Romo's reaction

[Bleu Star]

What a joke post. This is embarrassing.

I love you too.

Have you been watching other teams without defenses in all those games? Or do you just not care that it takes more than a QB to win a Superbowl?

Right. Try watching this Viking team dominate without an elite QB.

 

[Diehardblues]

Jerry has been fixated on his Tripletts theory forgetting they couldn't win without a defense. We have had nothing more than a good fantasy team.

So it's called hating on him?

I call it expressing my real emotions after stacking up a number of occasions over the years where I have gotten up and left the watering hole with my tail tucked due to yet another untimely turnover during clutch moment.

But let's just pretend like those things never happened.

Let's pretend like any other great QB in the history of this league hasn't had some of those same moments while we're at it. We'll also ignore the awful teams he's had around him and all of the stats that point to him being an elite level QB. It's funny how this is a team sport until it comes to Romo.

It's also funny how every interception or ball batted out of his hands wasn't Romo's fault either. It had to be the WR's fault for running the wrong route and the ball's fault for running away from the comfy confines of his hands.

I sure love Dak. Love Romo too. Both are talented quarterbacks...bring the city a lot of joy... and seem to be really good men.

Both give any decent person...and any decent fan a lot to root for and a lot to respect. It's unfortunate that this thread has featured some toxic crap but oh well. Sad to see after 10 years that there's still poison in a man here in our forum. But I won't get bogged down in someone else's issues.

Go Cowboys!

I need to see Dak against Cincy & GB before any QB controversy.

That will be the very last test for him. Dominated in preseason, has looked fantastic in actual NFL games, now if he shines against tougher teams.. that is it.

I never said he wasn't competitive. If you make it to the NFL, conventional wisdom would say you have some fairly high level of competitive juice inside. However, being a leader of competitors is a whole different ball of wax. I consider him a passive leader... & if anyone would like to prove their claims that he's one of the most vocal members in the locker room with video I got all night. (well just an hour or so but that wouldn't have sounded as good).

Since I'm not in the locker room I can't prove any thing. But if you listen to the players he's undoubtedly their leader. You don't gain that respect being passive. I have no doubt that Peyton was the leader of his teams or that Rodgers is the leader of the Pack. You don't see a whole lot of either of them doing any thing special on the sidelines of things aren't going right. Even Troy wasn't that vocal and he had to deal with some real passionate goofballs, Irvin being the goofiest.

 

[Diehardblues]

What we don't know yet is Dak could become more than Romo. We already know he's better than any backup we've had.

Again, I have maintained that his body no longer does what his mind thinks it should be doing. He's past that stage in his career. But if we all want to pretend as though he's not another strange hit away from the whirlpool. Ok. Let's pretend.

I can't remember the player but in 2012 one of our defenders proclaimed that if the offense can play like that we didn't need a defense. (some thing close to that) I was embarrassed for that player. But that has been the Romo era.

Are you sure that wasn't Coach Jones?

 

[coult44]

We've all missed that. But your targeting the wrong person. Yours Bulls Eye should be on Jerry not Romo.

I'm not targeting anyone. He said he didn't know what we've been watching. I told him.

Believe what you want. If someone hasn't figured it out by now, they're beyond the help of a message board post.

I agree he's one hit away, said it last season. But you have to give the guy the benefit of the doubt. We lucked into Dak and he looks like a bright shiny star right now. But it's a long season with better teams ahead of us. I can't wait to see how he handles it. I'm hoping he goes undefeated and they have a tough decision to make. But I know what that decision is going to be with no doubt. What's really comforting and the main reason I have no problem putting Romo back out there, is Dak is on the sideline and not some bums.

LOL No it wasn't. It was a sad statement. No pride.

And don't forget it was a new, oil slicked balls fault that made him put it on the ground in the Seattle playoff game. Or the bad lights that made the ball get thrown right to the DB in the skin game a couple years later.

 

[BHendri5]

This is too funny. He will not have a reaction because Dak will go to the back and Romo will have start as he always have since he took over. Geez!!! We are getting to supposedly the hard part of the schedule, we need Romo as the starter. the bears defense was good but missed alot of players, the 9ers defense is good cincy defense will be better, there will be a drop off with the packers defense but it is still good, it is the offense that is the juggernaut. Minnesota defense is good, pittsburg defense is good, the giants defense is not as good as they keep giving it credit for, I do not see it. Let uss see how Dak plays Sunday. He continues to impress me just as Romo did when he took over, with that being said I would and will still hand the reins back to Romo when he is ready. Dak will have his time.

I don't see any one giving Romo a pass here. But that don't change the fact that what surrounded him most of his career wasn't pitiful. Yet he was able to accomplish more than most would ever dream of.

All 4 or 5 of them?

Right now this offense with Dak is like an Alex Smith type offense. Safe but solid(the OL puts it up a notch). It's pretty impressive for a rookie. But it could be very explosive and lethal with Romo. Imagine the run game when defenses decide to make that beat them instead of making the QB beat them.
