Romo: An objective analysis!

[Darkhound]

Ok guys, we cant deny it, we cant cover the sun with a finger, this is happening, and we are all witnesses! Romo is on the rise and is being the center of attention, or at least starting to.

What I want to do here, is expose some ideas, leaving our emotions, and love for the Cowboys aside for a few moments.

After seeing yesterdays performance by Romo, I CANNOT deny myself the level of excitement and hope this is brining. To think that the seek for a franchise QB is finally over, and that it would come from the most odd and bizzar way, makes it even more special.

But, I cannot think that this is just TOOOOO good to be true. My point is, to see what you guys have to tihnk about similar situations from other teams and players, and try to compare them with Romo.

Even though every player, team undergoes different situations etc, it would still be interesting to see some examples. I will mention a few that come to my mind and see what you guys think.

Thanks....

1. Ryan Leaf - I honestly dont know the whole story behind this guy, but as far as I know, PLEASE correct me if I am wrong, there was alot of Hype and hope behind this guy. We all know the outcome... he never made an impact to the league, for several reasons, attitude, injuries etc etc etc/

2. Trent Dilfer - some people liked him, some did not. But he was also a Super Bowl winner at a time and he is gone long gone. What happened?

3. Kurt Warner - Simple fact here, and perhaps the most close example to
Romo. He was undrafted and he was pulling BIG numbers. He was a Football Fantasy gold mine, and even won a super bowl. What happened? Well, bulger... lack of poise ? You tell me

4. Kitna - Same thing. good games. good start, never fully developed.

5. Eli Manning - IM MY VERY HONEST opinion, I think this is the MOST overrated QB today. Just being Peyton's brother, etc etc made this soap opera. I thinki he is good but not that good. And recently, people are starting to talk and question him.

6. Aaron Brooks - Seemd ok, good guy, was pulling good numbers... and then what?

And for lats, we have our ROMO, good start, AMAZING numbers, good attitude, good momentum, promising. Which leads me to ask me, and you guys the following?

1. Will he be what he is showing us now for seasons to come?
2. Will he come back to earth and be just another guy in the bunch?
3. Will he drift in mediocerness and fade away with time and eventually leave the team?
4. Will he rise as the NEW QB that will mark era on our rich history?
5. DiD anyone, ANYONE of you here, saw hope in guys like Quincy Carter, Chad Hutchinson or Henson? Be honest!
6. If ROMO was that that that THAT good, why didnt Parcells bring him earlier? They saw him on pre season, they saw him at training camp! WHAT happened? why not before? Was Romo NOT that good, and they were not sure to let him play?
7. Was Romo just the PERFECT backup they wanted to have, just in case they didnt find a good draft QB next year?
8. They Held him for a reason, and they didnt let him go for a reason. But there are still doubts in my mind?

I have learned, throught the years to be objectvie. I would like to see your points of view

Thanks

Many, many, many props to Romo... but you know what... he has a GREAT team behind him... he has some of the best WR's in the game, TE, very good backs.... so while his making good decisions, throws and extending plays.... he has ALOT of good help. They are making his life, early start of his career easy.

I believe he had most of the physical tools.... it was mental... lets face it... not everyone likes to be hounded after losses and he couldnt take it.

2. Trent Dilfer - some people liked him, some did not. But he was also a Super Bowl winner at a time and he is gone long gone. What happened?

Trent was a career backup that happened to start LOL... he stepped in the Ravens poo and got lucky... a bus driver


3. Kurt Warner - Simple fact here, and perhaps the most close example to
Romo. He was undrafted and he was pulling BIG numbers. He was a Football Fantasy gold mine, and even won a super bowl. What happened? Well, bulger... lack of poise ? You tell me

You cant deny what he did short term. Injuries age and take away his threats and he was done. Unlike a Brady that got it done with whoever was in there.

4. Kitna - Same thing. good games. good start, never fully developed.

Not sure... seems when you expect something from him thats when they fall. Could be a product of not having a good coaching staff and team around him for most of his career.

5. Eli Manning - IM MY VERY HONEST opinion, I think this is the MOST overrated QB today. Just being Peyton's brother, etc etc made this soap opera. I thinki he is good but not that good. And recently, people are starting to talk and question him.

Eli is good. Never will be Payton. I am sure he doesnt want to be. He is a good QB. He lost his weapons. Its easy to call him a bust. But I dont believe he is. With that said... he may not have "it" mentally.


6. Aaron Brooks - Seemd ok, good guy, was pulling good numbers... and then what?

Ughh! Guy was always horrible.

And for lats, we have our ROMO, good start, AMAZING numbers, good attitude, good momentum, promising. Which leads me to ask me, and you guys the following?

I think Romo is real deal. He explained yesterday that his success if because he practices and studies so much because he wants to give himself the best chance to play well and win. That mentality is rare. The guy is probably watching giants film right now LOL

I was just ball breaking bro

I think the biggest reason this is hard to believe is because we have had crap as far as a QB since aikman left. Bledsoe was close but he never turned the corner we needed him to. It just seems too good to be true. I don't have a clue how he will turn out, but man he has made this one helluva fun team to be a fan of this season.

 

[notherbob]

To me, Romo resembles a cross between Staubach and Longley but not really like either one. Though he has the Moxie of Unitas, and he kinda reminds me a little of Brady, he is unlike any other player I have ever seen. His playing style is unique to him.

Sometimes when upstarts come into the league they get corraled but other times they never get negated and the game has to accommodate them, like Roger, Montana, Elway, Peyton and maybe Tony Romo.

It's been fun watching him grow up and hoping all the time to see more of him and now that we are seeing more of him, it still makes me want to see more.

I admit it, I have become a Romo Sapian - Thank God Almighty, I'm out of the closet at last. It feels clean and free to admit it.

 

[Darkhound]

I have to admist also that I am becomming a ROMOSAPIEN as well!

Its better than being a Romo-sexual

Bledsoe has the same exact team behind him, so by all means Bledsoe should be in the Hall Of Fame...unless it's really that Romo is making this team great and not the other way around.

Until Romo takes the Cowboys to a Super Bowl win, I'll reserve comment about him being most like Brady and Warner.

But those two examples do fit.

Warner's decline had more to do with injuries and becoming gunshy because of all those hits he took.

Remember, the Run and Gun offense left the Rams quarterback without much protection. Warner would complete a pass, but he wouldget smack around a lot too. Those shots took their toll on him and also led to his injuries.

Now that the refs are even more protective of the quarterback, you're not likely to get the same "shellshock" effect as quarterbacks of previous generations experienced.

Or it could have been that Bledsoe was holding the team back. A weapon means nothing if there's no one to fire it.

Jeff

I think its both.... giving Romo a little more credit though.... it ALWAYS starts and ends with the QB

 

[Darkhound]

There were some very good points made.

Bledsoe and Romo had the same team, they had the same weapons, and the outcome is totally different.

what would this game's score would have been if Bledsoe were on the field? I seriously think that is Romo's mobility that is getting things done.

Let's not forget that not becuase Romo has mobility means that we need not to improve our OL

 

[Scotman]

grammer police!!!!

It's "grammar" not "grammer." You know, if you're going to correct someone, it's best not to make a mistake yourself.

 

[Darkhound]

Well back to the point.

How many of you, of US, see Romo as the established QB, once we play our first home game in our new stadium!

Sorry but Romo Sapien is yesterday's buzzword. Today you have to rebaptize yourself as a Romolian.

 

[vicjagger]

You're all a bunch of Romophiles.

 

[Aikbach]

Friends, Cowboy fans, Romons lend me your Super Bowl tickets!

 

[Darkhound]

I wonder what would have been of Romo if he would have been in...... The raiders, or in Arizona.....
