Tony is on the 12th or 13th hole?

If we're going to use golf as an analogy with Romo he's several shots over par after screwing up a few birdie opportunities and turning them into bogies on the front nine. At 34 coming off back surgery with no major championships on his resume and playing for a team that isn't well coached and has a defense that looks worse on paper heading into training camp this summer than it did heading into camp last summer it's going to be very difficult for him to get any shots back and he's running out of holes. Tiger Woods is also 30-something and like Romo is also coming off back surgery but he tore it up on his front nine leaving himself several shots under par and in position to set a course record.

Although Tiger is still a very good player his back nine so far hasn't been nearly as good as his front nine. He can no longer win the big tournaments he hasn't won a major in 6 years. Football isn't like golf it's a team sport that relies on a number of players and coaches working together to form a cohesive unit. Romo had some great opportunities on his front nine to not only record a few birdies but an eagle but a faulty putter and an errant driver has left him several shots back with only a few holes left.

Depends on how you look at Romo's career at least in golf terms. Statistically he's been far better than par but he hasn't gotten much out of his rounds due to several poor shots and a few missed putts in some big tournaments. He has some real good holes that keep him on the leader board but he always ends up butchering some of the closing holes knocking himself out of contention. His elimination game record is a dismal 1-6 and he's 4 games under 500 the last 4 years with no playoff appearances. Romo has given a lot of shots back over the last 4 years.

Obviously his career as an NFL QB has been much better than par or he wouldn't be one of the highest paid players in the league. Golf and football don't compare because golf is an individual sport and football is a team sport. At this stage in Romo's career he doesn't have the clubs in his bag anymore (enough talent on the team) to win a major and Garrett is no Butch Harmon.

so instead of paying him a big contract then should of gotten rid of him and moved on to different coach and qb.I justknow I would of like to of seen them win a champion ship

Don't worry, we all know the drill. If we win, it's because Tony single handedly willed the team to win. If we lose, Tony is blameless. Got it.

Show us a post, any post, where after a win, the reason was that "Tony single handedly willed the team to win". Any post. Please.

Romo is hard to figure out he can look like Tiger Woods one week and a hacker the next. In week #2 of the 2011 season with a broken rib and a punctured lung he led the Cowboys on a great come from behind victory on the road vs SF. Two weeks later he suffered a mega meltdown vs Detroit that led to a franchise record 24 point collapse.

He's being sarcastic but vs SF in week #2 of the 2011 season Romo got most of the credit for that win and rightly so.

This is typical ESPN fueled BS because if you look at the game Romo had 3 td's and no int's, Johnson had 329 yrds receiving, Stafford had 488 yrds passing, Detroit had 623 yrds offense and ran 78 plays to our 56. Yea, "Epic Meltdown". Jeez.

READ MY POST I was referring to the week 4 matchup in "2011" vs Detroit when the Cowboys blew a 24 point lead. That was an epic meltdown.

I think he was talking about many years ago when Romo was playing with broken ribs in an early season non-division game when they had the terrible third quarter.
Hugely important in the grand scheme of things, I'm sure you will agree.

let's see, thread on TD passes thrown on the road in consecutive games. Yet somehow a bad quarter or two played at home several years ago become relevant.
It's preposterous.

He probably shouldn't have played that game if he needed 2 pain killing shots the week before and one to begin this game. That was definitely a bad game for Romo regardless.

They focus on the bad plays, never on the good plays. And there are many, many, MANY more good plays on Romo's resume and the bad ones usually come as a result of trying to come back in the game. But hey, if ESPN hates Romo, there will be Cowboy fans who hate Romo.

He was cleared to come back and finish the SF game so no reason he shouldn't have been playing 2 weeks later vs Detroit. He played great in the first half vs Detroit so spare me the injury excuse for his second half meltdown.

Right I was talking about the SF game from 2011 which wouldn't exactly be considered "many years ago."

Bad quarter for sure...once the pain killers wore off. Either way, they had no business chucking the ball around the yard with that lead in the 3rd quarter. he did have 3 TD passes as well, but yes, not a great 15-20 minutes for sure..

What baffles me is that there aren't that many games over the 108 that he has started, yet people go back in the archives and bring them up as if they're a weekly thing. This is absolutely something that can be done for any QB that ever played the game. No exceptions.

Yea, he really sucked at trying to stop Megatron.

He really sucked at throwing back to back pick-sixes one to Barbie Carpenter of all people. Are you going to put that loss entirely on the defense? That game was the best and worst of Romo all rolled up into one game. The Cowboys out gained Detroit by 133 yards the Lions couldn't stop the pass or the run. It was Romo's 3 turnovers that killed us in that game.

This is again blaming a player for a team outcome, only this time doing it by wrapping the whole thing up in a bad metaphor, to-boot. Blech.
