Weeden is a good second option for zero trust. I went with Lee because of his history and his auto-start status if healthy. If Romo goes down, I think I'd rather throw Vaughan to the wolves and get him some experience than put Lost-in-the-Sauce back out there. I know the Cardinal defense was one of the better defenses in the NFL last season but come on.

I have no problem if people do not not trust romo, that is their prerogative. However to use the GB game is pretty ridiculous.

They were never up 21-6, it was 21-13 in the 3rd quarter, but don't let facts get in the way. TR had zero turnovers and only 4 incomplete passes for the game.

I guess he should have ran beside Murray to make sure he didn't fumble or maybe went down and help Dez hold onto the ball. Oh, I know. He should rushed the passer to get Rodgers off the field.

And what is with complaining with throwing only on 3rd down? Is romo calling the plays now?

Lots of things to complain about with that game, but romo wasn't one of them.

Hey..

The question is who do you not trust.

It wasn't whom don't you like.

I like Romo.

I also liked Don Meredith, Craig Morton, Jerry Rhome, Hogeboom, Carter and Drew Bledsoe..

but they couldn'the win consistantly, blew a lot of games and demoralized the fandom.

Frankly,

until last year..

that was a good description of our boy.

And to me, still is until he SHOWS us in 3 inch letters that isn't true.

That's just me.

Bill Parcells always said..

you are what your record says you are.

I believe him.

And no amount of alibis or if then and what-is can explain it away.

That's just me.

You blame the Green Bay loss on Romo?

He put the Dez non-catch pass right where it needed to be. He handed the ball just fine to Murray when he fumbled running through a hole the size of a humvee.

IMO the non-catch and Murray's fumble are the two biggest reasons Dallas didn't go to Seattle.

The play calling was coming from the sideline, and really I didn't see anything wrong with it anyway.

It wasn't Romo's fault, that's for sure.

Understand

And frankly I think the call from the sideline is more..

this play we think will work but there are several other routes being run and Dez is going deep and if he's open..hit him.

There were other options at hand and at that point in the game..

the percentages were NOT heave it deep to Dez..

don't look for anybody else..

don't roll out and buy a few seconds and hit Witten for a first down.

Right.

Romo has never impressed me as the kind of QB who just takes plays and doesn't improvise.

Therefore I don'the buy the demand he go deep.

It was his decision and he failed.

Stop Typing like that.

It doesn't make it easier to read.

Only makes your post less legible.

Also less interesting.

I know what the question was and can understand if someone says Romo, I said using the GB game as why makes no sense at all. All the criteria you used (such as turnovers) didn't happen in that game, so it made no sense saying you "saw it" in that game as to why not to trust him.

Also having an incorrect score in there makes me question how much you really pay attention and instead just complain.

Also, the quote from Parcells is in reference to a team, not an individual. This thread is about a player.

Hardy. I don't think he's going to get into any serious trouble. But he does give me a bad impression- immature. Think it won't take him too long to get a bit full of himself shortly after he begins playing again- if for no other reason than the liklihood HE may be questioning his own relevance after missing so much time and being in such a spotlight/wondering if he's still 'got it'. A sack or 2 and I could this kid being the type to give an away fan the middle finger with cameras running. Hope I'm wrong.

http://espn.go.com/blog/statsinfo/post/_/id/74796/the-two-faces-of-tony-romo

Most INT in 4th Quarter or OT since 2010
Score Tied or Leading by 7 or Fewer
And he's not only making these mistakes as the Cowboys attempt to rally from late deficits. Eight of Romo's fourth-quarter interceptions have come with the Cowboys tied or leading by one score - that's the most in the NFL in that span. Those give opposing teams life when Dallas should have been icing the win.

Romo has played in ~30 games since this article was written, plus you cherry picked that part from the article. The conclusion of the article was:

While it seems like Tony Romo is often throwing away games in the fourth quarter, he actually has fewer fourth-quarter interceptions (23) in the last eight seasons than such “clutch” quarterbacks as Drew Brees (35), Ben Roethlisberger (30) and Brett Favre (25). Dr. Romo does more than enough for the Cowboys to offset the appearances of the Romo-coaster.

Was going to say McClain until I thought about the big picture. Call it cherry picking if you want, didn't mention his back problems, that's a plum. If there is only one person that can sink this ship, it's the Captain, better keep him afloat.
