Tony Romo has chosen a weaker OL *Update: Not true Post #16*

[Wood]

there is big misconception that needs to be cleared-up because some posters seem to be on auto-pilot when discussing it. Jerry Jones gave Tony Romo the option of putting more resources toward WR/TE/OL. He choose WR and TE. It was agreed upon and implemented. He felt he had the feet to make up for the weaker O-line but would have more talent at WR and TE (which he does).

Tom Brady on other hand disagrees. Its clear to anyone who has watched that team that they don't give a hoot who is catching the ball. Brady clearly has chosen a better OL over WRs. Its a philosophical difference between two QBs.

Personally, I like to see Romo change his thought process and ask for more resources toward OL. Maybe Dallas doesn't need two 1,000 yard receivers. They won't have HOF TE forever. Stabilizing OL becomes even more important at Romo gets older and will undoubtedly loose some of that escapability. I would like to see shift in thinking from Romo that gets communicated to Jerry and let it start now before FA & Draft.

Do you have proof of any of this?

You have gone off the deep end.

You are literally making stuff up now based on some unrelated comments from Jerry regarding allocation of resources.

If you post a link with quotes from Romo backing this up, I'll believe you.

Otherwise, you are full of it.

Making stuff up as if it is fact and posting it should be a banable offense.

Exactly

 

[conner01]

i doubt they discussed free agents and draft picks with romo

 

[zack]

Exactly

Romo shouldn't sign an extension with the Cowboys unless they committ to improving the offensive line. Wanna bet his agent brings this up in his negotiations?

He very well might not want to sign the extension. While I bet he ultimately will, I also wouldn't be shocked if he purposely holds out for a number he knows he won't get in an attempt to get traded. Guess we'll find out soon.

Thank you for that, I needed a little levity to start the day.


Tony, what do think about the defense? DL or S?

Tony you want a giant bonus up front and a long 8-9 year deal?

Romo has made guys like Patrick Crayton, Laurent Robinson, Dewayne Harris, etc etc all look great.

It's obvious he doesn't need incredibly gifted skill position players to do well.

With that said, I would love to see how he'd do behind an OL like San Fran, with a running game to lean on when he's struggling.

There isn't a player in the league asked to do more than Tony Romo is and I split that blame 50/50 with the GM and his HC/OC/Playcaller.

haha, if that were the case there would be like 12 posters left!!!! if the media can do it, why not some guy on a message board, right???

ok, now, back on point - where is the proof? don't post this BS then disappear!

:laugh2: You have a point.

 

[egn22]

hahaha this thread is awesome.

 

[JBS]

seems more like the OP went into the shallow end




Head first

Another drive-by gone bad. But I did find it funny - thanks for that.

Since plenty of others have called you out on the fact that your MAIN premise (that of Romo deciding who we sign) is garbage, I'll simply point out that your secondary argument is also full of it.

"Brady clearly has chosen a better OL over WRs"

So Brady re-structuring in order to allow the Pats to keep Welker fit perfectly with your idea, right?

:rake:

It's possible b/c the truth of the Romo OL/WRstuff reported this week was... (CONT)

Romo was saying he'd rather have FA WR/TE added then draft one, because of learning curve.OL & RB he can coach up draft picks on field(cont)

JJ relayed story to media, but it was reported differently that made us think he was saying Romo preferred "targets" over "protection"

Ed Werder ‏@Edwerderespn
The point Jerry is making about Romo's mobility is that you can't have it all with salary cap and Romo prefers concession on OL than WR-TE


The media has really dropped the ball on this...

Romo would rather have a FA WR/TE over drafting one because of the big learning curve, whereas he can coach up a draft pick OL or RB (pass pro) on the field.

 

[ThrowuptheXDez88]

Is this a serious thread??? HAHA

Romo also prefers broken ribs over a broken clavicle.
