2009 wasn't very good either, the D had a stretch of elite play but it was really just the Romo and Austin show on offense. The O-Lines age was really showing until it really fell apart against the Vikings. I didn't like how we handled FA or the draft going into the 2010 season but everyone was hyped about getting Dez.
I went to a Cowboys Chargers game in San Diego (still the best road trip of any game ever when they were there) and Bledsoe was the starter and I don’t know why but I took a picture of him warming up and a fan next to me noticed said he was college friends with Sean Payton and Payton told him “That kid kills our starters in practice. He’s going to win the job.”
He also was shackled with a bad head coach his entire professional career.
What are you talking about? Romo is a folk legend with Cowboys fans.
Only Cowboys fans could hate their own QB primarily because they are not the other player. There are many real reasons to be disappointed with the player than that.
Where do you put Morton or Meredith?
I would go ahead and give you the stats and QB ranking...which DO include your beloved intercepts...and prove he was a VERY good QB.
Never said he was a jag. He was a good regular season QB. Never elevated the team that much in the playoffs including those play-in games. He was the stats king...I'll give him that. Of course in a passing league all stats are better. He had a lot of talent and was good enough to win a SB with. That's why he's so frustrating. It was like he was cursed. Maybe with better coaching. He and Dak are a lot alike in that way. Hope Dak can do what Tony couldn't. I have my doubts.
sounds just like dak...
For sure thats why i laugh at the mental gymnastics that are used to elevate one over the other.. we could even take it farther as plenty of QB's are lighting up the stats sheet but in the end cant really get past Mahomes/Brady in the playoffs over the last decade..
Great take. Shocking to see a post unencumbered by biases either way. So tiring.
He was brought in and developed by a Hall of Fame head coach Bill Parcells. No way can he be considered a bad head coach. Lol He could have thrown Romo to the wolves early on and ruined him or he could’ve cut him. Parcells brought him along slowly, helping him develop into a very good QB. The rest of the coaches he had were trash, but not Parcells.
He was a cowboy gambler as that was the only route always left open to him...
I have made the comparison in the past but was informed on no uncertain terms that Dak was so much better than Romo it wasn't even close. All I could do was shrug my shoulders and move on.
I’m just pointing out that he didn’t have a terrible head coach his entire career as you claimed. Even though the coaching wasn’t good after Parcells left Romo still produced. He won a couple of playoff games and received an MVP vote in 2014. It’s not like he went down the drain under the other coaches. He put up a ton of yards and won a lot of games, but untimely turnovers were always a problem for him under every head coach he had. He was a gunslinger who liked taking a lot of chances.
