Terrance Williams preferred Romo over Dak

[erod]

My God .. I like Romo also but man some of you need to let it go, Romo had chances and didnt beat much less complete teams in the playoffs.. thats just a fact.

So you didn't think Dez caught it?

 

[erod]

if you want to be a miserable fan be 1 just dont project your misery on others. Those who havent seen the rings have choices as well. We are guaranteed nothing and if you can get pumped for possibilities thats on you. and if you were 33 you would have techinically youd just have been very young

Did you watch full games and remember them from when you were 5 years old?

So you didn't think Dez caught it?

Side note: there will always be one thing insidious funny about that play as far as Tony Romo critics are concerned. The general consensus has been Romo should have thrown the ball short to Cole Beasley and convert the down. That did not happen.

What did happen was Romo throwing a perfect, deep, sideline pass to Dez Bryant. No matter what anyone's thoughts on what happened next, whether:

• Bryant caught the ball and the Dean Blandino overturned the call on the field (actual event) or
• Bryant never gained control of the ball

The fact remains that Romo did his job as quarterback and threw Bryant a catchable pass that, if Bryant had done his job as any professional wide receiver should do, would have resulted in a first-and-goal situation inside the five-yard line. So. Who did or continues to get the finger pointed at by Romo critics?

Answer: Romo

Insane.

Every comment about the event reminds me of David Tyree catching the ball against his helmet, helping the Giants beat the Patriots in the Super Bowl. A spectacular, almost unseen and incredibly difficult receiving effort helped Elli Manning and New York to a championship ring. No matter how it is looked at, Bryant did not make a much easier catch and Romo was and still getting screwed over for it.

I can get behind this, i find it funny though when some act as if one QB did something the other didnt do..I like Romo, I like Dak they are both good QB's NEITHER could/can so far overcome the problems this franchise actually has.

 

[nobody]

However good or bad Romo was (he was really good), it has no bearing on how good or bad Dak is. Dak stands or falls on his own merits. Dak's struggles are all mental at this point and I think it stems from his injuries. He has the talent.

Why do both sides have to bash the other?

No but it wasnt long after that . Im coming 62 and i remember clearly the first super bowl against the dolphins and games sooner than that. Thats 51 years which is less than the 33 your talking as well as my dad was a packer and dallas fan and I remember vividy our football discussions early on in life.

That said I was being somehat tongue and cheek but apparently you missed that. I get it that 27 years is a long time but weve also had some very good memories within the failures

No QB can overcome the problems this franchise has had. Even Aikman died a slow death.

Obviously though some QBs are simply better than others, and some QBs have had better coaching and personnel management than others.

so essentially it came down to one call and one play. make it and move on. don't make it and you go home. should it come down to that? others are criticized for allowing a team to get to that situation. now Romo is defended.

 

[tyke1doe]

.... and Dak Prescott.

I don't know if I'd call Dak injury prone, yet.

 

[tyke1doe]

lol @ 'injury prone'. People love that term. And I rather see Tyron Smith, just kidding Let's apply the injury prone nomenclature logically to this particular topic:

• Tony Romo was injury prone
• Tony Romo was so injury prone that some people, fans and media alike, continually state to this day that Romo was endanger of suffering paralysis or worse by playing
• Tony Romo was so injury prone that some people stated (and likely believed) Jerry Jones thought the exact same thing and made absolute certain he removed all risk of his former franchise quarterback from suffering a debilitating injury by fully endorsing Dak Prescott as his new starting quarterback

That could be a sound argument. Removing Romo from the field eliminated any risk of Romo suffering another football related injury as a Dallas Cowboy. There is one problem which undermines its intended logical conclusion.

Football is a violent sport. Injuries, including significant ones, do not follow a schedule and can happen to any athlete at any time (refer to Prescott's October 2020 ankle injury as one example).

Logically, Romo cannot step on any football field, during practice or gameday, if anticipated risk of possible injury will result in paralysis or worse.

Additionally, Romo could not remain slotted as the backup quarterback since potential severe injury risk remains if Prescott could not play.

No one can argue injuries do not occur. They happen. They certainly happened to Romo. However, any logical argument that Jones and/or Jason Garrett was 'protecting' Romo for his future physical well-being disintegrated when Romo played that single series against the Eagles. And the same argument has no legs to try and stand itself up again upon by either man keeping Romo on as Prescott's backup. Illogically? Yes. There was plenty of that to go around in 2016. Logically? No.

Tryon Smith.
I had to laugh at that one myself.

Let's add another point to your Tony Romo column.
*Tony Romo was 36 when he retired. The average retirement age for NFL QB is mid-30s. Usually, quarterbacks retire because they're older and either injury prone or their skills have deteriorated.

Second, I don't think it was a matter of Jones and Garrett "protecting" Romo. Again, it was a combination of factors. And, yes, football is a dangerous sport which subjects its players to injury on any given play. But I'll use a box analogy: yes, a boxer runs the risk of concussions (which, essentially, is what a knockout is). But, there's a difference between a younger player who hasn't experience many concussions getting one or two and a veteran/older boxer who has sustained several over the course of a career. People would be encouraging retirement for the latter more so than for the former - unless one has a rare situation like that with Tua.

But, hey, it's something we will never be able to prove. History turned out the way it did. Shrug.

I bash both Romo and Dak because they are not good enough. They may as well be the same guy.

 

[DallasEast]

Second, I don't think it was a matter of Jones and Garrett "protecting" Romo.

Perhaps not but the assumption has been restated a gazillion times as being true by observers outside the front office during the past seven years. And Jones, Stephen Jones and Garrett, at the very least, alluded to Romo's health being a side benefit for Prescott taking over as the starter. Personally, I do not believe outside observers and the front office/head coach meant the exact same thing though.

Romo never had a defense this good and he damn sure didnt have the coaching


Yall complained about Jason Garrett for 10 years, yet Romo was somehow supposed to overcome his and Jerry’s ineptitude???

Dak played for JG also.. Romo also had BP.. again I think Romo was a damn good QB I'm not one of the wierd ones trying to use one over the other as one has done something the other couldn't.

Dak is heading into his 4th season with a SB-winning coach

Romo started under BP for 1 season. Romo wouldve had way more success had he played under a SB-winning head coach for half of his career
