Tony Romo is the next Joe Montana

[dougonthebench]

give him a couple more seasons before we "annoint" him.

 

[Chuck 54]

I'm thrilled with him, but ummmmm....no, he's not the next Montana.

 

[CowboyJeff]

thoughts?

Well, first he has to cut down on the red zone interceptions. Second, he needs to win a few Super Bowls.

 

[rcaldw]

He has started 8 games, played in 0 playoff games, played in 0 Super Bowls, won 0 playoff games, won 0 Super Bowls.

Montana - 4 Super Bowl Championships
Bradshaw - 4 Super Bowl Championships
Aikman - 3 Super Bowl Championships
Brady - 3 Super Bowl Championships

Danny White did more than Tony Romo has done so far.

Man, we need to get a grip on reality. There are TONS of QB's who have had a good stretch of games, even a good 2 or 3 SEASONS, who weren't Joe Montana status.

How about Kurt Warner? Was he Joe Montana? Kurt Warner was an MVP and won a Super Bowl, and now everyone sees that he was NEVER "all that".

So lets wait on Romo. When he has won 2 Super Bowls, just speaking for me, I will then begin to have a discussion about his merits vs. Roger's or Troy's or anyone else in the Hall of Fame.

Let's hope he becomes Danny White first. Then we'll aim for bigger things.

Wow, talk about being on the same page.

Tony Romo is......TONY Freakin' ROMO!

 

[burmafrd]

I think he is ALREADY better then Bradshaw ever was. Bradshaw just happened to be in exactly the right place at the right time and went along for the ride.

 

[burmafrd]

The knock on Danny was that he could not come up with the big play at the most crucial moment of the biggest games. That is what separates him from Montana, Roger, etc. Danny White was Don Merideth mark 2.

Over 16 games in 1983, White averaged 248 yards and 1.81 TD per game. Both are Cowboys records.

In 8.5 games, Romo's averaging 287 yards and 1.88 TD per game.

 

[CowboyMike]

Tom Brady is the next Joe Montana.

Tony Romo is the next Roger Staubach.

Seriously.

Think about it.

 

[tyke1doe]

Wow.

I thought these discussions were only allowed after a green QB takes his team through a scoring drive on the last play of the game and then wins a big game like the Super Bowl.

Romo first has to do that before I even entertain the question.

Why are you cherry picking one year? I'm talking about White's whole career. He took us to several championship games and went to several Pro Bowls. He might even own some team passing records. Time to tap on the brakes.

Correction: I'm pretty sure Danny White owns mostly all the team passing records.

Well there you go.

Don't worry. I wouldn't try to say Romo has even begun to accomplish what White did...

But it is interesting (to me, anyway) that some all-time passing records are going to fall this season. Danny White aside, that is a very, very good sign.

 

[CowboyMike]

Danny White's Team Records:

Passing Attempts in a Season: Danny White, 533
Passing Completions in a Season: Danny White, 334
Passing Yards in a Season: Danny White, 3980
Passing TDs in a Season: Danny White, 29

the steady stream of bums, has-beens, and never-wases since aikman - has left cowboys fans used to diminished expectations. and now that we have a QB exhibiting signs of more than just a pulse... some are so shocked by our good fortune that they are giddily ready to proclaim him the "next (insert name of legend of preference here)."

tony needs to win a few more games to be mentioned in the same breath with the greats.

i think most fans are grounded enough that any comparison they are making merely refer to the "style" of late greats.

but i can't deny i appreciate the "quarterback stylings" of antonio ramiro romo. so far - they guy plays "the big room" like he was born to headline there.

He reminds me of Jim Kelly more then anybody at this point.
