Romo says he will get better in the future

[Risen Star]

All I know is if Tom Brady was drafted by the Cowboys he would have no rings and carry the label of a choke artist.

Hey, Romo....if you can't win with an oil man and his son running the football operations, when can you?

 

[Clove]

The reason Romo fans love him, has nothing to do with how good he is. He comes off as a good guy. Never gets in trouble, always smiling, just a good guy in front of camera, and possibly off camera. I don't know.

But guys like myself and others want victories on the field. We don't want excuses. We care about the bottom line and the bottom line has been this, he chokes. His fans blame it on everyone else around him, but now he only has Witten who's left over. They've gotten rid of everyone else on the team but those two. He's had about 3 teams with different personnel. The other talent on the team is a good excuse to why we can't win Super Bowls, but not why we can't make the playoffs.

My advice to you Romo, shut up and put up.

That was Orton, genius.

yeah Romo has never done this...smh

And if Romo was the QB of the pats, they would have no rings in the 21st century either.

I don't agree.

I do agree with this. I think Romo would have to be part of a team like the Baltimore Ravens to win a super bowl. He would need to be carried by the team, not lead the team there.

 

[iceberg]

Can you just show me 2 or 3 people who said it? I want to know so I can put them on ignore myself. It would literally be the most absurd comment I have ever heard on here.



Yeah, because everything you said in there I have already heard before in one way or another. I'm not going to tear your whole post apart and debate you on it. Some of the stuff I completely agreed with as well. I don't think you can use stats/graph alone to support an argument. I agreed with that part. Your line about fans who put the entire blame on Romo caught my eye because I see that line on here all the freaking time but I can't remember seeing anyone say they put the entire blame on Romo. It's just something people who love Romo say all the time because they can't stand for him to get any blame.

show me 1 fan who can't stand romo to get *any* blame.

then again, pass. i'm moving out.

Yeah, that is a good idea.. let's just put each other on ignore.

Corrected stats:

Since 2010, int% per attempt, with less than 5 minutes to play:
[Difference in int% per attempt in brackets from first 55:00 of game]
+ means player is x percentage points better in the last 5:00 than the first 55:00. - means player is x points worse.]

1. Rodgers: 1.4% [+.4]

14. Dalton: 3.9% [-1.4]
15. Cutler: 4.1% [-1.5]
16. Palmer: 4.3% [-1.3]

Dead center. Not bad! The increase in int% from the first 55:00 of games is a little alarming, but it's not the worst. He places 11th overall in that regard.

**Interesting Note: The 3 superbowl winning QBs in this span all turn the ball over less in the final 5 minutes than they do in the first 55. I don't think that's a coincidence considering that 5 of the 7 SB winning QBs on this list are positive in this regard, and the other 2 (Brees, Brady) aren't too far in the red.

Not as good for Romo here. Ranks 11 out of 16 in passer rating under 5 minutes, and what's more has the steepest decline in play from the first 55 minutes to the last 5.

Some awesome hard work in danger of getting lost in the shouting. Really good stuff, Ntegrase96.

doubt that.

same old same old from another romo hater. Do you really think anyone even bothers to read your stuff on Romo anymore. I did not bother to read it and the simple reason is that it as all the rest of the romo hate is all opinion from someone that would never give him any credit no matter what.

 

[PA Cowboy Fan]

I do agree with this. I think Romo would have to be part of a team like the Baltimore Ravens to win a super bowl. He would need to be carried by the team, not lead the team there.

I do think Romo is capable of winning a Sb if he would do less.The fact is he is too reckless with the ball. It isn't all the time. In fact some games he looks like a HOF QB. But you just know that a mistake will happen in a late season game somehow. He says he has to get better in the future but it's a little late for some of us to believe him and no I don't put all the blame on Romo but he has never had great games in those win and your in games either.

what would be interesting would be if we could put together the following stat for each QB:

In those last 5 minutes how often that QBs D gave up points; what the D ranking for that QB's D was for the last 5 Minutes; and what the average score was for that team in the last 5 minutes (ahead by 2, behind by 3, whatever). With all that data then I think you could indeed do a better job of ranking the QBs as regards how they played in those last 5 minutes and how tough a situation it was for them. In other words how much pressure each QB faced to make a play. I would hazard a guess that Romo would be in the top 10 at least; and probably in the top 5 in having the most pressure to make a play to win a game.

How much of that is because NO ONE ELSE SEEMS TO EVER MAKE A PLAY WHEN IT MATTERS? So Tony figures it is him or no one.

Like I said, it isn't all on him. But when he turns the ball over, he contributes to the problem. He has quite a lot of help on offense. In fact the offense should move better than it does but I blame a lot of that on the coach. The problem with Tony is that he hasn't seemed to learn since his rookie season that you can't turn the ball over. I think it's in his head at this point. I know it's in mind.

Don't play too close of attention to old ufc... as far as I can tell, he's kinda like a deaf-blind. He puts everyone who exposes his illogic on ignore, while simultaneously being put on ignore by scores of posters weary of his antics. The result is that his posts just kinda bounce off the walls, not really being noticed by anyone but him.

well it's my own damn fault for hitting "show ignored content" cause i wanted to see if my war and peace got a reply.

when will i ever learn?

Except he doesn't have a problem turning the ball over, except in the fantasy land between your ears. Do you even know how many turnovers he had last year?

 

[Cebrin]

No he wouldn't. Did the coach throw the 3 bonehead interceptions against the Redksins in 2012? His last "win and in" game?

Can you show us some of those fans here that put ALL of the blame on Romo? I hear that line all the time here but I have NEVER seen anyone put all the blame on Romo. That would be an incredibly ignorant statement if someone said it.

Now, does Romo share in "some" of the blame? You better believe he does. He has never done anything special in win and you're in games or playoff games. He plays below his regular season stats in those type of games.​

​

Let's see....Sacked 6 times (pressured every down almost) forcing three fumbles against Minnesota,
End zone pass dropped by the receiver in the Giants game. False start. Punter kicks a measly punt that's returned 25 yards leaving Eli with only 37 yards to the end zone. Defense folds in 6 plays TD. Game over against a defense that led in sacks and pressures and went on to win the Superbowl.
He botched the field goal against Seattle. Stupid Play. He also played horribly against Washington. Although, our defense was every bit as bad. I agree with you, he's had his share of dumb dumb but, I could point a lot more fingers to the rest of the team than Romo. Since he's been at helm, we've had an NFL record bad defense, NFL record penalized offensive line, franchise low rushing TD's, defensive turnovers yada yada. We suck. I can't really say that I believe there is one QB in history that could have done much better given the atrocity of mediocrity this franchise has been throwing on the field for the past 18 years. Maybe, maybe not. As sucky as we have been, I'd feel sorry for any QB and I know for a fact they'd be getting the same scrutiny. I am excited to say though, that it appears that we are moving in a wiser direction. I hope Jerry doesn't blow it up.

He had only 10 picks in 15 games last year and played the last 4-5 games in real pain.
How can you say he hasn't learned anything?

He turned it over less than almost every player in the entire league!
