Talking Cowboys 3.14 (Romo)

[khiladi]

Romo winning a competition in camp is worthless because he can't be trusted to survive an actual game. Or even just a preseason game. And if you can't survive an actual game, how pretty you looked in training camp doesn't mean a darn thing. So all the "open competition" talk is a joke. Romo isn't entitled to an open competition and he's not going to get it.

If a DL fell on Dak sliding awkward like that, with a curved back, he more than likely could have herniated his disks..

'Bad back' and all, Romo's darts in the Philly game were like ten times the speed of Dak's throws and Philly automatically backed off the blitz off the threat of his arm..

And if Dak has the right to earn the job, Romo has more of a right to earn it back, especially if he's better and one is making excuses about 'health' which of it even happened, would put Dak right back in.. the only people that fear competition are those that know Dak would lose.. because if Romo is fragile and won't survive, which to them is supposedly inevitable when it comes to Romo, God forbid start, then Dak comes in any moment..

Linehan doubled play-action usage with Dak as QB, so yes it was different and the passing game was built a lot more deception this year and the thread of Zeke and yes, it was actually Romo a lot more in 2014 than Dak this year...

Murray was a threat in 2014. So Dak's success was a byproduct of who he played with, and Romo's success was not as much?

Murray isn't even close to Zeke, let alone a home run threat.. but even then, guess what..

You can bring up all sorts of subjective nonsense that deal nothing with the actual point which is, the fact of the matter is Linehan more than doubled play-action usage with Dak, meaning the threat of Zeke and running game was way more dominant for Dak in the passing game than it was even close to for Romo.. and the amount of 8 and 9 man fronts Dak saw because of it as well, and Dak's deep ball is not even close to Romo..

And Romo, despite seeing more two-deep cover 2 zone, threw 11 more TDs without play-action..

Murray was a threat in the passing game, not with Zeke's speed, but still a threat out of the backfield. Murray 416 yds receiving. Zeke 363 yds receiving. On the ground, Murray 392-1845 (4.7 ypc), 13 tds. Zeke 322-1631 (5.1 ypc), 15 tds. So the defense had to focus on Murray, and it wasn't all on Romo.

As for Romo throwing more tds, he attempted 124 more passes than Dak. Finishing with only 3,705 yds. Dak in 124 less pass attempts, had 3,667 yds.

So Dak's success was because of Linehan and Zeke. Romo's success was his reading the defenses.

I'll just agree to disagree, and move on.

And in less pass attempts, Linehan more than doubled the amount of play-action used for Dak.. do you understand what exactly your attempting to prove here?

Nobody is disputing that Murray is a good back..

I just said you think Dak's success was because of Linehan, and Romo's success was he reading the defense. And Murray was not near the threat of Zeke. So teams didn't focus on Murray as they did Zeke. We disagree. I give Dak more credit than you do. Chill.

Romo had 11 more TDs on 24 less attempts than Prescott.

Dude, he's old and busted. The number of 37 year old QBs with his egregious injury history who came back to be elite is minuscule. It's a bad gamble to trust the team to Romo at this point when you have Dak.

Drew Bledsoe was 7 years younger than Romo and had nowhere near the history of injuries and he lost his job forever without getting a chance to earn it back. Saying Romo has a "right" to anything is simply not true. He's not entitled to anything, and no decently run team would choose Romo over Dak in a million years.

If someone tells me thanks in that manner, it's a goodbye.

Not in this situation. Goodbye is goodbye. Not that we will see what happens. He is still a cowboy, until he isn't. That is the bottom line.

Drew Bledsoe was absolute garbage.. Tony Romo was not..

and there is no risk for Romo, only for Dak and his rabid fans.. because if Romo gets injured, like his homers say is a CLEAR eventuality, Dak plays right away.. they should have nothing to fear..

but it's clear they know Romo is better so they don't want an open competition which he already won last year and did all the time in practice and in fact, in the only game both of them actually played despite 'bad back' and 'busted' and all..
