Why so hard for some to like Romo?

[Fernando Fernandez]

I don't understand alot of you guys.

Some of you write "essays" about this and that, nitpicking every little detail, and now, Tony Romo, who just might be our future starting QB, a "rookie" Qb at that, has an outstanding performance and proves many of you wrong, and you don't have the cujones or class to give the guy his props when he does good.

Some of you guys are total noodles!

And for the record, "If" and "when" Henson lights it up, i'll gladly give the man his props and chow down on some crow.

It is sad indeed when some "loyal and knowledgeable" Cowboy fans, dislike a player so much they can't bring themselves to give the man his dues.

What has Romo done to deserve being treated like Quincy by some of you on this board?

Tony really needs to hear it from Cowboys fans that he is wanted here, not that he is just another Garrett or clip board holder. Otherwise he might take his talent elsewhere and you will be sorry!

Yes, I am a Romo fan. I think he has more talent than henson or Bledsoe. Yes, I think Romo should be the starter.

No I am not related to Tony Romo.

I have been a big Romo fan for a couple years. Look at his numbers in the preseason last year. They were very good as well. And last nights performance, it was outstanding, pure and simple. 19 for 25, and he had at least 3 drops from his wideouts. Plus he eluded the rush very well. The only knock would be the 2 fumbles, but that can be cured with practice.

If bledsoe had been in there last night, he would have been sacked at least 3 times. I like bledsoe, don't get me wrong, but Romo really showed us all something last night.

My theory on Romo was that he had the name. I know it sounds stupid, but that was my belief.

he had the name? what do you mean

I think its not so much that some people hate Romo ....

Its just the QC lovers vs the Hutch lovers part 2

The people on this board at the center of this QB debate dont like each other and want to be the ones who are right no matter what.

The Romo haters are pathetic
The Henson haters are pathetic

case closed.

It is not that people dislike Romo. It is just hard to get excited about a undrafted free agent from a small school. Personally I have never really had a problem wth him. But i also never envisioned him being a future starter. But he has played well so all the world to him.

I like Romo, but feel Henson has a much higher ceiling. I would be really happy to have any young QB to grow with our young team. That's how dynasty's are built. I would have no problem with Romo leading our team to greatness. I am tired of us trotting out old discards from other teams. I do however hope that Henson gets the same chance as Romo to QB a whole game. I have a feeling he would do just fine and like I said I believe his ceiling is higher. .

Personally, the fact that he is an undrafted free agent from a small school are two major reasons to get excited.

Can you explain why you and others think that is not something or someone to root for?

I don't get it?

They were saying on the television broadcast that Romo was a soccer player as a teenager, and didn't even play football for the first time until he was a junior in high school. Because of his late start in the game, he didn't get noticed by the big name schools (Burlington Wisconsin is also probably not known as a hotbed for Div I football prospects).

Just because a player went to a small school doesn't mean he doesn't have talent.

I didn't know that. Thanks for the info. Makes it even easier to understand how we found such value. A late bloomer.

It is just all the Henson hate. If you like Henson, then you have to be against Romo. If either one turns out to be great NFL QB, then we are better off. Just need all the Henson haters to quit talking trash.
Romo showed something last night. Great. Henson showed something in NFLE. Great. How about we all agree they both have great potential and pull for both?

If Bledsoe goes down, I think either one can step in and play well.

No offense, but that sounds an awful lot like snobbery.

Why even put Bledsoe back on the field?

So he can get sacked time and again?

I disagree, i think Romo will play well, and Henson will struggle. And it's not because of any pro-Romo or anti-Henson agenda. I just feel that Romo has proven himself to be the better quarterback. I'd like for both of them to be success stories, but I think Romo is the only one headed that way.

I agree totally
Why cant this be a win win situation and be happy for whoever does well.

Why so hard for some to like Romo?

1. Because many fans feel like they have to pick sides and participate in the (needless) Romo v. Henson debate. And as people voice their opinion in public - their opinions tend to get more rigid. -- I'd like for both Romo and Henson to get better before I have to pick a side. I like them both and hope they both do well.

2. An overemphasis on the importance of draft status. (Wouldn't if be something if Romo, Hurd, and Thompson all see action at the same time at some point in the coming years?).

well this is utter tripe.

i like henson. i think he can do it but apparantely he's just not ready yet. i don't buy into the hollywood movie conspiracies but i do think bill is playing bill games w/henson.

but if romo can and does step it up - more power to him cause my main concern is that in 5 years from now bp is still here and bledsoe is out there w/a walker or something and the only thing billp can say is "best chance to win consarnit!"

but liking henson doens't mean hating romo.

One word...Agenda.

I've seen it used when the tables were flipped.

Let's just be happy the guy had a good game.

I'll bet that Henson plays alot in our next pre-season game. Hopefully, he plays just as well. It'll benefit the Cowboys ultimately.

If both play great throughout the pre-season, other teams will see that and the highest bidder can take one of them if we are so inclined to let one of them go.

 

[Angus]

I was very pleased when Henson was signed, but I have come to doubt how well he fits in with the team -- not from a physical or football-knowledge standpoint, but from a comradery standpoint. It seems Henson is like Bledsoe: if he commands respect by players it is because of his use of his talent and hard work to achieve success. But Romo appears to be well liked by everyone in addition to respecting his talent and work ethic. He may just have a more comfortable, easier, "leader-like" way about him. Or not.

I can describe this phenomenon in 2 words.

"Quincy" and "Hutch."

All the ill will between posters over players they like or dislike traces right back to those 2 players and the way people let their divergent feelings on those 2 get personal, and their stubborn desire to keep it personal.

It's all their fault. Book it.
