Try to list Romos strengths

[MONT17]

and weakness, if you think he has any...

Romo is very good at throwing on the run but he is not very good at throwing to the sidelines from the pocket.

Romo has a below average arm but he has a very quick release and accurate ball.

Romo has poor leadership skills but he is coachable and not overly demanding of his players.


Romo is elusive in the pocket but he is frail.

Are we doing a SWOT analysis like I used to do in MBA school?

Romo has poor leadership? Not good at throwing the outs? below average arm strength? get off the crack man.

Maybe you should either find another team to root for or seek professional help.

poor leadership skills?? thats bogus - what kind of facts do you have to prove that?

Strengths
very elusive in the pocket
Lightning quick release
Moxie
Accurate on short and intermediate routes
Can run with his legs for extra yards
Can pull a rabbit out of his hat so to speak when nothing is there on any given play
Seems to run the no huddle very effectively
Strong in the 2minute drill as well
seems to hit many different receivers


Weaknesses
Tries to make the big play too frequently
Has not been accurate on the long ball recently
to go along with that - a lot of it is lack of arm strength (sheer yardage - not zip)
careless with the way he holds the ball while scrambling (fumbles)
Seems to start off games very shaky (takes him time to get in rhytm)
seems to make the same mistakes over and over and needs to learn to reduce them (whether its fumbling or the INTs)

That's a fair analysis.

Romo's weaknesses are his strengths taken to an extreme.

My favorite thing about Romo is the fact that the guy has no quit in him. He might look down or pouty on the sideline at times, but NEVER when he is on the field. Nothing scares this guy - down, distance, time on the clock, personnel, nothing. The guy is always competing.

With that comes some mistakes. Truly I think its unavoidable at some level and is currently being exascerbated by the pass rush pressure. I do hope that protection can improve if Holland can get back in the lineup but I also think its more than just a RG issue. If our O-line can step up it would be a HUGE help.

God I want a win this week and next so bad I can taste it.

Sick to death of all the Romo can't win the big games, Romo can't play under pressure. BULLSHOT!

Anyone objectively reviewing his demonstrated skill set would acknowledge that makes no sense.
He has proven over and over the ability to perform very well under pressure.

It may be his strongest attribute.

He has one of the highest 4th quarter ratings with multiple comebacks on his resume. As good as any QB in the 2 min drill.

Yet all we hear over and over is that he's a choak. Good to very good QB who can't play under pressure.

This is spewed by two groups of media/journalist types. Those simply regurgating what they have read who do no homework and those with an anti-Cowboy agenda.

These is just a few moments in Romo's career that demonstrate an unusual ability to operate under extreme pressure.

1) Seattle playoff game - After fumbling a snap in his own endzone, he has the poise and calm to not only pick it up, but throw it for a completion.
2) Rams 2007 game - snap over his head and calmly tracks it down avoids a defender and runs for a first.
3) Ealier this year - he's sacked for a safety, but has the sense and stones to use the tuck rule to his advantage avoiding the safety.

These are just a few. He has dozens of these in just 2 1/2 years.

His strongest asset is his ability to process info quickly and make the right decision much more often than the wrong one.
He does this better than any other QB.

He's NOT Brad Johnson

Agreed. But I could care less what the mediots think. In my best Adrienne Balboa voice..."I'm with you Romo, no matter what, no matter what!"

Try to find some of your own.

Man, you and your ilk are one the reasons I steer clear of this board at times. I understand, you don't like Romo. Why don't you change your name to IH8Tony or something snappy like that and get it over with. Making numerous threads/posts saying basically the same thing over and over again doesn't make your point any more valid it just makes you look silly.

 

[Givincer]

Honestly, it's almost impossible to list a strength of our hopeless quarterback.

:laugh2:

Frail? I think he is one tough son of a gun. He takes a beating and keeps playing. He was out for three games this year, but sometimes there are injuries you just cannot play with for one reason for another.

l. He has a nice smile.
2. He is popular with the ladies.
3. He has gotten along with T.O. pretty well until he kept missing TO by a country mile.
4. He has a nice smile.

I'm sure there are some others as well.

This I believe is a fairly good assessment and fair as well. Some of the stuff from the OP is just so laughably bad that I almost had given up hope on this topic before seeing this particular post.

<Can run with his legs...>

I thought all of the QBs ran with their legs. You learn every day.

 

[jterrell]

why not:

Plusses:
Above average arm
Above average Accuracy
Plenty of Confidence
Very elusive in the pocket
Good accuracy throwing on the run and he keeps his eyes downfield

Minuses:
Takes a lot of chances
Ball security as he is always looking to make a play
Actual foot speed is very mediocre so is not a threat to run far.


I think this is Jerry Jones' QB. He is a risk-taker, he is ballsy, he is not afraid of attempting any throw at any time.

romo does not have an above average arm

joe flacco has an above average arm. romo can't make the sideline pass across the field. and he can't make the deep pass off his backfoot like ben roethlisberger. romo can makes those passes of course, but he needs to be in good form using his legs.

he's good at short/intermediate passes with high accuracy and getting the ball out quickly. very intelligent, handles pressure well, and can create time with his feet.

that's a west-coast qb.

doesn't sound like a air coyrell offense at all. yet that's what they want. a pocket passer with a cannon for an arm. that's drew bledsoe not romo.

his key deficiency is physical though, it's the gunslinger mentality. knowing when to take a chance and when not to.
