Romo and DMac prove there is no such thing as team chemistry

[65fastback2plus2]

This isn't personal but

A) these threads are only done to incite bs

B) the whole premise is bs. I may not have played in the pros or college but played enough in all sports in HS to know all teams are built on chemistry. Guys aren't robots and some guys can lead. Romo is s great guy but stop acting like we have 13-14 Romo instead of hurt on every hit for 2 years Romo. This disrupts flow.

These threads are ridiculous and embarrassing when a rookie QB is in the MVP talk and we are a #1 seed

Chemistry is needed when there isnt a playbook and plans. Like basketball.

If chemistry matters so much, how come New England can plug in any TE or WR, even no-namers and keep winning at the same pace?

Because they execute the playbook.

Football is vastly more about execution than chemistry.

I didn't say that, but you act like we have a talentless QB that lead us to 13-3. The weapon argument against Dak is absurd. He does have Zeke and Zeke is absolutely a weapon, but Dez has had a below average season, and the rest of the receivers are not world beaters. Please explain what part of this is incorrect.

Where have I ever said Dak was talentless? That's one part you have incorrect. Do you realize who the Patriots trot on the field every week?
They didn't have their star QB for a quarter of the season.
Players don't have to be world beaters, they simply have to do their jobs. Dez has only been a superstar to Dallas fans. IMOP he's never been that special. But when he decides he want's to play he can be great. JG does have these guys doing their job, that wins games.

 

[Dave_in-NC]

Dak played tight games, won them and didn't take a chance. Romo most likely wins some tight games, true but he would lose some too

Daks on a short leash and rightfully so. Linehan has done a masterful job of using his strong points. Hopefully Dak's arrow stays pointed in the direction it's in. But that's not the conversation here.

Link? He's not on a short leash. You completely made that up.

Watch the games.

The team isn't as explosive with McFadden as it is with Zeke. The same can be said about Dunbar and Morris. We are a different team with Zeke and Dak. Romo looked good no doubt in the one drive but who thinks he plays like that the entire game? I don't. Sure Romo and McFadden came in and we scored but we are much better with Dak and Zeke

Why would you think he would not do that the whole game. He did that a whole lot through his career

 

[Elusive6thRing]

Watch the games.

I have been. Dak is the starting Quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys. Maybe you haven't noticed. Just because Romo came in for one series and scored a TD you think there's another QB controversy? You're really....really reaching.

I believe it was just last week that Dak lead the team to 42 points. You're delusional.

 

[aikemirv]

When has Romo ever avoided turnovers? That being said you aren't having 4-5 drives like that every game

His whole career , contrary to popular folklore his is in the top of int per 100 attempts in NFL history

And just a few weeks ago he looked terrible against a division rival and looked bad against a Vikings D and didn't look too hot today.

If he stinks it up in he playoffs, what will you be saying? I can promise you, if he does, Romo will be here next year unless we get a great trade offer.

 

[DandyDon1722]

Absolutely, he only threw 23 interceptions in college out of over 1,000 throws. He takes what the defense gives him he will have one of the best interception ratios in NFL history unless something goes seriously wrong.

I did not know that but really good info.

If he does and I sincerely hope you are right - he'll be the greatest ever and even with more INT's he very well could be.

I think that they will expand the playbook next year and the more comfortable he gets the more he'll throw the ball downfield and take more risks. He had some tipped balls that went his way too but I am not minimizing what he's done - he's simply been terrific. I love the kid.

 

[CrownCowboy]

That's amazing huh

LOL and again, he was injured for the majority of it.

His career turnover ratio is outstanding.

Once again, you have no context, no basis of reality. Just your biases and agendas.

If you don't think or know basketball is about plays and plans then you lost all arguments and are showing your age or tail.

New England wins because of chemistry between coach and QB and QB and WRs he trust. They work on that chemistry. D coordinators adjust to playbook a yearly. Your argument makes zero sense and is complete nonsense. There is a reason why things change from Jimmy Johnson to Switzer in 94

I don't hate Romo but I also don't make excuses. Romo was terrible last year when he played and and he wasn't injuried against the Giants where he had I think it was 3 interceptions.

I have defended Romo but yall act like he never threw an interception and that's not true. Spin it with all your silly little excuses or what not but it's you and folks like you that has an agenda to look past his mistakes and think he does no wrong

You are the one making false claims.

You are the one ignoring his numbers.

Nobody ever said he was perfect, but when people like you come on here and act like and claim that he is a turnover machine and has been his entire career, you need to back it up. His career numbers do not bare that out or really come anywhere close.

Romo also led the team down the field in that Giant's game in the 4th quarter to win the ballgame. But naturally, you completely ignore that. LOL.

Show me anywhere where I said he was a turnover machine and has been his entire career.....you like to make up whatever you want to make a point. You shouldn't put words in people's mouth.

I said he doesn't avoid turnovers which is the case for almost 98 percent of QB's. I also said he turns the ball over at the wrong time. Dak had 4 interceptions all year, that's avoiding turnovers. Dak has thrown over 170 passes without a pick more then once this season. Romo hasn't. That was my only point. All this stuff you're making up that I said is in your head. Just fabricated out of thin air. I'm done with your silly little fairy tale. You continue story time with someone else and unto you can read and understand and have an adult conversation without making things up this will be my last reply.

Anyone waiting for Dallas to bench Dak and start Romo, apparently hasn't watched much football. As for Romo being better than DAK, it really doesn't matter, because Romo's playing ability has never translated into much success for Dallas as a team. I know it's tough for some people to stomach, a 4th round pick coming in and taking the veterans job, but hey that's the nature of the NFL. It's a what have you done for me lately league. If chemistry really doesn't matter, then I guess we can expect Dallas to bench Dak just before the playoffs, and insert Romo. I mean after all, if Romo gives the team the best chance to win according to many posters here on this site. I'm sure the coach can see that also, and will make the appropriate adjustment.

Ok so now you are in denial? LOL this thread is full of posts by you about Romo turning the ball over.

Look, you keep coming on here insinuating that turnovers have defined Romo's career. That is exactly what you are doing. I don't have to put words in your mouth or make up anything. What is the point in coming on here and mentioning last year? A year where he was injured for half of his play?

If you have your panties in a wad and want to throw a hissy fit that's fine. But the fact remains that Tony Romo has 248 TD's in his career against 117 INT's. He has 30 game winning drives in the 4th QTR since 2006. That's the most in the NFL over that time span.

With a TD/INT ratio like that, he does in fact avoid turnovers better than most that play the position. So you are flat out wrong there, again.....

And he doesn't always turn the ball over at the wrong time. Quite the contrary. He has thrown touchdown passes and led his team to a win way more times than he has actually turned the ball over to cost his team. So you are wrong there, again...

You just want to come on here and harp on the vast minority of times he hasn't played well because you have an agenda against him. Period.

And when teams start getting to Romo then what? Y'all keep disrespecting what all Dak brings to the team.

no y'all keep disrespecting what all Romo brings to the team

 

[BHendri5]

here's the deal with all the people that want to put Dak as a better QB than Romo, first off we are all cowboy fans, we all love our QB whoever it may be. Now it is dak's time until it isn't anymore.
Anyway, the bottom line is in order to win an NFL championship you have to have a complete team, football is the ultimate team sport. Romo has not always had that in his tenure as the starter, we were always lacking somewhere, either the defense, or the Oline, the major things that a QB needs to get him over the hump, and some minor things, heck I would even add coaching in there. 2006, we got lucky and made it in, should have blown out the seahawks, but ol fat *** parcells had his out of date playing style that let the seahawks hang around and they lucked up and won. 2007, we found out how hard it is to beat a team 3 times and our Oline was showing signs of it's age.
2009, we got lucky and drew as fat mcnabb and a not so good eagles team and we beat them three times, but the vikings defense showed us that our Oline was old and done, Romo was running for his life every snap. 2014 we were a ref reversal of a catch away from heading to a rematch with the hawks in the conference championship, our defense was proving to be just good enough and we finally got to uusing the right formula for us to win. 2015 was a disaster. Now all those other years was 8-8 years which would not have been if we did not have Romo, and in those years we had bad Olines, no running game, bad defense, no discipline, bad coaching pre Garrett, and some romo mistakes as well has mistakes by other players like RBs, WRs, etc. I am a huge Romo and Dak fan, but I am a Cowboys fan first and foremost, players come and go

Totally agree, I wonder how many fan bases would be having this discussion if they were in the same position? To me it shows how some fans have become used to mediocre play, and lack of team achievements. The last 20 years have been an embarrassment, but how soon we forget. The truth is some of us don't deserve what Dak and this team has accomplished. If only we could have Cassel and Weeden back, so Romo could rush back to save the season.
