I'm happy Vinny Testaverde was a Cowboy.

After Parcells comments today, we got a little more insight to the benefits brought by Vinny in his year here. Granted 6-10 on the field won't make any one go crazy. As a player, Vinny was running on fumes at age 41.

The lasting legacy he may leave was in his mentoring of Tony Romo (I think Vinny may be a great QB coach if he so desired) In terms of game preparation and just what it takes to be a quarterback in this league. Romo certainly would not have received the same quality of mentoring from Quincy (much due to Vinny's vast experience in the league.) I heard about Vinny's unselfish tutoring of Chad Pennington even after he was benched in the middle of the 2002 season. I think he played the same role here

I know Vinny's not the most popular guy here, but he served his purpose, albeit in a way not readily visible to most of us fans.

Thank you, Vinny.

I think you make a valid point. Vinny has had success in this league and knew what it took to be a successful QB, in terms of preparation and what not.

Before he arrived, Romo's vet influence was frun Carter and Chutchinson. Not what I would call greatness. If Romo pans out, that might have been a major reason for it.

From Parcells PC:

The best thing theat ever happened to Romo was Testeverde coming here. Vinny is a meticulous prep guy and Tony learned. Tony told me how important that was to him. Drew is the same way, but Vinny was here first.

whatever, I've heard before that Tony just adores Testaverde. Bill's comment just reinforces what i've thought and heard.

Some people's only purpose on this forum is to BASH. Whether its makes them look like a complete idiot or not... they will find a way to bash someone or something.

Quite frankly, your arrogance in presuming to know what goes on in my head is nothing short of astounding.

probably pulling the collar on his shirt down with both hands like he does on the sidelines.

Funny some people have for a long time argued that Romo and/or Henson were being groomed. Part of grooming a QB comes from watching the starter.
How they prepare, how they lead, how they handel the pressure of the job.

Do you think that Romo was learning from Carter or Hutch?:lmao:
