Recent Short Video says,"Don't blame Romo".

[rcaldw]

That list would be extremely short compared to the ones that have voiced the exact opposite.

A really bad idea, if you're trying to bash Romo.

Generally (not 100% always! but the vast majority of the time) the higher level the knowledge about the position, the stronger the support for him becomes.

I think sometimes the whole thing is skewed based on political correctness also. What in the world do you think Troy, for example, is going to say? People try to quote Troy to prove that Romo is better than Aikman was. That is just as silly. Ever heard any ex-player with an ounce of class pronounce himself better than the guy currently occupying the position?

As I've already said, I think Romo is a good player. Not as good as some on here believe him to be, surely not as poor as his critics believe.

More hogwash. Being overrated and not being good enough to lead a team to a championship is 2 different things. And his being overrated is due to all the attention he gets from the idiots in the media. Both POSITIVE and NEGATIVE.

Take it up with them. I wouldn't rank him that way.

 

[Rockport]

I think you are missing my point. What I was responding to is the idea that NO ONE who is knowledgeable could doubt him. That's just silly.

If it's silly, then show me a list of NFL personnel or front office people who say he's not capable of being a Super Bowl caliber QB.

Use some common sense, friend. I just gave you one article already. The guy said Romo freaks out in big situations. What do you think he's saying? And if you think ANYONE in the NFL is going to come out and say what you want proof of, PUBLICLY, and attach their name to it (unless the QB's name is Tebow), then you haven't paid attention to the NFL long enough (and I know that you have). No one is ever going to say it publicly. If you want to say that the guy who was cited in the article was a coward, then I might even agree with you. But I think it is more about using some common sense in a very public field of business.

The point is that the evidence shows he really does not freak out the way some seem to think. Not that he has an unblemished record by any means.
But, he's come up very big at the end of many games in very tight situations. The last game he played in comes to mind, for starters.

I would agree with you 100% on the last game in Washington. One of the best clutch performances in our team's history. I wouldn't agree with you on his total body of work, and I think a lot of the statistical apologetics are cherry picking. But that's just me, and I SURE don't want to argue about it.

If Romo is so bad, then why would he not put his name to his statement? What's he afraid of? Again, so you have a couple of "unidentified front office personnel" making this claim. Whereas the opposite is much more prevalent.

I think the great majority of NFL personnel people think Romo is good enough and the rest of the team isn't.

I would agree with that Rcaldw.

Everytime I see talk of what NFL personnel (mainly front-office, scouts, etc) have to say about Romo is essentially is a variation of the following: "Heck of a player, incredible playermaker, etc -- however, seems to lose his cool in big games".

It's sometimes alternatively stated as "Incredible player, however, he'll break your heart".

I'm not even saying I believe it 100%, however, that's what I have seen over recent years.

The only thing I blame Romo for is not going into Jerry's office and putting his foot down and saying, get this clown HC/OC out of Valley Ranch.

BTW, the logic is pretty flawed. A defense could have done it's job and an offense would still have to score in the last minute to win a game. In fact, a defense could have done it's job while the offense continued to flounder for a whole game. This would mean it would come down to a last minute drive.

If we take Payton Manning as an example, the guy runs his own offense and calls his own plays and his teams consistently were blowing out other teams across the board. He wouldn't need that many 4th quarter comebacks to win a game. Additionally, Dallas record is normally good against teams that are below .500, while a team led by Peyton is most probably good across the board. So Romo's comebacks would come against teams that are scrubs, while Peyton would probably be posting comebacks against better teams, while they consistently blow out scrub teams.

Other than that, the problem with Romo is the scrub in charge, Opie...

That has been the jargon of half of the NFL channel as well as ESPN...you saying here with a straight face, it all is always target on stuff?

Funny stuff...you have to be kidding here. Does anyone go into Jerry's office for any conversation that doesn't involve pay?

Jerry would numb their sense in no time...but I'd like to be a fly on THAT wall.
