Kitna time

[tunahelper]

When a player is hurting your team or unit a coach must do something about it. While the play calling was sloppy I think Garrett was following the advise Jimmy gave about a conservative gameplan, but Romo was unable to execute his throws.
I think we should have pulled Romo yesterday and put in Kitna. Romo's lack of confidence showed and I think maybe he needs to sit and watch. Kitna is not better than Romo, but he may spark an offense and attack the field, instead of being hesistant and stalling drives time after time. In the end Romo may be able come back from a benching and execute.

No.



Romo is bad but we are stuck with him.


Welcome to 8-8

Kitna is worse than Romo.

Jon Kitna is not the answer, he is a backup for a reason.

However, unlike the Parcells Era, I don't believe any of these players actually fear they will lose their job.

Under Parcells, Jon Kitna would have been good enough to at least put some fear in Tony Romo, with regards to being pulled.

Not happening.

Sorry.

No, I remember Johnson last year. This O-line can't protect Romo, they ain't gonna be able to protect Kitna.

He is worse then Romo.

Stuck with Romo, hopefully Romo gets out of this slump. Someone contact Ms. Simpson. Dallas needs her because they need a scapegoat back for Romo's bad play.

:bang2:Mods please delete all start Kitna threads or combine into sticky so all gloom and doomers can talk non-sense with each other. Also add Matt Jones threads with this one. Thanks.

 

[DIAF]

uhm no

 

[big dog cowboy]

I don't think that will happen.

Problem is you don't pull a QB like any other player. You can't put him in 2 games later.

If you pull him that usually means he is done. So you should take your time with that decission.

Of course there are other teams that treat their QB else. But in Dallas it's that way. Especially if the owner thinks he has found his franchise QB. You don't break his neck just because he seems to be in a slump.

And that doesn't mean i like Romo right now or think he is in a slump. I just wanted to explain the big meaning of a decission like this.

 

[Hook'em#11]

Same thing with Bledsoe and Romo a couple of years ago.

Favorite guy is always the back up QB. There is a REASON he is a back up.

Stick with Romo. Until the very last breath of life. After that? See what McGee has and start searching for THE most important part of a winning team IMO. That and linemen, Offense and Defense.

 

[Big Dakota]

I guess i might as well add a huge NO

 

[EPL0c0]

As angry as I am over Romo's poor performance... No. No Kitna.

with RED GENIUS would it have mattered?

Aikman even stated Romo is inaccurate and not playing with confidence, so I dont see how you had any other choice yesterday. Unless you wanted to lose? Romo is not making throws when he has time and there was plenty opportunities missed when he had time. To me that is a sign of a QB not sure of himself and the blame MOSTLY falls with Romo.

 

[Maikeru-sama]

I disagree.

To get Tony Romo's confidence back, you have to really scale down the offense.

Lean more on Tashard Choice, Marion Barber and get Bennett and Witten involved, which should be high percentage completions.

You bench Tony Romo right now with a 2-2 record, he may not get his confidence back this season.

 

[RS12]

No. One game with Kitna at the helm and you will be begging for Romo back.

 

[Gaede]

If Romo continues to play really bad during a game, he should be pulled for that game. Sure I agree with that. Some one needs to hold him accountable.

But to bench him for the season is just giving up.

Please knock off the personal attacks and internet bravado. It is really not needed.

Thanks
