Tony vs Danny

[DWhite Fan]

Everson Walls got beat like a step-child by the slowest receiver the 49ers had and gave up the game winning TD...Sounds like a choke job to me...https://encrypted-tbn2.***NOT-ALLOWED***/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRprhzjDZqmKZy47DZ6yCxzv9WsVuReqC2rh6g3uGJBHOs08lellQ

Not to mention replacing White with Gary Hogeboom which was a big mistake. The organization was different then. They didn't like excuses for losing.

that was not in 1982, wasn't that in 1984?

 

[DWhite Fan]

To say one person "choked" away a professional football game is insane...IT TAKES A TEAM TO WIN OR LOSE!!!! Sad people can't understand that...

Romo is far superior to White. It's not even close.

 

[CanadianCowboysFan]

White caught a ton of grief for the team losing three straight championship games. He did catch grief for fumbling on that play. He was great in that game up until that point, and played better than Montana overall in the game (Montana threw three picks, and had a fumble).

that was only his second choke job, the big ripping came after the next year when he totally blew it against the Commanders.

People talk more about the catch the fumble. If it were Romo, people would never have remembered the catch, just the fumble.

But, that is how a "realist" looks at things...you know, the real realists.

Yep. That was after the whole Elway thing. That was the beginning of the end. The team was never the same. I could tell the team was slipping late in the 1983 season.

Read Dwhite Fan's post. Romo lost the game against the great Payton Manning and actually out played him...but he threw the Int to lose the game. Nothing is said about Romo's defense that could not stop a grandma pushing a grocery cart and was to become one of the worst defenses in History.

Why did Drew Pearson let himself be tackled by two fingers? Should have broken away from it. Why didn't Drew Pearson have more speed. He had a SB ticket in his hands and couldn't get the job done. If he had, there would have been no fumble because there would not have been another play. Pearson choked...

You and I could probably pull down a 180 pound receiver from behind with 2 fingers gripped to their shoulder pads. You can produce a lot of force and leverage from that position which is why so many players have gotten injured by that type of tackle. TO got yanked down like a rag doll when Roy Williams took him down injuring his ankle in the process. So you're blaming Pearson for not pulling away from that tackle? LOL Pearson wasn't a speed burner plus if you watch the play the defender was on Drew almost immediately after he caught the ball. Checkout the video it shows the play and it also shows White losing a fumble vs Philly in the conference title game a year earlier.

losing the wild card game against the Lambs after blowing the division lead was clearly a decline

We try to forget him. lol

Steve Pulluer is one of several Cowboy QB's we try and forget but oddly enough Landry seemed to like him especially his mobility. When everyone was talking about drafting Aikman Landry said he didn't think QB was the problem and wanted to trade the #1 overall pick for some D-linemen. He eventually changed his tune but he really seemed to think Pulluer had potential. Even Jimmy said he probably would have started Pulluer in 89 had he not requested his release.

If we were winning games and Romo was going 14-25, 150 yards and a 1 TD, people would assume something is wrong with him.

Most are conditioned to Romo piling up stats to the sky.

That's true. Aikman's passing numbers didn't break any records but our offense was pretty potent.

That pass was also aided in big part to both Too Tall Jones and D.D. Lewis getting played by Montana while they had him relatively trapped.

Simply a great individual play that honestly had a lot of moving parts to it.

To this day, people seem to think the game ended on that play. It did not.

White had the team where they needed to be and made a huge throw to Pearson that was so like the Aikman to Harper pass on the same field that it is scary.

At the time, I blamed Danny White for fumbling the snap, which did end the game. To this point, I have heard others examine the Zupruder film to suggest it was not White's fault. But at the time, I threw a huge tantrum and held it against him.

are you trying to make me cry again?

 

[RonSpringsdaman20]

different game today.
hard to call.

 

[Alexander]

Not intentionally. And I would give a good bit to have a great utility player like Ron Springs on this team again.

agreed.

Tony=Danny

Tony=Danny

Will never be viewed that way due to the fact Romo has stacked stats on top of other stats, process-style.

Unless Romo does more than he has to date to finish out his career, I will remember him as I do Danny White. No shame in that.

He frustrated and excited me just like Romo has.

 

[Ratmatt]

Thing is I don't recall Danny covering Dwight Clark on the catch? We had the lead and they allowed SF to march 90 yards down field and put up the TD and I can't recall Danny on any of those plays

I do recall Danny White fumbling the ball away after the Clark touchdown,while Dallas had moved into 49ers territory,only needing a field goal to win.
