Tony Romo.... cocky and arrogant?

[dogunwo]

Good to see our english teachers in america are doing "they're" jobs.

sheesh. get over it. You knew what he meant.

 

[StevenOtero]

Just walk a mile in their shoes. This season has been rough for a Bucs fan.

 

[dogunwo]

He's the smiling assassin.

i like that nickname

 

[Pats Fan]

When you start winning is when people really start in on you. That much I have learned.

For years, Brady (our guy) has been called Marsha, gay, a whinner, a system QB, etc. on the Colts web site. There is always some negative comment about him. It just never ends. The whinner one always gets to me -- Manning and the Colts are in a constant state of whine. Oh FYI, on the Colts site Romo has been called homo. Good thing you don't play them all the time and have to listen to it.

Why do they do this? Well in spite of Manning being a great QB when he is comfortable with the situation (in particular things like the Pro Bowl) he doesn't do so well in unknown territory (like pressure). I think he was in that territory when he was in your neck of the woods. And in the playoffs, I think he will be OK with NE now, but say someone new, or it is cold, or whatever -- the guy just is not himself. So in spite of a great regular season record, he just has not been at his best when it counts. NO Super Bowl. I'm really not sure if he will ever get one. The pressure of the SB I think would make him really, really nervous. So, the answer is to criticize the guy winning the bowl. Doesn't make a lot of sense, but then who cares if you have the bowl???

As far as Romo I have posted before on this site about him. He shows a lot of promise and as a result will get negative things said about him. Actually, he does smile quite a bit, but I think it is because he feels like a kid in a candy shop -- getting to start. But, and I don't need to tell you this, it is still too soon to put him in the HOF. Time will be the clear indicator.

So, get ready for the negative comments, they will be a coming.

It is clear to me......... You FEAR Romo's Cowboys.....

 

[Pats Fan]

YoMick, we don't even play you??? And I am a realist, we are not going to the Bowl this year without any receivers.

Fear??? Are you sure you are not a Colt fan???

Yup. When a team dominates, people want them to fail. Fans of the Cowboys' 90's dynasty know that all too well. The Patriots have had it easy compared to Aikman, Irvin, etc.

Oh, and the problem with Peyton Manning is that his offensive scheme doesn't matchup well against the pressure 3-4's. He doesn't have the running game or defense.

Marino had similar problems.

You know you believe that the Pats can make it back... so do I. A few weeks ago they were applauding how NE got their "stuff" together... you couldnt have given up so soon. You will still win division and STILL beat Indy no matter where you play them

I want the Cowboys vs. Pats Superbowl.
I want the following settled once and for all.

• Bill Parcells wins without old assistants
• Cowboys take back lead in SB trophy total
• Cowboys take out Pats in SB

I want to kickstart our NEW Dynasty

 

[Big Country]

Hey, it's all because the rest of the NFL fans are seeing that the Cowboys have yet another special guy taking snaps under center, and it's gut wrenching to them being that we've owned the league in year's past and it looks like we are heading back in the right direction to reclaim the throne.

When the Cowboys are on the rise, we are one of the most hated teams in the league, unless you are a Cowboys fan! It's great isn't it?

WORD UP BRO!!!

WORD!

 

[cowboyed]

He's the smiling assassin.

Chuckles, The Team Killer
The Grinning Reaper
The Giddy Gargoyle

When he grins or laughs he does have that devilish look, kind of creeps me out. But as long as he doesn't have the horns I am fine with it.

 

[GlitzCowboy]

A little cocky in a QB is not a bad thing.

Montana ... Favre ... Marino ... should I go on?

Jeff Garcia would agree.

 

[Rack]

Don't Hate, Congradulate!

Another English major here.

sheesh. get over it. You knew what he meant.

It annoyed me and I replied to it. Why don't YOU get over it?

 

[InmanRoshi]

Everyone is starting to hate the Cowboys again.

All is right with the universe.

 

[LaTunaNostra]

The way Tony constantly turns all congratulations and complements in his pcs to praise of the team is what comes across most compellingly. He is charmingly and genuinely humble - not a hint of false humility. But a lot of intelligence behind his responses.

Romo is SO non-arrogant that the compound word 'self-effacing' is apropos, and if it's his smile that makes some folks think 'cocky', they need a few sessions with Dr Phil.

Really. It's laughable to attribute such words to Romo, and unfortunate that real 'success' is so rare that it has begun to equal 'arrogance' in some folks' minds.

My greatest asset is my humility...

 

[Da Hammer]

You know we are back when everyone starts hating on all our players, FEELS GOOD!!!!!! I will say this about Romo i do think he might be a little bit cocky but he is not arrogant. and you know what you need to be a big cocky to succeed in this league as a QB.

 

[adamknite]

it's just dumb to me that some of these same people were probably the same ones whinning because of the NFL getting rid of some of those lame TD celebrations saying it's the No Fun League, then when a guy who is undrafted and has spent the last 3 years holding a clip board comes up and is legitimately having fun he gets accused of being too arrogant and disrespectful? I love it when other teams start hating on us, means we're kicking them in the teeth again, but the saying Romo is "gloating" because he pumps his fist after a good play, that is just crazy.

 

[bluestar4ever]

The next Aikman?

"That stuff's great," Romo said, "You guys bringing up his name; he's in such another stratosphere. That makes me smile."

Thinking again, Romo couldn't help from smiling at what he said there, knowing - with a smile, of course - "I smile a lot. If I was walking down the street right now, I'd smile."

Okay, that sounds really cocky and arrogant to me. Don't all the qb's in the league smile when their team scores? I thought that would just be human nature.

He isn't arrogant, but he does smile a lot more than most.

That's why they call him the smiling assassin.

 

[bluestar4ever]

After carrying a clipboard all this time, I think he would have more to smile about than others. Esp. when every good play and score means he will keep his starter status.
