Image: Romo not the reason Dallas can't win

[ufcrules1]

Jerry Jones in previous offseasons, barring this one, gave veterans stupid contracts .

Yeah, over paying vets with back breaking contracts is the reason our team has so many holes.

Romo likes this sarcasm from you.

But that's none of my business.

I don't honestly see how anybody can trust Romo with a lead. I can't remember the exact stat-line, but when the team is up by a TD or less and has been in the lead for the majority of the game...his stat-line stinks in the last 10 minutes. If we are coming from behind, that's when he plays well.

So having a good defense would certainly help, but I still wouldn't trust him to hold a lead because he's blown leads with boneheaded decisions and bad throws before.

And to me, there was absolutely no reason to extend his contract to the extent Dallas did. I think there is a large fallacy that he's a 'young 34 years old.' When you get older, your body doesn't recover as quickly. Extending his contract and thinking he'll play well beyond 35 years old is just foolish.

I don't think Tony has been helped with the porous defense, questionable at best O-Line (they did have some good years) and I think Garrett was probably as bad of a coach for him as we could have ended up with. But, he's not an elite QB and he's made his fair share of bad mistakes that he has nobody to blame but himself.

I didn't know that Romo was responsible for the defense in holding the other team from scoring? I also didn't know that Romo was in charge of playcalling and to make sure that the coach runs the ball in situations where we have the lead? No I thought Romo's responsibility was to be QB rather than be responsible for defense and playcalling? Whatever though.....thats not my business.

Only ignorant fans and media say Romo's the reason why Dallas can't win. He's a very, very good QB more than capable of leading a team to the Super Bowl. His problem is that he's forced to try to do too much because of crappy defenses and some questionable play calling and clock management.

Please point out those that post here who say this. I am interested since I can only think of one, and I'm not certain he isn't saying that so YOUR head will explode.

Wait, so you're saying the whole Romo is a jinx thing never happened? There weren't posts about Duke losing because he and Garrett attended the game, or about a Spurs loss? You haven't seen Romo get blamed by fans and the media for really stupid things? That's pretty shocking.

He's responsible for getting his offense to out-score the other team. He's also responsible for not throwing crippling interceptions and making boneheaded turnovers. As a fan, that is my business.

Dont try to post logic into a Romo thread. He could throw for 600 yrds and throw the game ending INT on a bonehead throw and the 600 yrds will forever be a reason as to why Romo isnt at fault for his game ending INT

The next time either of you present logic will be the first time. Prioritizing something just because it happens at the end of the game is logic fail 101.

Or he could throw for 170 yards and throw 2 picks and people will blame anybody but hi.

Also in 2 of 3 win or go home week 17 games that Romo has played in the last 3 years, 4 interceptions.

But that's none of my business

How did he do the other 15 weeks of those season that made the "win or go home" scenario a possibility?

You'd have posted the stats here if you had them, I'm sure. But this is interesting.

Anybody have anything lying around to support this? It seems inconsistent with his overall 4th quarter rating, but I don't doubt YR that something like what he's suggesting exists. I'd be curious to unpack the stat though.

Misleading thread title for what really was a lame meme.

Sounds like a defensive problem or a play calling problem not a Romo problem.

Those don't count. I'm not sure why they just don't.

He's not the only one responsible for getting his offense to out-score the other team. The defense has to do their part, as do the RBs, WRs, TEs, OL...

And he's responsible for not causing turnovers. By and large he's done a great job of that. You don't have to avoid turnovers altogether... no one can do that. And a defense is tasked with causing and recovering turnovers.

So the outscoring and turnover theories both involve the defense also.
