Root cause of the Problem?

[Scranton Tiger]

I know this is probably reaching, but thought I would put it out there anyway. Back in week one while watching the Browns game, I remember the commentators talking about how Romo worked in the off season trying to be more relaxed and quiet in the pocket. Wanted to stay away from "happy feet" and stay in the pocket a little more instead of scrambling so much. Well, most of the really big plays last season came when Romo left the pocket. Most of the big plays when he left the pocket went for big yardage to Owens.

Like I said, I know it's a reach. What do you guys think?

It's not a reach. He was trying to be Tom Brady and he's not. He's not tall enough and he doesnt have enough velocity with the deep ball. He's at his best when he's on the move.

He can't be like Tom Brady this year because Proctor will get him killed if he is a stationary target. You get happy feet when the pocket is collapsing on you from pressure up the middle.

Tom Brady has a cannon, is a leader and has a hand full of bling. Thats why he can't be Cool Tom, not his feet.

We have a winner!

I know quoting yourself is a little silly but .....

I think it is, but thats just my opinion.

You want your QB to stand tall in a pocket. Its one of the main thing coaches try to get their QB's to do. Now, when it breaks down and you need to improvise, by all means do so.
