This has got to Stop... Media downplaying Romo's play from the pocket

[iceberg]

I'm not upset at all, it's actually quite funny

and you're right

oh i've meant some of the other members of the wah-club in the thread - you don't usually "wah" a lot.

A friend of mine works for the Detroit AP and has STATS Pass which is the heavy duty STATS, Inc site that has all of the info that STATS, Inc keeps track of. I'm pretty sure only media members can get access to that site.

Here's the thing, before the Saints game Romo's QB in the pocket was 102. I don't know what it is now since I have talked to my friend since then and have him look it up for me, but I'm willing to bet that it's probably in the low 90's at the very least.

Romo is a lot like Roethlisberger in that he's tremendous out of the pocket, but still very good in the pocket. Teams would rather keep both QB's in the pocket because they are deadly if they get outside. But they are still really good QB's in the pocket.

its not really rocket science. He has terrell owens....
how many corners can cover TO for an extra 4-5 seconds...hes going to get open given enough time. If the cowboys had one of those indy colts Olines then romo would probly be a full on pocket passer because i guarantee you owens will get open if the qb is not forced to get rid of the ball...

Most of the posters on this board see every game and a lot watch it a second time. These guys on ESPN probably cannot watch every game every week, they see the Cowboys play less than us.

So I really put less stock in their opion than I do the majority of the non trolls on this board.

These guys are jack of all trades on every team, we are subject matter experts on our Cowboys.

20.14 Seneca Wallace (7 in 141 attempts)
15.00 Kerry Collins (6 in 90 attempts)

As you can see, Romo is 16th out of 48, which means he is in the top third for NOT having passes batted at the line of scrimmage.

This has got to Stop... Media downplaying Romo's play from the pocket

The only way it stops is when Romo stops it EACH AND EVERY WEEK!

 

[ringmaster]

i'm sorry - is this better?

<memo to all of espn analysts>
From this point forward, Romo and the Cowboys are unbeatable. It's come to our attention that several unbiased fans out there have called us on our blind hatred and have been good enough to let us know that any talk of beating romo is premature and will result in massive amounts of stupidity spilled onto the web in a manner that would make even the valdeez proud. So please when talking about the Cowboys simply let the audience know we feel they are unbeatable and we should simply award them the Lombardi trophy every year to avoid the stupidity spills.

some people who have microphones don't care for the cowboys. get over it.
some people who have microphones love the cowboys and still can be unbiased. get used to it.
some people who have microphones are homers deluxe. send irvin a xmas card and some slightly used papers.

the whole world isn't going to revolve around your views and certainly isn't going to report according to them.

So you're saying I'm God now which I'm not typical.

 

[ringmaster]

Now, this is your best post in this thread! Really, it is...



:laugh2:

Why thank you I'm so speechless.

BTW, we all know who you really wanted at QB, how is doing.

Who did I want? Answer wrong, and you are a fool...

Also, if you make insinuations like that towards me, prove it...or shut up!

 

[ringmaster]

Slow news day...people need something to have a little fun. This thread is great.

Thank you atleast not all is lost around here like I said in another thread the same stuff gets posted around here daily and some of the ones who blasted me about the Romo deal are some of the same ones who are always knee deep in most of those same dull threads.

They blasted me but yet kept posting in this thread anyway when all they had to do was move on.

Merry Christmas, and a Happy 2007.

no, i'm saying so far what you type only makes sense 2/3 of the time and the other 1/3 is a *** sentence, kinda like this one.

i'm saying you wah every time someone says something not positive about the cowboys and that's not a very realistic thing to expect.

100% positive about *any* topic just doens't happen.

I don't have to make anything you know your own convictions my friend.

Well thanks Professor, I needed that one.

That's what I thought...you can't prove nothing except that you are a fool, plain and simple....

Grow up...

Grow up...

So it wasn't you who had that Drew sig with T.O. then if it wasn't my bad then

I tell you what from now on if you don't like any of my threads don't bother posting anything in any threads I start.

If that's wasn't you with the Bledsoe sig with T.O., then my apologies.

But don't ever call me a fool.

 

[WoodysGirl]

Guys...

 

[ringmaster]

Um, you do realize that that will be our strategy against Garcia, right? Neither QB has prototypical height for the position, so you try to keep him in the pocket and make him throw over the behemoths. It's not a matter of "anti-Romo prejudice"

Alrighty then
