I know right!
these guys get paid for this stuff...

Goes against their whole "we can simply flip a switch" approach, but ok. Not that we ever bought that.

I think the point is that Romo said it vs the general population saying it.

I get it, WG. Sorry for demeaning your post; JJT is just not one of my favorite anythings.

I liked when Garrett came out yesterday and denied that Romo was rusty...

I'm a Romo fan and even after the last game I support him but rust or no rust the picks were uncalled for and should never be forced no matter if we are talking vet QB or a rookie QB. I can get the fact he may have been so called Rusty but no excuse for the picks rust had nothing to do with it.

In Romo's defense on this topic, he's very clearly come out many times on the importance of preseason reps in getting players ready, in general, and himself in particular.

I love it when we paraphrase two very different conversations, from two different people answering two different questions, lop off the limbs and all the nuance of what was actually said, and then conclude that the two truncated stubs are somehow contradictory to each other.

What do you want to bet that if you listen to what both Garrett and Romo said together, there's really not any meaningful conflict in their takes?

Exactly - he's pretty coy about admitting stuff and get that but Im glad he came clean - Im not worried about him.

Oh good! I thought it was something more serious, in that case, we should be good to go by Week 4.

... also, now that you've (Romo) got that out of your system, you "best not" come out Sunday looking like death on a door knob. My nerves can't take one more day of this crap.

I've got to hear it for myself.
I also feel he owned up to his shortcomings directly after the game ... although it was hard ... he knew he stunk.

Amen...and to Romo's credit, he even attempted to push the envelope several times and wasn't allowed to participate any more.

I can accept the rust (if he comes back down to earth Sunday). We know that Tony has been playing lights out the past couple years. Especially last year. He also had major back surgery. One thing I know for sure, Tony does NOT play like he did last Sunday on a normal basis. It's just not the case. It was an anomaly. (Unless he does it again this Sunday, then all bets are off

He played fairly in all the preseason games that he participated in with Miami being the exception, Miami gave him fits as they did Tom Brady. He's going to struggle more against tougher opponents, time and injuries have taken their toll on him.

As I said I fully support him as our QB that has not changed. Of course not happy with his performance and will not sugar coat it or look for something or someone to hang it on. I understand being off target due to rust but throwing into a crowd no. He needs to throw it away and live for the next play. I do expect to see Romo play to a high standard and I expect him to play quality ball this weekend.

I don't get why he wasn't mentally prepared.

Physically yes I would get that.

Well thanks for clearing that up for the fans.
