The fact Brady didnt have to play from behind as much is irrelevant. The graphic was specific, Most INT's while tied or LEADING in the 4th quarter. Not coming from behind.
fine. then what's the graphic on how we got that lead? did romo give it to us only to have the D fold like a cheap suit on a rainy day? we all seem to have what we "remember" from the games. what we "remember" tends to support how we already believe. any way to compensate for thinking differently is "making excuses" or "protecting" depending on your point of view.
yes, i'd be a fool to say romo has not made some really bad plays at a really bad time. however, i can't think of any qb who hasn't. trying to put things into a graph and say THERE is just ignorant. different times, different situations, different teams, different schemes...but hey, 8 ints, nuff said. he sucks.
the path to simplicity seems to be where people go vs. the path to analysis and fair judgement.
you see, i've also seen romo put us ahead with INCREDIBLE play only to have the other team march right down the field at will to take the lead and ending the game by handing us a loss, or giving romo like 17 seconds to "make a come back". so he's put into a bad situation and makes a bad play.
like almost any and every qb will do.
in this thread i've also seen people say "i don't care about other qb's, just our own".
where there's unbiased judgement if ever i saw it. rate our qb by your own needs and not by how the position itself is played out around the league. singular logic like this haunts romo like the simmons mansion haunts luther heggs.
preconceived perception based off a few plays and no real comprehension of the game.
in the end, threads like this are about as pointless as posting a picture of your hamburger on facebook. been there, done that, and no one really gives a damn except for the opportunity to re-rage, or hope someone gives a damn you have onion rings on your burger.
romo is one of the better qb's in the league. i firmly believe no other qb could have done much more behind what tony has been given. way back when even before romo took the reins, i was hating our OL when hating our OL was uncool. my biggest fear of a mobile qb behind that block of swiss cheese was we'd ignore it for far too long, counting on a mobile qb to compensate for a lack of a solid foundation. i never really imagined we'd take this long by goint into the end of his own career before addressing such a glaring need. but i do recall an almost violent anger in me on the path that we were headed and it showed far too much in my postings. my own "rage" was quite clear and overstated, to say the least. i recall WG trying hard to calm me down and i just had to take some breaks not from the board, but the game itself. i had to put it in a place in my own life where it didn't affect me to badly because it's simply something i cannot change.
so i've just come to accept that this is my team and always will be. the good, the bad, and the romo.
i'm thankful we've addressed the OL in a quality manner, not an afterthought. i'm glad to see us cut from bad contracts even at the expense of historic players. i'm also very gratified to see some emotion from #88 again and wish it would catch fire, not something to be calmed down.
yes, i wish fans would also chill out and put thought into their posts, but i went through my own time too when i simply couldn't do that. so instead of trying to calm them down, i'll try to calm down the situation and speak my own thoughts but appreciate theirs as well, even if i've heard it a thousand times before.
some fans are always going to put the entire blame on the qb and while that's the epitome of ignorance to me, i can't change that any more than i can change what the cowboys do. so when it gets too bad, i just ignore and move on cause nothing i tell them will change their point of view and simply won't end well. so no sense in getting into something that's not going to improve me, them, or the situation.
