Parcells QB Commandments for Romo...

[Hoofbite]

Romo is the QB of the Dallas Cowboys and has a good personality. That's why he's a "celeb," not anything he tried to do.

Yeah, probably has nothing to do with the women he chooses.

#5 must have been an issue. Felix, Choice, Bennett, RW were new to the team ... Stanback and Austin were in and out.

I'd say he's pretty good at 1.

He really needs to check out 3 and 11 though.

Most definately!!

#7 - He might take a lesson or two from Philip Rivers, who throws the ball away in the gayest manner possible.

It was really weird when he kept throwing it at his receivers feet.

And I may be the minority, but I know a few QBs that would've played through that pinkie injury - and any following injury that may have been sustained from playing hurt.

And our team would have performed even more poorly as a result. First you say that it's "about winning", but then you insinuate that a QB that chose not to play because he felt his injury impaired the team's chances to win doesn't have "heart" or "drive" or whatever the word-du-jour so many on the board want to use to put forth the view that our players should be 100% about football 100% of the time. (you know, just like they are with their jobs)

So which is it? Should it be all about victory, or should he try to score brownie points with fans for hurting the team by playing with an injury that devastates his effectiveness?

Could he have made a right choice by you?

God. Threads like this are so embarrassing.

Then take a hike, and don't come back.

Parcells QB Commandments for Romo...
So, your opinion...how do you think Romo is doing on the 11 commandments?



Quarterback commandments:


1. Ignore other opinions – Press or TV, agents or advisors, family or wives, friends or relatives, fans or hangers on - ignore them on matters of football, they don’t know what’s happening here. I love that Joe Simpson as much as his daughter. He said Cabo would relieve the playoff stress. He says he is my friend.

2. Clowns can’t run a huddle – don’t forget to have fun but don’t be the class clown. Clowns and leaders don’t mix. Clowns can’t run a huddle.
I can't help I'm funny. That's why I had been campaigning for no huddle offense all year.

3. Fat QBs can’t avoid the rush – A quarterback throws with his legs more than his arm. Squat and run. You're not seeing me w/o my shirt. T.O. may have trained with Jerry Rice, but he has nothing on my snap, crackle and pop routine!

4. Know your job cold – this is not a game without errors. Keep yours to a minimum. Study. Studying is for nerds. I remember this one final in college, I had my skateboard..whoops, never mnd.

5. Know your own players – Who’s fast? Who can catch? Who needs encouragement? Be precise. Know your opponent. Screw that. Who's throwing the party? Are there hot chicks? Do they know I'm Tony Romo!

6. Be the same guy every day – in condition. Preparing to lead. Studying your plan. A coach can’t prepare you for every eventuality. Prepare yourself and remember, impulse decisions usually equal mistakes. Yeah ok. I'm 67 million dollars richer. YOU try being the same.

7. Throwing the ball away is a good play – sacks, interceptions and fumbles are bad plays. Protect against those. I prefer to live by the seat of my pants. Who wants to be predictable?

8. Learn to manage the game – personnel, play call, motions, ball handling, proper reads, accurate throws, play fakes. Clock. Clock. Clock. Don’t you ever lose track of the clock. I on to this. Didn't you hear me yell, Kill, Kill, Kill? Plus. Jessica bought me a Hello Kitty watch. I'm all set for 2009.

9. Get your team in the end zone – passing stats and TD passes are not how you’re going to be judged. Your job is to get your team in the end zone and that is how you will be judged. Sure it is...My job to get my arse to Hawaii on the NFL's dime!

10. Don’t panic – when all around you is in chaos, you must be the hand that steers the ship. If you have a panic button so will everyone else. Our ship can’t have a panic button. Panic? me? Cmon. I've learned. Now when the rush comes, i throw, duck and yell. " It's up!"

11. Don’t be a celebrity QB – we don’t need any of those. We need battlefield commanders that are willing to fight it out, every day, every week and every season and lead their team to win after win after win.
Have you seen my ears? Heard me sing? Seen my riduculous lack of fashion sense? All I can say is that chicks dig a QB.

See Tony's take and you can agree, disagree or who the hell cares!

I like the commandments. Romo needs to remember to the "Old Man" or the "Godfather".

This team needs a little Parcells in them, but it isn't the "screaming" they need.

They need Bill Parcells' first choice for his offensive coordinator in 2006.
