yes, another Romo thread

[theebs]

I saw the title and I opened the thread anyway. Worse yet I started to read it.

I would have rather been Ric rolled.

Getting ric rolled is awesome.

I wish people still did that. Just the few opening seconds of that sond crack me up.

If anyone who needs to step up and be a leader with this franchise. It has to be DeMarcus Ware.

first off, if at all possible, can you try and post a link when you find something like that (unless you watched it on tv of course)

second, I have to concur with alot of people on here and say Romo is one of the strongest links on this team. There are alot more players that need to step up before we go accusing Romo of not doing so.

I will agree on the need for a new coach that will take control of this team like a coach should because Wade is not doing it. That may cure alot of problems and least of all it will Romo as well.

After listening to his sunday conversation with Irvin, I know Romo is not a leader. His statement regarding what it takes to win says it all. to take a back handed stab at TO and the problems from the past is really stupid. that's falling into the trap. that's falling into what the media wants you to say or do. do you think Aikman or Manning would have answered that way? Aikman would have answered something like, going to practice, focusing and raising the sense of urgency with everyone on the team instead of "no finger pointing", everyone doing their thing and worrying about themselves...etc.

I know this is neat picking, but focus is not to get even now that you have the opportunity to get back at a certain inndividua. its not that complicated. focus. raise the sense of urgency. understand every play and every game is important. execute the game plan. its not that hard.

sorry, this highschoolish, hollywood TMZ type of drama doesn't get you to win anything.

that's why we need a coach with a strong personality. some one like parcells. doesn't ahve to do anything with X's and O's but in the absence of leadership in the players, we need a leader at the head coaching level. Switzer was a bafoon, but we had Irvin, Aikman, Haley and Smith. this team has no true leaders, specially at the all important QB position. no team with out a true leader at the QB has won a superbowl in the past 20 years. a strong coach, would kick Romo's freaking arse into being the leader that he needs to be and get away from the drama.

this may sound like a rant

Jamie Dukes is that you?? Surely nobody else is foolish enough to spout the same crap he did.

With over 6½ billion people in the world (of which millions have internet access)...

Just saying.

I don't know what Ric rolled means, but I imagine I might have wanted that done too rather than read this thread myself. Everybody is an expert on leadership. I would like see which company to op or team he lead to championships, to know about leadership. Oh Brother...

The bolded part applies to your post moreso than Romo's answer. You sound like someone who is so loyal to Owens that you have to pick on every little detail said about one of the men that Owens pointed his finger at. That may or may not be true, but that's what your post sounds like. Now if you want to talk about Wade not providing any leadership, that's different.

find some of my posts from summer and you will see I HATED TO.

but if you feel like you have to say "I guess this doesn't count as a big game" after we beat fphilly in response to the media saying he can't win the big game....that's high schoolish..... why is he playing tit for tat with the media? it means they have gotten to his head. its on his mind. and the little bit with Irvin about not pointing fingers, taking it personal....BS....is that the most important message you wanted to give.....

why not say, raise our sense of urgency, focus, execute, take responsibility...blah blah...instead he said what he said, taking the opportunity to get even in some way...


that's high schoolish

Saying he's a bad leader means he's a bad influence, thus he is the problem IMO.

Just because he isn't the most vocal guy, doesn't mean he's not a leader. He busts his hump every. single. game. Players should be able to feed off of that.

I didn't say he is a "bad" leader. I said he is "not" a leader. those two are different things. everyone keeps making explanations on how romo is a leader. I just don't think he is a leader. which is a huge, huge difference than a bad leader...TO was a bad leader...bad influence. romo is a good player, but not a leader

 

[CowboysFaninHouston]

In my opinion, Romo's a really, really good leader. You just have to listen to what he actually says. He keeps his eye on the ball, speaks eloquently for the team, and demonstrates on the field every Sunday that he can get his team in position to win just about every game. He's also worked hard to eliminate the biggest problems with his game.

Personally, I think any fan who doesn't see, understand, and acknowledge Romo's effort and ability is completely out of his or her gourd. There may be issues with his abilities, if you're comparing him to the very best players at his position for his generation, but that's another story.

again, leadership and ability are separate from each other. Romo is very capable, has a lot of skills, competitive and has the tools to succeed. but he doesn't have the leadership. again take my example.....put romo in, take manning out, 2 minutes to go, 40 yeards to go against the Pats, which one will instill the confidence in his team, that we are going to win....trust me....what would the Indy players think at that moment? would they have the confidence and belief that they will win? both of those players have great arms, can make all the throws, etc.

some how, I think if ROmo was in there, they would fall short.

down 14 in the 4th quarter....they make a come back...we were down 14 and felt like we had no chance....because the players didn't believe, had no faith, or confidence.

Next time you have a thought ....... Let It Go.

Exactly,


Better yet. Just go.

Jesus, he didn't answer the question the you "think" it should be answered so he is not a leader?

Glad he took the jab at T-blow, who cares.

You're restating your point. I just don't agree with it. At all. Romo's a great leader, and he almost always gets the team in position to win--even when they fall short. Take a look at his numbers at the end of halves or in the 4th quarter if you question that. In your own scenario, I'd take Romo over Peyton, honestly. Again, if anything, Romo's limitations are more physical than mental.
