Tony Romo Appreciation Thread

[WillieBeamen]

I miss this guy man. The last time we faced a legitimate SB contender on the road in early October, he bailed us out and made plays.

Letting Dak remain the starter is Jerry’s biggest blunder since firing Jimmy

I was a huge Romo guy but in the end he never got us over the hump either. I definitely would have loved to see if 2016 would have been different for him with that stacked team around him.

but romo hurt my feelings.

Romo was a choke artist too.

He gave us a chance. Always gave us a chance man.

“Scheme” “Route Running” “Nobody open” were never used as excuses when he was under center. He overcame all of that for the most part.

Romo was a choke artist too.

He didn’t have anywhere close of team that Dakota has had the last few years. Put Dak on a lot of those Romo teams and they would win 4 or 5 games.

he never won anything. He's like this years team. if the competition is mediocre he was great- it the competition had any talent he folded like this team yesterday.
I would take Danny White over Romo in a second

Cool. Still 100x better than the scrub we have now. There is no way a fair-minded fan can think these two are in the same stratosphere

 

[Boyzmamacita]

I loved Romo, but his legendary status baffles me.

They aren't. Never really thought they were. At least Romo could drive the team down field.The Dak we have now is playing scared and McCarthy is coaching scared, afraid of Dak making a mistake. Can't win games that way.

Both Romo and Dak are in the same category. Overrated, people have short term memory. I'll never forget the 3 seasons that we needed a win and in games against Washington, Eagles, and Giants and we lose all 3. Lol both are a joke

Romo led-teams beat the undefeated Saints in 09 (team that won the SB), the undefeated Colts (team that won the SB, the 49ers with puncture lungs (team that was in the NFCCG) and a slew of other good teams.

Dak cant even beat Mr. Irrelevant or Jimmy G

1. Romo only played in two of those games

2. Compare the roster and coaching staffs to the team we have now

3. One of those teams went on to beat Tom Brady in the Super Bowl that year

 

[BrAinPaiNt]

Hahaha
So many ripped on Romo when he was the starter how he was a choker and every other thing.

Only thing I will say is I wonder how Romo would have done with Big Mike and his offense.

he wouldve died on those seasons where we had revolving doors for an oline until it got better in '14

 

[td4mvp2k]

if tony only had talent around him or coaching for much of his career we'd be talkin multiple SBs

Lol look I give Romo a slight edge over Dak, but anyone thinking he was this elite QB is fooling themselves. Romo did lose to eagles in 2008 in a win and in game too, both qbs are chokers. It is what it is

 

[Cowboy_svt]

he had a lot of talent around him tbf. But coaching was abysmal and they never seemed to get it all together offense-defense wise. Maybe 07/09 was the two best teams hes had in terms of that

Romo won nothing...nothing. I dont care about meaningless wins- he won nothing when it mattered and had a problem of freezing when the game was important. White at least usually got is into the middle of the playoffs and was "the catch" away from the SB.
Romos 3 straight 8-8 last game losses to get into the playoffs was not bad luck-it locked in his legacy.
I would take White over Romo for a pressure game every time

 

[ClappingCarrot]

I did love Romo. You always had a shot when #9 was on the field.

But that era dealt me a ton of pain as well.
