Romo cleared for practice, may be active for Steelers

[KJJ]

Meh. He will throw a pick 6 in the divisional round and screw up his own chance.

He's going to miss his 16th straight regular season game this weekend and hasn't faced a regular season pass rush in a full year. He only played 2-3 series in preseason. There's no question with all the rust on his game that he will turn the ball over and probably turn it over more in 1-2 games than Dak has all season. He had 5 INT's in his last 2 regular season games after returning from 7 missed games. In less than 4 games last season he had 7 INT's. The defense wouldn't survive being put back on the field with the turnovers Romo will very likely commit. He makes plays but he turns the ball over. It's been maintaining the ball and efficient offensive play that's made the team and the defense better than everyone expected.

If he plays he won't go 2 full games without at least one turnover. Book mark it!

This is not what you stated earlier. Why the change?

I said "there's no question with all the rust on his game that he will turn the ball over and probably turn it over more in 1-2 games than Dak has all season." I used the word "probably" in that statement. I didn't use the word "probably" in the last statement, I was definitive and that's the one you need to note.

Prescott has lost two of five fumbles and has two interceptions accredited to him this season.

That's four turnovers total.

You stated (twice now) that Romo will probably commit more turnovers in two or less games than Prescott has in his eight games. Summarily, you proclaimed that Romo will probably turnover the ball five or more times in his first and/or second week as starter.

Yes or no? Is this what you stated?

 

[MileyDancer]

Anyone that doesn't think Romo will be rusty is kidding themselves. He's played like 5 minutes in an actual game for almost a year now.

Okay, so he has 4 total turnovers not 3 and I stated Romo will "probably" have more turnovers in 1-2 games than Dak has had in 8 games, thinking Dak had 3 turnovers. Seeing that he has 4 turnovers that changes my opinion. He won't turn the ball over 5 or more times in 1-2 games unless he has a meltdown performance like he did vs Carolina. I made my prediction if Romo plays which I "doubt" he will unless there's an injury to Dak, he won't go 2 full games without at least one turnover. If you want to keep arguing this to fit your agenda feel free.

 

[tyke1doe]

Haha, okay. There are rare exceptions when interceptions may not be inopportune or untimely. Touche.

That's why I say all interceptions aren't equal. You got to know the situation and circumstance. Did the receiver fall down? Did the receiver not run his route? Did it come at the end of the half? Etc. Some of Romo's interceptions - I suspect - are the result of the receiver not running the right route. One, in particular, I remember was the Monday Night Jets game where Romo got intercepted twice by Revis throwing to Dez. Romo got all the blame, but rumor has it that Dez didn't run his route properly.

The other thing to note is that all of those, including all 5 fumbles I believe, have come in the last 4 games. He's got to clean up the fumbling in particular: we won't always be so lucky as to recover more than half of them.

Agenda. Dude. It's YOUR words that you're backpedaling on.

"Seeing that he has 4 turnovers that changes my opinion."

Translation: "******. I put myself too far out there. Let me reel it back some and spin it back onto the OTHER guy."

I used the words "probably" and "very likely" which isn't definitive and you're trying to pin me down to something that wasn't definitive. You always try and pull this stunt when you think you see an opening. Your translation is purely to fit an agenda. I was definitive that Romo won't go two full games without a turnover and to book mark it. We're not "likely" to see Rono anyway unless it's mop up duty, an injury to Dak or his game starts coming apart.

Good post.

Every interception attributed to a quarterback (not just Romo and not just at the professional level) should be evaluated individually. Sometimes an interception is entirely the fault of the quarterback. Romo has been responsible for his share of those... just like every other quarterback who has played the game. Similarly, an interception is not entirely or entirely not the quarterback's fault.

I remember years ago during a Lions game where Romo had multiple interceptions added to his stats. First of all, I pointed out that Romo tossed one too many passes to Bobby Carpenter and heaved a prayer deep before defensive pressure should have forced him to throw the ball. However, I posted a video of the interception resulting from any improperly run slant pattern. I even included another video from a football training source explaining how a quick slant pattern should be properly executed by a receiver.

Member reaction? ALL of the interceptions were Romo's fault.

Some people can't differentiate. Why? There are several explanations. Me? I'm over fifty now. I've given up on some people not understanding football basics. It's not worth it.

Spin spin spin.

Who knows? If-and-when Romo does play may prove you prophetic. Maybe it won't. We'll all see (and subsequently remember) in time.

 

[CATCH17]

I think it's absolutely ridiculous to not have him out there backing up if he is available.

Romo doesn't strike me as a guy that is so prideful that he wouldn't want to suit up because he isn't starting.

In my opinion, he will always suit up and be there for the team and his teammates this season. He's a team first type of player. I think the real question is what will he do following this season? He can examine his career options (if any) outside of Dallas during the offseason--just like every other player.

It may sound strange but I don't see him leaving Dallas unless it's for Denver.

I think he'd retire before he went to NYJ.


He would probably go to the Cardinals but Dallas would never let that happen.


IMO he takes a paycut to stay in Dallas, goes to Denver, or I can actually see him being a coach here.

 

[Trouty]

I wish I found the usage of the ignore feature much, much sooner in my time here.

@DallasEast, I don't envy you for not being able to use it. Fight the good fight, my brother. I respect the hell out of the mods here, I wouldn't last a second.

Go Dak. Go Tony.

 

[MileyDancer]

He doesn't.

And why do people keep using that stupid *** phrase(s)? "Untimely," "inopportune," etc.

Because he's had untimely-could have won us the game- interceptions. We had like 48 points against Denver, then when all we needed as a first down, he throws a pick and Denver wins. Steelers in 2008. Against the Commanders in 2011 (or 2012). Does he do it the most of the QBs? Probably not, but he's DEFINITELY had untimely interceptions.
