FEATURED My thoughts post Eagles game

[the_h0wey]

Well, Romo did throw 2 INT's today, so maybe he does need to be replaced. The guy is clearly losing it and looks like he does not know what to do anymore with the ball. He looks tired, slow, and cannot seen to make the right reads.

He easily could have had at least 3 more TD's if his head was in the game! Romo was lucky that the refs gave him this game.

We didn't keep Romo upright the last 2 weeks. That is why his stats havent been great. The Demeco Ryan pick was clearly not his fault.

hilarious about Romo. But then some people have trouble with reality. The OP is one.

I will add my comments onto this thread...Since I am often critical of the head coach, GM and QB, it is only right that I give credit too. No way did I think the team would go into Philly and win this game. Good job by all. As for Romo...I would so much rather have him do what he did yesterday (make a good throw for a TD to go up 2 scores in Q4) than do the opposite...which woulda been have a great game but have a costly turnover in Q4. We can pick apart some things that need to be improved like penalties, but this is one time where the team collectively surprised me. I was totally wrong about this game and I give credit to the head coach, def coord and everyone else. THIS was a great win.

My remark on Romo had nothing to do with his game. I posted on his health and something being off with him. But posters on this forum just hijack threads at random. today it happened to be a mod and thats sad. Because nowhere in my post did i mention his stats or his game i just see something off with his throws and i was wondering if there was more to this back surgery.

I can guarantee you he isnt going anywhere next yr, But the following idk about that. There is no way Dallas can take on that 25 mil salary. But like i said theres a clause in there that if he's on the team the 3rd day of the league season he gets 7.5 mil guaranteed. Now if Dallas can win a SB this yr i think the guy stays. But what if he has a end of the yr like he's been having all along. Id take signing Dez, Smith and Carter over having romo QBn my team any day. Aslong as there is somebody capable waiting. But this team is never going to know unless they act. Even if romo is on the team in 2015 they need to have somebody in waiting. This is the yr i think they need to go after a top QB. Because there are plenty. And youre right i realistically think he's here 2 or 3 more yrs too. But if its the same ole Romo come 2015 i think he could be out.

Sure they can. Like Elway. Restructure for less 'now' and pay me later. Most outside of Denver were under the 'assumption', John did a fabulous thing in restructuring for less pay so the organization could afford to pay others. Nope. He just received all his money at a later date............after football.

This is an off-base and weirdly personal reaction to my pointing out that the QB we just extended to a $100M dollar deal prior to the season is not, in fact, nearing retirement.

It's ok to just say you overstated things a bit in order to make a negative point.

Actually it was a spot on reaction to your personal reaction to my post,,, 2-3 years is 'nearing retirement' for a 33 yr old QB, something you consciously or sub-consciously chose to take issue with just to make a negative comment to my post. I don't mind the debates, but it would be nice if they were a little more substantive and not just a thinly veiled poking with a stick.

It was mentioned before the game and by Romo after the game that wind was a major factor in the QBs' abilities to throw downfield yesterday.

He's only completing 68.3% of his passes this year. Inaccurate bum!

2-3 years is 'nearing retirement' for a 33 yr old QB,

It isn't accurate to compare Romo to typical NFL QBs on age because he didn't see the field (and start taking a pounding) until he was 26. You aren't talking about a Troy Aikman or David Carr that started at age 22 and took a physical beating immediately. Also Romo probably takes less of a pounding than a classic pocket QB also because of his mobility.

Well, you only get to control one side of the debate, and an argument can only get so substantive when I'm addressing an imaginary figure you pulled out of nowhere.

I guess it's worth noting that 100 starts = 6.25 seasons in the NFL and that three more years after this one would be another 57 games, not counting any potential playoff appearances. Roughly ~60% of what we've seen to-date.

I do wonder, if I were to try to make the argument that 'the Jason Garrett era is just getting started' or is 'nearing getting underway, really' how much longer 3 years would suddenly get.

So with that line of reasoning we can extrapolate that a QB who doesn't start playing until he's 35 can play until he's 50! Awesome, who'da thunk all that stuff about aging and strength and recovery from injuries was just a bunch of whooey! lol

The very top of his helmet hits the very bottom of Dez's helmet. Is that a penalty? I guess. But at full speed that's a really tough call. The refs don't get the luxury of DVR. Now, I'm defending them on that single play, beyond that they were utter trash especially on that no call when that guy jumped on Tony.

The refs would have called that if it was there was a Star on the offender's helmet.
Guaranteed.
Place a bet and book it.
