Video: TLC: You Will Never Look At Tony Romo The Same!

[McKDaddy]

Everyone wants to act like Dak lost the green bay 2016 game. Do you not remember Aaron Rodgers carving that sorry defense up all day?????

Daks stats were 63.2% completions, 302 yards, 3 TD's

Romo was not going to play any better than that. Putting that loss on Dak is dumb as hell.

As always, it's not as simple as that. Dak's final numbers look good but he contributed to the early deficit.

Was it all on Dak? No. Team made

Would an experienced QB perhaps made a difference? Probably. It was just another example of a silly organization putting a rookie in the playoffs when they had a veteran available.

 

[CowboysRule]

Have you not noticed how poor Dak's Oline has been, or are you blind?

I have not and I am not. Even with the injuries and rookies, they graded out as average. Before this year they've been regarded as one of the better lines in the league. Nothing like Romo who had to threathen to leave the team if they didn't actually put resources into beefing up the line. Next excuse?

 

[McKDaddy]

But Romo never got the playoff support from the rest of the team. I go back to the 2007 playoff game against the Giants and Patrick Crayton dropped a TD pass that would have put Dallas up 24-14. The Cowboys dominated that game statistically and if Crayton makes that play New York never catches up, and they never upset the Patriots in the Super Bowl.

Just a play here and there and history is forever changed.

Take Eli's second Super Bowl. The Giants got in the playoffs as a 9-7 wild card. Dallas lost to them 37-34 in December, but Miles Austin dropped a TD that would have given Dallas a 41-22 lead with seven minutes to play. Instead the Cowboys punt and New York comes back. Had Austin made that play, the Giants don't even make the playoffs.

I can argue two mistakes by two Cowboys receivers allowed Eli to win two Super Bowls. And forever tainted Romo's legacy.

Bravo sir.

I will stand on that hill that says Romo would have won a superbowl if not made it to a couple if he played for an actual football "organization". To accomplish what he did updraft is astounding on its own.

What bugs me the most is the mouth breathing, click bait media, and fans that buy into the talking heads of him being a choke artist when he was actually one of the premier if not premier quarterback in the 4th quarter and overtime. He just happen to carry crap teams to .500 and his defense bar a year or two was a complete joke. JG should thank him a million times over for keeping his job and dragging those teams to .500

Did he gave his *** mishaps in the post season sure but the majority of the games he actually did his thing.

I wonder if he regrets not signing with Denver , under Shanahan.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

True I will say I think QB take to much blame on loses and too much credit for wins. Football is a team game and as important as QB is, he relies on those around him to go their jobs so he can do his. However how QB are judged by media is based a lot on post season success. No other position is viewed that way

I agree. It’s unfair but at the same time no one complains when they sign a 260 million dollar deal lol…gotta take the good with the bad. It’s the most important position on the field but to truly when it takes a team.

 

[Philmonroe]

Because you are angry and emotional over something common sense. Crying over a grown man. They aren’t putting someone in the Hall of Fame who. Barely made the playoffs and when they did they lost. You can’t be this dense unless it’s your emotions getting the best of you. The same people who will say Romo
Should be in the hall will argue against Eli getting in. Makes no damn sense….

Online people always trying to make something it isn’t lol. Now words by themselves can tell tone? Besides your imagination explain to the class how you can with 100% certainty say I’m emotional over this instead of disagreeing with your trash pov on this issue. Nothing I posted said jack expletive about Romo getting into the HOF smh. That’s why I said you want to be conveniently stupid all of a sudden. I said qb wins isn’t a stat because it’s a team sport not singles and I stand by that. I don’t care who goes by it doesn’t make it a thing. Using that logic it’s a lot of things you be okay with just because that’s the “rule”. I’m sure you wouldn’t so don’t get silly now just to be “right”

True, hell if I was going to catch the majority of the blame I would expect to get paid as well.

It’s not about being right or wrong. I’m telling you how it is. You can get mad about it all you want. I didn’t even state my pov on this issue lol. That’s why I said you are being emotional. I’m telling you how it is not how it should be or how it isn’t. We all know wins aren’t a QB stat…well when it’s convenient anyway. You will bring up his regular season wins but want to ignore his playoff record lol.

There is still a part of me that thinks the 2016 season ends differently had Jerry Jones allowed Garrett to put Romo back in as QB1. He was playing the best ball of his career from 2014 until retirement. Injuries would always have been an issue. But, I think Dallas should have let him roll once he got healthy that season.

If he came out rusty or just didn't have "it", you knew that the rookie was very capable of winning games and could replace him. If he was 2014 Romo with that young version of Zeke, Dallas would have been in a NFC Championship game at minimum IMHO.

Can't turn back the hands of time. But, man I wonder about 2016.

I can’t blame them for riding the hot hand. Things were working and the team was playing well.

Hindsight is 2020 of course…

 

[pete026]

I dont need to. I watched w my own eyes.

One threw for 12 TDs and 1 int in the month of December and led the team to a 4-0 record

The other threw for 6 TDs and 2 int in the month of December and led the team to a 2-2 record

2014 Cowboys December Opponents W-L record totals (29-34)

2023 Cowboys December Opponents W-L record totals (45-23)

I guess Willie needs glasses?

 

[dragon_mikal]

Well this thread went exactly as I expected. Romo was good and was much better than the Dakster.

There…I added my own small amount of gasoline to an already out of control fire.

 

[Cmac]

I pulled for Tony just as I do with Dak.....because they have been behind center.......but c'mon.......the results have been the same.......can't erase history, it is what it is.

 

[Cmac]

Nice piece......but it left out or simply discarded some stuff.....a lot of stuff. And I liked Tony.

 

[CowboysLakerBamaFan]

Romo in the HOF or we riot.

What does "HOF" mean in this context?

I only know that as an acronym for "Hall Of Fame", which is this thing truly generational dominant NFL players get voted to...

But in the context of Romo, knowing that's obviously not remotely applicable, what are you referring too?

Holder Of Failure?
Holder Oiled Fingers?
Hall Of Fair
Hands Of Fat?
Has Odd Face?

Please clarify!!!!

 

[McKDaddy]

Individual play doesn't correlate to results in a 52 man game.
This is simply about how Tony performed.

....that's exactly what I'm talking about...individual play....."gaudy numbers but.....". Ironically, that isn't always the board criteria now.

 

[Blackrain]

Ok. I'll give him some love. Romo finally became good towards the end of his career. Too bad his body was breaking down by that point.

This is true my brother by the time he got the grasp of risk versus reward the toll had been taken on his body and it wasn't coming back.
That said statistically he was comparable to many of the top quarterbacks in the league

He did not throw a terrible quantity of interceptions but here's the kicker for everyone who justifies Tony Romo by the quantity of interceptions he threw.

ALL INTERCEPTIONS ARE NOT CREATED EQUAL SOME ARE NO WORSE THAN A PUNT OTHERS CANNOT BE OVERCOME AND LOSE THE GAME.

Unfortunately Tony had enough memorable interceptions and events that were unable to be overcome that it eclipses much of the good that he did and is all that people remember.

That said Tony Romo was the classic example of the cow that gives a good bucket of milk and then kicks it over.

2023 Cowboys December Opponents W-L record totals (45-23)

I guess Willie needs glasses?

In 2014 Romo led the league in:

CMP% (69.9)
TD% (7.8)
Y/A (8.5)
Rate (113.2)
QBR (79.2)

He also had the highest QBR in the playoffs that year.

He was PB, AP-2, AP-MVP-3, AP-OPoY-5

And he suffered one of the worst, if not worst, overturns of an actual catch in the sport.

These are some of the starting QBs in the league that year:

Brady
Rogers
Brees
Roethlisberger
Both Manning brothers
Luck
Ryan
Stafford
Rivers
Wilson
Flacco

At least six will likely be HOF.

All good info but has nothing to do with my point.

If someone is going to make or challenge a statement, use solid facts, not lazy research or even worse, intentional deception.

You mean when Romo's Olines during 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010 averaged in the top 15 and he had an NFL & franchise record 13 Pro Bowlers on the team with him?
