Romo is no saint...

Chalk this up as my token "told you so" thread...

Perhaps it takes real media snooping to unearth some of the information we would otherwise have no idea of. I'm not sure what it is but it's starting to come out. I won't seek to get the human Romo shield all riled up. I already did that by saying I told you so. Rather, I am interested in your opinions on the current state of affairs as it relates to the cohesion and leadership that should exist in the locker room, in the meeting rooms, and on the field.

Sadly, Romo has regressed under the alleged "leadership" of Wade Phillips. Wade runs a pansy camp and pays zero attention to detail. Wade holds no one accountable for their actions. Everyone on here always says where there's smoke there's fire. Right? Well, there's plenty of smoke coming from the direction of Wade Phillips and Tony Romo.

Romo clowns in meetings? Guys (incl TO) are late left & right to team meetings? Wade has created a real smorgasbord of **** at Valley Ranch. It may take a few years just to undo the damage inflicted once he is no longer commanding this team. Who do we have at the starting QB position? Is it the class clown? Sorry. I don't need the class clown for over 60 mil. Is it a leader? That is still yet to be determined. Romo, whether he chooses to embrace it or not, has got to step up to the plate and become a leader. I would truly like to see that happened but with each passing day my faith in that possibility diminishes. Who, at the coaching level and above, does he have to serve as a mentor for him? Absolutely no one.

I guess the media is good for some things. If anything, they can leverage the one sided campaign against one player simply by reporting the "rest of the story"...

Problems start from the top of the organization to the bottom.

There's enough blame for Wade and Jerry to share equally. Wade at the helm has been a disaster thus far.

I think I may just stop visiting the site altogether this offseason.

The offseason news and drama is going to get worse.

With that in store the discussion content on this board will get worse.

Romo definitely needs to be more of a leader IMO.

However the "Body Count" (credit for that term should go to a poster on this board, not sure who it was though) for TO continues to rise:

1. Steve Marriucci
2. Jeff Garcia
3. San Fran 49ers
4. Donovan McNabb
5. Andy Reid
6. Philly Eagles
7. Bill Parcells
8. Jason Garrett
9. Todd Haley
10. Soon to be Tony Romo???

This guy's history is undeniable. I am not sure what it takes for someone to see the fire in the past and the smoke of today.

What can Wade do when Jerry wont let him take 100% control??? Wade isn't immune from criticism but its hard to put most of it on the guy when clearly Jerry is the ringmaster of this circus.

I believe this was why BP was nervous about introducing Romo. If you remember he talked about having to keep Romo on a short leash. He just needs a strong leader over him who can help him be a solid NFL leader in the locker room. He can do it.......our coaches just have to challenge him and hold him accountable.

I choose not to engage in discussion about TO in this thread. Feel free to say whatever has been said over and over again. However, I will entertain discussion about Jerry, Wade, Red, and Romo. I find it difficult to believe that one man is powerful enough to take down four.

Exactly. As much as I was excited to see Romo take over for Bleedslow, BP did have a point about keeping Romo on a short leash. Unfortunately under this leadership the opposite is happening.. :mad:

Hey. You're absolutely right about Jerry. It's really sickening. How are we to get Shanahan if Jerry won't consider stepping back a bit. Hopefully if/when the times comes to potentially bring Shanahan aboard Jerry will consider just that.

Romo needs a real mentor... I think Shanahan would be an excellent step in the right direction.

I blame it all on TO.

We get rid of him and we get rid of a great deal of the problems.

Maybe we would get rid of the TO jock sniffers as well.




Throws gas on the bonfire and watch the people's eyebrows singe.

Sorry guys. My intention is not to drive you away. I just find it difficult to move forward with the status quo at the coaching positions.

No its more fun to bait them and antagonize them if you ask me. Its the scared mob mentality lashing out at anything they can get an excuse to.
