Romo at Eastern Illinois

[khiladi]

Does anybody have video or links to video of Romo in college? I can't find anything online, but I'm just interested to see his style of play there.

No, but he did at that time have the ability to throw past 30 yards, and hit a WR in stride on occasion. Never had a strong arm even as a rook, but his arm has been dead for the past 3 yrs, and this staff lives in denial, and refuses to adjust the offense passing plays to account for Romos dead arm. He still has the ability to hit short to intermediate routes, and this offense is successful when that ability is realized.

What are you talking about. Romo can still throw a ball deep. Granted it's not a Joe Flacco arm, but you are talking like he compares to a Chad Pennington.

Surprisingly, there is not really any videos out there on Romo prior to pro.

I remember seeing some tiny clips but nothing interesting.

Did u watch the last game? Even Troy Aikman commented on this, one pass fell 15 yards short of both receiver and defender. He's not the same passer from years past...

His last game was kind of like the 1st game. Back obviously was an issue due to lack of rest. Besides last game and the 1st game, his deep balls have been ok. He has always struggled at times on getting too much air on his deep passes.

While we're at it, I want Dez's homework assignment from Kindergarten. I want to know if he colored withon the lines. I need to know this before we sign him to a long contract extension. Someone please get me those assignments!!

He had 4 days rest and was not his normal self. He has hit plenty on longer passes. He will be fine against chicago.

Blood in the water.. Teams will just continue to stack the box now and dare Romo to beat them in the air. We shall see...

Looked dead last week.
And yes, he has games where the long ball--a very highly overrated part of a QBs game-- has been weak.
But the rest of what you say is a crock.

There's a stat called air yards that removes YAC....so it shows how often a QB get his team yards through the air on longer passes.
Romo is top 7 this year...or was before last game.

I don't even know why people talk about Romo's "deep ball". The "deep ball" while is a very exciting play teams usually throw 1-3 of them a game. You're not going to win in this league trying to throw deep balls all game.
