Romo Has A Serious Problem Accurately Throwing The Football...

[baj1dallas]

Romo's obviously not good at anything. It's amazing we've ever won a game with him.

He's easily the least accurate QB in the league. Almost every other QB in the league is perfectly on target like 99% of the time. You never see those guys throw without their feet set and perfect follow through.

So you don't think he's ever inaccurate or erratic?

 

[JeffInDC]

We should cut him the same day we cut Roy. Both are dead to us now.

Am I missing a sarcasm indicator, or are you actually serious?

 

[CATCH17]

We need to just blow this thing up, get rid of Romo, and start all over.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

Romos always been inaccurate.

Not in that 4th quarter. Romo threw some of the most impressive passes to Witten i've ever seen him throw. He was throwing in some tight spaces.

So you don't think he's ever inaccurate or erratic?

I didn't say that at all.

He's obviously too shockingly inaccurate, alarmingly erratic and appallingly inconsistent to ever be a good NFL quarterback.

Like I said, it's amazing we've ever won a game with a quarterback as bad as he is. We just get lucky sometimes, I guess.

...and if he doesn't get it corrected we aren't going to accomplish anything this season.

Imo, his inaccuracy throwing the ball (mainly high) is mainly a result of poor mechanincs. You can't blame it on a sore back because he's had the problem since the Tampa Bay game.

I watched him closely on a replay when he overthrew a WR down the fiield. The angle was from behind the LOS. It was obvious he didn't set his feet and he threw the ball moving backwards and to the side.

I understand the pass rush can be the cause of that at times but I will never forget what Phil Simms said earlier this year on Inside the NFL. He said the main thing that concerned him about Romo was not the occasional int, it was the alarming number of inaccurate passes that he does not complete that should be routine throws for an NFL QB.

That was a shocking statement to me!

Doesn't Romo have a career 65% completion percentage?

 

[HanfordDixon]

This entire discussion is ridiculous. Romo has a career 63 percent completion percentage. His accuracy is one of his strengths.

End of story.

 

[DABOYZ]

The biggest problem with Romo and his overthorws, is that he is either hanging his receivers up for the big hit or leading them towards the big hit. He needs to do a better job protecting his receivers from the big hit.

Don't exaggerate to try to make some point. Yes, sometimes Romo displays poor mechanics which affects his accuracy. But he has always been over a 60% passer and will continue to be. "he is the least accurate QB in the league" That is ridiculous.

you missed it
overreaction monday after all.

Yes, well, actually its a career 63% completion rate to go along with a career 94 passer rating.

Right up there with Peyton's career 64% completion rate, 95 QB rating. Brady's 63% completion rate, and 93.6 rating. And Drew Brees 64% completion rate, and 90 career rating.

And just think how good Romo would be if he weren't so horribly, horribly inaccurate for his entire career.

 

[InmanRoshi]

Romo thrives in other areas. Many good or great qbs arent the most accurate. Thats never been one of his strengths. He needs a wr who will go all out for the ball. He also could use a WR who gets open so he doesnt have to thread a needle every single throw.

This epic thread just gets better and better. The hits just keep coming.

 

[superpunk]

Brady Quinn might become available. Maybe we should pick him up. P good day yesterday...

And it is not as if he makes a living on easy throws. The reason he is up there higin on the yards per attempt list is because he throws the ball down field. He is not asked to just make the easy throws that pad completions stats. I think he has been inaccurate this season and I don't know why. Accuracy has been his strength and hopefully he finds that form again. Maybe the need to let him try some easy throws and get his confidence and rhythm back.

Romo is not as bad as some think nor is he as good as those stats would lead one to believe.You can't compare Romo to Manning,Brady or even Brees at this time.Now down the road that may be another story,but until he has as many pass attempts as Manning,Brady or even Brees his numbers aren't as significant as theirs.Point is,a .400 hitter with 400 at AB's can't be compared to a .400 hitter with 20 AB's.

Romo has 1500 attempts, which the NFL has determined is enough to be in the "All-Time" Considerations.

If you would like to compare Romo's first 1500 attempts with Manning or Brady's first 1500 attempts, then feel free to do so. But, I promise you that his numbers over that period DWARF theirs, so it doesn't make any difference.

 

[links18]

Romo has had several games this year were he has consistently sailed balls high (which may be why his INTS are down this year). The problem is that nobody seems to be working with him to get it corrected. That said, the WRs need to catch some of these borderline balls. Just because the throw isn't perfect is no excuse to make a poor effort to catch it. Its like Folk's kick, yeah McBriar may suck at getting the laces turned around, but that is not an excuse for him to be missing so many kicks he would normally make. Too many excuses flying around.......

 

[DFWJC]

Romo is having some issues, but generally speaking I think he has a pretty good completion percentage vs the "average" NFL QB. But yes, right now now something is going on. I'll take the 6 completions in a row for the win all day (vs the loss) though.
