NBCDFW Magary: The Trouble With Tony

[Everlastingxxx]

Really? He didn't play well in that Giants game?

Try actually looking back at the games before you make stupid statements like this. That way you won't embarrass yourself....maybe.

I remember the game, very clearly. The Dallas Defense carried the team for weeks and was a big part in winning that game. Regardless, he had games last season where he didn’t play well.

And who are you to say i am embarrassed? About what? You have some serious mental problems.

Idiot writing and then to reinforce the person's stupid theories we have anonymous trolls suggesting even more idiocy quoted as sources of knowledge.
And could people please stop quoting "Rampage" it really defeats the IL.

 

[rexrobinson]

You can't just take 3 games he performed poorly in and add three games in which he completely rocked and assume people will just pass over it and take you for your word.

LOL, this is why you always have and always will be my favorite poster.

If only Tony Romo were glaringly bad. If only he sucked EVERY game, instead of five or six key games each year. It would be so much easier to deal with him. It really would. You could simply demand he be replaced, and then he WOULD be replaced. That’s the nice thing about horrible quarterbacks.

But that’s too easy for Tony Romo. No, Tony has to play a handful of games every year where he looks like an absolute world-beater. Against the Bucs, or any garden-variety filler opponent, Romo displays all the arm strength, mobility, field vision, and ballsy swagger needed to be a championship QB.

And then, there are games like Sunday Night, where Romo looks like a dog trying to ride a surfboard. He’s jittery. He’s sloppy. He’s careless. His final interception of the night was a majestic example of pointless, arrogant, Leafesque brain flatulence. Good quarterbacks don’t huck the ball up in the air like that, throwing their team’s fate aloft, allowing it to come crashing down to Earth so easily. That isn’t something the Peyton Mannings, the Tom Bradys, or even the Matt Ryans of the world do.

The question is, will that component of Tony Romo’s game ever go away? He’s displayed all the characteristics of a good quarterback. He LOOKS the part. But he’s still yet to BECOME a consistently good QB. And it’s fair to start asking if he ever will. Al Michaels asked the question Sunday Night. Will he be Aikman? Or will he be Danny White, good but never good enough?

Hasn’t Romo been playing long enough now that we probably know for sure?
Everyone has an opinion on Romo these days. Tony Dorsett took time out from appearing in idiotic Miller Lite ads to publicly blast him:

“Well, for one thing, I don’t know why on God’s Earth Tony Romo has been anointed a superstar in the National Football League,” Dorsett said. “Tony is very young in his career. Not to say you can’t be young in your career and be a superstar because you’ve got one up there in Minnesota in Adrian Peterson.

“But the thing is this: you have a guy who hasn’t done much and quarterbacks in the National Football League, most of them go through this growing curve. He hasn’t gone through that growing curve, but he was anointed this great player all of a sudden. Now he’s having to live up to that. And obviously Tony has some deficiencies.
​

And Colin Cowherd, who is horrible, went so far as to compare Romo to JaMarcus Russell. Ouch. Our message board patrons were no kinder…

drgrant1912: Sorry folks, but Romo MUST go! He is still WAY to [sic] immature to lead the Dallas Cowboys to anything and I don't think he'll ever rise to the level of the Cowboy's greats. Trust me, if it was my BILLION dollar stadium and he played like he did, he would have been gone before the light were turned out. Enough is enough. Time to turn the page!…

Facebook User: when you put him up against a colt mccoy/bradford skills are there but heart is not. too much money for medicore performance…

anonymous: Tony Romo is not the quarterback to take this team to a ring. Unfortunately, he is becoming more and more of a Danny White, decent enough to give us a chance to win, but again, will never win the big one....

iKNOWitALL: I wish we could blame Simpson but shoot we will just have to chalk up the stupidity to Romo himself.

anonymous: Bill Parcells nailed it when he said Romo will always make that one big mistake every game that will hurt you and just how good does the rest of your team have to be to overcome it? Get used to this...get used to losing big games that count because that's all Romo has done...

harleyman: So how does Romo blame now...Owens is gone, Jessica is gone...His mom?
​

Jerry Jones rushed to Romo’s defense and says the QB has his full support. You do these kinds of things when you’ve invested millions of dollars in Romo and only have Jon Kitna waiting behind him.

Romo’s not going anywhere any time soon. But after yet another big game collapse so early in the season, it’s more than fair for Cowboys fans to start believing that their quarterback is, as he is now, as good as he’ll ever be and no better.

lol....what a joke.

Romos Turnovers would not be as bad, if the D could get 1 or 2 back... the D has no turnovers, thats not NORMAL!


The D is a much Bigger problem... Oh and lets not forget his WRs tend to disappear on 3rd downs!


But lets Blame Tony like the rest of the 15 year girls in Dallas!

 

[Idgit]

In the first Commanders game, the Green Bay game and the Arizona game he had a combined 97 QB rating with just under 300 yards per game and 7 TDs against 2 INTs.

If you throw in that first Philly game, he had combined 102.4 QB rating, with 10 TDs against 3 INTs and over 300 yards per game.

You can't just take 3 games he performed poorly in and add three games in which he completely rocked and assume people will just pass over it and take you for your word.

Pawned by Rampage. Rampage listed 5 games where Romo absolutely sucked last year.

LOL @ you trying to argue that a 102 QB rating over 5 games and 145 passes is anything but spectacular.

Seriously, give it up. The INTs killed us? Then what did the 3-1 TD/INT ratio do for us? Most people would kill for that kind of ratio.

like I said his int during the skins game cost us big time cause we could never catch up. he had good stats that game yet he played average at best. but your gonna use a qb rating to say he played good. if only a qb rating determined how detrimental turnovers are in a game.

This thread is awesome.

 

[jobberone]

Some of you are nuts....and I mean it......to call for Romo's head. For what???.........Kitna. I trust Kitna for a few games but he's not going to win a lot of games for you.....just manage them hopefully.

So McGee?????? LOL.

Who ya gonna call?!

Wait. I know! Let's blow all our games and hope for a miracle in the draft. Better odds than the lottery you say! Yeah, but a crap shoot. Then three years to develop most likely. For every Marino, Ryan and Flacco there are many, many failures and a few who make it, too.

Not to mention he's one of the most talented QBs in the league. It's his mistakes you want to get rid of.....not all of him. Talk about throwing the baby out with the bath water.

If I had a nickle for every fan that called for a coach's or QB's head after a loss.......

 

[ScipioCowboy]

One turnover does not necessarily make a bad game. Romo played well against Washington at home last year. Unfortunately, Garrett's play calling was suspect.

Sunday night, Garrett's play calling was stellar. Unfortunately, Tony played a horrible game. It was a reversal of fortunes of sort.

Take a gander at P. Manning's 4th year....26 TD's to 23 INT's....I'm wondering if that was the year he had like 9 straight games with an INT returned for TD....
His 5th year it was 27 TD's to 19 INT's.....after that it got better.

It took Brees until his 4th year to show what he can do....

Tony doesn't have the same amount of time though. he sat for 4 years and is gonna be 30 soon

Understood....but you don't look at it and say, "Well, so and so was 29 when he did this, so he should as well..". It takes experience. However, Tony is getting to that point where he HAS to show that he has lerned from the previous three years.

 

[jobberone]

No doubt Tony needs a leash.
