We're not worthy (Romo scrambling vid)

[jubal]

Tony,Tony,he's our man,if he can't do it no one can.

 

[Bill Wooten]

What amazes me is how many of those plays went for 1st downs (or more). So many QBs scramble out of the pocket just to throw it away. Those that slam him when it goes bad really need to look at all the times he made something happen when nothing was there.

 

[skinsscalper]

It's just a handful of the same moves he keeps making; I keep thinking the league will catch up to him but for the most part they don't.
He's a master of using his blockers (as well as the obvious agility and awareness).

Romo once talked about his elusiveness in an interview 4 or 5 years ago and attributes a lot it to martial arts and learning to use his opponents momentum against him. It was an interesting article. I wish I would have saved it.

 

[Maxmadden]

Reminds me of Fran Tarkenton.

^^^ agreed. im watching this again and OMG we all have felt this but putting this stuff together like this just makes it very poetic. Romo is one of the most underated QBs in NFL history. Those that dog this guy are ignorant and quite frankly football dumb. I have friends who are fans of texans, steelers, eagles, lions and they all know this guy can straight up ball.

Romo has eyes behind his head.

 

[BIGDen]

Simply awesome. Thanks for posting that video.

Romo is an all-time great IMO. Every stat backs that up. He only lacks team accomplishments and hopefully he'll have that before he retires. There are only handful of QBs in the history of the game that could make those plays as consistently as he does. Elusive, accurate, clutch (most GWDs since '06 and highest 4th quarter rating), and tough as nails. I pray that Romo stays healthy for at least 3 more years and helps us get #6. Nobody deserves it more. He has played at a consistently high level (never had a rating below 90) through injury, received WAY more criticism than is justified, and been a class act on top of it all. It would be such a shame if his career ends without a ring.

Great job but where is the Rams one? That was his best ever.

 

[LeonDixson]

A couple of thoughts:

Several people have pointed out that the Rams escape is missing and it's a shame. That was one of his best, IMHO.

It was satisfying to see how many of those came against our division opponents.

It really galls me when I hear announcers the last couple of years saying he "pulled a Russell Wilson". He's been doing that long before Wilson ever entered the league. They should compare Wilson to Romo!

 

[jobberone]

Only guy I've seen that could out scramble Tarkenton. And that's saying something.

 

[BIGDen]

This one is my favorite. The play is included in the OP, but this overhead view really does it justice.

Exactly. Absolute brilliance.

 

[65fastback2plus2]

His 2 most epic scrambles are missing:
1) Rams game where ball was hiked over his head 20 yds.
2) JJ Wut!!!

Go back to the editing room....

dont forget where mccoy with the eagles said he was better than JJ Watt and wouldnt get beat by Tony...and then got beat lol

 

[65fastback2plus2]

Tony is the ULTIMATE street ball player. No one would ever accuse him of being the most athletic qb ever, but he is just so quick thinking and quick moving when all hell and carnage is breaking loose around him. The way he is able to find the open guy when a jailbreak is occurring all around him is just mind boggling. As some else said above...It will be a real shame if this guy does not get a SB ring. If and when he does I think we see Tony shed some real man tears after all the crapstorms he has been through.

probably because the sport he played most growing up was basketball...youve gotta bounce and find lanes in bball quickly

 

[foofighters]

I have never really ever understood all the Romo hate. To all the other teams fans out there, it's not like he's beaten their team in the Super Bowl. And to our fans...he's done more with less for many years (and please....please...don't use the 13 Pro Bowler argument). People seem to forget that he was undrafted. He's the reason why we've been competitive when we had no right to be in some seasons. Is there better? Yep but there's a lot of worse out there too...

 

[LittleBoyBlue]

Three things:


1. Short, quick steps. Amazing!
2. His escapability shows us what Barry Sanders would look like if he was a QB.
3. Totally, totally loved the Garrett head movement effect for the song. "I can dig it"!

Nice!

 

[WillieBeamen]

Romos best plays imo:

1. Spin move vs Watt

2. @ Philly in 2012 (at the 2:06 mark in op)

3. @ Was in 2013 Td pass to Dez when he had a free defender sprinting at him and he did his spin move and found Dez in the end zone.

 

[Tusan_Homichi]

This one is my favorite. The play is included in the OP, but this overhead view really does it justice.

This is just insanity.

 

[8FOR!3]

Definitely gonna miss Romo when he has to hang em up, I just hope he gets that Super Bowl ring so he gets the recognition he deserves.

Pretty dang exciting video if you ask me.

I don't think Romo is a great scrambler. I think he has great awareness that allows him to step out of trouble while keeping his eyes downfield. (I consider a scrambler to be more like Roger Staubach was. He was a running threat as well as a passing threat, while Romo rarely scrambles for yardage.)

Looking at this video, I miss Romo's willingness to hang in there the way he used to. With his back problems, he sometimes goes to the ground now when in the past he would duck and dodge and then find an open man. We still see those amazing plays on occasion, but not the way we used to ... of course, we also see him taking risks with the ball less than we used to so it's a trade-off.

did you see him do that spin move against Watt this past season (not in the vid above)? for someone who is disabled he sure made the best defense player look average.
