Romo is NOT gonna get us there!!

[jchocolate82]

Tony Romo is not gonna get us to the promise land. Look, we had it all lined up this year with homefield advantage and an above average team and we chocked on the bone at home. I saw some things in the game and during the season that has begun to raise questions in my mind about Tony getting us to the "show".

Look, let's be honest. Look at his short history in Dallas. He has QB'ed the team to about 23 wins but he has MAJOR holes in his game. He ad-libs a bit too much and at the wrong times. Bill Parcells knew this and always tried to reign him in. His descisions under pressure yesterday and during the Philly and last Commander game He also has shown problems in big games.

I wont come off this till he shows he can produce when it really counts. What a waste of a season this was. It was all set up.

:bang2:

Shut up and chill out. I'm tired of all these overreacting fans. THE WHOLE TEAM PLAYED BAD. Romo always gives us our best chance to win and he's still a young QB and is gonna make mistakes.

There are idiots born everyday. I guess Peyton Manning should have been traded years ago since he didn't make it to a Super Bowl until his what 8th season.

Let's see Manning was "a guy that will never win the big one or even get there".

Romo will get us there and probably more times than either Manning will. For fans, like yourselves that don't know squat about football, maybe you should read up on Farve and Manning and Elway.

Give up on Romo, yeah W.C. Fields was right there is a sucker born everyday.

Romo didn't lose the game. Fasano drops a touchdown pass, Crayton drops a TD pass, Owens drops at least a 50 yard gain, and Crayton drops at least a 20 yard gain, not to mention that Romo was knocked down 12 times and with the OL committing so many penalties. Yeah, Romo will not get there with that kind of help.

Question, did you even watch the game?

It's still early for him, but he definitely doesn't have that ice water running in his veins. I think there are far more goats yesterday than Tony, but I really didn't feel good about his play and decisions and body language in the second half.

How he can scramble out of the pocket twice and still take a sack is beyond me. And then to just throw the ball away with no pressure and get an intentional grounding was pretty bad. Rookie mistakes. He also was losing his composure in the 4th quarter when we needed him the most.

No doubt he's the best QB we've had by far since Troy. But right now he'd fall behind Staubach, Troy and Danny on the list of Cowboys QB's.

I have made my assessment and I will stick too it. Tony is an above average QB. He will NEVER be a superstar QB like Elway, Manning, Aikman, Brady or Montana untill he PROVES he can handle and produce in the clutch.

All the above QB's had guys drop balls and teams make mistakes but you always got the feeling that these guys delivered in the Clutch.

Tony had three chances to drive us to a game winning TD and he ,as the QB, did not get us there. Now it may not be fair but truth is truth. Elway got a bum rap before he won the show and he was getting that rap while winning clutch come from behind games.

I just don't see Tony be a clutch performer yet and that's what I want from my QB. I want a guy who can get the ball with 3:00 minutes to play who can get his team in position to win the game more often then not.

QB's in the NFL are judged by winning the BIG games not just stacking up regular wins. I'll take an Elway and Montana anyday over a Marino or a Moon.

And I'm NOT a "troll" because I have a different opinion about my team. A team I have been a fan of for the last 25 years.

That is where you are wrong. I don't consider Manning to be in the same category as Montana/Aikman or Brady.

Manning to me is a great regular season QB, much like Elway was. I know I will catch heat for it, but I never thought Elway was a great post season QB. His record proves that, except for the last season he played, even when he won first SB, he wasn't great in Post Season.

And I think same might be true for Tony Romo. I am happy that he is the QB for Cowboys, compared what others we might have or have had instead of him.

He played bad in 4th quarter when it mattered, but he was not the sole reason for that. His Recievers, OL didn'tg help him out either. But I think he lost his composure when it mattered most.

Thats what was great about Aikman, when he had talent around him he produced. Thats why I laugh when some people say he might be better than Aikman or some going to extent of saying he is better than Staugbach. What the heck are they watching?

It also proves to lot of Aikman Skeptics, even if you have lot of talent around you, you still need to pick your level of play to win in Post Season. I was a Romo Skeptic at the begining of the season, not about him being a bad QB, but as a QB that can get Dallas a SB. And I remain a skeptic.

Having said that, he is better than lot other options. There is only other QB, I would take other than Romo. Thats Brady. Since those kind come once in a couple of decades, I guess that won't happen.

This is complete BULL, without Tony Romo, we never get here. Look at the many close games he pulled us out of, how many errors his teammates had during the season and he still pulled them through. Such fair weather fans..

Tony's been our QB for under 30 starts, he's made Two Pro Bowl trips and led us to the Playoffs twice, he also set the Cowboy's record for TD passes in a season and this isn't good enough for you?. Tony's is considered a top 5-7 QB in the NFL.

If it makes you feel any better, Donovan McFlabb may be on the trading blocks.:laugh1:

I think you are VERY wrong for saying Manning, Elway are not great QBs. These QBs often carry their teams to post seasons when their teams really have no business being in the post seasons without great QB plays. However, when post season begins and you always play good teams then the weaknesses of the whole team gets exposed. The QB can compensate but can't not win a game by himself. Football is the ultimate team sport and the post season will magnify any weakness of the team.

They said the same thing about Roger Staubach in the early 70s.

Did they? Seriously, I was too young in the early 70s to know if that question was being tossed around. Staubach led the Cowboys to a SB win in his 3rd season in the league. He did not even become the true starter until late in that 3rd season. I know he started a few games here and there his first couple of years, but Craig Morton was also starting a lot of games and was the guy that played all of SB V. Maybe there was talk about how Dallas would not win with Morton at QB.

Roger saw limited playing time in only one playoff game in 1969. When he finally became the unquestioned starter he won his first 3 playoff games including the SB. I just don't see the comparison to Romo who just completed his 5th season and 2nd as the starter.

As for Romo, he could have played better. I don't think there is enough to say Dallas can't win with him at QB. He certainly was not the only guy who could have played better yesterday.

alright, then hit the road.

Alright, I will. Untill next year that is. :bang2:

I'm just really dissappointed and in retrospect had probably gotten my hopes up too high. I just think being down 21-17 with 13 minutes to play at home should be a cake-walk for an ALL-PRO QB.
