Romo looking out of Shape

[KJJ]

Yea, nevermind how he played.. did you see how he looked?

That's the real debate here..

The real debate was who was worst looking Rypien or Jim Plunkett?

Someone needs to send Romo one of these so we can shut everyone up.

The only games I missed of Rypien's during the 91 season were the ones that were being played at the same time the Cowboys were playing but I saw all the highlights. Rypien had a very good season in 91 but he had a DAMN GOOD team around him which is why Washington went 14-2 during the regular season. That team could have very easily gone 15-1 had they not rested players in the season finale vs Philly. Eli didn't have nearly as good a team around him as Rypien in 91 during his SB wins in 2007 and 2011. Eli won SB's with a 10-6 team in 07 and a 9-7 team in 2011. That 9-7 team in 2011 was the only 9-7 team to ever win a SB. In 91 Washington ranked 3rd in offense and defense. In 07 Eli attempted 529 passes and in 2011 he attempted 589 passes compared to only 421 pass attempts for Rypien in 91.

Rypien was able to rely on his running game and defense much more so that season than Eli did in either of his SB winning seasons. Several QB's could have won a SB with Rypien's team. Rypien wouldn't have won a SB on the Giants teams Eli was apart of. Joe Gibbs won 3 SB's with 3 average QB's Joe Theismann, Doug Williams and Rypien. It was the "teams" Gibbs built around those QB's that enabled him to win SB's despite not having a great QB. This is why Gibbs receives so much respect as a head coach. Parcells was the same way he won 2 championships despite not having a great QB. The way the NFL is now QB's have to carry teams.

Rypien did manage a very good overall team, but he played a big part in it. He was in the right place at the right time no doubt. And Rypien's contributions versus E-Lie's contributions are not as similar in stats but more so in the overall scheme of each team's success. Stats are only part of the story and never tell the whole story.

Rypien QBed a team to a great record. Eli's teams were never considered the best in the NFL even tho they won it all. The mediocre nature of Eli's teams says a whole whole lot about E-Lie's overall play as he QBed those teams. Just because his teams got hot at the right time does not make him a stellar or clutch QB. It simply means that he was in the right place at the right time - just like Rypien.

E-Lie has never been one of the best QB's in the game, even the years his teams won it all. In that sense he is similar to Rypien, and even Dilfer. Sure E-Lie might have a better arm. Better stats. But he's still the same E-Lie that can be counted on to make the bonehead plays. Rypien didnt make the bonehad plays and that aspect does much to equalize the comparison. Rypein didnt hurt his team with the bonehead plays like E-Lie does.

The comparison of E-Lie to Rypien and Dilfer has a lot to do with the overall team success and being in the right place at the right time. E-Lie's better individual stats do nothing to negate that legitimate comparison. And E-Lie's mediocrity thru an entire season, but having a decent post season still makes him who he is - a 2x in the right place at the right time kinda QB.

Funny stuff.

BTW, are you now admitting he needs that?

No, that's just to shut those up who think he looks fat. If he does have a jelly belly that grid should give him a well defined six-pack for at least a few hours. He could always wear it under his jersey and ask someone to punch him in the gut to prove he's been working out.

 

[TheSport78]

I'm far from defensive but I do find your insinuations without any factual data quite silly.

If he was weighed in and was overweight and there was some physician that checked him out and said he was concerned with Romo's diet, then we certainly can discuss those issues but to drum up things based on few pics is just pointless.

That's cool you think it's silly. To be honest though, I don't care at all.

Ahh, you mean those who don't agree with you!

Everyone has their own opinion. That's different from claim of fact.


Opinion = "My favorite color is green." That's fine, everyone has their opinion.


"Such-and-such a person has clearly and obviously gained (or lost) a significant amount of weight." That's not an opinion; that's a claim of fact that needs supporting evidence.

That's your interpretation. Sorry if you take my words and opinions as facts.

 

[Pessimist_cowboy]

That's probably thee worst comparison I've ever read on this forum.

Anyone have a pic of Romo with his shirt off ?

From 1980 to 2002 several QB's won SB's who were considered average QB's. These QB's benefitted from a running game and a solid defense which is how teams won championships in the 70's, 80's and 90's. Like Dilfer Jim McMahon was carried to a SB win by one of the great defenses in NFL history. The last average QB to win a SB was Bad...errr Brad Johnson in 2002. He was a game manager who benefitted from a solid running game and an excellent defensive performance that forced Rich Gannon into 5 turnovers.

Every QB who's won a SB since Johnson in 2002 except for Flacco is building a HOF resume. The game has become a pass happy league since Johnson won his SB. No longer can teams hide behind an average QB. Like I said that 91 Washington team was a DAMN GOOD team. Not even the great Cowboy teams of the 90's ever went 14-2. No question Rypien played a big part in that team but he only got it done for ONE season. He had one other good season 2 years prior to that but that was it. Rypien was an average QB who was clearly in the right place at the right time.

Like I mentioned Joe Gibbs won 3 SB's with 3 average QB's. You compare Eli with Rypien and Dilfer but in reality Eli compares with Romo more than any QB because both QB's are turnover machines who've made a number of boneheaded plays. This is one of the reasons the board is always littered with Eli vs Romo threads they compare. Their styles certainly don't compare but both are mistake prone. Since 06 Eli has 147 turnovers compared to 113 for Romo. The biggest difference has been WHEN their turnovers have occurred. Romo's have come at some very ill-timed moments in some very critical games late in the season. In Romo's 7 elimination game performances he's suffered 12 turnovers. Since 06 Eli has suffered 5 elimination game turnovers less than half of Romo's total. In 07 Eli suffered 27 turnovers during the regular season but suffered only ONE turnover in the playoffs and SB.

During the regular season in 2011 Eli suffered 20 turnovers but suffered only ONE turnover in the playoffs and SB. It's not always the number of turnovers a QB commits it's when they occur and many of Romo's have come in critical games in Dec/Jan. It's very difficult to overcome turnovers especially on the road in do or die games. For most of the regular season since 06 Romo has been better than Eli. It's the elimination game performances of both QB's especially their head to head meetings in do or die situations that have Eli rated ahead of Romo. QB's are judged by how they perform when it's all on the line and Eli has out-dueled Romo twice in elimination games that resulted in Eli winning 2 SB's.

I think most don't agree with you. Romo's weight is all based on opinion and the opinion of most is that he doesn't look fat and out of shape. You claimed he looks significantly heavier and "significantly" heavier should make him appear fat to everyone especially to those in the media who were standing all around him the other day.

 

[fortdick]

he's surprisingly soft for a 220 lbs QB that is 6'2".

he could easily be at 200 lbs without losing any muscle...thats a pretty fragile QB...which is why the 100 million contract was dumb.

I've said for years he needs to add muscle so he's more durable.

Yeah, all that time he takes of from injuries is killing us.

 

[CowboyMcCoy]

I think it must be because he quit golf.

 

[KJJ]

It's my OPINION and it's not going to change regardless of what anyone says. Romo does have a double chin and he just looks unhealthy in general. His skin pigmentation is poor and he looks overweight...in my OPINION.

This pic was taken around April 30th 3 weeks after his wife gave birth where's his double chin? If he was going to be over weight it would have been then when he and his wife just had a baby. Why would he be significantly heavier a month after that pic with OTA's coming up? As for his skin pigmentation it depends on the lighting you're making all these judgements about his weight and skin coloring based off a series of photographs.

I can say with confidence Romo hasnt out-grown his ex girlfriend.

This pic was from last year. What does it have to do with how Romo looks now?

I took that pic from another thread that was just posted and thought it was from 3 weeks ago not 2012. A comment was made that he didn't look fat there so I thought it was a recent pic.
