I have a suggestion for Tony Romo

[hutch1254]

After watching the second half of the 2008 season and now four games into this one I've noticed something that is happening too often now. The ball is slipping out of Tony's hand a sailing high. Tony Romo used to throw a fairly tight spiral in 2006 and 2007. I think his pinkie injury is still bothering him and hinders his grip on occasion. I think this also contributes to his lack of confidence. Think about the pick six he threw in Pittsburgh.

Does anyone remember how well Kurt Warner threw the ball from 1999-2002? He put up record numbers until Roy Williams broke his thumb in a 2002 game. He was not the same QB until the last two years. The difference was he went to wearing a glove to help compensate for his reduced grip on the ball. He went from being Eli Manning and Matt Lienharts backup up to throw for over 4000 yards and leading his perpetually hapless team to the Super Bowl.

I wonder if Tony should try the glove experiment? I've also noticed that his pump fakes are not as good now as they were earlier in his career. If you remember Tony was starting to wear a glove in the 2005 preseason until Bill Parcells told him to take it off.

I know this has nothing to do with his poor reads but does anyone think this might be something for him to try?

A glove? Seriously? Ozzie Guillien called. He said "pssshh, please."

I think the reason that some of his throws were high against Denver was that he was getting pressure up the middle, and he was throwing off his back foot.

That is not a bad suggestion.

I do think something is still wrong with his hand.

it misses Jessica's...company

A glove cant hurt. This would be a good week to try it out against a patsy team like the Cheifs.

i also have a suggestion for romo....


STOP SUCKING!

I just told you my opinion on why He hasnt improved.

1. LACK OF CONFIDENCE
2. NO coaching of Romo to help him improve his game

in all honesty, i think your reason #2 is a major reason romo has been so terrible

TO = Swagga

This offense lost its Swag they look like a bunch of stiffs. Poor route running, Tony looks like a traffic cop behind the line getting people in to position.

I think a lot has changed. Its just too easy to heap it all on the QB. Sure he missed on a couple open guys, name me one QB that hits em every time? Of course all that leads to a lack of confidence.

And with Felix out...

There is NO big play ability unless you consider Tony scrambling around the pocket with a 25% chance to fumble, 50% chance to throw the interception or 25% chance to make a "Brett Favre" throw a "big play"
