The Tony Romo Thread

[LandryFan]

In a real world, you don't get 7 seconds to throw the ball, so the line gave him ample time to get rid of the ball, but he can't read defenses so there's that...

 

[tyke1doe]

My point is simple. We need a hell of lot more out of a 110m franchise QB.

Well, that wasn't what you said initially. But your opinion on that matter is noted.

 

[Floatyworm]

I think you are venting after a ugly loss.

Protect Romo and he is a very good QB, perfectly able to lead this team to the promised land.

He isn't good enough to do it on his own.

Tell me where this delusionable.....

Another big game, another game that Romo doesn't show up for... no surprise. Yup....Agreed

All too familiar. This loss really has cemented it for me. The Tony Romo era just needs to come to an end.

1. He can't withstand the punishment of a season.

2. Just doesn't have the arm strength to push the ball down field.

3. CBs just don't fear him knowing they can't be beat deep.

4. No longer runs from the pocket for 1st downs.

5. Doesn't see the field....pre-determines his throws...locks on to receivers.

Should I continue?????? I think people get the point......It's time to move on

In a real world, you don't get 7 seconds to throw the ball, so the line gave him ample time to get rid of the ball, but he can't read defenses so there's that...

So last week in the clutch and on the road, the line gives him 7 seconds and he finds Dez not once but twice, especially the game-winning TD catch.
And the next week, he gets the same time, but he can't read defenses?
Really?

Or could it be that the receivers REALLY weren't doing that well?

I said all game T. Williams wasn't getting separation. Dez was being covered like glue and Witten is very slow so he's not getting as much separation.

I think Romo has shown he can read defenses. But I don't think he's getting much help from his receivers. Also, I think he may be suffering from his back. If he wasn't ready but came back to play the Jaguars because they knew they needed him, I think it's a good bet he's not fully healthy. But a hurt Romo is better than a healthy Weeden.

Tony Romo is EXACTLY what's wrong with this team. Get him off the team, get a great QB in here, and see what happens. Dude is good as long as it's September & October when the heat is on low. As soon as you turn up the heater, the pressure of late November & December, he just backs down from the challenge. He falls down way before a guy sacks him, that's a punk move there.

Sorry, but the blame falls squarely on our lame coach. He was extremely lucky to have Romo and Romo is the only reason a coach as bad as Garrett has not had 3 win or worse seasons.

Terrance Williams hung Tony Romo out to dry on his interception
Tony Romo did not play well on Thanksgiving in the Dallas Cowboys' 33-10 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. But one of his interceptions was mostly the fault of his receiver, Terrance Williams, who has been ghost like Swayze the past month or so. Williams has been on the injury list with a bum finger of late, but his heart looked damaged on the interception that was credited to Romo with the Cowboys down 30-10.

Under pressure, Romo rolled out and tried to hit Williams on a sideline route. But Williams decided he didn't want to compete — at all — with cornerback Cary Williams and just let him have it.

Was it a great pass? No. But it was close enough for Terrance Williams to put a hand up. Instead, he just watched the pick happen like he was thinking about his mashed potatoes getting cold at home.

That's grounds for an immediate benching, and when you consider that Williams has had more than two catches in a game only once since Week 4, it might be time for head coach Jason Garrett to play others more.

On the game winning drive Romo had an insane amount of time to throw the ball against the Giants and that simply isn't normal. Also, it took him most of that time to find someone. He wasn't afforded the same ridiculous amount of time today but he did still have plenty of time to throw and had a horrible game.

Romo is turning into a box of chocolates. You never know what you are going to get. But one thing I can assure we will never get with him as the QB is a super bowl. It takes consistency at the QB level in big games to adance these days and he will nevet give is that. Time to move on.

 

[bodi]

have your seen Witten so mad - he was hot

 

[JakeCamp12]

Romo has lost his fastball due to his back. He is also trying to protect himself, which is why he isn't running when he is pressured. We will now be stuck with a physically limited pocket QB that will resemble Drew Bledsoe. Though Bledsoe still had his arm at the end of his career. Romo's passes were mostly ducks all day. He can't get the ball downfield anymore and every defense knows it. If we don't physically run the other team over with our running game, we will not win many more games.

 

[Blackspider214]

3rd best QB in the league this year ratings wise after 12 games, with an 8-3 record... yep totally need to replace our QB, not our secondary.

How many years are we going to continue to hear about his stats? Same song and dance. When the season is on the line, he and this offense crawl into a shell.

And he was terrible today. No zip at all on his throws. So many ducks. Floating passes all day and no accuracy. He's not right at all. All these injuries are catching up.

Anyone who does not think we need to draft a QB is insane. Problem is, when is the last time we got that right? Aikman? They kind of lucked into Romo. Parcells and Sean like what they saw but just stashed him on the practice squad. He was about to be cut before Quincy was arrested.

The future is not on this roster.

JJ: "Hey Tony, you remember that blonde you used to date? Can I get her number?"
Tony: " Which one?"

 

[big dog cowboy]

he can't read defenses so there's that...

That's rich.

 

[BAZ]

An offense run by Romo is never completely smooth. This is why it takes so long to get us going. I just want to see another good QB behind this line and in this scheme. I'm just not going to support this guy anymore, he's a scrub.

You are less than a scrub. Stop pretending to know about things. You don't.

 

[Zman5]

So is Romo the reason our WRs are draped by the DBs and can't get seperation? Is Rogers the reason Nelson is 10 yards away from nearest defender? Or is Manning the reason, Thomas or Sanders is wide open all the time?

It's JG's crappy offense. Even Irvin pointed this out recently.

 

[65fastback2plus2]

He made a quick decisive throw to dez for a first late in 3rd Q. after a blitz but he rarely does this. So the routes r there but he prefers to wait and look at other reads.

I am just baffled at how he won't get rid of the ball sooner. He can do it but chooses not to.

Someone whose opinion I trust stated that they think romo holds ball because he doesn't trust his teammates or game plan. So he holds as long as he can but will let it rip once he is out of time.

Which means that on most passing plays he will hold as long as the line lets him. So no matter how much you try to improve line. Tony will still throw under pressure.

i agree with this mostly.

tony cant close his eyes and air it up and have a WR come down with it like eli. shoot, our WR's will stand there and watch someone pick the ball out of the air and not even try and knock it down.

i think it comes down to he cant trust his WR's. its why he goes to witten often and easily.

 

[Jack Burton]

The coaches coached bad. The team played bad. Jerry probably even spilled his Johnny Walker Blue up in his owner's box. It just wasn't a good day for the Cowboys from top to bottom. I don't blame this mess of a game on Romo at all.

 

[Zman5]

I've mentioned several time that most of our big pass plays past few years happen when play breaks down and Romo and the WR are improvising . You rarely see a big play by design like you see with GB or Denver where you see their WRs running wide open.

Our passing game needs a big time over-haul.

Blaming receivers is weak and a cop out. You don't need great receivers when you have a great offensive system. Which is what this team is lacking other than a defense, which is obvious. Receivers are icing, the qb and scheme are the cake.

No, Romo was trying to make a play when we needed it. He was being pressured and let the ball go. It was out of reach of twill, the camera angle made it look closer to twill than I believe it was. If it would've been on target it would've been completed easily. Twill had no chance at that ball as it was thrown and just let it go. Unfortunate, but I don't really put much blame on anyone; as the game was lost already.

Well, I guess we'll have to see the video that gives a perspective of the entire field. My point is Romo was given an insane amount of time in the Giants game, and he completes passes. He was given an insane amount of time in the Eagles game, but he doesn't find a receiver open.

Seeing how he has done it before, I don't think it's a matter of him not being able to find open receivers. I think it's more a matter of his receivers weren't getting separation.

Romo is turning into a box of chocolates. You never know what you are going to get. But one thing I can assure we will never get with him as the QB is a super bowl. It takes consistency at the QB level in big games to adance these days and he will nevet give is that. Time to move on.

Well, I believe time is running out. I think his window of opportunity is this year and maybe next year. I just don't think with his age he's going to be able to hold up.
