Is Romo starting to get some media love? Ray Lewis Says

[DFWJC]

I think Romo has more talent around him now than in recent years.
I still don't think this team is SB caliber.

And yes, any one player (regardless of position) can at least partly cost you a game in an extreme scenario.
I don't believe one single play can cost you a game though, unless everyone wants to ingnore the other 70-90 plays in the game.

As for QBs; I've always asked people this scenario....
It's last play of the Super Bowl game (or any playoff game if you wish)
Player A has great protection, lofts a pefect pass to the endzone and the WR makes the catch...TD. Hero for life. Clutch. HOF etc
Player B does the exact same thing under the exact same pressure, but the WR drops it or does not get both feet in bounds.
So now, Player B is not clutch, not a hero, no elite..whatever.
It's beyond dumb.

The same can apply to a lineman missing block, a fumbled punt, a defense not holding after making the go ahead 4th qtr score, coach not calling for a replay, any horrible penalty..etc, etc.

It's not golf or tennis, it's a team game.
Obvious, but some just don't seem to get ti.

Check out your comment to this fans opinion below. He clearly isn't in love with Romo and you called him ignorant for his opinion.

"That's my point, does ANYBODY believe Romo can win 3-4 play-off games in a row, please explain to me how? I can't believe all his teammates trust he can. I don't even think Tony believes it"

I think you are 100% wrong. Not 95%...100%. Dead Wrong.

 

[WV Cowboy]

Agreed, it takes a team to win. However; can a QB cost you a game?

I think casual fans watch the games, and they see a mistake at the end and blame that guy.

But someone who knows football, or who knows sports in general knows that it is rarely, rarely one guys fault, .. even if he does do something at the end that seems obvious.

It is usually a casual fan that points to that one guy or that one play and says, .. he cost us the game.

Like I said, for the 2nd straight time now. No one here called anyone ignorant because they "aren't in love with Romo", so keep spewing this Romo agenda you have.

I called him IGNORANT not because "He clearly isn't in love with Romo", but because of the substance of his post. He mentioned the Denver game as one of the reasons for this team not to have confidence in Romo, that's completely asinine. Anyone viewing that game in an objective manner wouldn't dare say such a thing, if anything that game BOOSTED their confidence in Romo. That alone showed his ignorance on the game of football.

Actually, that wasn't my opinion.. I was posting someone else's opinion... so you find what they said "Dead Wrong"

Yes, the casual fans were all wrong last year when they "thought" they saw Romo choke vs. Washington. It actually wasn't his fault. It was the receivers faults for running the wrong routes.. or something like that.

You are calling him ignorant simply because he has a different "opinion" than you? I'm going to go ahead and put you on ignore now. You have some growing up to do kid.

If anyone truly believes that game is on Romo, then yes, they're very ignorant on the subject of football. I don't care if I come across to brash, what do you "realist" usually say? You "tell it like it is", well I'm doing just that.

Also, why do you feel the need to call someone you don't even know a kid? Does it give you a sense of power that you're above me? Well, for the record I'm not, but I do find it amusing that you're making wild assumptions again. You seem to have no problem doing so, especially when it comes to the topic of Romo.

UFC, how about you take your own advice and grow up.

 

[Denim Chicken]

Kind of stating the obvious.

Romo's mistakes are legit, but they are wildly overplayed. He's a helluva quarterback any way you slice it.

This may be the best Romo synopsis I have ever heard.

 

[CT Dal Fan]

The Romo comparison I like to use is this:

1. Would the Cowboys of the 1990's have won three Super Bowls if Tony Romo was the quarterback then? I say YES. Put Romo on a team with Emmitt, the Moose, Irvin, Novacek, that offensive line, and that defense, and he'd be a champion. Easily.

2. Would the Cowboys of right now win the Super Bowl with Troy Aikman at quarterback? If you're like me, the answer isn't so certain. And that proves it takes a TEAM.

 

[CowboysFanSince88]

On Mike & Mike Ray Lewis was asked about Tony Romo in the context of the "Romo is like Lebron" comment. He said "it takes a team to win a Super Bowl, no one man can do it by himself." He did refer to some of Tony's costly mistakes in the past but overall it was a complimentary tone. Im sensing that Tony is getting a lil more love in the media than usual.

I am trying to figure out why they would compare Romo to a Champion. We have not made the playoffs yet and romo is still turnover prone so I don't expect him to get any kind of love from the Media


He hasn't done anything but BREAK OUR HEARTS

Stephen Jones made the Romo/Lebron comment. The BSPN mediots ran with it from there.

Well it's a dumb comparison because Lebron's teams made the playoffs and won in the playoffs. Romo's teams have not so no need to compare

Maybe.

He was making the point that Lebron got labeled as a choker until his TEAM won a championship and then all of a sudden the perception changed even tho he was the same player.

Romo is labeled a choker because we are never in the playoffs

The End

 

[jobberone]

The End

That's not factually true. If it's a simple mistake then forgive otherwise you diminish your credibility by not having your facts straight.

I see not one single person replied to my post about Jurgensen, Moon, Marino, Tarkenton, Fouts et al. Answer that one and give us all an answer to how those people are considered great enough to be in the HOF yet at least one had zero playoff wins. While it's premature at least to compare Romo to those guys at this point, it's germane to discuss either no playoff wins, limited success in the playoffs or no SB wins to the argument against Romo. Add the choke label to the same comparison. The comparison between Romo and Jurgensen is compelling IMO.

Mental gymnastics at its best.

Looks like the shoe fits.

 

[cowboys1981]

That's my point, does ANYBODY believe Romo can win 3-4 play-off games in a row, please explain to me how? I can't believe all his teammates trust he can. I don't even think Tony believes it.
Look at the Denver game, yeah, the defense sucked, but they never quit and ultimately allowed the offense to come back. How do you think the players felt when all of the sudden BOOM the game was over? Sure they'll say the right thing later, but after that pick, and the Commanders last year, and countless others, does the team really have 100% confidence in Romo? Does he exude confidence like Aikman or Staubach, Brady, Rogers, Montana, ect... almost willing the team to play above their level? Sorry, but he doesn't have "it"... so yes a QB can be worth more than stats, and effect the game in many ways.

Can Romo win 3-4 playoff games in a row?? No, that takes a team effort. Lets wait until his career is over before we draw comparisons and label him.

All I know is when Romo does in fact win a championship with us, this forum will lose some users(critics).
