Why dont other QB's use the Romo spin move?

[bigbob]

It is a good move not hard to learn so why do other quarterbacks not use it at all.
did Tony copyright it or something?
I would like to see dak use it!

You mean spin away at the last minute and roll to the left? Dak did that against the Eagles for the game winning TD he threw to Witten.

Simple: most can't. Romo was special

This. Easier said than done when 300+ pound monsters trying to kill you

Other QBs don't want to have 4 back surgeries.

Some do, just not as often.

 

[Setackin]

Remember JJ Watt getting burned by that

 

[Tabascocat]

A QB who has awareness and pocket presence helps, not everyone has that innate ability.

This. Eli (and Peyton) has lasted forever because he collapses in the pocket as soon as pressure comes. Romo got some memorable highlights but most of his injuries happened when attempting to keep plays alive.

That sort of thing is instinctive. There's no time to think about it.

Not sure if serious. Of course anyone can do a spin move. It's certainly not hard. Great on the dance floor.

The idea that anyone can do it with the perfect timing to make a 300 pound dlineman miss just as they bear down on you from your blindside is naïve at best. Most QB either don't see it coming or are too busy pissing their pants.

You know, that fan105 interview with Jerry Jones that Woodysgirl posted?
Ol' Jerry was talking about(if I didn't know any better) the Tachi effect that takes place during nut crackin times of stress and disorder where transpiring events unfold in slo-mode while it seems you( the person experiencing it) reacts in real time, when he was posed with the #2 Q.B. position and what he had to say about Cooper Rush.
( I don't know if the game of football really qualifies in this as most survivors of gun/ knife/fist fights and the likes talk about it,,although,that one hall of fame dude that played for the raiders(that I can't recall his name right now) was talking on sports radio about a fumble he made in the Superbowl and he said everything went into ' slow motion mode' and he could clearly see Pete Rozelle's signature on the football as it rolled away from him)

Beat me to it.

It's a basketball move. It's not just a spin move, it's a slight fake to get your opponent to commit his weight and momentum in one direction, so you can spin out of it the other direction. Romo was used to doing that in basketball against lighter and more agile defenders so doing it against players weighing a lot more and running in one direction was probably much easier for him.

That spin out of the JJ Watt sack is still awesome to watch

Because they aren't Romo.

 

[Nightman]

Romo had a lot more practice......... he learned it thru trial by fire before TSmith

 

[DeaconBlues]

Instinct. You can't teach it.

Look, I wrote it down once ,try re reading it again and if you should fail to grasp the meaning of my structured words, sentences, paragraphs and parentheses sideline stories,or after thoughts, please feel free to get in contact with me again, and we'll try something different to facilitate comprehension.

Muscle memory for Romo, not for other quarterbacks.

Romo was special. It's like the dream shake from Olajuwon. Romo was just built for that move. He had the instinct and pocket awareness to feel the defender around him and, not to mention, the lower body strength to plant that foot and forcefully spin, sometimes sending defenders sliding off. There's not a lot of QB's with tree trunk quads like him.
