Will Romo make 3rd pro bowl in '08

[sonnyboy]

This isnt such a rediculous question.

I say yes. I also believe he will show a similar gain in effeciency that he did
from 2006 to 2007.

 

[jobberone]

Is this a trick question?

 

[THUMPER]

Let me know what you think...if he stays healthy will he be in the pro bowl in '08...and what numbers do you think he will put up next year.

No. Romo sucks and he won't throw for more than 1000 yards next season before being replaced by the great Brad Johnson.

Of course he will be in the Pro-Bowl next year and will likely have another 4000+ yard season, the guy is a player.

Are we really this hard up for something to talk about folks?

Probably, because Ely is still not as good as Tony, and I don't think Favre will make it again. Hasselback is borderline.

I might have to guess that the order will be:

Romo
E. Manning
Bulger

Funny one of the posters citing the fact that Eli was able to win the playoffs and SB this year vs Romo's failure to do so. Maybe you should check to see see how many years Eli (first round high draft QB pick) has been the starting QB compared with the fact that Romo (undrafted in 03) has only been the starting QB for the Cowboys for 1 year -- in 07.

Bottom line is....


Eli: SB MVP and only one INT the entire post season.

Romo: 0-2 in the post season and horrible in December.


I don't wanna hear about drafts and what was expected from him. Bottom line is, Jerry put the money on the table for a reason and it wasn't to massively fall to mediocrity in December and give some very average playoff performances. The fact is, Romo is still unproven and hasn't really done anything yet, especially when it counts. The regular season only matters if you finish in January and February. Don't believe me, ask the last team to 18-1 about the 1.

Are we already that bored?

This is the type of stuff that will be here until draft.....

Its going to be....

1) When will Romo be inducted to Hall of fame?

2) How does Jerry give up to get Darren McFadden?

3) Whats Roy going to weigh at Mini Camp?

4) When does Carpenter replace Akin?

5) Is Stanback going to play this year?

6) Do we resign Jacque Reeves?

7) When does Wade move Henry to FS?

8) Who can replace Kosier in Free Agency?

9) Can McQuistain really play LT?

10) When is Brad Johnson cut?

11) Is Hoyte a linebacker?

12) How many fair catches will Patrick Crayton have this year?

13) When in training camp will Kevin Burnett hurt himself?

14) When does Hatcher start and Spears move to DT rotation?


All just fun to talk and speculate about but no one knows but Jerry.

I dont see why not if he stays healthy, there are not 3 QBs in the NFC that are better and he has the advantage of playing in Dallas where most of our games are nationally televised.

As far as numbers go, I would think 4000 yards with 40 TDs.

 

[Beast_from_East]

True, but...


He didn't started getting sacked heavily against Philly til the 4th quarter when Gurode went down. He went 2 for 12 in his first passes in the game and didn't get any better as it went on. Maybe it's just me, but I don't like when at the beginning of the game, Aikman is saying Romo said earlier in the week somewhere along the lines that the Philly D presents no problem for him and is easy to figure out. Not to mention after the Detroit game, B. Johnson said he was trying to convince Romo that winning those types of games aren't easy but he wasn't hearing it. Plenty of people have said it and I agree with them, that Romo doesn't seem to understand how hard it is to win in the NFL.

In the last 3 games of the season, he threw 5 interceptions and only 1 touchdown. That type of drop off doesnt happen by accident.

No offense, but what exactly is your point in all of this?

Is Romo the best QB that has ever played in the NFL, of course not. He is basically a Bret Farve clone, you get alot of TD passes and you get alot of INTs.

With that being said, Romo is the best QB this team has had since Aikman retired. I think we had 17 different starting QBs during this span. So maybe Romo does hold the ball a little too long, or he does throw into coverage when he shouldnt, but I will gladly take Romo over those other 17 scrubs we trotted out there for the past decade.

Besides, we gave Romo $35 mill guaranteed. He will be finishing his career with Dallas so I ask again what is your point?

 

[The Panch]

He will be finishing his career with Dallas so I ask again what is your point?

My point is his performance drastically falling in December is becoming a trend and that's not a trend we can win playoff games with.

So whats your point?

Your boy Elie Mae was 0-2 in the playoffs prior to this year and look at how many losses Peyton had before winning a ring. I think the Colts lost in the playoffs like 8 yrs in a row before reaching the SB.

Romo is not perfect, but he is the best QB we have had since Aikman. We went through 17 starters before winning the lottery with Romo and now you are busting his balls because of a playoff loss that had more to do with other players (see Patrick "I drop TDs and quit on my routes" Crayton) than him.

So what is your point complaining about Romo, he is not going anywhere with $35 mill guranteed contract.

Quit trying to take the coward way out by calling me an Eli fan because I'm not blinded by fan bias to the point where I'll act like Romo's performance bombing in December isn't a problem.



Did I say it was his fault we lost in the playoffs? No, so quit blabbering a bunch of b.s. that has nothing to do with what Im getting at.

 

[Beast_from_East]

My point is his performance drastically falling in December is becoming a trend and that's not a trend we can win playoff games with.

The trend is the TEAM playing bad in December. The TEAM was choking in December before Romo was even the starter, so I reject your theory that Romo's play is the reason for the decline.

If the line doesnt block and the recivers dont catch, kinda hard for the QB to have good numbers.

Even if what you are saying is true, there is not a dam thing we can do about it now. We handed Romo $35 mill guaranteed and he is going to be with us for a long time.

 

[Vintage]

Probably.

Somewhere in the neighborhood of 3800-4000 yards, 35 TD, 17 INT

 

[TellerMorrow34]

That's all Im asking. Im a fan of Tony. Just not of his inconsistency and immaturity(on the field).




People on this board may criticize Eli Manning all they want, but at least he learned when to stop playing gun sling football and stop forcing things. Especially when it mattered, in January. Tony's great when he's on, but his style is hazardous and constantly gets him in trouble.

Does Romo get the same 4 years of starting before people pile on him for not being 'mature enough' after a whole year and a half?

In case you're wondering the answer to that is no, he doesn't. Apparently people think he should have just walked into the starting line up playing every single week like the next Joe Montana.

Eli: SB MVP and only one INT the entire post season.

Don't believe me, ask the last team to 18-1 about the 1.

Bottom line it took Eli 4 years of starting and a very similiar 0-2 playoff start before he got it done this season.

Perhaps, just perhaps, you'll stop and realize that QBs dont just walk out there and win every time you turn around, in the playoffs, right away.

Even Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, Joe Montana, and Aikman stumbled in the playoffs.

 

[TellerMorrow34]

As for the original question, yes, baring injury he'll make the Probowl.

I don't know if he'll put up the same type of great numbers he did this year, I still think he'll put up big numbers, and he'll make the Probowl.

To answer the other question I do think he'll win us at least one playoff game this year, if not more.

 

[Bob Sacamano]

the Pro Bowl Qbs will probably be Romo, Brett and ELi
