How great was Romo?

[Aikmaniac]

This thread is pretty toxic. Can't believe how underappreciated Tony Romo is/was.

Danny should be in the ROH but Tony deserves it too.

I’m not sure I’d put either in but Jerry will put Romo in.

I’d argue it’s more probable we’d be 3-0 with Romo.

I'd argue it is more probable Romo doesn't last 3 games.

I understand but if he was standing.

You continue to want to redirect our issues and concerns we are having to others?

I have no idea what the Vikings issues are?

Do they have a 30th ranked offense and only 1 offensive play over 20 yards averaging 13.5 points a game. If so, they have some serious issues too.

No redirecting at all - it about it being only 3 games in and way more than enough time for the team to get where we and they want to go. Whether they ultimately do that is unknown. Certainly if the first 3 games are the norm from here on out, we'll be picking in the top 10 next April, maybe top 5.

The comparison is if the Vikings play like they did from here on out, they won't either. No, they don't have a 30th ranked defense, but they have a top 5 defense that has not played top 5 yet.

We need a QB who is at least as prolific passer as Romo. This is the NFL.

History has proven its more likely that good teams can overcome slow starts.

Are you only evaluating the Romo era under Wade?

That’s the only era with Wade..

 

[Diehardblues]

That’s the only era with Wade..

You’ve lost me. I thought we were discussing entire Romo era?

 

[Aviano90]

I understand but if he was standing.

If he were standing we wouldn't be having this debate. The only reason Dak is the QB is because the team no longer had confidence Romo could stand very long and were no longer willing to gamble millions of dollars to find out. I think they made the right choice and I don't care if they go 0-16. That at least allows us to draft a new QB.

The greatness of Aaron Rodgers, Drew Brees, Steve Young, Brett Favre was not determined by their lone Super Bowl win in all of the combined 56 years of football they played. The one win by Peyton Manning in his prime years did not determine his greatness either. All their wins prove is that in all the years that they played, it only came together for their team in 1 of those years and just gives credence to the fact that no matter how well you play football, you might just not win the Super Bowl in your career.

It shows that even if you are great QB, you may only have a 7-8% chance of winning the Super Bowl in your career!

Was the decision solely based on Romo’s injury or because after the Winning Wave we thought we had our new franchise Qb?

Ok, that's a reasonable position. More probable, yes, but absolutely, no.

I think it was both and was a solid decision at the time. Hindsight says Dak has sucked, but the team doesn't have the luxury of hindsight. If they did, we could argue the team should have moved on from Romo instead of resigning him.

On another team Romo would be a Super Bowl winning QB

Garrett owes his career as a coach to Romo.

His entire career.....

You have not been on this board for the last 10 years have you?

 

[JustChip]

History has proven its more likely that good teams can overcome slow starts.

But you only know what is a good team and what is not a good team over time. This team does not look good right now. Whether they are or will become one will be identified over the next few weeks.

Why is it toxic. There is very little Romo bashing going on. Very little. You have a group of fans who think very highly of Romo and a group of fans who think he is being overrated by the fan base. It's not a discussion of Romo is great vs. Romo sucks.

Have you seen the roughing the passer penalties this year? Oh, thats right, they never applied to Romo!
