Resident troll is quite harsh,, he is a die hard, just with a different perspective is all.So as not to allow our resident troll to derail the thread in his direction further:
Here are some more interesting factoids or memories about Romo:
- He was once clocked as having the NFL's fastest QB release time, releasing the ball on a pass in an average of 0.33 seconds.
- Only three times in Cowboys history has a Dallas quarterback thrown five touchdown passes in a game. Aikman in 1999, and Romo in 2006 and 2013.
- Unforgettable play: Romo converting a 4th-and-goal from the Commanders 10-yard line by throwing a TD to DeMarco Murray......(and how he played much of the fourth quarter with an injured spine to begin with); led Dallas to 24-23 win over Washington on the road.
- Only quarterback in Cowboys history to throw for over 500 yards in one game.
- Romo dodging multiple Falcons defenders to loft that TD pass to Crayton with mere seconds remaining (and no timeouts) against Atlanta in 2009, to give Dallas a 17-7 halftime lead.
I loved Romo but gotta put Elway and Cunningham way ahead of Romo; especially in their prime. And that is just off the top of my head.Tony, for better or worse (usually for better), was probably the second most exciting QB I've ever seen play the game. First being Vick.
dak hasn't taken the cowboys any farther in the playoffs than tony did lets start bragging when he like his coach figures out how to win a divisional playoff gameRomo never passed for 300+ yards or more than 2 TDs during the playoffs. Dak did both during his first playoff game as a rookie and brought the team back from being 18 points down halfway through the 2nd quarter to only tie the game at 31 points with only 39 seconds left in regulation.
But, yes, let's rather have the injury-plagued turnover machine who never accomplished in the playoffs what Dak did as a rookie?
He would've killed it with Zeke and this offensive line.
Ill never forgive this organization for not giving him his starting position back.
Very well could've cost them a super bowl.
He was totally healthy and ready to rock.
Tony was exciting to watch. There are no qualms about that.It's a shame this man didn't get to play in a Super bowl . He was good enough. Always a Brides maid....never a bride. Oh well, his life is still charmed.
He reminded me of Fran Tarkenton initially.
His history tells us that he only threw two playoff interceptions, so I think you’re confusing his history with you playing Madden while under the influence of your meds.Tony was exciting to watch. There are no qualms about that.
But I have to believe in a tight Super Bowl game that Tony would have made an inexplicable boneheaded throw to crush the Cowboys. I think the game would have been too big for him. His history tells us that.
Tony had some bad luck. I don't believe a whole lot in luck, but Tony's skill set isn't what kept us from winning in the playoffs. A bad snap. A muffed hold. A poor block. A bad call. The ball just didn't bounce right. I think if you could run every game over again...same players and same coaches...we win more of those same playoff games. The random flip of the coin marred an otherwise brilliant career.. IMOHis history tells us that he only threw two playoff interceptions, so I think you’re confusing his history with you playing Madden while under the influence of your meds.
No not really. I don’t play video games and the only meds I take is for heartburn. Not bad for a 60 year old sport.His history tells us that he only threw two playoff interceptions, so I think you’re confusing his history with you playing Madden while under the influence of your meds.
Any player is one hit away from a broken rib.Until the next hit & another broken rib. No thanks.

The haze from your meds is clearly affecting your memory. It was 4th and 11, the Cowboys sent out 3 WRs and there was no one open. I’m sure if he would have just thrown it away that would have been a smart play wouldn’t it? 4th and 11 is hard to convert for a reason.No not really. I don’t play video games and the only meds I take is for heartburn. Not bad for a 60 year old sport.
Now back to Tony...who you still aren’t over obviously. I’ll give you an example of one of those throws. The 2007 playoff game against the Giants when he threw his last pass of that game into THREE defenders trying to hit tiny receiver Terry Glenn. It was boneheaded. How can anyone not watching that think the same thing.

Also there's a new rule that a defensive player can't fall on the QB with the full weight of his body.Until the next hit & another broken rib. No thanks.
Romo didn't lose that game. Patrick Crayton lost that game.No not really. I don’t play video games and the only meds I take is for heartburn. Not bad for a 60 year old sport.
