Romo an Emerging Danny White?

[goshan]

Romo reminds me a litte of Danny White (obviously not as good yet).

1. About the same height.
2. Quick release.
3. Quick feet.
4. Likes to improvise.
5. Reluctant to throw the ball away.
6. Moxie.
7. Good rush avoidance and overall pocket presence.
8. Prone to more mistakes than desired because of desire to not give up on a play.

Any one else see it?

danny was a pretty fair punter but mcbriar can flat kill the ball.

I loved me some Danny White. To this day, I don't understand the hate for this man. He didn't win us the big one, but he gave us a heck of a show. I like the comparison.

Hell No...Tony has a brain...&...arm...and can move...

Drew Pearson isn't caught by a thread after "the catch" and the Cowboys win that game, probably win the SuperBowl, and who knows what would have happened from there. Maybe Danny White is held in the same regard that Montana is held in today.

Romo is definitely faster. The errant snap over his head last night is evidence of that. I loved Danny, but he could throw some boneheaded interceptions at times.

Romo's value would be if he could place kick... The punter spot is locked up.

Yep.. I do remember that.

Please....I don't think so...nothing against Romo...I hope he becomes an adequate NFL starter some day, but Danny White was a highly gifted and highly touted QB who ended up holding many of STaubach's passing records and has been inducted into the college football hall of fame.

I hold Danny White in much higher regard than Romo, and so should most fans...at least until Romo has been a starting QB and broken passing records and led his team to championships.

Well I remember the 'records' and 'the led the team to championships'...he just couldn't win them. And he with some good teams.

I'm sure there are some similarities, but some differences would be swagger and mobility (Romo has more of both). Romo seems smaller - probably because the overall size of NFL players has increased since White played. Certainly White was a better pocket passer.
