What is Romo's record against Eli?

[haleyrules]

Yea he didn't play well in a lot of those playoff games.

He was great by times...but, for the love of truth...he was not, ever, a playoff guy.

 

[CATCH17]

Manning was far, far better than Romo when it counted. Thats the , sad, legacy that really counts. Its time to look ahead to Prescotts legacy and forget about what Romo couldn't do. He is the disappointing past. There is a bright future to look forward to.

Agree that he was better in the playoffs but when you have a defense that can keep you in games it makes a difference.


The Cowboys defense has always had 2 maybe 3 good players surrounded by garbage.

You make your reputation in the playoffs and he came up short. That's all Eli has and that's enough. Because lord knows he's been mediocre most years.

 

[Melonfeud]

Tony wasn't that good!!

As compared to,,,what?
A Bengal Tiger killing a goat?
A Trident Submarine on patrol in the north Atlantic?
Superman and Wonder Woman getting it on?

The Cowboys defense has been a joke longer than I can remember. Whatever happened to the Doomsday defense?

 

[CATCH17]

I think we had a pretty fine future when Tony first started too but I ended up disappointed. Have to see how this batch turns out. Don't get me started on coaching. I haven't been happy with a coach since Parcells.

Too much on his plate.


2014 we got Linehan (who is better at calling JG's playbook then JG is) and decided to commit to the run and he was a MVP candidate.

We've just always asked waaaayyyy too much of Romo and when he doesn't pull through the perception is he is horrible.





Dang it.. I miss Romo... He deserved so much better.


The only time I really wanted to give up on him was the year we lost to a 1 legged RG3 and Romo threw that rookie pick in the flats

Dunno but I feel like the only cure is for us to figure out how to impose our will with the D Line because schematically we don't do much.

Basically do the same thing we did on offense. Invest in OL and DL and win with Old School football.

It reminds me a little of air Coryell in SD in the early 80's. they always had a great offense and a bad defense. They didn't win nothing much either.

Tony had good teams. 13-3..12-4...11-5...10-6...He was the weak link...couldn't read a defense...took wild idiotic chances...no, there is no excuse for two wildcard wins in 10 yrs. The club is far, far better off now that his stupidity is gone. When the rookie came in...it was obvious how poor a decision maker Romo really was. Difference between night and day. Gone were all the idiotic mistakes at the LOC...Gone were all the pointless running round with the play still in the QB ' hand...big differense from guessing to knowing what the enemy defenses are really trying to do...the future is finally worth looking forward too.

 

[CATCH17]

Maybe if he could've played some 16-14 football games instead of having so much on his shoulder he would've been considered a playoff guy.

He just had to do way too much.


Think of how much better Peyton Manning is then Tony Romo and Manning was horrible in the playoffs up until his team got the job done for him up until his first Superbowl against Chicago.

He did everything he could to lose in the playoff games leading up to the Chicago game.

Not 1 time did Romo get significant help from his teammates.

I've always been up and down with Tony. He's always been a class act and I always liked him but there were times when he would drive me crazy. There were times when I would say an interception is coming and sure enough it did. When I look back at Romo's years I'm mostly going to feel regret. Regret that we couldn't win something with him. I just hope that Dak's years turn out better.

Compared to his contemporaries... Manning comes to mind...Romo had good teams...he came up short...anybody remember that idiotic pass to Bryant in the Green Bay game?? Come on....he was always the weak link. No excuse for his post season blunders and failures...he was dreadful when it really counted.

It's hard to take you serious when you say that. I can't even respond to that.

I do know one thing, the Cowboys should have went to a power running game sooner that we did. We wasted a lot of time. All I kept hearing for years was you can't win like that anymore. I think if we would have done that sooner Tony would have had a better chance at winning.

Prescott came to the Cowboys, as a College kid, with far better fundamentals and basic football judgement. The Cowboys are in far better football hands now. Garrett is the next obstacle.

But i'm sure every fan base has felt this way about their QB besides maybe the Patriots (Brady) and 9ers (Montana).


I feel regret too though and i'm upset about it.



You see Dirk in my signature... I had to hear the same crap about him too even though he was clearly one of the best players in the NBA but never got the credit he deserved.


All of that stuff about Dirk not being clutch and everything are gone. Romo deserves that too and probably would've gotten there with this current group of Cowboys before he retired.

 

[Trouty]

People in here claiming Eli is better than Romo. ...?

Then gloss over his ******* amazing defense in both runs, while ******** on Romo when he had nothing remotely close to that dominating DLine that Elisha had.

Just

Romo was never the best in the league, but he sure as **** was better than Flacco, Dilfer, and Elisha. And he sure as **** would have won if he had player-personnel brass that could assemble a team to surround him.

Put Romo on any of those JAG *** QBs teams, with their elite management and defenses and he'd have a ring or two.

I never felt that way about Roger or Troy. I didn't even feel that way about Danny because we did play in some NFC Championships. I mean Tony was good. He wasn't a scrub and there are some scrub QBs that have had better playoff success.

It's a team sport.


You can have your defense getting scored on at will and guy like Crayton dropping passes and Demarco Murray fumbling away a Touchdown.

Romo will get all of the blame because people forget the Micro stuff and just remember the Propaganda ESPN Romo not clutch garbage.

Tony has been grossly over rated for years. A guesser...that always guessed wrong when it counted! Manning was a drone..,that understood the fundamentals and made the most of his limited abilities AND opportunities. That matters.
