Twitter: Tony Romo #71 and Tyron Smith #78 on the NFLN Top 100

[Jstopper]

I root for the Cowboys, not for Romo. I want Romo gone ASAP. The sooner, the better. We should have drafted Manziel and we should have started the rebuild process this year. We've gone 8-8 the past three seasons. What makes any of you think we are going anywhere with an over the hill, 34 year old QB who's coming back from a major injury?

you root for the cowboys but you want romo gone? Hmmm..... smells like a Commander to me

I root for the Cowboys, not for Romo.

It's funny that trolls actually think this is possible.

 

[dstovall5]

I really want to know how many of those TDs by Romo were in garbage time. Cause he threw a couple vs the Bears when the game was way out of reach.

It's not like those other QBs ever threw garbage TDs either, only Tony Romo huh? Romo 'haters' are funny.

 

[dstovall5]

It's funny how much people preach "team" when they are in love with a QB that just can't get it done when he is needed most. A QB that is paid as good as Romo carries his team. Romo on the other hand becomes this weakest link when needed most. Look no further than his last "win and in" game.

1 playoff win in 8 freaking years? Pathetic!

I noticed you changed the wording from your usual, "win and go home" schmuck. I wonder why

Never mind, I know why, it's because Romo balled out the last game that would fit that criteria, so ... You changed it to fit another silly made up criteria, this time it's a "win and in" game. You haters never fail to entertain.

You go to such lengths just to bash your darn QB, hell you do it more then our rival fans, pathetic. To each their own I guess.

I like Wilson a lot.

But, he did turn the ball over at a higher rate than Romo last year and under far, FAR less stressful circumstances.
31/10 > 26/9

Wilson had less stressful circumstances? Seattle's OL was one of the worst in the NFL.

According to PFF, Wilson was pressured (hit, hurried or sacked) a league-leading 43.8 percent of his dropbacks. In the postseason, Wilson’s pressure percentages moved up to 53.7 percent.

 

[perrykemp]

Wrong. Flacco put up amazing stats in that playoff run. He was absolutely fantastic. He isn't a great regular season QB but that dude was clutch as hell in that subprtbowl run.

Joe Flacco 2012 Postseason: 11 TDs vs 0 Interceptions and QB ratings of 125, 116, 106, and 124 (Superbowl).

Possibly the best single post-season run ever by a QB in terms of passing stats.

The Cowboys have one playoff win since 1996, home skillet. Romo hasn't been the quarterback since 1996.

Funny, our ONE playoff win came with the only year Tony has had a defense. Unfortunately, as we all know today, our O-Line was slow and old and it could not hold up against the Minnesota Vikings pressure. We lost Flozell in the second quarter and Tony was sacked 6 times. This is why LT's are paid so well. I remember them trying to stack 2 TE's on Jarod Allen's side and they'd just start moving him all over the line to get extra pressure. Heck, Ray Edwards got 3 sacks. Tough game. I'm amazed we went 11-5 with what Romo was working with Offensively. The previous game we set the record for the most offensive penalties ever called in a game. Aside from the fat, old offensive line, we only had Crayton, Austin, Felix, Witten. Imagine if we had that defense with this offense. That game would have went a lot different.

 

[TrailBlazer]

Romo wasn't reluctant, Bill Callahan was. That's why the Cowboys hired Linehan...but I could live with a few more interceptions if he goes back to averaging 3 to 4 touchdown passes a game.
From 2006-09, Romo's big plays largely outweighed his mistakes.

The bold part I agree with.. The underlined italics I'm not so sure about.

The all 22 film showed romo opted not to throw to dez open 20+ yards downfield many times. Dallas was still using Garrett's playbook last year, Callahan just called the plays. The one game romo was healthy enough to throw deep was against the broncos. Can't blame Bill Callahan for tony being reluctant to throw deep bc his back was bothering him.

Callahan gets a lot of hate on this board, but I think he's done a good job helping to construct a good o line. And he brought the zone blocking scheme, which allowed Murray to be the first cowboy since Julius jones to run for 1,000 yards.

 

[TrailBlazer]

Again what I will say because the QB touches the ball on every offensive play he can do more to lose a game for you than any position.

QBs can also do more things to win a game than any other position

 

[TrailBlazer]

I would say that is a bit of a small a significant a huge an enormous exaggeration.

Well everyone SHOULD know that romo hasn't got as much help as kap and Wilson.

 

[TrailBlazer]

I think it was less Flacco getting hot and more Boldin catching anything within spitting distance. Flacco's location on his passes during that SB run were terrible.

The ravens entire offense got hot, including flacco. His play during there Super Bowl run was excellent. And he never turned the ball over. He came through big when it mattered. But I agree that boldin might've had lot to do with flacco's success.

Another garbage time stat padding performance by Romo vs the Saints

http://scores.espn.go.com/nfl/boxscore?gameId=331110018

I wonder if these people are even Cowboy fans. Do you people even watch the games or just go look up Romos meaningless stats after the games?

one poster to another. There are some posters on this board that refuse to put the stat sheets down. And there are posters who let emotions and bias towards dallas(homers), cloud there judgments. Some will defend romo to no end. It is what it is. Only on a cowboys board would romo be so well thought of as a QB.

He's good. But until he proves it in the playoffs, he'll never be considered one of the best.

 

[TrailBlazer]

Replacing romo with a young stud prospect would be beneficial to Dallas' long term success. Dallas, more than likely, will be around .500 yet again. Riding romo until the wheels fall off is not sound logic and would be delaying the inevitable and prolonging the mediocrity. Romo doesnt have the defense to help him win a championship in dallas, and i doubt it gets fixed before romo is completely done. There is life after romo, and Dallas needs to have a capable qb waiting in the wings. Sooner rather than later.

Dallas seems to be building a good young talented team. Once the defense gets fixed Dallas could be real contenders, especially if Dallas hits on a qb in '15/'16 NFL draft.

Yeah, how many bad QB's have we had since then?

 

[ufcrules1]

It's funny how you and people like you only wanna look at the result and now how the result was achieved. In your twisted logic Trent Dilfer was exactly what the Ravens needed because he "led" them to victory while completely ignoring that fact that they probably could have gone 16-0 with a legit qb and was being held back by qb play. Meanwhile we have a 4-12 team that is being carrier by the qb and somehow you are too blinded by ridiculous hate to see what is blatantly obvious to any football watcher with half a brain.

lol at bringing up Dilfer. Dilfer played on one of the best defenses EVER in the NFL. That defense was as good as the 85 Bears. Any QB could have won a super bowl with that defense. Those days are over. It takes a smart quality QB to win a super bowl these days.

Romo is not carrying the Cowboys, he is one of the many reasons this team is mediocre. Did you not watch the 2012 win and in game vs Washington?

They had that game in the bag until he started choking it away.

 

[ufcrules1]

What last "win and in" game? Against the Skinnies? The OL was the weakest link in that game.

lol... Yeah, blame it on the OL. The whole world saw the choke job pal.

Joe Flacco 2012 Postseason: 11 TDs vs 0 Interceptions and QB ratings of 125, 116, 106, and 124 (Superbowl).

Possibly the best single post-season run ever by a QB in terms of passing stats.

He really did have an outer body experience .

And the prior two seasons he was respectable too.
The two prior to that, he was truly horrible in the playoffs but the team, like all the other years, was playoff caliber.

He's the poster child against The "QB playoff wins".
His team won a playoff game once when he had the worst QB rating in NFL Playoff history.....a .10. Rating. Lol. But hey, "he" got the win.

When you have a team that are good for so long, and you have gotten to the playoffs every year regardless of who the QB is, then the odds of really catching fire one year are much greater. And he did that in 2012...his 5th chance was a charm.

 

[dogunwo]

What I find stupid is when fans want to cherry pick stats. This counting garbage time TDs against Romo is unbelievably idiotic unless you are going to do that for all of the players you compare him to. We went through the same foolishness when people wanted to get Julius Jones "real" ypc average by not including his 77 yd TD run against the Saints, and comparing it against the rest, without using the same criteria for the other backs in the league.

Football is about team always has and always will. Has Romo made poor throws? Yes, please show me a QB who hasn't.
