How many super-bowls does Tony Romo win with the 2016-2024 Cowboys?

[JustChip]

None. The 2014 was essentially the same as the 2016 team - strong running game; weak defense. If the 2014 team with Tony as QB couldn’t get the #1 seed, much less an NFCCG, why would the 2016 team? Dak’s aversion to making a mistake and his legs propelled that team. Not to mention the leadership aspect.

 

[SteveTheCowboy]

Zero. Just being 100% honest. Tony was practically equivalent to Dak. This is coming from me who wants to cut Dak, never thought we should have signed him ins 2020, or paying him even more now.
I would have preferred Minshew, or even Winston as a stop gap.

Oh really? So Tony single-handedly gives the other team 14 easy 1st half points?

This notion they are the same QB is ridiculous. Er..I mean it's a notion I can't agree with. I wouldn't even say better or worse...but not the same at all.

Results that are the same have other factors besides those two.

Zeke and Romo would have had enough to overcome a LOT of the defense.

 

[Tabascocat]

The 2016 team was tailored made for Romo. THAT was HIS window.

It's funny how some people criticize EVERY SINGLE THING Jerry does or decides...except that one.

I criticized that move too, Romo should have played the last two games heading into the playoffs. If he got injured again, Dak played enough to take over if need be.

 

[JustChip]

Zeke and Romo would have had enough to overcome a LOT of the defense.

Tony and DeMarco didn’t.

 

[sunalsorises]

This is a trick question. The correct answer is all of them.

 

[SteveTheCowboy]

Tony and DeMarco didn’t.

Zeke was better ....in 2016.

If dez manages to put the ball in the endzone, or murray doesnt carelessly fumble....things might be different.

 

[mfiggs18]

TBH both are the same quarterback to me so no change.

 

[PAPPYDOG]

That would put Tony Romo retiring at 44. How many superbowls does he win in that eight year span?

We had some really good teams in those eight years but our bus driver of a qb hasn’t capitalized!!

2 at least................shame really what that 2016 team could have done with a real QB at the helm.

 

[PA Cowboy Fan]

None.

 

[JustChip]

I was gonna say 0 because I don’t think you’ve been that close… but you’re right 2016 was a pretty stacked team, and I think you could have beaten the Falcons in the NFCCG

But changing one variable and assuming all else stays the same isn’t reality. It can’t be assumed that the team would’ve won 9 (or 10 - recollection t’ain’t what it were) games in a row, gone 13-3 and been the #1 seed. A major part of the success of that season was Dak’s legs & avoiding turnovers, neither of which would’ve been the case. Tony’s style was the antithesis of what made the 2016 team successful.

Assuming they played the Falcons, it likely would’ve been a 51-48 Broncos style shootout. That Falcons offense was cooking on all cylinders.

 

[Cowboys5217]

Zero.

Romo had ample chances including a record pro bowl team, and a 13-3 one seed. Couldn't even get to a conference title game, so what makes you think he would with Dak's team?

 

[Cowboys5217]

..as another stated, its hard to say. But I would definitely include couple of NFCCG visits.

Taken his injury history. Dak made lots of plays with his feet in playoff games.

Something Tony couldn't do. So you have to counter that.

It definitely wouldn't. Romo proved to everyone who he was.

If you're talking about a healthy Tony, then I say at least 1 and a couple of NFC championships.

 

[starfan1]

if he could remain healthy and thats a huge if possibly 1. he may have eeked out 1 of those san fran losses but the defense has been a big problem as well. Then he has to get past the AFC. I still believe that his 2014 team was better than any other team dak has had but he also had a defensive problem.

my gut leans 0 with a possibility of 1. hes a better QB than Dak. Not much but hes more cerebral

 

[MountaineerCowboy]

None.

He's a loser.

Even if he was completely healthy, probably none. The flaws on this team go far beyond quarterback. Some day this team's fans will realize that. There have been quarterbacks on Super Bowl-winning teams far worse than what we've had with Romo and Dak.

I guess since we can't hope that anything ever changes with this front office, we've got to have our scapegoats and QB is the easiest target.

How many super-bowls does Tony Romo win with the 2016-2024 Cowboys?​

One. Super Bowl LI. It would have been glorious from the 'Tony Romo would have been paralyzed' detractors' point-of-view. Just picture it...

Score tied 17-17. Ball at the opponent's 15-yard line. Four seconds left in regulation.

Travis Frederick hikes the ball. It hits Romo's seat. He bobbles but gains control of the ball. He wheels himself right. It's a blitz! Romo does a 360-degree twirl with his wheelchair on one wheel! He wheels himself left. DE has beaten Tyron Smith. Romo pops another wheelie! Blitzer flies by, arms outstretched like Kate Winslet in Titanic.

Romo raises his arm to pass. His sleeve is stuck on the wheelchair brake arm! He tosses the ball to his left hand. He throws! The ball has a slight wobble! It is a back shoulder throw to Dez Bryant in the corner of the endzone. Dez bobbled the catch. The play is reviewed. Charlotte Jones had laced Dean Blandino's drink with LSD and stuffed him inside a broom closet the previous evening. The touchdown is confirmed! Game over. Dallas wins!

Unfortunately, the victory was bittersweet. Romo didn't... he didn't make it. His entire skeleton disintegrated after releasing the ball. Candice Romo shielded her children's eyes from what was left of her husband. Romo's body was later cremated. His ashes were scattered across the 18th green at Pebble Beach. Jim Nantz was there, speaking softly from a distance.

Dak Prescott spoke at his memorial service, saying, "I was a rookie. I hope to follow Romo's example of a veteran quarterback playing for a Super Bowl and for this great franchise. No rookie quarterback has ever led a team to the Super Bowl--much less help win one. I am grateful for Romo. May his memory be forever a blessing."

Jerry Jones inducted Romo into the Dallas Cowboys Ring of Honor the next season. The crowd was a-buzz but fell silent as the tarp covering his plaque was lowered. There it was. Tony Romo's name. Tony Romo's number 9. The symbol of Tony Romo's wheelchair.

BLESS YOU, FANTASY PRETEND TONY ROMO!!!
