff wins.

Flacco is not being asked to carry the load, hell Ravens will just as soon run the ball on 3rd and 10 punt and allow the defense to get the ball back. I have nothing aginst the guy and think he will continue to improve as a QB but Ravens are built on running and defense and it is not Flacco putting them in the playoffs it is the Ravens football team something you can't seem to figure out it is not all about the QB when it comes to winning it is about the best football team
