Romo vs White

[haleyrules]

This is false. Can you name another QB that had 0 incompletions outside 1 b.s. call that the NFL failed to justify for an entire year of trying. I think being pretty much perfect in the second half of a playoff game on the road against a better team is coming through when it counts, but then again I realize game results aren't just a QB competition.

Ha! What was the final score. Tony choked on the big games that counted for...yeah, you guessed it right....for 10 long...sad years...good riddance...finally, bring in a QB that can, finally, read an NFL Defense make a real difference and lead his team to a post season victory.

The Greenbay game was the final nail in Romos, failed to be a real QB 's, coffin. He was considered to be a choking bum long before that fiasco. That sealed his fate. There were 5 long minutes to go in that game. Chokomo changes the play at the line of scrimage, like the idiot he has always been,ok, no real HC would have allowed it, l give the choker that, and the goes, with his noodle arm and airs it out to butter fingers, end result failure...once again. This fool needed 1 miserable yrd and really only needed to kill some time. So, he has the best RB that year AND the sure first down specialist in Witten...do what do whst the idiot needed to do...yes, you guessed it...he throws it awaw! Tosses it out to Brysnt. Needed a flaming yard...tosses the season away...,for nothing. That will be the chokers legacy...stupiditity..complicated by self glory. A real fool not controlled by a real HC. Sad.

I will have to re-watch that game, Tony only threw 19 passes for the whole game but strangely enough Green Bay also ran the ball more times than the Cowboys did. I'm not sure if they were just really deliberate but they didn't get off enough plays that game, for whatever reason.

I wouldn't pay any attention to the haleyrules troll... he spits out a bunch of random utterances and they occasionally form something resembling English. Unfortunately, it's usually gibberish.

Amen!

White had a better defense, but let's not pretend Romo didn't have weapons. Romo played his entire career with the best TE the Cowboys ever had, not to mention Terry Glenn, Miles Austin, Roy Williams, Terrell Owens, and Dez Bryant. Some underperformed, but Dallas gave Romo receivers.

White played with Pearson and Hill when they were in their 30's, having their pro bowl years in the 70's with Staubach.

I'm not saying one was better than the other, but White's teams weren't what some think. He was a pro bowler and second team all pro when most of those super bowl champs were slowing down.

Yeah, I don't think we got to see either's full potential due to lack of a viable Championship-caliber, fully-addressed squad for both, respectively.

Danny White sure was impressive, wasn't he, Chuck!?

I rooted hard for Romo and White, but they both had the fatal flaw of not being able to get their teams over the hump. Both made turnovers and mistakes in the playoffs at costly times. Who was the better passer/playmaker? Probably Romo. However, had he played in White's era, back when quarterbacks were allowed to be hit and clobbered on nearly every play, how long could he have lasted? I'm not questioning Romo's toughness. The guy was as gritty as they come. His body was frail and let him down though, in an era where the qb is protected. I don't think he would have had any more success than White did with those early 80's teams, because of his gambling nature, turnovers, and the fact that he probably would have been hurt all the time. And I also don't think White would have won a superbowl with Romo's teams. I think he would have put up good numbers, but his turnovers and lack of leadership would have cost us. This is why I choose Aikman over the both of them. He was more talented, more clutch, and a true leader. I think he could have won at least one of the NFC title games that White played in, and had more playoff wins than Romo did with Romo's teams. We'll never know though.

Good stuff, Jack!

100% agree with your take!

Amen!

Think I mistyped in the first sentence, I meant his sole incompletion in the second half was that Dez play. Yeah, the amount of plays run by both teams was small that game from my memory. My point was, if you're objective, you can't state that Romo didn't "step up" that game.

 

[Gator88]

The Greenbay game was the final nail in Romos, failed to be a real QB 's, coffin. He was considered to be a choking bum long before that fiasco. That sealed his fate. There were 5 long minutes to go in that game. Chokomo changes the play at the line of scrimage, like the idiot he has always been,ok, no real HC would have allowed it, l give the choker that, and the goes, with his noodle arm and airs it out to butter fingers, end result failure...once again. This fool needed 1 miserable yrd and really only needed to kill some time. So, he has the best RB that year AND the sure first down specialist in Witten...do what do whst the idiot needed to do...yes, you guessed it...he throws it awaw! Tosses it out to Brysnt. Needed a flaming yard...tosses the season away...,for nothing. That will be the chokers legacy...stupiditity..complicated by self glory. A real fool not controlled by a real HC. Sad.

Why do you hate Romo so much? I do have to say it's funny to see what you say here, but when the game had a chance to be clinched by Dak in the playoffs last year, he couldn't even get the ball past the line of scrimmage, yet I haven't heard anything other than praise for him from you.

Witten WON NOTHING. He too is a choker. DeMarcus Ware WON NOTHING here, also was a choker. If you are giving that title to Romo, then give it to every player that has put on a Cowboys uni since they last won a championship in 1995.

Man you seriously need to get on medication.

2014 was a great year for Romo. He played the best ball of his career, but I was pretty aggravated by the hail mary play that Romo went for in that situation. It didn't seem like a good decision or call. Don't get me wrong. I was cheering like crazy when it was initially ruled a catch, but man, why take that risk when you only need a yard, and you clearly need to milk more time off the clock? This is what impresses me so much about Dak. He seems to not force things, and take what is there. It's the biggest difference I noticed between him and Romo. Dak is patient and methodical, where Romo was always the high stakes gambler type.

Tony Hill didn't turn 30 until 1986, which was his last season. He made the pro-bowl in 1985.

Tony Romo can't ready NFL defenses? That is just dumb.

That's a cute revisionist history, but we do know how Troy would play on flawed (but still good enough to make the playoffs) teams because from 1996-1999 the Cowboys made the playoffs three times and Troy stunk, throwing 8 interceptions against only two touchdowns, with the Cowboys going 1-3 in those games. Troy was great as a game manager on pre-free agency super teams, but came down to earth considerably once the team started shedding talent. There is zero evidence he would have done squat on Danny or Tony's teams.
