I'm FAMOUS! My question got on Dallascowboys radio!

[Bizwah]

Eastern senior Tony Romo excelled at the arm strength and IQ tests at the NFL combine. Romo was clocked at 57 mph during throwing drills and answered 37 out of the 50 questions correctly on the IQ test.
…Romo earned the second-fastest time in the shuttle run and was timed at 4.9 seconds in the 40-yard-dash.
Romo ended the day by answering question from the media for a day-long record of nearly 38 minutes until Simms stayed at the podium for 45 minutes after Romo.

Training camp 2005
Troy Aikmam, who won three Super Bowls as the Cowboys quarterback in the 1990s, was at practice Thursday. He said he's impressed with Romo, who played at NCAA Division I-AA Eastern Illinois.

"If you didn't know his background, how he throws the ball, you wouldn't know he was an undrafted quarterback," Aikman said.

...Well, let me just leave you with one item: The Cowboys turned down a third-round draft pick from the Jets for Romo before the trading deadline, which seems to indicate they still like him.

Matt Mosley: Folks, as hard as this is for some of you to accept, the backup quarterback job is Tony Romo's to lose. I have no idea why Parcells is so down on Drew Henson. I thought he did a pretty good job in Dusseldorf, especially when you consider his not-ready-for-prime-time supporting cast. Henson needs Parcells to retire after this season. It's that simple. Here's what I do know: You will be amazed at how much time Romo plays in the pre-season. Bledsoe will get a couple of dress rehearsals, and then Romo will take over from there. It will almost feel like Romo's the starter by the time preseaon's over. And I've said it plenty of times, but this kid actually thinks he has a shot at beating out Bledsoe. Is he delusional? Maybe, but that's not necessarily a bad thing.

It may not be wise to be comparing Romo who has never thrown a pass in a real NFL game to Delhomme who has been to a SB. But I'd have to say that is just as unwise to be rolling you eyes and laughing at the prospect. In his limited opportunities Romo has shown that he has something to work with and has the potential to become a very good QB. Does he have the intangibles that Delhomme has? We won't know until he plays. It is not the time to put him on a pedestal but neither is it the time to write him off.

You're not telling us anything that we haven't already read.

I think most on this board like Romo. I think 100% of the Cowboys fans on this board would LOVE to see the guy (actually, any of our QBs) show us that he is, without a doubt, the QB of the future.

But for you to bash the "mediots" for not coming out and telling us all how Romo is the next Aikman, is ridiculous.

No one.....not even Parcells....knows for sure what Romo has. The "mediots" even said, that he hasn't really had the chance to show what he can do yet.

 

[the_h0wey]

well, TALENT doesn't have to be seen only on the field. Tuna has to be careful about not upsetting Bledsoe, and allowing Tony get some playing time.

But do you guys HONESTLy think that Tony Romo IS THAT BAD????

Give it up! The Tuna KNOWS ABSOLUTELY what he has in Tony Romo...and we don't.

I don't understand why so many of you can't see it also.

I am only juding by what LITTLE we have seen and read about Tony.

But maybe I just have a keener eye and than most of you?

We shall see very, very soon.

your skipping of lines and random capitalizations confused my tiny brain so i will be forced to agree with you

Hummm...Where have I heard this type of banter before.....Oh yeah, I think I heard the same thing about these fella's too....

Dave Brown: NY Giants (1992)
Art Schlichter, QB, Ohio State (4th overall, Colts, 1982)
Heath Shuler, QB, Tennessee (3rd overall, Commanders, 1994)
Kelly Stouffer, QB, Colorado State (6th overall, Cardinals, 1987)
Andre Ware, QB, Houston (7th overall, Lions, 1990)
Rich Campbell, QB, California (6th overall, Packers, 1981)
Jim Druckenmiller, QB, Virginia Tech (26th overall, 49ers, 1997)
David Klingler, QB, Houston (6th overall, Bengals, 1992)
Ryan Leaf, QB, Washington State (2nd overall, Chargers, 1998)
Todd Marinovich, QB, USC (24th overall, Raiders, 1991)
Dan McGwire, QB, San Diego State (16th overall, Seahawks, 1991)
Rick Mirer, QB, Notre Dame (2nd overall, Seahawks, 1993)
Quincy Carter
Akili Smith
Jeff Blake

And the list goes on.........and on............and on...............and on.............

This list contains a LOT of first and second round picks that had BIG TIME college experience.

Can you really explain how you have come to behold such wisdom that Romo will somehow stand above this impressive list of potential "saviours" and ALSO succeed???

Not to mention Beat out Bledsoe this year and be better than Aikman.

Romo has thrown ZERO NFL passes yet you seem to know more than anyone in the football business including Bill Parcells.

Please provide some fact based knowledge and back up your claims.

I'm waiting......:hammock: :hammock:

Matt Mosley: I'm a believer; Cowboys win a close one
08:26 PM CDT on Thursday, October 20, 2005

I think Drew Henson gets one more training camp unless the Cowboys draft someone. Tony Romo seems to be light years ahead of him at this point. Even Keyshawn Johnson, who is a good friend of Henson's, was talking about how Romo has a good shot at being a starting quarterback in the league. He said Romo makes some great throws in practice. We're not able to see most of that stuff.
+++++++++++++++++++

"It's tough because, as a competitor, you always think you can find a way to help your team get better and possibly win a game,'' Romo said. "And for me being still a guy who has really yet to play in a regular-season game, it would have been nice to get in there and get some snaps and get accustomed to the action and intensity of Sundays that are for real.'' As difficult as it has been to handle with the unenviable responsibility of having to prepare for games the last three years knowing he probably wouldn't play, Romo can see the wisdom of Parcells' ways.

"He probably thinks he's looking out for me in that he doesn't want to send a guy into a bad situation,'' Romo said. "If we're not protecting the quarterback and we're not running our offense smoothly, then why put a guy in and possibly have his development regress?'' After backing up Quincy Carter and Chad Hutchinson as a rookie in 2003, Vinny Testaverde in 2004 and Bledsoe this season, does Romo still have confidence? Does the 2002 Walter Payton Award winner as the best player at the NCAA Division I-AA level still believe he can ultimately be a productive quarterback in the NFL? You bet he does. Romo has always had the mindset of continuing to work on his game instead of sulking when things don't go well and this situation has been no different.

"Each time that you prepare during the week, you really do feel as though you're going to play,'' Romo said. "Now, granted, I know that Drew's the starter, but I would say this year especially, every week I felt something was coming up where I would have to be ready to go. That's just the competitor in me.

At least Romo has some degree of security. He signed a two-year $1.88 million contract in May. And he has what he calls a comfortable relationship with the occasionally volatile Parcells, who has revealed his softer side to Romo.

The two have hit golf balls together on occasion. Parcells has also regaled Romo with stories from his illustrious career, during which he won two Super Bowl championship rings as coach of the New York Giants.

"I actually talk to him quite a bit,'' Romo said. "He's definitely an historian of football and I love to talk about it with him. I grew up watching the game and the older I get, the more passionate I get about hearing about the great players across the league. So we're always talking about things of that nature.'' Does Romo sense that he has earned Parcells' respect as a quarterback? "Yeah, I think so, sure,'' Romo said. "I think he just appreciates how competitive I am and how much I enjoy the game. You know, those are the type of guys he really wants to be around and wants to have on his team - people who will compete every day and just love what they do.'' So Romo will continue doing what he's doing and wait for an opportunity that could come next week, next year or maybe five years from now. As for the long-term future, let's just say that he likes his chances.

"Even with Drew Bledsoe when he was with New England,'' Romo said. "I mean, Bledsoe had just signed a $100 million contract the year before and, yet, they still ended up going with (Tom) Brady.

"It was a huge move, but it was because they see talent. I promise you they're cut-throat in this business. They don't sit around because the guy's got a big name.

"They'll give you an opportunity, but then it's like, `OK, we're going with the best player.' It's too cut-throat for coaches and front-office people to wait on guys and to hope that guys can play.

"You have to show them. That's the bottom line - `Show me.' '' In that regard, Romo is ready, willing and able.

Please provide some fact based knowledge and back up your claims.

I'm waiting......:hammock: :hammock:

1. Simple, grasshopper. Bill Parcells knows Romo's talent better than any of us. He sees Romo's talent and so do I, even though I have only seen him in pre-season games.


2. You and your friends (including the mediots) statement,"Romo has thrown ZERO NFL passes tells me you are not very knowledgeable when it comes to judging talent, I will leave it at that.

In reality, Romo has thrown a few NFL passes in pre-season. But you OVERLOOK the talent he possessess that some of you just don't see. TheTuna calls it Moxie...that's the best way to put it. I see the kid's Moxie, don't you?

(can someone posts Romo's preseason stats I would like to see them)

I want a great Qb just like anyone here. My knock on Bledsoe, he holds the ball too long, you know that. We would have won at least three or four MORE games if Romo had been playing. I am DEAD SERIOUS!



Romo is S-M-O-O-O-O-T-H.
The guy is in control. He makes a mistake and he comes right back and hits a few, doesn't chicken out, he produces. He marches the team downfield. The guy's a leader--a true field general. That's what I have seen.

Many of you choose to only see that he came from a small college, has a weak arm, looks uncomfortable.

I see championship caliber talent oozing from the kid.

Better yet, check this out:
Tony(the talented racehorse), Parcells (the trainer) just happens to be holding the reins on his thoroughbred and will run him in the big race at the right time. The horse hasn't been run in any official races yet, but in practice, the horse outruns all the other horses most of the time. The trainer KNOWs the horse will win many races for him.

The OWNER (Jerry) wants to give his current horse (Bledsoe) every opportuniy to win the big one, mostly because of respect for what the old horse has done in the past and he still plays a good game. And he won't retire the legendary horse until things get really bad.

But the fact is the other racehorse is just as good OR better, but is not his time yet.

Bill will not hesitate to yank Bledsoe this year...Book it!

So you read articles from the media, call them idiots and use thier sources as gospel.......

So how many practices have you been to that you have watched Romo? You know as much as the rest of us, and that comes from reading what someone else wrote who has watched him PRACTICE... :bang2:

 

[Fernando Fernandez]

You know as much as the rest of us, and that comes from reading what someone else wrote who has watched him PRACTICE... :bang2:

You learn alot about a guy in PRACTICE, even if it is just reading about him.
However, if I beleived everything I read, i would also think that Henson is better than Romo and that Romo has a weak arm, looks lost on the field, and that he will never be a starting NFL Qb because he comes from a small double A college.

Parcells and a few of us "see" Romo's talent on the practice field and on the playing field.

 

[KingTuna]

1. Simple, grasshopper. Bill Parcells knows Romo's talent better than any of us. He sees Romo's talent and so do I, even though I have only seen him in pre-season games

Yes Parcells knows his talent and Parcells knows he is at best a #2 QB in this league right now

2. You and your friends (including the mediots) statement,"Romo has thrown ZERO NFL passes tells me you are not very knowledgeable when it comes to judging talent, I will leave it at that.

This is simply stating a fact. It is not speculation or opinion. Zero passes thrown in a regular season NFL game. I know that hurts your position but it's simply the truth.

In reality, Romo has thrown a few NFL passes in pre-season. But you OVERLOOK the talent he possessess that some of you just don't see. TheTuna calls it Moxie...that's the best way to put it.  I see the kid's Moxie, don't you?

(can someone posts Romo's preseason stats I would like to see them)

Posting his pre-season stats is a waste of time. Pre-season games against third stringers and practice squad players is NOT a measuring stick to gauge NFL QB talent. It's not apples to apples. Much like the european league is to be taken with a grain of salt. consider the competition level.

I want a great Qb just like anyone here. My knock on Bledsoe, he holds the ball too long, you know that. We would have won at least three or four MORE games if Romo had been playing. I am DEAD SERIOUS!

3 or 4 more wins had Bledsoe not held on to the ball so long??? HUH??? That's really grasping at air. I prefer to para-phrase our soon to be hall of fame coach. "With a better kicker here last year we would have won 12 games." As you have pointed out, Parcells knows much more about the season and players than any of us do. So taking PArcells statement and adding it to your wisdom that Bledsoe cost us 3 or 4 more games becauyse he "HELD ON TO THE BALL TOO LONG", by your calculation we should have finished 15-1 or 16-0.

Not that Bledsoe is error free of course. However, if you watched all of last years games I am sure you can recall many times where Bledsoe holding on to the ball as long as he did allowed for some BIG plays downfield and more positive than negative had he just thrown it away.

Romo is S-M-O-O-O-O-T-H.
The guy is in control. He makes a mistake and he comes right back and hits a few, doesn't chicken out, he produces. He marches the team downfield. The guy's a leader--a true field general. That's what I have seen.

Again, Please remind of which games in the season he has demonstrated this as a Cowboy. I still see that he has not thrown a pass or "marched the team downfield" since he has been on the roster. Am I missing something?? No, did not think so. Oh wait...I forgot, He did it in the pre-season against weak competition that frankly, many are probably not even on NFL rosters now.

Many of you choose to only see that he came from a small college, has a weak arm, looks uncomfortable.

uhhh...You said that... not me....

I see championship caliber talent oozing from the kid.

Maybe that is just sweat..

Not at all my friend...Just stating good old fashioned fact based logic.

I wish Romo the best and have nothing against him at all as a player or person.

This thread is really not about Romo at all. It's about some wild claims and predictions that have no factual basis other than opinion, assumption and obviously a lot of hope. It could have been about anyone on the team in Romo's same situation.

I am fine with that but when you make those kind of "out there" predictions
(Going to be better than Aikman, going to unseat Bledsoe by mid-season, ETC..) that have little other backing than the above mentioned attributes and not preface it by saying " my out of this world hope and desire would be..." and rather make the claim as "fact" or making the assumption that because the majority of us in the zone do not see it exactly as you, then our views and feedback (even if based on a factual foundation) hold no value and only your view is right.

That my friend, is really what this entire thread is about.

[CM Duck]

My knock on Bledsoe, he holds the ball too long, you know that. We would have won at least three or four MORE games if Romo had been playing. I am DEAD SERIOUS!

you are correct sir, in that Mr Bledsoe tends to hold the ball too long at times.

but to say Romo would have led us to 3 or 4 more victories last season is hilarious (IMO).

its more like IF we had a GOOD fieldgoal kicker last season we would have won 3 or 4 more games than we did.

meanwhile, Jerry finally signed a very good kicker, but still has an unproven BACK-UP QB!!!

One more thing, for all WE know, this Mroz kid has all the "moxie" that Romo supposedly has with a bigger arm. So what would stop him from EVENTUALLY(not exactly this season) pushing your boy Romo to the back of the QB line?

It is impossible for us know what Bill sees in his players, and I am pretty sure he will not be telling any of us anytime soon.

What we should all agree on is that hopefully Mr Bledsoe will NOT miss a significant amount of time this season. B/C no matter how much POTENTIAL Romo shows, IMO he isn't ready to lead this team to the promised land...not this season anyways. But of course, this is only MY opinion.

Not at all my friend...Just stating good old fashioned fact based logic.

I wish Romo the best and have nothing against him at all as a player or person.

This thread is really not about Romo at all. It's about some wild claims and predictions that have no factual basis other than opinion, assumption and obviously a lot of hope. It could have been about anyone on the team in Romo's same situation.

I am fine with that but when you make those kind of "out there" predictions
(Going to be better than Aikman, going to unseat Bledsoe by mid-season, ETC..) that have little other backing than the above mentioned attributes and not preface it by saying " my out of this world hope and desire would be..." and rather make the claim as "fact" or making the assumption that because the majority of us in the zone do not see it exactly as you, then our views and feedback (even if based on a factual foundation) hold no value and only your view is right.

That my friend, is really what this entire thread is about.

:starspin

I think you are overreacting, as i thought some would, when I made or make my "wild claims and predictions", as you call them.

Everyone's view holds value and if I come across as "only my view is right", then I sincerely apologize for being such a terrible writer. English is not my first language, Spanish is.

This thread IS about Tony Romo and my opinion of his talent, his potential and my prediction of what I feel will happen this year. Nothing more, nothing less.

I disagree with many posters here regarding Tony Romo's talent, potential and future with this team. Such is life.

PS: Tony looked pretty good today, didn't he?

March on, Tony Romo! March on!
