Interesting Tony Romo nugget

[Blake]

Chuck Norris was in a sport that didn't rely on multiple other players.

Dumb argument has always been dumb. It's something people like you have been attempting since 2006.

Chuck Norris didn't choke like Romo.

It's a truth that has stood the test of time, and is the reason Romo won't ever be in the Hall of Fame.

 

[OmerV]

No it dosent and when coming back from an injury in a preseason game it makes even less sense .

I appreciated that Romo hated giving up on a play, and the likely truth is he wouldn't have been as good a QB if he hadn't had that attitude, but it wasn't always the smart thing.

Was the 2006 Seattle playoff game a phony narrative?
Was 2007 vs. NY phony? Is 50% completion rate phony? How about 200 yards passing? Or the last drive of 3 incomplete passes and an INT?
2008 getting blown out 44-6? 180 yards passing? Was the pick 6 or two fumbles?
2010 vs the Vikings, 2 fumbles and an INT and 198 yards passing.
Or the 3 week 17 failures to miss the playoffs?

Phony narrative?

The glitch.

Ah, the "choke" argument now? Bud, even MSM has stopped with this.

Troll better, not harder. Never understood why people want to look stupid...

 

[mattjames2010]

Prescott played lights out vs. GB in the 2016 playoffs, shouldn't he be afforded the poor defense excuse?

Someone who couldn't score a single point until we were down by multiple TDs isn't playing "lights out". Someone who threw an INT on a simple dump off pass didn't play "lights out".

He had a good game but made costly mistakes. Stop revising and exaggerating.

Go sob in your Tony Chokomo blanket. Real men are having a discussion here.

Fwiw, the best team he had was in his 1st full season as starter, in 2007

I saw the Giants game mentioned earlier....The Giants ended up beating everyone in the playoffs that year, btw. QBs were, Brady, Favre, Garcia, Romo

but anyway, here was the final drive by Dallas:

--Romo pass complete to Barber to 9 yards
--Barber -1 yard rush
--Romo pass complete to Witten for 18 yards..1st down
--False start -5 yards Columbo
--Romo pass complete to Witten 4 yards
--Romo pass incomplete to Witten
--*Romo pass incomplete to Crayton---this was the game-winner. perfect pass in endzone and Crayton broke his route. Clear as day
--4th down...cannot throw away or take sack....Romo incomplete/intercepted in end zone. But that was a no choice deal, unless he wanted to save his stats and throw it away.

Even though it is funny how some of Romo's critics (not you DFWJC) have and may continue warping that set of events as a fail, I still stick with the fact all games are the outcome of four quarter contests. This example has a habit of resurfacing in these conversations but it continually makes me shake my head how the defense's pitiful collapse during the Giants' final drive just prior to halftime rarely gets mentioned--except by folks like me.

It is the irony that gets me--in that the quarterback sometimes receives an unfair amount of criticism in a team sport. The propaganda is powered by the narrow-minded "Quarterback did not do his job!" It is a tunnel vision mantra providing an out for assigning appropriate blame beyond the position. If the mantra WERE properly applied, conversations like these would be littered with remembrances of Jacques Reeves & crew laying down before Eli Manning and allowing him to drive the New York offense for a touchdown--that, after the final gun, helped the Giants to win that game.

People rarely say something like "Jacques Reeves did not do his job!" Or similar comments are often overshadowed by the verbal pointing of fingers at the quarterback. It is wrong in either sense. My hope is that some fans treat Prescott with more knowledgeable civility as his career progresses. It is the fair thing to do.

Not an argument. You lose.

 

[DallasEast]

I didn't mean it as "majority". I just meant it as being a notable number.

Yes. I know. Thanks.

 

[DallasEast]

Not really. Chuck Norris has actually won a championship in his sport; several in fact. Can't say the same about Romo.

Why is it that I am hearing a remix of Kung Foo Fighting with the Fox Sunday Football theme music inside my head now?

 

[Blake]

There never was an argument to begin with. Romo wasn't a great QB. This is a pretty objective fact.

You don't understand the definition of "great" - statistics, even his 4th quarter stats, show he was a great QB. You don't play at the highest level of a sport and be a top 5 to top 10 QB year in and year out and not be a "great" QB.

You're not good at this, and for your sake, you should stop.

Yes, Romo was the NFL's equivalence of a stat padder. We all get this.

You're still attempting to troll - do better. Stat padding would mean we were down often, which was rarely the case for Romo. The games we had Romo were often incredibly close against the opposition. There was no time for "stat padding".

if you want to see stat padding, look at Blake Bortles in 2015.

"2 playoff wins under his belt"
"ROMO GOT A PASSER RATING"

8 INTs in games under 3 minutes left and behind. That's the most in the NFL among starting QBs.
"ROMO GOT A PASSER RATING"

Romo has been surrounded with good to elite WR talent and hasn't been able to lead teams to the playoffs
"ROMO GOT A PASSER RATING"

Romo has missed the playoffs with defenses in the Top 15 and multiple pro bowlers at his disposal.
"ROMO GOT A PASSER RATING"

Romo choked in 2007 vs the Giants, got out played by Eli despite Marion Barber running for over 130 yards.
"ROMO GOT A PASSER RATING"

Romo had the 3nd ranked defense in the playoffs in 2009, and still choked vs the Vikings.
"ROMO GOT A PASSER RATING"

191 yards and only 21 points against a Packers with a suspect D. Also got outplayed by a QB who was essentially playing on one leg

Not sure how leading the league in late 4th qtr game-winning drives over a several year period can ever be called stats padding. Seems the opposite, actually.

But thats an argument for you and matt to have.
No ones saying he (and all other QBs) didnt have some bad picks.
Just found that comment odd.

1. This stat means nothing unless you show the amount of times he was in a close game compared to other QBs. You're not smart

2. Romo had Dez and Owens - Dez took 2 and a half seasons to develop. He wasn't "surrounded" by elite WRs, and he made a lot of those receivers great not the other way around.

3. What defense was "top 15" and in what areas? Show me a defense during Romo's time where we led the league in turnovers to help our offense. Our defenses were hardly elite from 2010-2014. Even our 2009 defense flopped in the playoffs against the Vikings

4. Romo hit Crayton for a should-be long TD that would have put us up over the Giants, he also threw a beautiful pass to the corner of the end zone but Crayton stopped on the route. His INT came in a desperation throw on a 4th and long against a defense that went on to shut down the greatest offense the NFL has ever seen at the time in the Super bowl....

5. Our defense gave up 34 points and Brett Favre threw for over 300 yards and that our O-Line performed so poorly in that game that it started our rebuild of that unit.

6. You're not smart. He had less than 20 pass attempts in that game due to the weather and being a run heavy team that year.

Anything else?

Nothing quite as costly as an interception in the first game of the season against an out of conference opponent. How does the team ever recover? The “Blake” troll outdoes himself again.

Figure of speech. Not impressed by meaningless stats that have no relevance to post season success. It has superficially inflated Romo's image imo.
