Not me. I'm not nor ever have been in the "you guys" group that raised him to a HOF level.
Also the fact Romo was changing protection schemes that screw up the offense and caused confusion.I didn't think I'd listen for more than two minutes, but I'm nearly an hour into it LOL.
A few highlights:
* Parcells' implementation of situational practice situations developed a certain mentality within the team
* Few worked as hard as TO. For Crayton, Key and TG taught him how to be a pro. He might be expected only to learn the Z position, but he was taught by the vets before him to "learn everything -- know the game like a QB." He got to a point where he knew the blocking schemes, what all receiver positions were doing, etc.
* He talks about Romo and Witten drawing up plays on the side. Things boiled over in the Pittsburgh loss in (09?) when Romo's pick-six lost the game. He forced it to Witten on a play that was designed to go outside. TO verbally went at Romo on the plane ride home.
* When a receiver starts throwing shade at the QB, they get shipped out of Dallas. Happened to TO, Crayton ... and you see CeeDee doing it now with Dak. "And now his mom is involved" -- or something along those lines.
* Crayton and Holley both talk about how Garrett was a liar. He sabotaged Wade and changed the playbook when Wade was fired.
* Rookie Dez was late to practice, would miss practice, would sleep in meetings, etc. Talks about the infamous "carry my pads" scene with he and Roy. They agree his talent was unreal but he never even attempted to learn routes until the very end of his career when it was too late.
* Dez was a "Jerry pick." When you're a "Jerry pick," there's nothing anyone can do to you.
My spin: Not a good listen if you're fully on the "Buy into us in 2024" train.
My how the mighty have fallen. We’ve resigned ourselves to debating who the better 2-win playoff QB was.
Yeah but you know the deal you are judged by rings not regular season comebacks….
If anyone thinks that an iron fist is the way to coach in today’s NFL, you’re as lost as Jerry. It just doesn’t fly anymore. There are only a few more coaches even in college who can get away with the old school coaching philosophy and mentality. Even in high schools, the best athletes will leave the program and even head to another state if the coaches are too old school. You have to know that, I hope .
Dude was a bum. Was putting up Michael Gallup numbers and dropping passes left and right
He was one.
I can't wait for the Terence Williams podcast with Special guest Noah Brown in 2027 when Prescott is the NFLPA President
TWill was better than most of these guys here, but jesus he had some boneheaded plays, him not goin out of bound in that giants game lol.I can't wait for the Terence Williams podcast with Special guest Noah Brown in 2027 when Prescott is the NFLPA President
Anyone who calls Romo a loser is a hater. That term has never been used to mean “didn’t win or even reach a Super Bowl” or whatever negative criteria is arbitrarily applied offhand to diminish someone because you don’t like him for whatever reason. Also, Romo haters are living in delusion whenever they bring up nonsense about Parcells’ opinion of him:
There's a learning curve for all players and especially QBs
I still like the old Belichick quote that Romo was one of his "football IQ filters" in conversations.
If they thought Romo was a choker or bad, he didn't think they were worth talking to about football.
Of course he was good.2 HOF SB winning coaches giving praise to Romo… What do those 2 losers know? We have people on this board smarter than those 2 old bozo’s.
It was a travesty they didn’t let him compete for his job back. Dak been coddled and protected since he’s been here. I would’ve put everything I owned on Romo to win that job back if given the chance. No doubt in my mind.
According to Pro-football Reference the Cowboys had 6 players named all-pro. TO, Witten, Andre Gurode, Leonard Davis and Flozell Adams on offense and Demarcus Ware on defense.
I’m not on the Romo is a HOFer train. He needed more in the playoffs and he needed at least another 2-3 years. Had he got to compete for the job back in 16 I think he plays another 2-3 years.
Crayton got the football a lot. Way more than a crap WR like him deserved.
