Unfix Romo

[Gadfly22]

So Romo works on his delivery in the off season, in order to be a better ball-protector and pocket passer.

And what did we hear from training camp? Problems with accuracy. Not just problems with Roy Williams, but general problems in hitting receivers. That story faded as camp progressed, but it was still odd, given that Romo and Williams put in time together before camp in order to get on the same page.

Now we're seeing the accuracy problems continue.

So either Tony has to go back to doing whatever he was doing before he "improved" his delivery or he and his receiving corps have to get in better sync. Right now, it seems like only he and Witten have any kind of chemistry.

Lets just release the guy, everyone here will be happy, and will be screaming championship

just like they are now, that TO is gone

Yes, this is tantrum time. Always is after a loss, and especially after a loss in a close game.

But Romo is clearly struggling. What I think he needs to be reminded (and which is the opposite of the advice that he's getting) is that he's the anti-Aikman. When Troy sat in the pocket and set his feet, good things happened, but when he had to move bad things become MUCH more likely.

For Romo, when he moves in the pocket or rolls out, good things happen. His accuracy seems to increase (though I'd like to see actual stats on that if such things are kept). When he sits in the pocket and sets his feet this season, he seems stiff, and he's having accuracy issues.

And while I'd like him to cut loose more, I think his lack of chemistry with his receivers is holding him back. It certainly isn't there with Roy W or Austin.

He's tentative on the field and is on an island off it. He's getting crushed everyday and doesn't have a coach or a mentor to help him

Romo worked on his golf game longer then his delivery.....Either play golf or football...

People on here say why can't he play golf in the off season and try out for tournaments, I say because if he tried out and almost made the cut. How much time did he practice for that tournament.... I know more than a couple weeks......

They need to move Romo around the pocket on some rollouts.

It seems like he locks in on one reciever instead of spreading the ball around like they did in preseason.

One really bright spot I saw in Romo yesterday was his command in the huddle and at the line. He was constantly making adjustments and getting his protection set, in a way I've never seen him do it...He was looking a lot like...GASP...Peyton Manning in that respect. Denver gave him a big test with all those blitzes and he was definitely reacting in both positive and negative ways...We can only hope it turns into a positive thing. The other side to that coin is I've never seen him throw as inaccurately as he was. He almost got Williams killed out there.
