Jerry on the Ticket

[Eddie]

It looks like I was wrong! Mr. Happy did acknowledge a post!

Normally he just comes in, takes a dump, then leaves...

Typical....

I'm on lunch break.

 

[Doomsday101]

lol.

How am I being negative?

I'm not supporting Bledsoe, nor am I endorsing Romo.

But excuse me if I have my doubts. If that's negative to you, then lo siento.

I'm sure you were really positive when Clint Stoerner was slinging it out there also.

Yep, be positive and ignore all facts.

Because you are lumping Romo in with guys who were all failures. In the end Romo could be another dud we don't know but then again he could show himself to be the real deal.

Oh, I did not know that...

I bet your food tastes like crap, huh?

 

[jazzcat22]

Says Romo's accuracy and ability to make the decision to go to the right player is very, very good. His arm is plenty strong. His arm is as strong as Tom Brady's. He's simply got to get over making a play where one just isn't there.

Wow, it always seemd to me TR's arm strength was a little questionable. I don't mean weak, but not prototypicasl strong. Hopefully they are right and I am wrong. We'll see. That's why I am sitting here at lunch typing this, and not out there coaching. :laugh2:

They weren't all duds. Hogeboom went on to play well on a bad Indy team. Pelluer went on to beat the crap out of us in KC.

Collier went to Canada?

Honestly, what are our expectations for Romo? It's not his fault we're in the situation, I place the blame on management.

I think our dreams of finding the next Jake Delhomme/Tom Brady are worn pretty thin.

 

[Doomsday101]

Hold it ... what's wrong with comparing him to Hogeboom, Pelluer, and Collier? Heck, they came in with higher pedigrees, and more experience than Romo. They even went on to have average careers.

Where a guy gets drafted means nothing what you do when you get your chance does mean something and this is Romo shot. I have seen more 1st rd Qb who have been bust than the ones who actually make it. As for comparing him to those guy they were all failures and no none had average careers they were all bust who never did much of anything as a starting QB. I'm clearly not stating that Romo is the next great QB I don't know what is ahead for Romo and this team I am very interested to find out. I'll hold off any judgement based on the only thing that matters and that is how he plays

Worn thin? Tony's the only opportunity we've had to find our Delhomme/Brady. He hasn't even started a game yet. How could we be worn thin?

I'm "not" supporting Bledsoe, "nor" am I endorsing Romo.

Now, this is just classic! If that is not a negative, then I don't know what is!

THEN, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

Stop making sense. Let Eddie enjoy his lunch and moaning.

In my eyes they were all duds and none lasted long after leaving Dallas. My expectation of Romo? none at this stage good or bad. I think the kid has some talent and has the ability to make plays. I also relize he tends to make impulse plays that can hurt you and how he combats that will play a big part in him making it or not making it. As for blaming management I have no reason to blame them Romo has been with us for 4 years and has shown enough progress in the eyes of the coach and organization to still be here and getting a shot. Unlike you I don't have a problem with Jerry or Bill, I know Jerry has done things I don't always agree with and he has done things that have helped this organization get 3 titles since he has owned this team and that is a lot more than I have seen out of the majority of owners in the NFL

And that right there is what sepearates the men from the boys when it comes to being an NFL QB (or any level, really). Vastly more important than arm speed and height. Some people think it can be taught, and maybe it can for some, but others seem to have an innate feel for it from Day 1. But you can't clock it with a stop watch and you can't can't measure it with a measuring tape, so scouts really don't know what to do with it. Which is why QB's drafted in the first round, even top 10 picks, tend to bust at such a phenomenonally high level.

I agree...a rocket arm means nothing if it comes with a .10 cent head

Inman, I agree 100% with you on this point.

A QB also has to have sufficient arm strength, which Romo has proven to me he has, (in fact I would consider it a good arm, not Favreish, but plenty of arm strength), but those other qualities are the ones that make the great QBs like Brady.

 

[CrazyCowboy]

ROMO sure has all of us excited about our new possibilities.

 

[InmanRoshi]

To me the "impulse throws" have more to do with poise than decision making. He's smart. He runs the offense efficiently. When he has time to throw, he makes good decisions and delivers clean and crisp throws to open WR's. Its when he gets rattled or is in the clutch of defenders that he starts making the sandlot plays.

Wait, are we talking about Romo or Bledsoe?

It's deja vu' all over again!

I agree but that is where Romo has to learn that even taking a sack at times is better than just throwing it up from grabs. Taking a sack will not cost you the game but throwing ints will. I expect the Panthers to test Romo and bring a lot of heat and how Tony responds will determine if Carolina backs off or not.

I completley disagree. It's not pressure that causes him to make bad decisions. He often makes great decisions with pressure and makes poor decisions without. He simply tries to make plays that aren't there. I guess it's a case of being too confident in his abilities.

I thought his arm strength looked fine every time I see him. Didn't he score really high on the velocity test they do at the combine? I thought that was posted here. Arm strength has nothing to do with being able to heave the ball 65 or 70 yards in the air, and all about the 15 yard out on a line. He can, and has, shown he makes that throw.

 

[Pine Needle]

During the game, he threw a pass that I believe no one else would've tried. But he made it for a completion right between the fingers of two different defenders! I think that it was a pass to Witten.

Good to see Witten back in the offense.

Yeah, I saw that pass. It was a beauty, and its all in the timing of the throw. That, plus he was probably nervous as heck from being tossed into that game in the heat of the battle. Maybe he saw the defenders, and maybe not. Game speed is 3x as fast as practice speed.
