News: Is Tony Romo Truly Getting Better With Age?

[noshame]

Disappear? 23 years a Veteran; 17 years Postal Worker; Emergency Response Team/Security Officer 6 years...but you qualify as a fan, even if infested with a dismal set of mood for association.

Relax, the last thing I want to do is upset a postal worker.

No, the last thing that you want...is to come clean.

Of course, the real indicators during practices and his physical conditioning elements don't matter now...a fan can't then moan and groan in stereotypes of failure. He still is pretty young as to youthful elements of being a man. He is a long developed athlete...maybe not in the Olympics, but for football he answers the bell now, well.

He didn't answer the bell last year. Two broken collarbones. There aren't a lot of quarterbacks who make it further than 36. Troy was 34.

I seem to recall the same Ripple being passed around with the mere mention of Jerry Jones, Jason Garrett, and Tony Romo...as to your stack of excuses.

I say that the man has shown a top level of guts, despite the injuries, and his performances have steadily improved, EVERY time that he does make it onto the carpet.

To listen to the burn barrel conventioners, Jerry; Jason; and Tony should have just given up years ago...but instead of being prone, he risked things despite personal pain. I'm backing him MORE strongly now. Sorry, I don't cry in my beer...or Bourbon for that matter.

By the way, was the fine print on that insurance policy read? It said: bla, bla, bla, bla, bla, bla, bla!

No way was Romo better in 2007 than he was in 2014


Romo said himself that he laughs at the QB he used to be.

If we ran the same run heavy attack in 07', I would agree with you. Yes Barber ran all day in the first half but gassed out in the 2nd...(playoff loss). Heck, we were last in passing attempts over 30 yds in 14'. We were vanilla but would dock that up to Romo's maturity, but deftly not mixed in w/his physical superiority; aka his "prime". All aging QBs think they are playing the best football of their lives but if he tried to run that pass happy scheme now (deep ball reincorporated), we know how that would go, etc. I love Romo, but his heir is needed for grooming hopefully a lot sooner than later bc of his age/inj history.

 

[Jerryrage]

Romo really squandered some good years.

Dude we get it. You are a vet and I thank you for your service. Don't use it to act like you're better than anyone else on an Internet forum.

Prove anything about your statement beyond an abstract opinion...anything with actual reason.

I shouldn't have to explain to you that QB's 36+ with multiple back surgeries are not "better with age". It's laughable. We all hope for the best but hope is not always the best strategy. You lack objectivity.

You don't present evidence as to what you claim evidence...go figure why not.

And even a committed return to age and injury, despite evidence of continued improvement, doesn't make that go away either.

As to my comment, is was again to one of your underhanded tosses at insult. You still don't hold water there either. Don't like speaking of the truth...simple, stay out of the conversation...or pick up one with someone who loves burn barrel convention time. Sorry...you are on ignore for quite a few times for returning to insult instead of proof, beyond a stereotype and reference to lowered intelligence levels.

You haven't come to a comment on this whole season projecting very, very strongly...and yea, with Tony Romo at the helm. You'd rather infer some kind of high ground in insult.

Great~Crappy

Your side doesn't add up...

I guess some worry about wine turning to vinegar, when there is ample in the basement, now.

Sorry, no matter the direction of deviation...the gas gauge reads full tank.

Think opponent staffs are rolling the dice on a damaged Tony Romo? I sure don't. For starters, the Dallas medical/conditioning staff are inferior to no other team's.

Jerry puts his money where is mouth is on those issues.

I agree that Romo best was in 07 and I would also say that he would have been great in 08 if the injury never happened. They were attacking downfield a lot more then.

The difference I see in Romo then vs now is confidence. Back then under Wade, when he messed up on plays, he was still slinging the ball and made better plays. I remember a game against Denver in 09 where he threw the ball to Champ Bailey side 14 times and was rarely successful but he kept trying. That is what I loved about him.
Now when he messes up, he plays passive until he feels comfortable again or when they have no choice but to throw. If he feels that a wr isnt doing his job or a db is getting the better of him, he doesnt look that way at all.

But we all know that if we are going to see the "great" Tony Romo again, he always will need at least a 50 percent running attack.

Aikman? Just bc JJ goes all in doesn't give it credence. That's why I actually liked that he really wanted to pull the trigger for Lynch (bc he should have). He knows 5 years is PR, real team needs are a different thing, etc.

Why? I think that Tony has a three year window, here and now...and through the playoffs.

But the quality of care does make a difference with an athlete...and one can through as many examples of failure as he wishes. That still doesn't change the actual successes as well.

For the record, how many past concussions are now being viewed historically, and changing some of the business in the NFL. Not an excuse, but change...

The fact he was better physically back then doesnt mean he was a superior QB.

In 2014, Romo:
Was an All-Pro
Led the league in completion %, ypa, rating
Had 6 4th qtr comebacks
Set NFL record for qb rating in december (you know, that same month he was known to play poorly in)
3.4:1 Td/Int ratio

Yes in 2007 he put up more yards and tds but he almost had twice the amount of interceptions and played poorly the last month of the season. Where in that performance can you say he was better than 2014

I'm more in that 2 year IF LUCKY type. That explains our positions. All good brother.

 

[cowboyblue22]

all I know is a lot of tony's career has been wasted by a front office of the dallas cowboys to have a franchise qb and only win two wild card playoff games is simply awful.

He was also running a vastly different offense. That was more of my point tbh but your point is true too. More of a take Romo's physical ability (agility/evading ability/deep ball capable) and mix that w/his current vet smarts and our now run heavy offense would have led to more post season appearances/wins, etc. Trick question. Personally I worry about Romo's back more than anything else...why were we last in deep attempts when so successful when doing so in 14'? I point to that stat as to why we lost in GB, on top of the Murray fumble, Dez catch, etc.

That goes for long periods of many, many franchises considered better, by that comparison as well. And don't copy/paste to ignore those also...

 

[cowboyblue22]

yes there are lots of other franchises that have done that also however I still think its awful that a front office wastes a talent like tony the cowboys front office has been lost in the dark for several years now and its not getting much better and tony has little time left age will catch him just like it does all other players.

This team has been stacking chips since the lockout and having to completely replace an offensive line. I think that a different time line has to be justified...not ignored.
