Romo Friendy Offense

[Beast_from_East]

Is this the current offense way to Romo friendly? With Romo this team seems to tread water. Without Romo we are drowning. Can a new QB step in and be successful in the current scheme? Time will tell but maybe it's time to build around a quick release QB like Brady or Aikman. I'm ready for the stat that matters.. Winning Super Bowls!

Every team in the league is looking for the next Brady or Aikman............its not as easy as going to Wal Mart and picking one up.

Green Bay has a Rodgers-friendly offense. Carolina is Newton-friendly. Etc, etc, etc.

Somebody show me the NFL team that went screaming through the playoffs with a backup quarterback.

Anyone?

Its not a matter of going through the playoffs with a backup QB, its a matter of getting to or competing for the playoffs with your backup QB. The Houston Texans played 5 different starting QBs this season (most in the entire NFL) and they won their division.

Teams don't go 1-11 with 3 different backup QBs unless your playbook is written in crayon. So the solution is either to get a new playbook or get a much better backup QB, like use a top 5 pick better QB. I think its pretty obvious which route we are going.

Bragging about the Texans winning their crappy division isn't any different than bragging about the Commanders winning the East. They were both terrible divisions and the winners got kicked out of the playoffs without much of a fight.

Not disagreeing, but just saying that teams do win games with backup QBs.

My point is that going 1-11 with your backup QBs is unacceptable............Judging from the comments both Jerry and Stephen have made, I take it that they believe it is also unacceptable. Both have said QB is the number one priority this offseason and both have said that the team has to be able to win games in the event Romo is injured again in the future.

Jerry said that this season has "seared into his brain" how important the QB position is...............clearly going 1-11 without Romo made an impression and that is why more than likely we are taking a QB at pick 4.

I think Moore sees the field well enough and has a sense for where the pressure is coming. But his release is only adequate and I don't see the ability to drive the ball on the out. The head is fine but the arm comes up short.

I like Kellen Moore but he has some serious deficiencies.

If you watch him close enough he often drifts into the pressure. Arm strength is often overrated in the game. Where arm strength helps a lot is on hitches and out routes and allows the O-Coordinator to open the playbook more. But to throw it deep effectively, lots of weaker armed QB's have done it well.

He's not Chad Hutchinson or Drew Bledsoe where he has no sense of the pass rush and is slow to react. He's more of a QB that just doesn't have that feel and since he isn't very athletic, it's a problem.

So I guess the better question is....Why is it that Romo is the only QB we have had that can win at least 8 games a year with this team. Way to much talent on this team to be a barely above .500 team year in and year out. I find it odd that our offensive scheme allows Romo to audible to whatever play he chooses yet limits our backups to running the play that is called. This team was bad this year with or without Romo. The first game of the year vs the Giants proved it. Dez and Romo's injury's just gave Jerry a good excuse to keep Red around for another year. The top tier teams in the league draft a QB at least every other year. Maybe it's because they too have figured out QB's don't hang out on the shelves at Wal Mart.

I'm gonna rewatch those last couple of games over the weekend - I may have over-calculated Moore's pocket awareness (one of the few things I actually thought he had going for him... ouch).

Honest truth?

This team has ignored the QB position, that is why. The only QBs we have drafted were Quincy Carter and Stephen McGee in 20 years.

Finding Romo was a miracle, Jerry even said so himself in that famous undercover video when he admitted he only hired Parcells to get the stadium built.

We win games exclusively due to Romo's talent level, that is your answer. If you want another QB that can win, you have to devote some resources, like a first round pick, otherwise hunting through the dumpster will continue to produce nothing but loses.

Room friendly offense means sand lot offense. I think the article with Danny White explains it best. Most of the time our receivers do not run crisp routes or get any separation and instead of going to the next receiver in the progression , Romo uses his escapability to extend the play and wait for his target to get open. We don't have a timing based offense. Wish we did though. I hate all the audibles at the line of scrimmage, it seems frantic. All the kill kill kills hand pointing left point right kill kill waiting till the last nano second to hike.

Another QB could conceivably step in and do well. But only after Garrett revamps the offensive strategy. It would be one that goes old school with a bam-bam like running back such as Emmitt Smith and then, when the LBs and safeties move in closer, cuts loose with the long ball to Dez. We cannot go run, run, pass to Witten for a 6-yard pickukp and expect to be successfull. We really cannot. And I am not convinced that Aikman had a quick release as much as he had on-field smarts as to seeing his open guy and then letting loose. Brady has a quick release, but that is only part of it. The long ball abhors the quick release. And that is what we are lacking. If we went out to get Dez, then USE HIM consistently. Yes, he was injured but next season, Romo has got to showcase him. I have no quarrels with the mid-field passing scheme but only if we use TWO TEs to make the LBs and safeties crazy. And what does this two TE scheme do? It puts Dez and co. on single coverage.
Boffo, lads! Bofo!

Not stupid just ignorant. And they give this board a bad reputation.

Oh? Is there some sort of mass message board competition going on? Is there like an award on the line?

I would think that having Tony Romo has something to do with this:
