No QB controversy. Just a shout out to TR's series vs. the eagles yesterday.
1. He was noticeably being booed by the eagle fans as he entered the huddle. He turns to the eagle defense and says, "I know what your thinking, did he beat us 5 or 6 times in a row? We'll all I have to say is, do you all feel lucky punks?"
2. So first play, like an ace pitcher, airs it out on a fly route like a 102 mph fastball clearing the plate.
3. 3rd and 11, looks off the safety and flicks a perfect 13 yard dart to TWill for first down.
4. Maximizing and utilizing his players and timing in the pocket, looks right and slings out a low risk dump off pass to DMAC who runs another 11 yards to keep methodically moving the chains.
5. After a just interference which lined us up on the 3 yard line, Tony with a grin takes the shotgun snap, immediately looks left to TWill who steps back and Tony with a slight pump fake, draws the CB up to TWill who then runs a short wheel route around the CB to the corner of the end zone. All in a second motion Tony throws a perfect fade right into the back corner of the end zone into TWills hands.
The beauty of the TD throw was as his arm was following through, as the ball left his hand, Tony was already jogging to the bench knowing the pass was going to hit it's mark like so many times before.
As he reached the sideline, he blew the smoke from his pistols and shook his head in disgust of the Phili fans. "Thanks once again for I will always be your daddy Phili and your defense once again knows it's limitations".

You see, that's the thing with Romo. It's feast or famine. That 1st pass was nearly intercepted and then what would the narrative have been? Luckily for him it was all feast on that one and only drive.
Even when things are going along and this offense was humming... out of nowhere comes a boneheaded play! We've all seen it in disbelief with our own eyes. That's where the famine kicks in.

Add in the FACT he can't stay on the field.:facepalm:

Where is the thread critiquing every throw Romo made? Oh I'm sorry, we only do that with Dak.

This take was just for Romos moment back in the sun. I have no agenda and certainly do not look for Romo to replace Dak. Dak is the new Sheriff and has earned the badge. I understand what you saying about Romo's shortcomings as well.
There's just something that needs to be said for the old Gunslingers/warriors like Farve and Romo showing the new kids and filthy fans that you can't keep a good man down.

Romos first pass was off target and Dak was flawless. There ya go.
I see that got on your nerves a bit. I guess you see how it got on all of our nerves when they were doing it to Dak.

Taking the silliness to another meaningless level:
Tony now leads the Cowboys this year in QB rating. :muttley:
