What Happened?

[DaBoys4Life]

Oh for crying out loud!!!

I live in the NEast (Delaware), & these are
the same kinda excuses TO apologists made when he played
for the Iggles!

Can we agree that this guy is, to put it mildly, a DISTRACTION
wherever he goes?

The list gets longer & longer, but the common denominator is:
T O!

Please, can we put the KOOL-AID down?

...at the moment it's only Romo and Garrett under the bus, but Witten could soon join them. It could get crowded under there.

TO does drop the ball and he had drops on catch able passes however when the ball isn't even catch able are you really going to consider that a pass attempt?

Uncatchable balls are counted as pass attempts for every other WR, why would it be any different for TO?

Out of 21 WRS in the NFL with over 100 pass attempts, TO has 2nd worst conversion rate behind only Braylon "Brick Hands" Edwards. They are the only 2 WR's on the list with a conversion rate below 50%.

So you're saying that TO gets worse QB play than all the other 19 guys on the list? Romo has the 3rd best QB rating in the NFL, and some of those guys play with the worst QBs in the league (Calvin Johnson, Tony Gonzales) ... so I find that hard to believe.

Name one player that's not going to want the ball when his team is losing. I don't think we need to satisfy his ego nor do we need to throw him the ball 18 times. However when the game is on the line and a ball isn't even thrown his way nor any other WR's that's simply inexcusable. We have 2 of the most gifted WR's on the outside with obv physical advantages over any CB that line up against. Lets see some screens some slants and more crossing routes. Garrett didn't even call l a fade route to RW in the endzone.

And if Garrett doesn't know what to run to get TO the ball, maybe he should consult the eagles Coordinator or the 9ers Coordinator back in the day and ask them.

What's your suggestion for getting the ball to the other players, leaving TO out of it?

What's your suggestion for getting the ball to the other players, leaving TO out of it?

Obviously, I'm not the Cowboyz OC, & I won't even pretend
to answer that question.

However, that question doesn't address the real issue which is,
why can't TO accept that because he's not getting the ball, that
doesn't mean there's a CONSPIRACY out to get him!

In SF, Garcia and Mariucci were the villians.
In Philly, McNabb & Reid.
Now we have Romo, JG, & soon it'll expand to Wade,
Whitten, and probably a defensive leader.
Remember his fight with Hugh Douglas?

The guy has "problems", cause the pattern is ALWAYS the same.
He keeps doing the same things, & expecting different results.
:mule:

The problem TO always brings to the table is,
he continues to re-state the OBVIOUS, because it's beneficial to HIM!

The entire world KNOWS that TO is the best offensive weapon on the team.
That includes opposing team's defenses as well.
They gameplan to limit, if not stop his catches, as a 1st priority.

When he cries about NOT getting the ball, it's like he's insinuating
that his QB's (Romo, McNabb, Garcia, et al), are somehow PURPOSELY
refusing to throw him the ball.

This is no longer a legit complaint, since its gone beyond just our team & our
QB.
TO acts like he's slightly paranoid- like someone's out to "get" him.
How else do you explain this behaviour?

Of course JG wants to get him the ball- who wouldn't?
But that's BESIDE the point.
As a great player, he needs to accept that Witten, Crayton, Barber,
Choice, Bennett, RW, etc. are more likely to get catches, because thats
what other teams are willing to give up!

It's that old adage: "We won't let TO beat us"!
He needs to grow up, & act like a pro.
Enough already.

Man, that was well-stated.

I kept saying this time and time again. Why can't they throw a simple slant to TO, at least 4 times a game, he'll drop 1, 1 will be off target "as usual", he'll catch one and be tackled, and he'll break one for a touch down.

Make that 5 times because one will get picked off...

The wins are down, and some stats are down. That's what happened.
