Tony Romo

[PATSSOX 22]

What are Romo owners doing with him? The last memory of Romo i have is of him throwing 5 picks vs Da Bears. He has 1148 Yards passing with only 5 TD and 8 INT's so far.

 

 

Baltimore is only allowing 12.3 pts per game to QB's in the first 5 games of 2012. That is 3rd best in NFL behind #2-Seattle(10.3 PPG) and #1-Chicago(8.9 PPG).

Who is starting him and who is benching him and for who?

 

I have Romo and Cutler and have been playing Romo except last week where Cutler had a solid game vs the Jags.

[The Bag-O-Bones 5]

I traded Steve Smith for Big Ben so Romo will be on the for a while if not the season.

[thesitedoc 5]

I have both Romo and Flacco so I have been waffling all week on this. Bottom line for me is that Flacco seems to be playing much better at home. I am hoping for a high scoring game regardless.

 

The Baltimore defense doesn't scare me so much so I would have no problem starting Romo, but his Oline does scare me a bit.

 

Flacco just seems safer for about 250 and 2. I'll take that over risking Romo.

[Rico Suave 1]

I have a three headed QB monster of Romo, Schaub and Ponder. Each week they are generally in the low to mid-teens of QB rankings and usually bunched together. Each week I generally play the wrong choice I probably won't start Romo tomorrow but I do have a feeling he will have a decent game. I will have to drop one of them at week 8 due to roster bye week space so I am going to see how Romo (and Ponder) does the next two games before making the decision. If Romo keeps up the scoring in the low teens then I will cut him loose.

[Law 220]

what are Romo owners doing?

 

Losing?

[Jarvis Basnight 119]

Losing?

Nope. Start him every week other than the bye when I started Cutler. I plan to keep starting him.

 

That's what I'm doing with him.

[sirensong 111]

after game 1, romo has not performed well. but let's go back to last year, when he threw 3 picks against DET early in the season. after that game, he threw 20+ TDs and only 5 INTs over the rest of the year.

 

this weekend is once again a tough matchup, because BAL gives up a ton of yardage, but does well with scoring D and takeaways. but remember that romo has played this defense back when they were at the top of their game, and performed well.

[Law 220]

Nope. Start him every week other than the bye when I started Cutler. I plan to keep starting him.

Yes! Your team clearly won because of Romo and his 5 INTs.

 

Don't know if the rest of your team went off, or your opponent laid down, but you did NOT win due to the QB position. Period.

If you won, it was in spite of Romo, not because of him.

Here is CBS take on him as they say bench him.

 

Tony Romo, QB, Cowboys (at BAL)

Current own/start %: 97/20

I'd rather start: Ben Roethlisberger (at TEN), Kevin Kolb (vs. ARI), Christian Ponder (at WAS)

The Ravens have not allowed a quarterback to throw for multiple passing touchdowns against them in 23 straight regular season games. That is the daunting trend that Tony Romo has to try and deal with coming off of the bye week, which followed a disastrous five-interception loss to the Bears in Week 4. Romo has not produced 20 Fantasy points in a game since Week 1 when he had 29 against the Giants. Since then, Romo has a grand total of 27 Fantasy points and has been a huge bust. The Ravens are giving up just 11 Fantasy points per game to opposing quarterbacks, due in large part to the fact that they have allowed a league-low two passing touchdowns all year long. Only Michael Vick has topped 20 points against the Ravens in 2012 and he needed nine points with his legs to get there. Tom Brady, who is on a different level than Romo, managed just 19 points against this Ravens team and that is why I don't see any reason to start Tony in Week 6. I do believe in him long term and would absolutely buy low after the stinker I expect him to have this Sunday, but I am not starting him in any league this week.

 

I still can not figure out why i like Romo and the Cowboys? They have cost me the last couple years but yet i keep coming back

[ffrookie312 0]

Starting Luck over Romo and Dalton

[TheUsualSuspect 207]

Starting Luck over Romo and Dalton

 

Similar situation... Starting Luck over Romo and Ponder this week.

 

The disappointment of Romo has been overshadowed by the emergence of Luck and even Ponder thus far. A bum off the streets could tell you not to start Romo vs BAL D. If Ravens D is vulnerable at all this season it is vs the run, not the pass.

[sirensong 111]

if i had romo, that would mean i waited on a QB, which kinda limits matchup options. but generally speaking, i'd play the matchup here and go with a better option if i had one. even if i thought that the matchup might be better, i'd probably sit romo. but it's important to consider everything before making a call.

[NE-TheGoodLife 0]

Romo is my backup to Matty Ryan. I will play Romo next week against Carolina then will figure out what to do with him.

[Little Rusty 17]

As a Cowboy fan i've put him on my bench in favor of Alex Smith for now. I realize Alex isn't the greatest QB....but he's hot right now, and Romo's in the midst of his worst NFL games. Until things level out and the Cowboys become productive again...i'll keep it this way.

 

I FULLY expect him to bounce back though in a week or 2.

[Serpent 51]

Starting Dalton over him.

 

Starting him over Drew Brees.

In case anyone is wondering im starting Dalton over Romo in 2 leagues. Or i might start Romo in one and Dalton in the other just in case one has good week and one not so good. But the way my season is going im sure they both will suck.

Well that is a little risky right there. Id have to stick with Romo since Smith has a messed up middle finger

The rest of my team is pretty good because I drafted Romo. 7th round. Did anyone draft Romo thinking he would carry them?

 

5 INT's was 1 week. He's played 4 weeks so far, had a rough start and a really good one. I think it's way too soon to write the book on Romo.

[TheUsualSuspect 207]

A $.25 of the season is significant, and that's for teams making the playoffs and playing til week 17. Romo does have an opportunity to turn it around, but he has not given me any reason to think things will change anytime soon. I do not hold Romo entirely responsible. I do not even know where they rank statistically, especially with bye weeks, but Cowboys O is one of the worst in the league from what I have seen IMO. For owners like me who have Luck, I may never look back. Romo is on the...

[smashmouths@blf 33]

I traded romo and Chris Johnson for eli manning and Ryan Williams a few weeks back. Eli has been great but Williams is made of glass. Still glad I made the trade so far.

[GobbleDog 816]

I don't have Romo, but if I did I'd I wouldn't drop him because he is capable of monster games as proven last year. Unlike Cutler, who I dropped last week and I noticed is still a free agent. I bet Romo wouldn't make it past waivers before someone claimed him.

[Little Rusty 17]

Well that is a little risky right there. Id have to stick with Romo since Smith has a messed up middle finger

Still?........wow, that shows you how far Romo has fallen.

 

btw....."Little Risky" is my brother

 

 

 

ROTO

 

Alex Smith (finger) practiced fully on Friday and is listed as probable for Week 6 against the Giants.

As expected, Smith is in no danger of missing Sunday's game. On the season, Smith has posted an 8:1 TD-to-INT ratio and is averaging 217 passing yards per game.

I wouldn't feel that good about this trade if I were you.

[PATSSOX 22]

I wouldn't feel that good about this trade if I were you.

 

Yeah i was thinking the same thing. Id be if i got CJ and Romo for Eli and Williams.

 

I like Romo as a great "buy low" guy right now. Especially if i was starting someone like Luck, RGIII, or even Newton.

[PATSSOX 22]

Just went to check out news on my site and this was first on My Players News on CBS. Instead of lightening his load they need to find a running game. Well i guess that actually goes hand in hand.

 

Cowboys to lighten Romo's load

Tony Romo, QB, DAL

News: After throwing five interceptions his last time out, Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo will be looking to get back on track heading into Week 6 at Baltimore. With an extra week of preparation, the Cowboys are planning to lighten Romo's pre-snap against a Baltimore defense that has yielded 261 passing yards per game. "As a staff, we talked about just lightening (Romo's) load and trying to do things that are simple and giving him more peace of mind that he can just come up and call a play and run it," offensive coordinator Bill Callahan told the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. "That simplification will help all of us, and we'll see."

Analysis: Romo has eclipsed the 300-yard mark twice this season and has only had one multi-touchdown game to go along with his eight total interceptions. The Ravens haven't allowed a quarterback to throw for two touchdowns in 25 consecutive games, dating back to 2010. Baltimore has allowed just 11 Fantasy points per game against opposing quarterbacks, which puts them third in the league. Starting Romo in his first game since his five-interception fiasco may be risky. He is considered as a low-end option in deeper formats heading into Week 6.

Romo you suck Do not make last minute changes people

Only Romo owner I know is repeatedly sending me texts containing lots of profanity.

[PATSSOX 22]

Well Murray is hurt and Ravens just ran kickoff back for TD so they gonna have to throw the ball. Wait a minute that might be bad too

hard to win away games when you make mistakes. the difference in this game is the romo INT and the return TD.

hard to win away games when you make mistakes. the difference in this game is the romo INT and the return TD.

 

You can also say the difference is the Dez 2pt conversion drop, or the missed assignments that led to the kick off return, or one of several big penalties on Dallas. That being said, I had Romo on the bench today and as a cowboys fan and a ff owner I am continually frustrated by the ups and downs of Romo.

mine was posted before the game was over. romo was clutch on the TD drive, and then bryant literally let the game slip through his hands.

 

it's exasperating--seems like there's always something going wrong to cancel out whatever might be going right. gash the BAL defense for almost 500 yards...then give up a special teams TD. murray puts up 90yds rushing in the 1st half...then gets hurt. romo plays brilliantly in crunch time...but only after an INT that turns into a TD drive.

 

seems like we can't put together a complete game in all 3 phases. the season isn't lost by any means, but unless they can fix the damn mistakes in a big damn hurry, we might as well start mocking the 14th-18th picks of the 2013 draft.

[PATSSOX 22]

I really need to stop playing Romo And fock Bryant

[cowboyz 2]

their starting center went down again.

[sirensong 111]

something i've been thinking for the last few games--has anyone else noticed that romo's passes seem to lack zip this season? he's always had a good arm (though not a great one). but lately it seems like passes are in the air a split second longer than they used to.

 

or is that just me?

[Serpent 51]

Well, Dalton over Romo no longer works. And to think, I thought this guy was a steal in the 5th round. I wish I had taken him in the 7th, but I only ever saw him drop that far once, and I didn't take him that time.

 

It doesn't look like he will turn it around this year either. The Cowboys should have kept Laurent Robinson.
