Tony, I love you man

[Cebrin]

And you love, and are ok with two decades of the same exact stuff!!!!!! Your part of this generation where everyone gets a trophy for participating. The moral victory guy,,,, laughable.

Insult. But it's okay. I'm a big boy and can take it and share my opinions right back.

Then you never saw Staubach play....... Romo could not carry his strap. Sorry.

I mean to even compare Romo to Staubach is pointless. The game is completely different and so are the defenses. The athleticism in this league is insane in comparison to that time. Even Staubach loyally supports Romo so yea, take his word for it.

But comparing Aikman to Romo is also kinda pointless. Aikman was a pocket passer with incredible accuracy and was a great leader. . That being said he did have the leading rusher in NFL history and a phenomenal Oline let alone a very solid defense to keep him in games. Oh how wonderful were the days before a salary cap lol. Romo I dont feel is as vocal or strong of a leader (Rivers was pretty nice to watch), but then again nobody in the league fights as hard as him in or out of the pocket. You can just see how much he cares even though it may seem like he pouts sometimes lol.

Go Romo! Cant wait for the defense to get stable, I really didnt like the firing of Ryan but Marinelli could be solid for us if he stays past Kiffin.

He'll certainly live past Kiffin.

Aikman was overrated. It's my opinion and I am not the only one who holds it. The most touchdowns he ever threw in a season was 23! It's the only time he even escaped the teens. Seriously?!

He didn't have to throw more than that because Emmitt would also score in the teens to twenties. If Aikman had to throw it as many times as Romo I don't doubt that he could have. That is why this is a team game. The 90's teams contributed as a whole for numerous years.

The 90's Cowboys were the greatest team to play this game, I don't really see another team ever dominating a decade like that again. You ate Wheaties for breakfast if you played the Cowboys on Sunday in the 90's.

Just my opinion. No one can say definitively because he didn't throw that much. He had 165 careed TD's and 141 picks. Just throwing that out there. You've a valid defense nevertheless and I LOVED that team. What a bunch of awesome guys. I cried like a girl watching Emmit cry in his HOF speech. It was pretty sad. Lol

Your right, there is no sure way to know. But I don't think Alex Smith takes that team to 3 super bowls and wins them.

Why not? He's good at not turning the ball over, throws a few smart TD's and the rest of the time handing off to a back. He's not a WOW QB but, he's certainly solid enough to fill a spot without being a negative. I think he's a bit underrated because the measure for success now is Manning, Brees etc. You don't have to be those guys to win SB's. They only have one each. lol. You just have to play smart and with your team.

While we did have a great team, so did the niners who were coming off of an era themselves. I don't think Alex goes into candlestick in 92 and pulls out a win.

 

[iceberg]

well i honestly think the reason romo get the bulk of the blame is we count on him WAY too much.

aikman, irvin and smith. we had one hell of an OL at the time and that let a timing offense work wonders.

it's no secret we let the OL become the k-mart of the NFL.

put romo on the early 90s team, do you honestly think he chokes? no one can guarantee wins/losses but *as a team* we were a much *better* team.

2006 tony romo started (finally) for the cowboys.

do we have a top 10 RB for the cowboys that has been on the roster to help tony? felix, marion, who else?

wr's? crayton? williams? TO? austin?

and an OL that i think we can all agree doesn't come close to the glory years.

so tony tries. maybe too much. but he doesn't have an irvin or smith around him. he doesn't have a stepnoski, allen, williams or tuinie on the OL.

and he damn sure doesn't have the D we had at the time.

so yea, blame romo. he's the poster child for the cowboys problems but NOT the reason why we're not who we used to be.

many say tony sucks until he wins the SB.

smith does well and is a great bus driver but not a great qb. he's a piece you can with with when someone putting the puzzle together has a clue. but i'll take romo all day long over smith in todays qb's.

anyone saying a smith is a great qb please show me before he went to KC and things changed. until then, captain obvious, your fries are ready. people always flock to what works RIGHT NOW and forget RIGHT NOW we can work too. sustainability is what wins. looking at a fad and mad you're not that fad, kinda pointless. if/when KC wins it all, great. til then, they still got a long long way to go.

Man, Joe Montana was something huh? 92 though? They were one of the worst run defenses around in that era. Pass defense was great though. Fair enough though.

SMH....

you do that.

Agreed 100%. I think it's funny that everyone thinks you have to be Manning, Rodgers, Brees to win the big game. It certainly doesn't hurt to have those kinds of general style players but, each of them has one ring a piece. Brady got three and hasn't had another one since his defense fell apart. It is what it is. We're the Yankees of football under the spotlight and just like so many hate the Yankees for being talked about no matter if they're playing good or bad, everyone hates hearing about the Cowboys for the same reason. We're the most discussed franchise around. Spotlight is bigger for Tony and he has big shoes to fill with a Franchise holding so many Super Bowl wins. The scrutiny he receives is largely due to the spotlight and some just a poor understanding of the game. Tony is easily a top 10 QB in this league. There is no excuse but poor ownership for them not getting this team into playoff contention.

 

[Cebrin]

We've arguably one of the worst defenses in the league right now. Ask Manning how that feels and YES he's a superior QB. It took him 10 years to get over the hump of playing with a poor defense. They finally put together one that could get a 3 and out at the right time.

I DON'T ALWAYS THROW FOR 500

I DON'T ALWAYS THROW FOR 500

i'm gonna go out on a limb and say you've never thrown for 50.

but when someone else does...

 

[Cebrin]

The only thing he throws is the medias

i'm gonna go out on a limb and say you've never thrown for 50.

I won't respond to him. I don't want to hurt his feelings again.

Guess who has higher INT%, Romo the gunslinger who throws lot of passes or Smith, the bus driver, who dink dunks and throws very few passes and TDs?

This notion of Smith not turning the football over is nothing more than a BS.

Sometimes a QB's early career can bite him in the behind. His decision making the past three years has been solid. Currently 31 games at 13 INT's. That's protecting the football. I'd take Romo over Smith all day. Alex is still a solid QB that can protect the ball and get ya a W with the right talent around him.
