You will have angry Romo lovers chasing you from thread to thread if you keep posting this kind of stuff. They can't take it .

Many of us can take it we just see football as more than a 1 man game this is not the PGA the QB success and failures have a lot to do with the entire team not the one position. I can't get angry with those who just do not understand the total team concept of the game.

I will ax you again:

https://encrypted-tbn3.***NOT-ALLOWED***/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSmDmLa98y-5IP60JOQQOGFEzDT3VUa8ZFKUttz1bhpoUffXH0KMc74SUzOWhen will Romo QB our team in the Super Bowl? Give me a year that he will.
If not, then I guess Romo, in your estimidation, is just passing through on his way to the bank, huh?

You ask that question but the answer has more to do with team than individual. I can't say Romo will get a ring what I can say is he has the talent and ability to help a team get a ring but it is not something he will achive alone. If Dallas wins a SB you will not hear me saying Romo won the SB only that the Dallas Cowboys won the SB, he and others will get credit for what truely is a team accomplishment

You would think that'd be so completely straight forward that it'd not be worth mentioning. Yet we have people on this very site that don't remotely get it.

The ultimate team sport--maybe the one where one single player can least affect the total outcome (unless, like in the old days, he played both ways) you have people talking like it's golf. I mean, not even including special teams and sub packages, there are 22 starters in the NFL. There's nothing close to it.

How do you know that the defense won't be good enough this year? You don't.


Um . . . so, conversely and convectuanately, how do you know that the defense will be good enough this year. You don't.
I also do not know that gasoline will go below $3 a gallon this year, but I am banking it won't. Too, I do not know that Elvis won't win a posthummus Oscar for his acting, but it is a safe bet he won't.
My logic defies gravity. I think.

I hate beating a dead horse but until there's a coach in here who is willing to reel Romo in some and who fully appreciates running the football we aren't going anywhere.

Garrett has tried to reel Romo in but the Cowboys historically bad defense won't allow it for long. The Cowboys have been forced to abandon the run in some games due to the defense being shredded for TD's. The defense gave up an NFL record number of 400 yard passers last season and several 4 TD pass games. Murray averaged 5.6 a carry vs NO and would have gone well over 100 yards but the Cowboys had to abandon the run because they got so far behind. Murray ran for 146 yards on only 18 carries vs the Bears but again the team got way behind and had to play catch up.The Cowboys built a 23 point lead vs GB with Murray averaging 7.4 a carry but sticking with the run allowed the Packers to overcome the deficit and nip the Cowboys in the end.

For the Cowboys to win games they have to keep putting points on the board and running the ball keeps your score down. If you have a great defense it allows a you to run the ball in a tight game because you trust your defense to make a stop if the game comes down to it. The Cowboys don't have the luxury of sitting on a one score lead so they have to continue to put points on the board to cover themselves. Garrett reeled Romo in vs NE in 2011 not allowing him to throw the ball in the closing minutes and it backfired. A couple of first downs would have sealed the victory but Garrett decided to put the game in his defenses hands which resulted in Brady marching NE right down the field for the winning score in the closing seconds.

The NFL is a QB driven league and QB's are usually the deciding factor especially in big games but your defense has to step up and make some plays. Most teams are usually separated by 4 excellent players one being the QB. Take away Wilson, Sherman, Lynch and Earl Thomas and Seattle would be an average team.

I never thought you would join the trolls...sadly, I was wrong.

Never take dissent as a sign of disloyalty. I think Marshall Thompson said that on "Daktari" but I could be mistaken.
Talk is cheap and you got a discount, I think.

Yep, This has nothing to do with Romo love. Yes I think he is a very skilled QB capable of helping a team win it all. However you name any SB team and I can name off several players who were major players in helping that team win the SB that is pretty easy to do.

Let me say this: Your response is a good one. You half the talent and gift of gab. you could be a good politician if you want. You certainly convinced me, but i am not sure of what.

I fully agree. Without the outstanding play of several seahawk players they don't win the SB. The 90's Cowboys were great but it was a lot more than Troy Aikman and without the outstanding play by guys like Smith and Irvin, without outstanding play by several guys on defense Troy likely never gets a ring

It is so illogical to think that Romo alone, will win a SB, that is why I wonder how much Education some posters around here have. I have to think that some of the same posters have never played a team sport, been in the Military, or anything else that is required to have someone watch your back as you watch theirs.

I could understand the hatred if these posters were rivals from other teams (which I actually think they are)...it would be easier to understand. But a so called Cowboy fan coming here daily to dog just one player? Trolls, period!

Good job.
Hey, if i weren't so drunk on power and licker I would stand up and applaud.

Hopefully you weren't that peeping tom that was standing outside my bedroom window who gave me and my wife a standing ovation after we finished making love.

Get lost! Go talk to KJJ, ufcrules, or jnday, or anyone else that expresses your stupid idea that Romo alone is what is holding the Cowboys back. smh

all I can say is I have been a fan of this game since 65, I have played this game and I understand it is never one man. One man is not losing the games and one man is not going to win the games. As critical as QB is he still only plays a portion of the game he has nothing to do with what takes place on defense, he can't catch his own pass, he can't block and while his play is very important a lot of what takes place around him matters. There have been many games Romo and the offense put up points late in the game to tie or take the lead only to watch it melt away. I have never said Romo has not made critical mistakes he has

Oh, so you are back to hurting mein feelings, huh. Well, i come from a world where people do not hurt other peoples feelings unless they deserve it. . . . where was i . . . Oh, and let me say this: ideas are never stupid. Ideas are to be discussed, disected and when all else fail, maybe burn that person like that french peson who became a saint. And farther more, if i get lost how can i contribute to this forum, huh? yeah, imagine a world without me. it would be a dismal world. And you would one day roux the fact you talked that way to me. If we could drink from the furry cup of friendship, agin, that would be swell. The alternative (my bottom lip is quivering) is for me to not brighten your world no more.https://encrypted-tbn3.***NOT-ALLOWED***/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSLlMNCSsCwL81waMcA9eVcheVaxwo62PSRYtT-BDMF4xOTgscGdyDu4sw

It was Aikman, Emmitt, Irvin and the final piece Charles Haley that made the 90's Cowboys what they were. The 92 team had 4 future HOF players everyone knows Haley will eventually get in. The 90's teams had a lot of very good players/role players but those teams go nowhere without Aikman, Smith, Irvin and Haley. Every great team had a corp group of at least 4 great players that made those teams special.

You pluck 4 of the best players off the 70's Steelers and they wouldn't have won a single SB during that decade. It doesn't take that much for a team to go from bad to good if they can come up with a terrific QB with some decent weapons around them and a couple of real impact defensive players. The Ravens defense has really started to slide the past 2 seasons with the decline and departure of Ed Reed and Ray Lewis.

Just be sure not to take notes while you're watching and leave them behind because your spelling errors will give you away.

As long as you say "team" and not Romo, I have no issue with that statement.

So if the Cowboys win a title with Romo, who will be the first to say it was a team effort and begrudge Romo his credit?

It cannot work both ways.

I feel pretty safe that a lot of people will view him as vindicated (and finally "great") even if he delivered a Dilfer like performance down the stretch to winning it all.
