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

[Blackrain]

Your mythology, a house of cards, is falling apart. I see why you are upset.

Not falling apart at all if you would remove your nose from romo's jockstrap you would see that the year before we were also in the super bowl Morton threw the ball 26 times had three interceptions and we lost the game .

 

[Blackrain]

You can waste your time and continue this crusade. You can go on for a hundred more pages.

But trust me in the end Roger Staubach will still have all the respect all the accolades all the super bowl rings.

Tony Romo will still have what he's earned a good job in the broadcasting booth.

 

[Blackrain]

Roger completed just 3 passes to his wide receivers in the '71-2 NFC Championship game. Just 4 in that Super Bowl.

Cowboys just rode their great defense. When your defense allows just 6 points a game, as it did in those playoffs, quarterbacking sure gets easy.

When you're running game is working and your controlling the clock along with your quarterback not turning the ball over it makes it a lot easier to play defense.
Everything works hand in hand on a properly coached team

That's what I said earlier. Romo could have won a SB with those great Cowboy teams of the 90's if he would have sacrificed his stats and played like Aikman did. Aikman was all for the team. The only time I saw Romo do that was in 2014 when he let Murray rush for all those yards. Landy and Jimmy never would have allowed Romo to do what he did. I watched Roger play. I never felt we were out of a game when he was playing. Always will remember that 1979 season ender against Washington when he brought us back in the last 4 minutes to win the game and the division title. On the other hand I remember Romo playing awful to mediocre in 2 of the play-in games to try to get us in the playoffs. Roger is considered one of the greatest qbs of the 1970's. Romo isn't even mentioned in the greatest QBs of his era.

21 pages in pursuit of some glory for Tony Romo my goodness why don't you start writing letters to the Hall of Fame committee see if you can get your boy a gold jacket then you'd really have done something. Lolol

Spot on brother we were never out of a game with Roger he would tuck the ball away and run himself he would do whatever necessary to win the game.

Tony Has even talked about it from the booth when a quarterback would get down by the goal line he would say it's time to opt out of the run and throw a touchdown pass.

Roger's day defenses dictated how you could play the game they had much more leeway in what they could do to receivers and the quarterback this is why the passing statistics were not through the roof from that era.
Put Roger Staubach in today's game and he would dominate like no other player.
Conversely if Tony had to try and play quarterback with what defenses were allowed to do back then I'm a feared he would not have lasted as long as he did in this era.

Your last sentence really says it all and I believe the Hall of Fame committee will have the last word on where Tony Romo ranks in NFL history.

Roger Staubach has been considered an NFL legend for decades now.

 

[Blackrain]

Forgive me all. I'm struggling to get back to Tony's battle with cancer. Pledge to try to tell the story this weekend.

How about getting back to Tony's battle with untimely interceptions

 

[Blackrain]

After that can you get back to Tony's battle with coming up small in the few playoff games that he did play in.

 

[Blackrain]

Don't forget the chapter on being the king of meaningless regular season statistics and no playoff success.

Please elaborate and detail about his spectacular ability to let the clock run down to the last second so the defense could tee off on him and don't forget to add in how he could be easily baited into throwing the ball by pulling another man up into the box.

 

[Blackrain]

Above all don't forget to go into detail on how you totally destroy your team's hopes and dreams by running after back surgery in a meaningless preseason game.

Chapter could be called risk taker heartbreaker don't leave out any of the good parts

 

[OmerV]

Comebacks can be a very misleading stat. I believe the definition is simply winning a game that the team is behind in going into the 4th quarter. If the game is close with 25% of the game remaining, a "combeback" isn't really that unlikely or a stat that carries significant meaning.

Where guys like Staubach stood out was coming from behind later in the 4th quarter, when there wasn't ample time left to run a normal offense without regard for the clock - when it was truly crunch time. That is more a measure of how a guy performs under pressure.

 

[CowboyFrog]

Romo's battle with cancer is going to have to wait while crush more stupidity.

How about we look at Roger's first successful Super Bowl run.

Did Roger dazzle? Did he carry the Cowboys to victory? Pshaw. It was 100% the Dallas defense.

Cowboys points allowed in 71-72 Super Bowl run:
Vikings, just 12 points
49ers, only 3 points
Dolphins, only 3 points in Super Bowl

Was Roger special?
10-14, 99 yards vs Vikings
9-18, 103 yards vs. 49ers
12-19, 119 yards vs. Dolphins

Danny White, Quincy Carter or Cooper Rush could have led the Cowboys to victories in these games! Roger was the beneficiary of a great defense and a great coach.

Anyone who wont admit Roger and Troy had WAY and i cant stress this enough WAY better teams than any of the other QB's this franchise has had is kidding themselves...of course they are both great QB's but the teams around them were far and away the best teams this franchise has ever seen.

And a big part of the reason that they had better teams was because the players no matter what their talent level believed unwaveringly in their leaders at quarterback

Staubach and aikman where players that picked up the rest of the team when they were down that led by example they were not the players that ended the game with heartbreaking plays that could not be overcome.

Players would fight to the absolute last second for Roger Staubach
Same could not be said for the other quarterbacks after aikman

 

[Blackrain]

NFL channel coming out with a new segment of America's game called NFL purgatory.

It's narrated by the snake bit cowboys.

Jason can I really ice my own kicker Garrett.

Dez but it was only my pinky that was out Bryant.

And Tony I thought Rob Jackson was going to blitz Romo

Brief this saga tells us how this brave group kept their team at an eight and eight record for consecutive years just missing the playoffs but not doing poorly enough to draft well a true art form all while quarterback Tony Romo compiled tremendous statistics truly an accomplishment on his part

They were both great leaders, but I'm not sure either #88 needed carrying.. again thats not a shot at either QB its just a fact they had complete teams from the offense to the defense to the SP you really can not say that about other teams we fielded. Thats like saying if Randy White was on another team he wouldn't have played as hard..i find this hard to believe.

And a big part why Romo or any of these Cowboys have these careers because of Roger and what he did on that field.

They had great teams but the league had other great teams. Cowboys were not beating teams by 30 points to get that success. Also was much more physical.
