***Rip on Romo Thread***

[craig71]

In those development years we'll win exactly as many SBs as will will with Romo with the big difference being we might have a future. Romo is not the future he's a 31 year old QB who keep repeating the same mistakes and never learns. We can settle for mediocrity with Romo for another 4-5 years or we can suck a few years and potentially be great down the road. Either way Romo ain't gonna be here forever so at some point we're going to have to go trough that whole process. Might as well be now if you ask me

I'm not all that sure that you struggle if you manage the game correctly for a young QB. As of late there have been some young QB's who have hit the ground running and have found success quite early in there careers.

How much heart break can a fan base take because of one guy for so long ??

Damn that fool for not having the ability to switch to game manage/bus driver mode when he has a HUGE lead.

Also the OC

 

[CATCH17]

The signs have been there since day one with Romo.

Some of you would not listen.

It was hard to because Romo presented so much hope.

If the guy could ever be consistent than Dallas would be great.


But he's not so we're not.

 

[CATCH17]

What would you have called the Mavericks prior to April last year?

Chokers.. Because thats what they had been...

They did something about it though.

 

[Hoofbite]

Count me among those that is neither upset, nor surprised, by the collapse.

I'm disappointed but not really all that upset.

 

[ChopBlock]

I enjoyed the first half much better than the second one, but what are we gonna do? Romo usually has a couple of games per year that will make you wonder what he was thinking. As fans, we can only hope that he got his two albatrosses out of the way early circa 2009.

Franchise record 4th quarter collapse week one and now franchise record breaking 24 point collapse in week 4.

Yeah, no biggie. Good thing we got those out of the way.

Glad you can admit things arent entirely set in stone then...

 

[tupperware]

That is very good news...

20-17 now and Giants have the ball

Great signature image. When will you add your week four picks?

 

[CalCBFan]

I don't think Romo really cares if we win or lose. I think he is solely focused on trying to overcome some adversity at a particular moment in the game. This is why he makes what appear to be boneheadded throws. And I think he feels as if being up 27-3 is a good time to try and squeeze some of these things in there.

Another part of me thinks that when he is up 14 points or so, he tends to think the game is in hand and (like Jerry) whatever he tries will work. Unfortunately, I think the rest of the organization starts to think "here we go again" and that when the collapse starts. Not to mention the shift of momentum to the other team.

I also keep going back to the last days of Bledsoe when Romo wanted to come late to camp trying to qualify for the US Open. I mean how much could this game and this franchise mean to a guy who is more concerned about golf than gettin himself in a position to win if needed in a game.

I posted in the game thread that this organization at the very least needs a shrink, and it starts w/ Romo. He really has a had time dealing w/ success. If I were Jason Garrett I would try the following: The next time we are doing well in a game and have at least 14 points in the bank, bench Romo and play McGee. It sounds crazy, but it will give us a chance to find out what he can do, and he will (being a non-prolific QB w/o lots of stats) be far more careful w/ the ball than one who does have lots of stats.

It is time to pay the price for mis-management of Romo's contract, make the best deal for him we can get, and let him have success w/ another team. He just isn;t going to live up to what's expected of the Dallas Cowboys, i.e. win a Championship...

 

[JonJon]

Honestly, when Romo threw the first int and Carpenter of all people returned it for a TD, how many had the thought that we would somehow lose this game? I know I did, but then I thought the lead was too big to overcome. I was wrong.

 

[EPL0c0]

What's frustrating is that this wasn't a problem the entire game.

1st half, Romo looked very good. He was making smart decisions, guys were getting open.

2nd half... either Romo got wild, Garrett's playcalling change and/or the defense made adjustments that the offense couldn't/didn't pick up.

 

[CATCH17]

I'm disappointed but not really all that upset.

Yep.

You just gotta learn to have this mentality when rooting for the Cowboys.


Hopefully it will all change at some point. We've took our lumps.

Craig

Still don't think that's something we should expect even though it seems to be happening a lot more these days

 

[BlueStar3398]

Yep. He blew it big time. I was pretty dang mad after the game.

I'm not jumping off the cliff yet. I still think they will bounce back.

Was Dez in the second half of the game? Didn't see him much?

 

[ChopBlock]

Count me among those that is neither upset, nor surprised, by the collapse.

Count me among those who can't wait til both Jerry and Romo are no longer associated with the Cowboys.

 

[panther1012]

...I'm just soooo tied of this. He first broke my heart in 2006 and it was really then that I began to wonder if he had what it took for us to get back to the glory days. I really have lost great respect for JJ for letting this team be brought to the level of satisfaction that some Cowboys fans have towards our current team.

We have become happy with average perfomance with great potential. We have a owner that has not done a good job as the GM of the franchise and there is little hope for change there. We have an owner that has brought, hook, line & sinker, the "potential" of Romo and , up to this point, has refused to admit that maybe Romo is not the answer at QB. He has re-signed Tony to an extension last year or so that will lock him in with the Cowboys for at least 5 more years. I'd be honest with you; this fact has me depressed because it means that we will have more years of games like this.

Tony will continue to put up great stats but until the owner or coaching staff put some reins on him, he will continue to make rookie like decisions. For goodness sake, this man is a 6 yr veteran and a 5 year starter and he makes some of the stupidest mistakes over and over. Some of his throws can not be explained and he does not seem to learn from his mistakes.

He would be a much better QB for this team if he kept his throws under 25 per game. When he throws the ball alot, it's not good for the Cowboys because he will always take an uneccessary risk with the ball mutliple times per game. If he was a rookie or a 2nd year player, i could except his play much easier. But for him to be a veteran QB, I fully convinced that this is what it will be with him.

It's kinda depressing because I'll have to live with this for the next few years without excerting too much faith because this kinda stuff hurts and I'm sick of it and I don't like how I feel after having my hopes dashed over and over and over. I'd rather have a steady conservative 200 yd per game QB who throws a TD or two every game than a guy who normally throws for 300+ yards, a couple of TD and a couple of interceptions per game who also makes 5-7 decisions per year that cost my teams a game.

I'm exhausted... :bang2:

funny coming from an OU fan

 

[Aikmaniac]

Hmmmm found a way to win the game instead of choke it away.

Not a knock on Stafford. More of a knock on our team.

 

[Romo_To_Dez]

We need a real QB.

Rodgers has 5 td's and it's only in the 3rd.

And he doesn't turn the ball over.

Isn't blind to a Defender standing right in front, the second time first Revis and then Bobby where Romo couldn't see the defender standing right in his throwing lane.


I have no idea what he sees Rodgers much better than Romo, could get his second SB win before Romo even gets close to getting his first.

I have tried to stand by Romo and defend him but he makes it hard at times and makes his defenders and supporters look like fools for believing in him
