Romo leaving really crippled us. Garrett has to change or leave

[kazzd58]

With Romo gone it really crippled us, game play wise and mentally.

Romo was a rare talent. He could surgically take apart a defense, and make it look so easy. With Romo we did not need to come up with gimmicky plays, or plays that would help our WR's get open. Romo was that ******* good he threw the Wr's open and somehow made everyone's life easy, while improving every season.

With that being said, Garrett probably believes somewhere in his naive mind that it was him and his offense that looked so good, so tries and uses the same formula with Prescott hoping for the same results.

With Prescott we need to install gimmicky plays, rub routes, and wr friendly formations. Even the great Brady uses these type of plays, and I'm sure he doesn't need it.

Not comparing Romo to Brady, but he's not way out of the circle.

It just sucks, we abused Romo for so many years and never got him the help, and completely sold out for him, to at least try and win one. The only time we somewhat got aggressive was with TO, and Roy Williams. But he always had a bad Defense, and Bad O-Line until it was to late.

We will probably never Run into another talent and master of the game like Romo for another maybe 20 years, so we need to help Prescott and make things easy for him. He's not Romo, and this starts with Garrett, because Jerry isn't going anywhere

Didn't nobody tell Romo to break out of the pocket in Seattle Preseason game like he Mike Vick and break his back.. Its his fault because he didnt Have to run

 

[Aviano90]

We stopped winning all them playoff games and SB titles when Romo left.

I think he was just trying to find open space to get down.
The pocket had collapsed.
Oh well, old news now

The Romoholic mantra:

If the Cowboys won: “Tony carried the entire team.”

If the Cowboys lost: “Tony can’t carry the entire team.”

Romo was a great Cowboy, but he was only one player on a team. He helped us win games with great plays, as did his teammates. He made mistakes, some of which cost us games, as did his teammates. He didn’t block, catch passes or play defense in any of the wins or losses. He aged, became increasingly injured and now he’s retired, as are — or in the future will be — his former teammates.

Get over it.

Most of us rational/realist know that having Romo here was our best chance to win anything of significance. He carried the team all these years and was let down by the idiot head coach and gm.

Now we are stuck with a QB that cant throw and will flame out as a starter in the next year or two and we are back to the drawing board. If we had a QB worth a damn, many of us wouldnt still be wishing Romo was here.

Romo was crippled. He had to leave.

Never said he didn't have to leave...fact remains, we are trying to use a formula that he was able to perfect, and force it another guy who isn't as talented or smart as Romo.

Also the fact we never fully took advantage of Romo while he was elite and healthy

I cant wait for Garrett to leave. Then after a year or two of the same thing, we can talk about wanting then another coach after Garrett's replacement.

 

[GenoT]

I've been saying for years. Our team should scrap the Garrett playbook and start running those rub easy to execute rub routes. For someone who's played football for his entire life (Garrett) I can't understand why he can't change a play to compensate for a different type of player?

Romo was a rare breed. He was the reason why our offense was so successful. He would make the proper changes depending on the defense. Garrett is like the "siri" of coaches. All you get is the same ole' answers every time. Borrrrrring.

We need a change.

Former-QB Garrett had another advantage with Romo. Jason was the OC and play-caller early in Tony’s career as the Cowboys’ starter, but without the responsibilities of being the head coach.

JG, Jerry’s pet and pre-anointed “HC in waiting”, had virtual full-autonomy over constructing the O and calling the plays on game-day under Wade Phillips — something he doesn’t have early in Dak’s career as the starter.

Maybe Kellen Moore as QB coach can help Scott Linehan get better play out of Dak?

 

[zack]

No doubt about that. They're everywhere here.

That’s funny because when Romo was playing most of the people here wanted him long gone. When the magic wore off on Daks rookie season, everyone that wanted Romo gone knew they were wrong all along.

 

[Bleu Star]

A crippled Romo is better than...I'll leave it at that. Thx...

No. Please finish. I've got my Kleenex ready for this one.

 

[Bleu Star]

This is a truth so many fans either forget or never realized. As much as I loved Romo- his story, his talent, his grit....he was done physically. He would not have lasted a single game because he literally could no longer take normal NFL contact. Dak took some shots this year that Romo would not have gotten up from. “Father Time is undefeated”.

Father Time is indeed the G.O.A.T.

Romo was crippled. He had to leave.

That must have been someone else I saw march down the field against Philly in January of 2017.

 

[The Natural]

Jason Garrett is who he's always been and always will be, nothing is changing. should have been shown the door after three consecutive 8-8 seasons, bu but the process.

 

[Captain43Crash]

Romo was never going to play forever. Hard to argue with Dak as the succession plan after a 13-3, record setting rookie season. Should the organization have a better contingency plan given Dak's second year struggles? Probably.

Dak strugggled because the offensive players around him struggled, especially the O line and Dez, and because this offensive coaching system is a basic predictable joke. Did Garrett make adjustments to consistently help his sorry backup tackles? H_ _ _ NO!! The contingency plan should be to fire the idiot coach.

Yep. And you would have to search far and wide to find Romo Nostradomus that didn’t know with 100% certainty what he would become when he was a undrafted FA in 2004! The reality is it’s not reasonable to measure Dak at 2 years with Romo at 13 years.

Seriously dude, Romo would have been a cripple if he had played this year. In a sense, Romo being crippled crippled the team for 1 year, 20015. I understand the myth but the reality is far different than the myth.

As far as JG, he'll either dig his way out or bury himself

 

[phildadon86]

Bingo.... I've never seen so many teary nostalgic historians.

But if you say it you don’t understand anatomy or football or life apparently

 

[big dog cowboy]

This thread reminds me of when Staubach and Aikman left.

 

[Captain43Crash]

Than what? The average 3rd string QB. Take off your Rose colored glasses. Romo had his day. He was a top 10 QB for most of his career, never had a complete team around him, but Romo made his share of mistakes to cost us games. He never put on a Superman cape and carried us to a playoff victory on his own. That being said, Jerry the enabler and Garrett the clapping cyborg are the main reason this team struggled during Romo’s era and now during Dak’s.

 

[NumOneQB]

It’s amazes me how some forget how talented some of those teams were that Romo played on. But oh, if it wasn’t for Romo the Cowboys couldn’t have won a damn game!
