Is this the Romo all his detractors have wanted all these years?

[aikemirv]

The one that stays in the pocket, never takes a chance and takes what the defense gives him.

I hope you guys are happy, because I am not. Romo has let all his critics neuter him and it is a disgrace. He has taken the qualities out of his game that make him special and it is a shame to see it happen.

Our defense is not good enough for Aikman type games and we sure don't have the running game for it. I want the Romo from 2007 back!

Pretty much....

Yea, Romo let some CZ posters dictate the playcalling

 

[DejectedFan1996]

I think he has lost the ability to throw the ball deep consistently and with precision. That doesn't mean we still can't win with him playing the way he is.

More like the coaching staff and constant media bashing for 6 years.

I think a Romo that doesn't turn the ball over but that is still producing at a career high level is what most people want, yes.

If he isn't going to through deep a few times a game and if they are never going to move him out of the pocket, they might as well bring back Brad Johnson.

Most people want more than 14 points.

Overreact much? When was Brad Johnson on pace for 32TDs and 4INTs?

!

The romo haters that I have listened to prefer a more literal neutering

Great. Maybe the RBs can actually start scoring then.

8-8 at best with this Romo.

 

[Tabascocat]

It is not Romo, it is the schemes and execution and lack of creativity. That falls on Callahan and Garrett. I seriously doubt that Romo is tentative due to media scrutiny, it is more likely due to the poor offensive gameplans installed limiting what he can and can not do.

You take the good with the bad both ways.

There are less bad plays with him being more of a pocket passer, he seems more protective of the ball this year, he's doing good just taking the sack and not risking a sack/fumble.

But I think this means there will be less spectacular plays as well.

I think he's doing good. Yesterday having to rely on #3 and #4 receivers a lot more hurt a bit. Harris should have caught that first down pass when romo scrambled. And then Williams fumbles at the 2 yard line as well.

But in the end, something always happens to help cowboys lose when it seems they are on the verge of turning the corner and it happened again yesterday. Up 11, with all the momentum and we can't stop them. Frustrating

He's 3rd in completion percentage, tied for 3rd in touchdowns, 4th in rating and 2nd in interception percentage. While this does not mean he's been perfect, I can't imagine how low one's football IQ would have to be to have him anywhere near a list of concerns. It's funny, most of the Romo haters here are smart enough to know they would look pretty dumb to say anything right now so they are staying quiet. But a few just can't help themselves.

He is not even close to producing at a career high level.

right...except that he is in TDs, completion % and passer rating with a low in INTs.

 

[Rockport]

Romo is not the problem. Haters are just blind with their hate. He was 27-37 and 2 TD's (with 4 dropped passes). He got the ball rarely in the second half and in the first half, drives were killed by dropped passes and penalties. Watch the game before you make such a ridiculous comment.

Welcome to the zone my friend.

Romo has always made up for the deficiencies in JG's offense. Most of the big plays happened due to Romo improvising and not from the play working as designed.
