Tony Romo and his arm

[CowboyStar88]

This guy just doesn't have the power in his arm for these WRs. People keep calling Dez out, but this guy just doesn't have it and that's why there's been hardly any balls thrown down field.

 

[KLJ]

it's maddening how he either over throws bryant or under throws him every time..

That brutal underthrow when Dez had Shields torched was a defining moment.

I say give Washington a 2nd rounder for Kirk Cousins and cut your losses.

 

[Sarge]

Noodle arm

 

[BulletBob]

I've been reluctant to admit this, but it was clear in this game.

It's not an arm-strength issue. It's trying to loft the ball so Dez can make a play. When quarterbacks throw it too much on a rope, they overthrow receivers. Tony is trying to put air under the ball. I can't fault him for that. We shouldn't be throwing the ball anyway.

His arm is clearly not what it was, but arm strength isn't to blame for the picks. One should have been caught and the other was a poor decision.

 

[Fmart322]

Just play Orton and it'll fix that problem.

 

[Wheeltax]

He's definitely lost something.

 

[unionjack8]

he missed three times today to dez for td's, 3 times, you can try to defend that all you want but he missed three td's to dez. thats fact

The ints are a whole different story. I'm just talking about the under throws and over throws.

Huh? One was a clear underthrow to an open Austin. The other was a miscommunication (which Aikman even said wasn't Beasley's fault).

And he is not getting any younger....but this always happens, after a while of watching this, Romo is what he is, a good NFL QB...unless things change dramatically this he and the organization are not going to get close to a SB.

 

[Broges74]

Big Romo supporter.. And I say Trade Romo. Our cap situation being the only stipulation. We might get a 1st from someone. This version of the Cowboys time has passed.

True. And other coaches know this so they crowd the middle zone so romo is forced to either thorw long os throw short.

He is not accurate throwing long,if he throws short they often cant get the first down - if he tires to throw to the middle zone there are too many bodies.

Tony is alex smith but with more shake and bake to elude sacks. But he's paid like a big time QB.

Really, the whole organization is such a mess, it's hard to really look at anything and say, "that's a problem". The whole thing is a dumpster fire.

But, yes, something's up with his arm. He never had anything but an average arm, but now it's not even that.

 

[Animosity]

Romo is the worst QB in the division

 

[juck]

He just cannot handle the bright lights. Long time coming for him to be traded.

why the hell would you loft the ball on a play when Dez has his man beat? Its always better to overthrow on a fly pattern
