Romo's attitude lately

[Romonater]

When he signed the contract and had his interview and his interview during OTA, it seems like he is more determined than ever. There's something different about the way he's communicating to the media, his demeanor, and his statements. Anybody agree or disagree?

Here's a quote I read. "We were 8-8 the last couple years. That doesn't sit well with me. I don't think I'm an 8-8 quarterback" - Tony Romo

does not mean anything, needs to show it in games and not throw 4 pics in games

 

[BHendri5]

It means alot. Yes, he is different. I heard his interview today I enjoyed it

 

[Zordon]

I' like to say it's all in your head. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt that his attitude didn't suddenly change at 33 yrs old and 100million dollars. Romo seemed to change his approach with the media 2-3 years ago.

Romo has been saying the right things for the past 2-3 years, it is nothing new sir.. It is time to deliver in big time moments from now on.

I'll be happy with the same old Romo, so it's all the same to me, but I do think this team is developing a personality, and I agree that it seems like you can hear in from the players--particularly from Tony.

I'm interested to hear how the defensive players talk coming out of camp. They were all big fans of Rob Ryan, so it'll be interesting to hear them compare. To my ear, they all sound pretty guarded about the change so far. I suppose that's to be expected early on with new coaches following one they really, really liked.

Who cares as long as he wins in January...Doesn't matter if he has the worst OLINE in the NFL, or the top defense in the NFL...HE WILL BE JUDGED BY ALL OF US BASED ON WHERE HE TAKES THE DALLAS COWBOYS

Not by all of us. I'll judge him by his play on the field. I'll judge the team by how far they go as a team. A large part of that is QB play. A bigger part is not.

If his players are good enough to give him his STATS, then his players should be good enough when it's crunch time and we need HIM to carry the team.

So far in all these years, he can't do it. Maybe the 8th time is the charm.

He's cost us opportunities in big games. All QBs do from time to time. Nobody with any sense, though, is going to hold the QB responsible for the performance of the entire team. No matter how many times the team falls short. I know it's easier to do that since the QB is the face of the franchise and touches the ball on almost every offensive play, but it's just not a sensible way to judge a player. I'm well aware that's the basis you use to judge him, regardless. I just don't believe you're being sensible.

Either way, I'm happy to have him and I don't think any perceived attitude change on his part is going to matter one way or another. He's just a dang good QB.

He looks bloated.

same old same old; take the easy route and blame the QB. Nothing new to see here.

I am as big a fan of romo as any but enough with the preemptive excuse making by the usual suspects

He is the qb and his job, is to lead the team to victories and championships

Romo will be, and should be, judged by whether the team wins or not

People who would do otherwise are romo fans not fans of the Dallas cowboys

Ditto, not everyone is so ignorant to judge a QB solely by his record as some do. Some of us realize there are 21 other starters on the team who have a say in the W-L record as well.

If the other 21 positions are so incidental to winning the game, why do some ( Calvin Johnson, Mario Williams, etc.) make as much as most QBs do? Why even bother drafting other positions since apparently all you need is 21 JAGS and the QB is expected to do the same as a QB who has 21 Probowlers ( not saying this is the case with the Boys but your statement would suggest that you think the QB with 21 JAGS should be held up to the same standar5d in W-L as the QB with 21 Probowlers on it ).

Yes, the QB is by far the most important position and yes Romo has lost games by making bad plays at times. He's also won games at times the team had no business winning.

Give him an average O-ine at the least and he'll do just fine IMO.

As for bringing out the "fans of Romo, not the Cowboys" tirade, I just had to LOL. Such so called "fans" as yourself seem only truly to be "fans" when times are great ( not even when good, must be great ) and need a simplified scapegoat when Superbowls aren't gathering in piles at your feet.

As a fan of the team, I think Romo gives the team the best chance to win despite deficiencies in other areas of the team ( O-line particular ). You think otherwise apparently somehow. Who knows why ( actually I guess we all know why - ESPN, etc ).

Oh, well. Enough of my rambling rant. Have a great dfay.

Yeah.
I think Romo turned the corner mentally 2-3 years ago. Then marriage and and becoming a father further matured him.

His prersonality says its wrong to point fingers or boast, but that gets mistaken as passive. Someone has told him to be more forceful to the press.

He still has had some setbacks--like 100% of every other QB in the league--but he also still has some evolving to do. Because of a bad crunch time rep amoung some fans and foes, anytime he has a bad game it now gets magnified 10x.
He just needs to avoid the 2-3 really bad games (maybe only 1-2 a year like brady or rodgers?) while still carrying the team in his good weeks.
He's gettng paidto do that.
