PFT: Romo says he'll be a better leader

[Clove]

Before Romo works on his leadership issues, I'd like for him to work with his receivers on cohievsiveness, work on accuracy and decision making.

Then you can work on the other meaningless stuff. If you win, no one cares if you're a leader or not.

Those can actually be the same thing.

Romo is hitting on over 60% of his passes 1 of the tops in the NFL, I agree he has to do better handling the ball but I think some of the criticism of Romo is pretty tough considering he is still one of the top ranked QB's in the NFL despite missing some game

romo has made it clear he is on medication with this stupid decision to come out and say this now because of what troy aikman said the other day.very stupid man

Romo needs to grow the hell up!

Sorry for the cuss word. And if he does get his **** togeather, he might know what it takes to be the QB of the Cowboys!

ROMO SAYS HE’LL BE A BETTER LEADER

Posted by Mike Florio on January 22, 2009, 9:49 a.m. EST
In the wake of stinging criticism from former Cowboys quarterback Troy Aikman, current Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo says that he’ll become a better leader.

“I think leadership sometimes comes with your ability to perform and your personality,” Romo told Todd Archer of the Dallas Morning News. ”And some of it comes with experience. In a lot of ways, I think I’ve gotten to the point where I’ve gained experience.

“I’m definitely going to take a more active approach with that as we move forward from last year to this season. I’ll be very excited to get back out there and be with the guys and figure out a way to improve and get better and do the things we need to do to win. Period.”

The more appropriate ending to that quote would have been “question mark,” since no one really knows whether any attempt by the Cowboys to change from within is going to make a damn bit of difference. Sure, Giants coach Tom Coughlin changed dramatically from one season to the next when he faced certain termination if his team didn’t perform more effectively. But, as we see it, it’s far easier for a guy who’s known to be a relentless hardass to ease up a bit than it is for milquetoasts like Romo and coach Wade Phillips to transform into Joe Montana and Vince Lombardi.

That said, there’s still hope for Romo. As Aikman pointed out earlier in the week during a radio visit with Michael Irvin, Romo’s unconventional route to the job of NFL starting quarterback might mean he’ll need more time to grow into the intangible aspects of the job.

“I think maybe things happened so quickly for Tony in terms of obscurity to all of a sudden national spotlight that he hasn’t fully grasped what being the Cowboys quarterback is all about,” Aikman said, via the Dallas Morning News. “And you don’t go to Cabo the week before a playoff game. You just don’t do it. “To say, ‘I don’t worry about perception,’ you better worry about perception because it is a big part of making it through some very difficult times.”

Aikman’s right, and we have a feeling that this kind of stuff would have been constantly drilled into Romo’s head if Bill Parcells were still the head coach of the Cowboys.

Or if Wade Phillips weren’t.

my note: we shall see

Hey Tony,

Most dallas cowboys fans are from MISSIOURI......

If he does, great.

If he doesn't, oh well.

He's got 60 million reasons to be content with where he is at.

I know! That pisses me off, too!

Show me some money, Romo!

While working out today, on the Flat Screens that were showing ESPN, all you saw was "TONY ROMO SAYS HE NEEDS TO BE A BETTER LEADER".

I didn't have access to the audio, but no doubt ESPN was putting a negative slant on it.

Tony Romo should just shut up and let his play do his talking. If he was offended by Troy Aikman's comments and felt he needed to respond, he should do so in private with Troy Aikman or start leading by example.

I thought I read an article or audio clip where Jerry Jones has placed a gag order on everyone and all information is suppose to flow through the PR Department?

I don't see how saying he'll try to be a "better leader" is a bad thing. Sure it's just words & he NEEDS to show it on the field but at least now he's starting to get what it is he NEEDS to do instead of just brushing it off & doing things HIS WAY.

If Romo could spend 10 minutes with Tim Tebow, he'd be a better QB for it.


Wish Romo had the heart/humbleness to do that.

True that my friend, true that


Tebow bless you

 

[Vintage]

True that my friend, true that


Tebow bless you

Why, thank you.

You are a good Tebowian.

 

[Yoshimitsu]

Tebow is a good person.

BUT

He will be a terrible NFL QB.

 

[BigDFan5]

Why, thank you.

You are a good Tebowian.

I am a better person for being in the same stadium as him. I only wish I could meet him!

Bow your heads.

Let us pray.


Our Tebow, who art in Florida.
Hallowed by thy name.
Thy Gators come. Thy will be done.
On the gridiron as it is in heaven.
Give us our daily Tebow.....

Until he shows discipline and all that good stuff at practice and in games, he won't get the respect from his teammates. I think it's empty rhetoric.

If you guys can't remember or don't realize how much better Romo made this team when he returned, injured, to the starting lineup, then there's no hope for any of you, ever. You're all more or less dead to me.

Anything would be better than what we had when he was out. Get a competent backup in place, we might be amazed that the dropoff was not nearly as significant. If you don't realize that, then there's no hope for you, ever.

The guy needs to play better, but the team has so many more significant problems that are less visible and more important, it's a shame we spend so much time talking about superficial hearsay.

You are correct. He does need to play better and this team does have significant problems. The thing is, these problems do partially include him if you pay any credence at all to the information that is being thrown out there. It is crystal clear that you don't believe a bit of it. Obviously others do not have the level of supreme confidence that you do that it is all "superficial nonsense".
