Tony Romo Broke His Own Team Record Today

[mldardy]

I think this is the best year has had in the NFL and yes that includes the 30+ TD's he had in 07. He still had what 18-19 INT's that year and some fumbles. You can tell that he is taking care of the football this year. He is not forcing things and just taking the sack or throwing the ball away when he gets pressured. He's making good decisions and spreading the ball around to the open receiver. It's just too bad today he didn't get help from most of teammates.

Yes, Tony has been elite this year.

He has been elite since he was named starter.

Tony and RW finally clicked today like never before so yeah there's some hope...

Each December seems to unfold the same way:

The defense becomes porous and starts surrendering big plays. The running game evaporates. The special teams, especially the coverage units, deteriorate.

This creates a situation in which Tony Romo, by himself, is forced to carry the team. Consequently, he starts pressing because he knows the offense must score on each possession. Turnovers usually ensue.

Yes but he's been eliter this year

I am pleased with how Romo is playing right now. My worry is going to be him trying to do too much if he feels he can not depend on anyone. I hope that doesnt happen where he feels he needs to start forcing throws in order to make something happen.

I think you are undervaluing how great Troy was. Hes a HOFer, a Super Bowl mvp, the best qb of the 90's.

No, I think Young and Favre were better QBs in the 90s than Aikman. You can probably add Elway to that list. I'll put Troy in at #4 amongst QBs of the 90s.

 

[RealCowboyfan]

No, Tony is better than Troy - I would even say that he is far better than Aikman was.

Romo is better than Aikman at the following:

quicker release
goes through read progressions quicker
pocket presence
scrambling
throwing on the run
deep pass accuracy
scoring drives with the game on the line
Red zone passing

Troy was better at:

timing routes
intermediate passing accuracy
stonger arm


Romo will own all the Cowboys passing records before it is all said and done. Whether he wins championship depends on whether JJ can bring in a solid football man to run the operation like he did when Jimmy Johnson was here. He almost did the same thing with Parcells and managed to bring in enough talent. All that was needed was a bit of time for Romo to mature and a true 3-4 coordinator to come in and pick up where Parcells/Zimmer had left off.

Good Point. Jason Garrett isn't the one to expand Tony Romo. He's making Tony Romo out of the Quarterback he was and Tony Romo isn't Jason Garrett nor is he Wade Wilson. He did more in two season than they did in their whole careers combined and both (Wade Wilson and Jason Garrett) didn't have success before Cowboys at their positions in the front office now as offensive cordinator/ and Quarterback coach. Cowboys need to upgrade at head coach but keep Wade Phillips on as a defensive cordinator.

With Witten, Austin and hopefully Roy coming around, I do think Tony has enough weapons to depend on.

Our O will be potent these last few weeks imo.

Only cold weather game is vs Skins. I would not be shocked if we score 30 pts in 3 out of 4 games.

I'm dead serious on this.

Thats hilarious, 3 rings, a Super Bowl mvp and you rank him below players who could only dream of accomplishing so much.

Whatever broham.

I can't say Roy coming around yet. You have to see game in and game out. Do yall know already he's inconsistent?

That's why I said hopefully. He's scored 4 tds the last four games.

It's progress.

Never compared him to myself and all of those player won super bowls and when favre is elected, all will be in the hof. I wasn't picking jim harbaugh over him or something.

The Cowboys of the 1990s could have won games with several different QBs and did win many games with the backup. The four superlative players on those teams were Irvin, Emmitt, Larry Allen (only on the third championship team) and Erik Williams (pre-knee injury). I suppose you could add Deion for the 3rd championship but I don't consider him a Cowboy in the same way that I consider the others to be.

I want to see more.

Your social graces are somewhat lacking.

Troy was rarely asked to win games for us back in the '90s. Tony is asked to win games for us the vast majority of weeks he's been the starter. Troy didn't need to be anything but a really accurate and talented bus driver. That doesn't mean he didn't have the talent or the ability to be an elite passer when needed, but he didn't need to be every single damn week like Tony does.

That's a lot of pressure on one guy.

Again, you are marginalizing what Troy did.

You are acting like he is Tebow or something.

Its a joke.

Yeah I would definitely like to see someone on this team other than Romo take some responsibility for the game today. Romo is already getting from NBC, I heard some people on radio already blaming the loss on him. This guy needs help here and he definitely didn't get it from his teammates today.
