Where Romo Ranks all-time as Captain Comeback (and complete success story)

[T-RO]

Summary of Romo Receivers

Yes Dez was special in his way, though he never learned to run reliable or proper routes. Yes Cole was a magician for short throws. But throughout his career Romo never had either of these:

-A speed merchant who could take the top off the defense like Tyreek Hill

-An all-around, crafty, reliable long term WR star who could run great routes. No Davante Adams, no Michael Irvin, no Larry Fitzgerald, no Cooper Kupp. Not even an Amari Cooper or Ceedee Lamb.

Romo with Cooper or Lamb as featured WR? 1,500 yards easy.

You think it's too late, you are too old to embrace Romo's greatness. Maybe you disrespected him and you have regrets.
Get on board.

You worry for your heart...and Romo was too scary, too exciting.
Get on board.

You are younger and missed the legend? Catch up and learn.
Get on board.

Nothing like it Cowboys history. More milk and honey to come...

This is comedy gold.

Staubach was drafted in the 10th round, which means he wouldn't have been drafted at all in the 7 round draft era.

Undrafted Hall of famers Drew Pearson and Cliff Harris also say hello.

TY! its laughable a fan thinks he knows those coaches so well, hes inclined to know what they would do..didnt jimmy draft a qb on the supplemental draft and rumor was he was pulling for that guy to win the job,

heck fans were when Aikman had rough rookie season.. The egomaniacal fan base strikes again now they claim to know the inner workings of a coach's mind and what they would or wouldn't do even though bill Parcells and Sean Payton have pretty good resume in the NFL and they saw great things in Tony Romo, had he had a coach like Sean Payton Tom Landry or Jimmy Johnson it's possible he had a couple Super Bowls by now. Also ironic that Tom Brady was taken in the 6th round and nobody saw anything in him except for Bill Belichick another great coach with a great resume but sure let's listen to a jaded fan who only looks at the Super bowls and then pins those to the quarterback position instead of the team and the coaches which if Tony Romo and Prescott had that type of team and the benefit of coaches like that I think they would have done a lot better than they have up to this point which both did great things but just didn't get over that hump and now some fans want to put the blame on them for this lack of Super Bowls.

I think that's the point we get the value of hindsight and see what he could have been. You got a guy like Kurt Warner in the Super bowl he was undrafted and fans think where you're drafted or how you're brought into a team somehow matters it matters of what they see in the player once he starts getting on the field.

What kind of clowns think quarterbacks are measured by their draft order? (or non draft order)

-6th round Tom Brady GOAT says hello
-Joe Theismann had to spend 3 years with Toronto Argonauts to earn cred before playing for Washington
-HOF Warren Moon? undrafted
-HOF Kurt Warner? undrafted
-HOF Bart Starr? 17th round pick (wouldn't have been drafted in modern era)
-Danny White? Just a third round pick

And trying to put words into a Landry's mouth? SHAME on you and GMO415. Shame!

19 pages what’s your objective? You aren’t changing anyone’s mind here!

 

[blueblood70]

Sure thing.

No guys tied up with celebrity women--or high maintenance home situations--can win big. No way.

just destroyed these terrible narratives! north Dallas forty never happen and neither did the white house under whose watch?? didn't many 70s-80s payers known to have drug problems and same with our 90s teams in which had SM and TMZ been around a lot more dirt and negative story's would have been dug up.. them tight ships had some leaks. I'll admit those two coaches are some of the greatest coaches ever but some of these fans in here thinking that they didn't take any nonsense and they cut every player they had issues and act like they wouldn't draft players with troubled passes or take players in late rounds or undrafted and put them in key roles is ridiculous it happened all the time the only guys that got cut or were made scapegoats to make a point for the team we're all like small time players.

 

[blueblood70]

Landry, nor Jimmy would turn their team over to an undrafted QB.....a walk-on QB. It's laughable.

WRONG but i let TRO continue to destroy your narratives. hes doing great. you lost bud.

There's no thinking about it it is too late Romo is retired there is no greatness to come other than from the broadcasting booth he was good and respected for it.

Yep he was a risk taker a highlight maker and a heartbreaker and it could all happen in one game.

You're young just remember the Legends came in the '70s and the '90s for the cowboys 8 and 8 seasons do not make Legends.

Sorry but Romo was not exactly milk and honey he was the cow that gave the good bucket of milk and then kicked it over.

This is like t r o and Blue bloods excellent adventure I'm waiting for them to go back in time and create some historical significance for Romo.

What a hoot 20 pages of nonsense

Staubach was a tenth-round "future" selection in the 1964 NFL Draft by the Cowboys.. The NFL allowed the Cowboys to draft him one year before his college eligibility was over.

As for the "other" undrafted players, they never played QB....DUH.

I'm here to dance on the graves of stupid opinions.

And here for the record is what Jimmy Johnson said about Romo.
"I love Tony. He's a great quarterback." Johnson also emphatically said that he believed Romo would win a championship. A lack of surrounding talent, and injuries, of course prevented that.

 

[T-RO]

Let's review, shall we?

-A 4-time Pro Bowler who Jimmy Johnson said "catches more undeserved abuse" than anyone in the NFL? Tony Romo
-2nd most clutch 4th quarter wins per NFL start in history? Tony Romo
-Best 4th Quarter QB rating of his era (including Manning and Brady)? Tony Romo
-A star QB who had to carry a defense that was 13th, 20th, 31st, 24th, 26th, etc....Tony Romo
-A star QB who had to play his career most under Jason Garrett? Tony Romo

 

[T-RO]

Oh and there's this:

When Romo finished his career he was 4th all time in passer rating, behind only Rodgers, Brady and Wilson.

What kind of clowns think quarterbacks are measured by their draft order? (or non draft order)

The idiots who bash Dak day after day. Many keep referring to his 4th round draft status. Had he been a first round draft, pick you wouldn’t see as many fans roasting him all the time.

 

[DallasEast]

Staubach was drafted in the 10th round, which means he wouldn't have been drafted at all in the 7 round draft era.

lol. Roger Staubach would not have lasted until the second round of the draft.

My friend. Do you know who Staubach was in college?

Allow me to put it this way. Football Writers Association of America named Staubach as the starting quarterback of its 75th Anniversary All-American Team.

Staubach's military commitment is the technicality in your assumption.

You'd probably see more people bashing him, had be been a first round pick. At least being a 4th rounder, he's done better than expected. (for many fans)

I don’t think near as many fans would bash him if he was a first round pick. I’ve seen way too many fans use his 4th round draft position against him. There was a thread recently, showing all the QBs that have reached the Super Bowl the past decade or so and they were all either first or second round picks except for Russell Wilson, who was a third round pick. Fans have been complaining for years that we need to use a first round pick on a QB if we want to find one. When Dak has a bad game fans complain he looks like what is a 4th round pick. It’s another reason he gets compared to Kirk Cousins a lot because they both were 4th round picks. His draft position has given fans a lot of ammo to find things bad about them.
