Little Rusty 17 Posted December 18, 2011 This Guy's truly Special !!!....it's only because of his team mates, Coaching & circumstance (so far) that he's not already in the HOF. As a long time Cowboy Fan,...Tony is for me 2nd to only the immortal Roger Staubach,..and only because he has yet to win a Championship. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IndyFan 2 Posted December 18, 2011 Stats please ? You are obviously a Fantasy Geek because your first reply is "STATS?" One game that comes to mind is Detroit when he threw 3 or 4 picks.

He does OK beating up on weak defenses and looks like a deer in the headlights against good defenses Just like almost every other QB usually does. Really though, most of a QB stats come against crap teams. Its just the way it is. Brady, Rivers, Brees do the same thing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He does OK beating up on weak defenses and looks like a deer in the headlights against good defenses Just going on his passing and Td numbers vs better teams. Week 1 @ Jets defense 342 yards 2 Td's. Week 2 @ SF 352 Yards 2 Td's. Week 3 vs Det 331 yards 3 Td's. Det is better this year but they do give up a lot. Shaky example here. Still had a nice game. Week 6 @ NE 317 Yards 1 Td. Week 9 vs a good Seattle defense 279 yards 2 Td's. Week 14 vs Giants 321 yards 4 Td's. In week 12 against a Miami team who was playing much better at that time...Romo had 226 yards 2 Td's. 29 passing Td's overall with just about 4000 yards passing so far.

A Qb in the the top 6-10 best QBs in the NFL is not an "average" QB. He's very good and can play great at times. He'll never get that elite notion unless he wins some big playoff games. There's basically only 2 QBs that can win on their own without a good defense and that's Rodgers and Brees. Romo needs some help from the defense and he'll easily be competing for a shot at the NFCC game for the next 3-4 years to come. He'd also get his shot to get to the Super Bowl if they had a good defense. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jgcrawfish 232 Posted December 18, 2011 this thread is a microcosm of everything that is wrong with Cowboys fans and exactly while the great Bill Parcells said people shouldn't anoint Romo just yet because he hasn't done anything. Now, what...five years later...he still hasn't done anything. I mean damn, right now there are only TEN QB's on pace to throw for 4000+ yrds. FOR CHRISSAKE, HE'S PLAYING A TEAM THAT HAS LOST EIGHT FREAKING GAMES IN A ROW...HE'S HAVING A GOOD GAME BUT IS ONLY DOING WHAT A DECENT QB SHOULD SO AGAINST A TEAM THAT QUIT 4 WEEKS AGO. Jacksonville put up 41 straight points against this same team...Please, do us all a favor and shutup until Romo leads them to the NFC Championship game or something. The guy is 31 freakin years old and hasn't done SH!T yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When the pressure is on he makes fatal mistakes. He's done it over and over again. His stats may be good but with the game on the line I would take Brady, Rodgers, Brees, Eli, Peyton, Rivers, Big Ben, Ryan, Tebow and maybe if not now but soon Dalton and Newton over Romo the choke artist. Look at the # of 4th quarter leagues they have blown this year alone. A good qb finds a way to move chains and perserve the lead. Even his own coach has hesitated to let him throw it in critical situations. May want to hesitate on calling someone a moron until Homo wins a game that matters. He's been money in the playoffs against good teams (on the rare occasion they back into the playoffs). By the way, add Eli and Peyton to the list of qbs that can win without good defenses.

Which is a lot more recently than Romo or any other Cowboy has won anything at all. However, I agree completely, Brady hasn't won since Belicheat got caught with hand in the cookie jar. Doesn't change the fact that Romo is a great stats guy, not so much for the skins on the wall though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Recliner Pilot 61 Posted December 18, 2011 Which is a lot more recently than Romo or any other Cowboy has won anything at all. Does it matter how long ago it was? If you give any QB tape of the opponents practices leading up to your game against them they have a good chance of winning. That's why I put a huge * next to the NE trophies, and like to point out Brady hasn't won squat since he hasn't been getting those tapes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WhiteWonder 2,171 Posted December 18, 2011 Romo is not the QB i would want in clutch situations. He is a fine fantasy QB but the evidence is overwhelming in terms of late season success. i thought it was really telling in the pre game last night when they did a teaser for Michael Irvins sit down with Romo and Irvin said something tot he effect of "join me as i sit down with the QB of America's team" and Romo said "I guess thats me." this might seem minor but to me it shows lack of killer instinct. You guess thats you? Hell no you say " THATS ME" emphatically and with purpose. Act like you relish that title, not that its something you're stuck with.
