Tony Romo is in his 30s.

Yet he is prone to, as he is being pursued, to thow the ball off of one foot.
And typically into double coverage. And, yes, mein eyes half seen him thow into triple coverage.

While his team is still ahead, the late-game clock cries out for running the ball and lactating the clock. Plus, our running back badly wants the ball. So our highly-paid, field commander keeps thowing.

Now, as underwhelming as our coaching staff is , I just know that coaches half counseled him to thow the ball while standing solidly on two feet. And for him to not make desperate thows. And for him at times to choose a mundane running play instead of going for the power and the glory that is a Romo pass.

But nooooooooo.

I am beginning to think that he is uncoachable.
He should have learned these basic concepts fresh out of college. Or in his 2nd year of being a Dallas Cowboy. Or his cousin Lyle should half told him.

Too late for him to change his ways. I can imagine that his quarterback coach can only shrug, knowing that Tony is the boss and Tony will do it his way, the glory way, from now until he retires as a backup to Blake Bortles, a young, coachable QB who will know when to thow to Dez and when to hand off the ball.

Jerra, on my knees I beg off you to trade some deadwood and burn some 2015 draft picks to move up and get Bortles. Please, for the love of humanity and me.

Parcellls said that Romo is a coach killer remember?

The often-stated excuse that Tony is trying "to do too mush" no longer does it. All QBs, by the nature of their position and the duties it entails, try to do a lot. Calling the plays in the huddle, doing reads on the defense, aligning his receivers, making sure the ball is snapped into his hands, etc. -- all of that falls under the definition of doing a lot.
If thowing off one foot unbalanced, thowing into double coverage and making split-second decisions while being pursued is trying to do too mush then STOP IT, TONY! Do what you half to doo and do it correctly as your coaches counsel you.
Right now, your fans can blame the game plan, the O line, the inconsistency of receivers and their drops, "doing too mush" and wrong routes.
Bottom line: A QB leads and takes the heat or the glory. Romo dont want the heat but want all the glory. And thowing it consistency into heavy coverage won't give him the glory no way, no time. Just opportunities at the post-game conference to say "We need to get better. i need to get better."

Romo doesn't want the heat but wants all the glory? Are we talking about the same person? I have never heard Romo put himself above the team, not once.

Actions. Actions.
By yelling at receivers, by yelling at Garrett etc he tries to deflect criticism.
By choosing to go Air Coryell instead of Ground Chuck Knox he tries for the glory but keeps failing. That is what I meant.
For romo to verbally put himself above the team is nuts. He would not take that chance. But he takes lots of chances on the field, at the last second, in the last quarter. That is a gunslinger. But a failed one so far.

This may be accurate but keep in mind he will be finishing his 7th full season as a fulltime starter. ALL of these years he has been coached by Garrett. Perhaps that is why his game iQ is the same as Garretts. What could he have been if had all this time under Sean payton? Need a real coach. 7 years of on the job training for Garrett is way too many!

NJ22.- You speak the Truth. When you are coached by Ronald McDonald for 7 years then you start to think like Ronald McDonald the Clown. Jerry should have fired Garrett last year and backed up the Brinks Truck at Sean Payton house in Dallas and we would not be stuck with a Clown for a Head Coach.

They do not matter. It is your affirmation, your love, your indulgence, your affinity, your encouragement and your friendship that really matters.

But I've got a job to do, too. Where I'm going, you can't follow. What I've got to do, you can't be any part of, 5Stars. I'm no good at being noble, but it doesn't take much to see that the problems of two little people don't amount to a hill of beans in this crazy world. Someday you'll understand that.:)

I have no idea what this post means? Get back to how Romo sucks, maybe I can understand where you are coming from.

LOL. Angry and lacking in cinematic quote smarts. (Someone help the man with the quote)
Quit hatin' me. You know you are only trying to get my attention.

Someone need a hug.
For your information, Romo don't suck. He just needs to work on reading defenses (i.e. double coverage), footwork (thowing off of one foot) and he need a plausible game plan. That's all.

He can't have all that, remember? He is uncoachable.

I believe the title was: Is Romo uncoachable?

He might be uncoachable. Pesky words like "might" will git you ever time. But there might still be time for him to learn and grow.:rolleyes:

Romo has been transcending for years now. Do not blame Romo. I would say he is trying to do too much but considering the pathetic state of this team, that just isn't possible.
When Sparano was here and Payton was helping Parcels call the plays..

even then..

.Romo was described as a Coach Killer by Parcells.

So even with all of that talent around Romo..

he still never understood how to win.

I have long been a Romo supporter. But it is clear that he will never be a winner. If this team fails to make the playoffs again this year, it has to be blown up. How many years can a team get in a situation at the end of the year where if you win you are in. If you lose you are out. People want to point to the philly game a few years back, but that was a completely different scenario. If we lost, we would still have made the playoffs, just not win the division.

If we don't make the playoffs, that makes 3 years in a row where we had a chance to get in but failed in the last game. Romo has played poorly in the previous two.

I found an article about Romo and his game last week. Lots of people are blaming Garret and the playcalling, as well as the defense. What gets lost in all this is are the opportunities we missed out on because Romo simply could not hit the open man. If he throws the ball accurately, we put up over 50 in that game and nobody is questioning the play calling. Everyone would be saying how we did a good job of stepping on the throat when we had a team on the ropes.

I agree we should have ran a lot more in the second half, but the plays were there to be made.... Tony simply missed them over and over again.

?

And let me say that I posted something earlier this week saying that WHEN A QB HAS A 23-POINT LEAD THE EXPECTATION IS THAT THE DEFENSE COULD AT LEAST HOLD THE OPPONENT TO 22 POINTS.
.

of course, you throw in the 10 that we scored and the defense had to hold them to 32...ummmmm, not so much
