Would you be satisfied if Romo...

[iceberg]

Another Cowboy fan that is'nt afraid of greatness.

if by wanting to be the best gains us "not afraid of greatness" then all fans are "great".

ever know a fan that *wanted* their team to lose?

 

[iceberg]

I would not be "satisfied" if we did not win a Superbowl but I would be proud to have a QB as good as Danny White was quarterbacking our team again. Danny White was not the "failure" that many here like to portray him as but things did not go his way in the biggest games for whatever reason.

So in short; I would be satisfied with his talent if he is as good as Danny White was but not with the results if he doesn't win a Superbowl.

this is a good synapsys of my onw view.

danny white was a damn good qb.

what if young never got that bounce?

what if montana never had that WR?

what if aikman were a cardinal?

it takes a lot more than 1 player to make the difference. however, it is the most visable position, so i see why people go there. i'm must amazed they stop there as if that's all there is to it.

elway had to wait how many years before the right team got put around him?

It's not that. It's just that i keep hearing people say we have to win a playoff game first.


WHY?


We played one of the best home teams in the nfl in the playoffs and pretty much beat them. Now our starting qb for the first time since Aikman brings up the two words Super Bowl and everybody wants to say, "Whoa whoa wait a minute lets win a playoff game first".


Get outta here with that. I know that i personally have been waiting for a Cowboy to utter the words Super Bowl. As soon as i heard Romo say that then that is my mindframe. Super Bowl or bust. So hell no i dont want him to be Danny White. I expect to see a Cowboy parade in early February.Period.

Being satisfied with Romo's performance and being satisfied with not winning a SB are two different things.

QBs don't win championships by themselves

Its hard man. Im just so excited for this season. I expect so much out of this group.

so do i - but with my own history and my own...

you fill in the blank.

but between you and me and the billions that come to this forum - next season has me more pumped up than i've been in an awful long time.

 

[Doomsday101]

Would you be satisfied if Romo turned into another Danny White? A damn good QB that didn't get to the SB?

I hope Romo is able to play the game as well as White, as for SB I have said it before and I'll say it again teams win SB not QB's alone

 

[Rackat]

It seems that some have misinterpreted the meaning of my question. I was not saying that Danny White sucked. I was, and continue to be, a fan of his. I was not comparing their style, throwing motion, whether one was better than the other, or anything else. Danny was one reason we had so many winning seasons in a row. If Tony ends his career with winning records, but no ring, would you be satisfied with that?

I would be disappointed in the team.

I would take a Danny White calibre QB, but not if I knew in advance that he would never get to th Super Bowl.

Obviously we can't know that in advance, so the bottom line is that if Romo were to develop into a player with the same skills and production as Danny I would be ok with it, because I always felt Danny had the ability to win a Super Bowl, he just got his starting gig too late - right before the team started suffering from a big dropoff in talent. Danny only had a shot his first year or two, after that the overall team talent wasn't there.

I understand up to a point where you're coming from but here's the thing.

WITHOUT THE FIRST WIN THERE AREN'T ANY OTHERS. This team hasn't seen the second round in quite a long while.

It doesn't matter what might or should have happened in the Seattle game; the fact remains that we came out on the losing end of it. Style points and paper talent mean nothing. As fans we can expect whatever we want to, but it's not our money, strategy, or effort out there on the field; all we can do is sit back and cheer or criticize. And if anybody's betting money on the outcome

Nobody in the Cowboys' organIzation has said they're just "happy to be here" (playoffs). But a lot of organizations get ahead of themselves when they start to look promising. Look at Kitna in Detroit, predicting 10 wins. Yeah, it might happen, but with their history, not that likely this season.

Attend to the little stuff, and the big stuff will follow. Win the first playoff game, and then concentrate on the next one. There's nothing wrong with players saying Super Bowl, but like the players sounding off about the coaching change, it's time to back it up. It doesn't matter what we expect, but what they actually do when the whistle blows.

Will you be satisfied if we win a Super Bowl,, but Romo turns out to be no better than Trent Dilfer?

 

[percyhoward]

Will you be satisfied if we win a Super Bowl,, but Romo turns out to be no better than Trent Dilfer?

You crystalized my thoughts exactly.

 

[LeonDixson]

Will you be satisfied if we win a Super Bowl,, but Romo turns out to be no better than Trent Dilfer?

Yes. It's the results that matter. If we have and average QB that wins Super Bowls for us, you bet I'd take it and like it.

 

[Rackat]

Will you be satisfied if we win a Super Bowl,, but Romo turns out to be no better than Trent Dilfer?

Yes, I would. It would mean that he was good enough to get the job done. Trent is no Aikman, but he ain't a Ryan Leaf either.

 

[PhillyCowboysFan]

Heck, i wasn't satisfied when Danny White didn't get us to the Super Bowl, why would I think that would be ok for Romo.


We are the Dallas *&(*&*^&(*_)( Cowboys as Bill Parcells put it.

We've played in 20% of the Super Bowls.

It is our House no matter where we play.

We are America's team.

Nothing less than Glory and Championships will do.


:starspin

Ya, what he said.

 

[Bob Sacamano]

I can't remember the last Super Bowl team who was carried on the QB's back, Peyton had his resurgent D and running game, Ben had his D, Brady had his D, Dilfer had his D, and so on and so forth

 

[Jimz31]

This is one of those loaded questions that really mean nothing.....

Romo is Romo.

I agree. I think the QB position is critical to a team but winning SB is not about the QB alone. Marino put up outstanding numbers yet no ring, Elway got 2 at the end of his career but having a RB who was putting up around 2,000 yards helped big time prior to that Elway could never get his team over the hump.
