Tony Romo gives Dallas a chance to win

[nathanlt]

Do you remember the long painful years of Quincy Carter, Anthony Wright, Ryan Leaf, Clint Stoerner, Chad Hutchinson, Vinny Testaverde, Drew Henson, and Drew Bledsoe?

It took that many tries to find a quarterback that gives us a chance to win. Let's not go backward, let's stick with Romo and let him get better!!!


Having a chance to win against ANYBODY, ANYWHERE, ANYTIME is all you can ask for.

Until we win a SB, every QB and coach will be doubted in Dallas. The expectation here is SB or bust.

Aikman was doubted and almost driven out of town to be replaced by Steve Walsh (who?).

Just the way it is in Dallas. If Brett Favre was in Dallas, he may never had a long career due to his propensity to make mistakes.

I had this post about Romo's turnovers and how despite them, yes, he does give Dallas a GREAT chance to win. and I accidentally unplugged my computer.

Anyway, it was something like Romo has only lost ?5 games? when he's had 1-2 turnovers in a game. So yeah, seems ok if he turns it over, as long as its in that 1-2 range oy...i botched that big time.

Tony is not a problem.

You know what? He sucked Sunday nite. In my view he directly cost us the game.

I'm still on board.

And no one should doubt that Tony Romo will be directly responsible for winning and losing future games.

It goes with the territory.

I'm not mad at Romo, he did the best he could against a defense that was keyed on stopping him and the passing game.

It just wasn't his night.

The second interception was a bad pass that was off target, but it was a complete fluke that it was kicked and picked off.

Romo is a competitor, he compete to win on every pass.

It's the offensive coordinator's job to recognize that the defense is only concerned about stopping the pass and adjust accordingly.

Jason Garrett refuses to take the ball out of Romo's hands and become a run first offense.

The Giants dared us to pound them into submission and we didn't even try to. They knew we would put the game on Romo's arm and played accordingly.

You can always tell the new ppl to Jerryland, they bring up the Campo years as if we should give thanks... Jerryland is charging waaaay too much to be compared the 5-11 days.

Tony is not our biggest problem!!!!!!!!!:bang2:

Not as a whole, but he was our biggest problem in arizona loss last year, the steelers game last year, the ravens game last year, the eagles game last year, and the giants game this year.

My problem with Tony is that he is our/or one of our biggest problems far too much to be as talented and capable as he is.

That right there is what has cowboys fans :bang2:

Romo is NOT a problem....sure, Sunday night he was a big problem, but FCOL, who wants to go back to the days of any of the aformentioned QB's?

We have a guy who has more wins and a higher QB rating than any other QB in the history of the game after his first 40 starts.

This has become a McDonalds society.....give it to me now.....RIGHT NOW!

All that I am expecting is getting into the playoffs at this point.....I'm not one to say that this team isn't missing T.O.'s presence ON the field. I do believe that he preoccupied the defense somewhat and made it easier for a slower WR to get open.....this isn't a one man team.....but one man can make it easier to win/lose than others....

Come on JG....if we are struggling passing the ball.....run it.....and vice-versa.

There's more to it than one person.

The Arizona game? It wasnt tony that was our biggest problem. That game was pass protection all the way. Wasnt that the game he was running for his life the whole game. The game where he was injured? The game where we had a punt blocked and our punter was injured?

The Ravens game? Our biggest problem in that game was giving up almost 200 yards on the ground in about 3 minutes.

The eagles game? Our whole team cost us that game. We were completely dominated.

Romo has had games where he cost us. But look at the games where he has kept us in it. You cant expect perfection.

Dont forget our defense is the biggest problem we have. No sacks, no pressure, no turnover, no ability to cover anyone. I think we are ranked 30th in defense. That is the real problem. And TNewman has been looking awful every chance we get. Yet every fan on this board wants to get rid of romo.
I tried to stay away from this place for a few days to see if people would come to their senses. I guess not.

Just like the Owens issue last year it seems like people are choosing sides. It should be a fun year.

How many of these guys did we draft?

1 - a reach for Quincy Carter when Jerry fell in love with his workouts.

That pretty much explains it all. We haven't drafted a quality QB since Aikman over 20 years ago. We've only used a first day pick on a QB once since Aikman.

Kind of hard to find a good QB when you just rely on undrafted FA's or journeymen scrubs.

hey Bach, what's your opinion on Romo?

 

[Hostile]

There is no such thing as a perfect football player. I am this close to saying Peyton Manning is the best QB I have ever seen. He isn't perfect. He's never going to be perfect. I don't care how smart he is or how much talent he has and he has both in buckets.

At this time Jerry Rice remains the best football player I have ever seen. I simply have not ever seen anybody better. Most players are not even close. He wasn't perfect either.

Every player on this football team has positives they bring to the table and negatives too. The question is always can you live with that player.

With Romo it is not even a hard question for me. Yes, I can because when he is on and good he looks like one of the best QBs in the entire NFL. For the life of me I don't see what is wrong with that.

Yeah, he has bad games. Every QB does. Why over react every time a player has a bad game? I honestly don't see the wisdom of that and frankly it isn't even interesting to read the constant whining in every thread and every new thread started by someone who thinks that they have an original thought that will open everyone's eyes.

I'm not really a fan of Cory Procter at all. Never will be. But I don't feel the need to create useless threads and posts to announce this. Until he is cut he is on this team. I have to find ways to deal with that even if I don't like it. In the off season, I find that a very good time to diss the guys I don't like.

I had a good off season. Most of the guys I dislike are gone.

I like this team. I think this team is way better than the drama displayed the last 2 weeks. I find it a shame that some posters can't enjoy the team they love. I can't fathom that at all.

hey Bach, what's your opinion on Romo?

He's an erratic gunslinger who has a knack for making at least a couple of boneheaded plays a game. He will make quite a few plays and have quite a few big regular season games. But overall, he's unreliable.

He's the type that can win games but will also singlehandedly lose several games. He's definitely not a "big game QB".

And in order to actually win a SB, you have to win at least 3-4 games in a row in do or die situations and I don't see him being able to string together that many error free games in a row, especially in that kind of atmosphere. And in the big games, when it starts going bad for him I've noticed he seems to mentally go in the tank.

With all the scrubs we've had since Aikman, he's definitely the best we've had since then, but I think we'll have to have a much better team, especially defense for us to win any kind of championship with him.

What's ironic is it's been said taking a QB high in the draft and missing on him can set your franchise back several years. But look where we've been by not drafting a QB high since Aikman in '89, other than the reach for QC.

The philosophy that it's better to rely on journeymen QB's, castoffs or undrafted FA's rather than draft one high is mindboggling to say the least.

thanks for replying. I kinda feel the same way but i'm holding out hope cause he still has time to improve. It's just a matter of if he will or not. so far the answer is no but it's still early. I absolutely agree regarding your point about needing a better team. If we continue to run the ball a lot and well I think the offense will be ok. now defensively I don't think it will be good enough till we get some better players and coaches.

The thing about Romo is he constantly seems to have these off the wall negative "fluke" plays. But since they happen with regularity, I can no longer call them flukes, it' s more like his erraticness causes them.

I've been holding out hope too that he'll develop and mature as a QB. But the more he doesn't change the more my hope is becoming "false hope" though.

I totally agree. but you like myself still have some hope since we're both on here right now.

Funny, that was the philosophy of the coach from 2003-2006.

I think part of that was because of Jerry's win now policy.

 

[Chocolate Lab]

I guess Jerry made him pass over Matt Ryan and Joe Flacco, too.

That Jerry is pretty powerful.
