I don't know if Romo survives that game

[65fastback2plus2]

because I watched throw after throw missed, easy td's to Dez missed. I don't know what would have happened but Romo and dez are pretty great in the red zone and Romo is extremely accurate. Dak was confused like most young qbs will be against a good defense that is aggressive and he was throwing late.

the ~18 yarder to an open Terrence that hit the turf like 3 yards short was where I about lost it. Completely ridiculous to noodle arm that there.

I think anybody with half a brain knows Romo is the only reason those teams even made the playoffs. See last year.

It's more about the 13 years part. Romo didn't start until 2006, but there's a cast of the usual characters around here who keep charging Romo for 3 years where he didn't take a single snap. But what should we expect from people who believe in "win or go home" games?

That was a missed opportunity. I will say that throw takes tremendous timing and sync between WR and QB but yeah... definitely off there.

How would Romo have survived the qb sneak on 4th and one in OT ?? I'm betting that play never gets called if he's the QB.....

Yeah, was wondering about that being referenced as any kind of time frame. We've just got some fans that aren't smart enough to admit being wrong (see Zeke draft thread) and bitterly hang on to outdated talking points.

I assume it's common knowledge, like I assume you and other Romo haters are being intentionally obtuse when you continually say Romo has 2 playoff wins in 13 years.

I'm sorry, in 10 years. Is that more accurate?

 

[65fastback2plus2]

Romo never played as a rookie so I'm surprised you didn't mention that. By the time Romo played his first game, he was 3 years in. Now you take Dak, let him sit for 3 years and then you compare the two, but you can't. Why? Because Dak is 7 games into his FIRST START EVER and is a rookie QB.

Tony also didnt play for a big school in the SEC...theres 2 sides to that coin.

 

[Maxmadden]

I remember a few years ago that some team, I don't remember what team it was, blitzed almost every down and we were destroyed. Tony could not beat the blitz. I think Romo would have been put in a stretcher this game.

This comment is so vague.

[Rogerthat12]

I know what you mean.
But...I don't know they blitz as much and for as long if Romo was in the game.
He would have changed the plays at the line and backed them off that blitz.

They still would have blitzed Romo, especially knowing he is rusty and gimpy!

 

[FuzzyLumpkins]

Those sellout blitzes were not hard to beat and Romo wouldn't brain fart on the zone blitzes. Romo finds Dez, Beasley and co on the 1v1s. They do that to Romo and Dez has 8 catches for 240 yards and Beasley gets the ball in the first half. No way on Earth they show all those 8 and 9 man boxes and send the house.

Missing the LB underneath is something Romo used to do early in his career; he wouldn't struggle to make reads in the RZ like that. Dak threw that pick and spit the bit for awhile. That 2 minute at the end of regulation seemed to settle him down but Dak's accuracy was again inconsistent. COmpounding matters he lost poise and was getting DoG and seeing ghosts. We have all seen rookie QB do worse but Dak performed poorly under those sellout blitzes.

Either that or Romo gets sacked and misses two months. Prescott's simple ability to physically take a routine football hit pretty much equalizes those things.

 

[mattjames2010]

I just can't get over some of the noodle arm throws I saw yesterday. It was gross, like the second coming of Tim Tebow. Also, that regression in footwork.

Can anyone seriously tell me, as of right now, you see Dak as a 10-15 year starter?

Then Dak goes right back in. Even your scenario of fear isn't the end of the world.

I don't think Romo is made of glass.

Absolutely. Players have bad games, especially rookies. Hell, if you'll remember, Romo's first career pass was a pick. Prescott has the physical tools and he has "IT". Not many guys on the planet do.

 

[jwitten82]

This was the first game where it was obvious that had we had a 100% non-rusty Romo, we would have won going away. The game was much more difficult than it needed to be. It was almost an impossible win. Dak is a winner, but I'll say it again: Ive seen Romo throw 5 interceptions in a game before, but I have NEVER seen Romo have such poor accuracy as Dak has last night.

The game where he threw 5 int's he was 29 for 50. I guess those int's were real accurate

Show me a rookie that this has happened to, with GIFs/Video. Show me these rookies, that have gone on to be greats, that threw the ball the way Dak did yesterday. Show me this QBs going noodle arm on important throws.

Your sheet is about to be blank or very, very short.

I think the stat is that in the last four games Romo has started, he's only finished one of them. Those things don't magically go away when you're his age in the NFL. I didn't think this to start the year, but I really don't think Romo brings any skills to the table that really put him above the value added that Prescott brings simply with his ability to take hits, run the ball, and move around. I really don't care what they decide to do as long as they keep winning, as I'm a big Romo fan, but I don't want to give up a couple of games while Romo shakes the rust off (which he will no doubt have to do).

Those noodle-arm throws are due to his footwork, not because of a weak arm. That is correctable and only gets better with playing time, which he is getting now. I do see him as our future for the next 8-10 years.

With that said, I do not think he is ready to go through the playoff gauntlet.....we need Romo for that. I say let Dak play a few more games, get more experience then bring Tony back in to finish out the season and be completely ready for our first playoff opponent. We will need Romo to beat Atlanta IMO.

Not sure if you noticed, but the Cowboys have played more than one game this year. You're being a prisoner of the moment. Does Aaron Rodgers have a "noodle arm" because he had a few bad games? Of course not. I don't see any appreciable difference between Romo and Prescott's arm strength. I do see a difference in the offensive playcalling, however, which is fine. It's working well.

I think he is referring to the Commanders. Romo had trouble with Gregg Williams blitz
