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

[shabazz]

Dak and Tony had/ have some good qualities but I think there are just some dudes that are destined to never win the Big game unless they have the 85 Bears or 2000 Ravens defense

Welp, Dak has the defense. Let's see what he can do.

Yup….even McMahon and Dilfer didn’t throw an interception in those 2 games…..can our boy match that?

I sincerely hope so

2008 Playoffs--Points Scored Vs. Giants

Cowboys, with Romo in Divisional Round: 17 pts...result: Loss
Patriots, with Brady in Super Bowl: 14 pts..............result: Loss

Cowboys outscore Pats vs. same historic defense, but not enough.

And along every playoff loss in the Dak/Romo era, zebras make their power appearance:
Penalties-Yards
NY 3-28
Dal 11-84

he never won when it mattered.
His 3 straight years of needing a win in final game to make playoffs and flopping all 3 times sealed his reputation. The rest of your stats/numbers/charts mean nothing

Question for you:

-Elway didn't win a Super Bowl in his first 14 years. He means nothing?
-Marino never won a Super Bowl. He means nothing?
-Jim Kelly, Dan Fouts and Warren Moon never won a Super Bowl. They mean nothing?

But why does it matter, Romo hasnt played for 7 years and didnt achieve anything when he did.

Romo achieved a lot! How bout he was an undrafted free agent who went on to play the most glorious position in all of sports as the QB of the Dallas Cowboys.

 

[T-RO]

But we have to be consistent. As with Dak, its all about winning.

Yes we do have to be consistent for Dak and Tony:
IT'S A TEAM GAME!

Fools who can't recognize that a quarterback needs lots of surrounding talent, and almost always a top head coach...should be tarred and feathered.

Elway took 3 teams to a SB with a bad defense and no running game. He was a HOFer before he won a SB. Kelly made it to 4 strait SBs. Romo has 2 playoff wins.

Many Bronco fans called Elway a choker--for years. When John actually did win he really was a shadow of his former self. Just had better coach and supporting cast. Bills fans said Kelly couldn't get it done.

Fan "logic", and it's alive here.

When your defenses are this pathetic, how many playoff appearances are you expecting to get? I'm not talking playoff wins, I'm talking getting to the playoffs?

I'd like a number please. how many playoff appearances do teams like this make? What kind of regular season win-loss record would you expect?

First thing I noticed was Derek Carr then I just voided that whole post. Hell naw lol...

Guys that have a lot of comeback wins are not on teams with good defenses. That’s why Derek Carr is #1 and Brady is in the middle of the pack. Hard to looks at single stats and try to make sense of it. That’s why I like QBR, because it attempts to isolate QB play from everything else. Romo was pretty good on that metric and among HOFers who have a Super Bowl.

I’m not sure where Dak is now but when he was running his QBR was right there. Not as good if only looking at passing, so now that he is running less I’m not sure he is the same player.

Kyle Orton played in one of those three games you saying Romo flopped in (2013 in Philly). Romo was injured and didn't take a single snap.

Romo had his issues, no doubt. But people seem to remember what they want to remember be it true or not. Even like to blame him for games he never played in.

Point is he never won a game when he had to. He was great in non pressure games-may have been best in game (at that time) but for games of importance (playoff implications/playoffs) he folded.

Sad but true...

There's only one Captain comeback real cowboy fans know who that is.

And there's one heartbreaker who frustrated us to know end like the cow that would give a full bucket of milk and then kick it over

So true brother.

He also had Bill Parcells early in his career...and Sean Payton inhouse.

No. Payton was coaching the Saints for Tony's entire career. Bill left after Romo's first year as starter.

It was a Phillips/Garrett coaching show. Cupcake and Clapper.

But my point was he was already a HOFer. Those Bronco teams never would have made the SB without him.

Roger had that reputation as he had some high profile comebacks. But he's not even in the conversation.

Current standings, 4th Q comeback:
Tony Romo, 24
Troy Aikman, 15
Roger Staubach, 13
Dak Prescott, 12 (and counting)

 

[Whyjerry]

2 playoff wins over his career. Many a big game blunder. It’s remarkable how overrated Romo is around here. Guy was a symbol of mediocrity.

 

[Cowboysheelsreds058]

Because 7 years later, his replacement hasn't done anything noteworthy.

Lol, Horsemen will love this posts along with Deacon and Captain!
