Hate to say it but Romo would not have survived this game playing for the Texans

Romo would not have survived this game playing for the Texans. Savage getting destroyed nearly every play. Watson surviving on wheels alone.

Maybe not but he would have fared better. Experience plays a huge part in knowing when to get rid of the ball. Savage held onto the ball too long several times and was indecisive.

Romo is significantly better avoiding pressure than most. Savage was literally stepping into sacks.

You don't realize how special Romo and Dak are until you see QBs without mobility or pocket awareness. We were blessed with a QB who had eyes in the back of his head, otherwise we probably give up 50+ sacks in 2011-2012.

They would have blamed harvey on him if he was in houston.

Still finding ways to bash Romo. Get over it he's retired. Delete this worthless thread.

Romo is a lot better than those guys at recognizing where pressure is coming from (and lots of other things) and adjusting accordjngly.

Savage was just benched. Not a biggie.

What happened to Houston's defense?

 

[remdak]

You didn't really hate to say it, did ya?

 

[Toruk_Makto]

Yeah he would have. I'm sure the announcing booth in Houston is comfortable despite Hurricane Harvey.

Why would Tony want to play for this crap team?

I love Tony, but come on. This OL is soooooo bad. It would only have been a matter of time before someone put a killshot on him.

The last 4 times Tony tried to avoid a hit he got hurt. I loved Tony, but it was time for him to go. HE IS DOING AN AMAZING job today on the call. He is where he needs to be at this point in his life... He will become the best in the business in a few years

I know it is bad but Tony would not have taken most of those sacks, he is shifty back there. I am not saying he would have been their savior but he would have made that team a real contender. Watson/Savage will not get them there.

Some want to pretend that Tony is the way he was. Don't need to see him carted off the field again.

Some people do not remember the Oline Romo played with when he first started. That said, he is older and not quite as agile and he would have never gone to Houston anyway. Denver was the only option for him.

Man I was thinking the same thing.
But I was also thinking that they are idiots for not trying to trade for him. I thought that last year and this offseason and I was more right than I knew. They don't have a QB, which in this league means you don't have a prayer.

What would be the point of trading for Romo if they don't have the OL to keep him healthy for 16+ games?

Also true. I wonder if Romo was the one not interested for that reason....

Good for Romo
