Just wouldn't be a NFL day with out a Romo thread

Not the same without MM here.

Romo ain't their problem ... he has great stats.

Romo can lead the Cowboys to a Superbowl PARTY.

Fixed it.

now were gettin somewhere

I guess we are going to give him one more year.
Thats what we say every year.

Not like we have a choice other than not watching.

Where is he?

he had to take a vacation.

ok, glad he's not dead or sumthin.

Maybe he should change his name to Eli Romo.

If No-mo was a manning, archie would have left him at the buss station as a kid.

sorry, romo isnt even on the same QB planet as manning

C mon dawg look at the stats.

If he had a solid and commited team, then I say yes.

But tell me, Sports Guru's.... What are our alternatives??

Lake guide you know Romo plays defense and special teams as well as QB.

Pretty simple upgrade the talent on defense, get a couple quality olinemen, and a go to wr, get a pass catching te(Whitten is getting up there in age) and get a new coach.

That would be anyone....even Tebow.

Did you guys see how much time Brady had back there? Not much sometimes....but most of the time he stood still, so his linemen would know how to block...Unlike Antonio who panics and they dont know where he is.

Romo is playing golf this weekend

I think you should coach the Cowboys, you think you know more than the coaches, you can judge talent better than them, hell, why don't you just buy the Cowboys, surely you could do better than that dumb Arkansas idiot that owns them, he is such an idiot.

i dont think he is as good as Eli
but he was not a draft pick either

Romo could win if jerruh didn't go down on the sideline or in the draft room

Romo is good he doesn't play defenestration's and doesn't call his own plays Jason Garrett sucks.

I finally agree with camper on something.

Geez, Happykamper....no need to get your thong all up in a wad. You act like Antonio is your son. Please try to control your emotions. It's just a game, dude.

Wow, very, very sensitive, like road rage.

The only way Romo can lead them to a Super Bowl is if he's drivig the bus.....

Homo is a wuss that has no desire or drive to win. Put a fighter like McGee in there if you wanna see someone actually bust a gut to get a win...

...and Kitna has been a backup his whole career for a reason....

McGee is a spare

Romo wasn't the reason they missed the playoffs this year. If i were him i would look at going to another team just to get away from Jerry. This team is going no where with Jerry as an owner/gm.

Bash Romo all you want, but the facts are Dallas would not be as good without him. Take him out and you have a 5-11 team. Romo was the least of problems this year, with the exception of the 3 games that he blew up on. haha

"Oh No, Romo!"..........nuf said.

Fixed

No, the Cowboys would not be as good if you took him out and left the position to the other QB's on the roster this past year. I don't think that is the point though. Would the Cowboys be better if they had a different "top-line" QB instead of Romo? Would they be better if they had Eli instead of Romo?

As the old saying goes ... stats are for losers. After watching the NYG play from the first of Dec through yesterday, I don't think you can come to any conclusion other than Eli is a "winner" and is at his best during crunch time. Did he do it all himself, of course not, but I have a hard time believing that if Romo was their QB they would have been hoisting the Lombardi Trophy last night.

Oh no!!!

Golf and Romo in the same thread......

IBTL

Eli's good in December, Romo isn't. Anyone got Romo's stats for the month of Dec........ If ya can't finish the season strong there's something wrong, it's like the Cowboys never wake up from their turkey nap after thanksgiving.

Romo wasn't the problem this December. You can thank their mediocre defense and doodie o-line.

There is a reason McGee and Kitna don't play. They are not good.

The pass defense the Cows have is not championship quality. Couple their incompetence with a pass rush that has ONE rusher on the entire team, and you are not gonna compete at the upper levels of pro foootball.

In fact, I am not sure the Cow's pass defense would be competitive at the FCS level.

Oh, was he being sarcastic? I really do want you to coach and I'll buy the team.

That way we can draft a division I college QB and get this thing headed in the right direction. Romo can be the career backup.

Blow it up, trade romo or something, have a bad year, get a high draft pick and draft the best QB out there. Its been done before.

I'll give it to Eli though. They got hot during the last of the season when it counted. Gave him a lot of confidence going into the playoffs. He did what he was supposed to do and closed games. Is he better than Brady, no. I didn't think Eli played better than Brady last night. It was about equal. Eli drained the clock down like he needed to and Brady's receivers choked the last drive. It's just the way it goes.

You dont need 7-9, 8-8, 9-7 seasons that romo gives you. Can't climb to the top being average.

um, the Giants just won the Superbowl being 9-7...

If that was the case,they would be worse.

Eli wins when it really counts........

please please please. I dont care how he leaves. Just so he leaves.

you guys still havent figured out that you cant have a QB that screws around with the football. The evidence is there every year.

won't argue with that.

but to say Romo is garbage is stupid. the guy was sacked 36 times this season. his stats don't lie. its not his fault the Cowboys suk.

romo is going to win the super bowl next year, that is a fact

Yes, we are talking about playing well when it counts. Not shrinking in the spotlight.

think you have had too much kobe

I didnt say he was garbage. He's a career backup. He's Jeff Garcia.

How good is Romo? Since he's started tell me what kinda of talent he had around him on the TEAM? Not much since they are on what the 3rd coach and still can't get it done they've gone with a "legend in Parcell's, a defensive coach(Phillips), Garrett (offensive coach?). Build the defense, and oline get a smash mouth running game, move Romo around in the pocket he's pretty mobile. Sometimes a coach needs to use the player to the best of their ability to be successful.
You either got to do like Weebs said and blow it up and trade Romo and rebuild the team and hope it doesn't take 3 or 4 more tries to find the right qb if you think Romo is that bad.

wow. im speechless.

how many times did he fail to throw the ball away, or hold it too long? why didnt he call a timeout with two left and 19 seconds on the clock? i agree he isnt the only problem with the cowboys, far from it. but he just isnt that good, none of them are. the secondary is a joke

like i said earlier, with the exception of 3 games that he blew up this year, the kid played good.

When Drew Bledsoe was sacked it was Drew Bledsoe's fault. Romo gets sacked and its not romo's fault. Shouldnt he be getting the ball out quicker? Thats what bwas said about Bledsoe.

he isnt a kid in QB years. he is an experienced NFL QB as far as time served. of course if you surround him with a high level defense and a bigtime O line it would be better, oh and recievers.....and coaches..........damn we suck

There's just all kinds of lies in that statement.

He's not a kid. He's supposed to be a seasoned veteran by now. He should have never got paid.

big gulp huh? Well, alrightly see ya later.

huh? you been partying with randy?

to make a quarterback get the ball out quicker is ridiculous. you don't win games rushing the pass. do you see how much time the Patriots line gives Brady. why do you think he picks defenses apart? comparing Bledsoe to Romo. now that's funny.

when i said kid i didn't mean he was a rookie. it was just a term.

It's not worth the effort Mark. That guy doesn't have a clue and there's no reasoning with him. Heck, the reason he talks so much carp about Romo is because he wasn't drafted and didn't play for a tier one university.

And that's exactly the problem.

The Cowboys have enough skill players, it's the rest of the stuff that sucks: no system, poor personnel evaluation, weak GM, etc. It all adds up.

And another thing, they are completely devoid of depth. The two teams who played last night have incredible depth and that was a big reason they were both in the SB.

On the Cowboys, if the FB Fiammetta gets hurt, now the whole running game goes into the toilet.

What rubbish.

Uh oh... I agree with scags...

yeah i was just about to say i was done with this debate. i use to think it was Romo's fault for the Cowboys problems. i jumped off that wagon a while back.

You've finally seen the light!

i wouldnt blame one player, even a QB, for an entire organizations failure. bu i do believe its ok to express an OPINION that the guy just isnt that good. and back it up by saying there are alot of underperformers and underachievers in the cowboy organization. i really dont know how anyone can say he is the greatest thing ever when nothing has really happened to prove it.

This is the reason we have argued so much in the past TexDawg. It's not that I think Romo is the greatest thing since sliced bread. I think he's a very good QB. Yet, some people make him out to be a scrub. This is all I have ever argued against.

The way I see it Romo can win a SB in Dallas. But things have to fall into place and he needs help. He isn't Brady, or Peyton, or even Brees. He needs help. I honestly don't believe Eli could win a SB in Indy. But IMO Peyton would have won multiple SBs in NY.

he's no Eli thats for sure.....

Blow the whole thing up I'm telling you. They have to get rid of the loser mentality. These guys drive by the sign with the 5 superbowl titles and think they dont have to work.

I can count on one hand the guys I would keep on this team.

For grins here. Lets say Jerry trades Romo and signs Peyton Manning. The Cowboys roster stays the same, the Giants roster stays the same and they stay healthy all yr. Who wins the NFC East and why?

Dan marino should not be in the hall of fame!!!! All he has is stats.

not the Cowboys. Peyton is a pocket passer.

What did we get for Romo? If we get a good deal (top tier defensive players, maybe Oline) I say we win the east. If not, I don't think it makes a difference at all.

So I guess Barry Sanders shouldn't be in there either then. Right?

I couldn't stand to listen to all the bullchit that happens at the line of scrimmage that Peyton brings. Besides that, the Cowboys wouldn't be smart enough to figure out that 80% of it is BS and would be running around in circles all game (false start, too many men on the field, scratching their ear holes, etc..). Not counting that our coach would have red hair all over the sidelines before each snap.

Romo is not the cowboys problem. Take Romo away from Dallas next year and you have the 2011 Colts, a 2-14 team whose QB used to hide a ton of flaws.

The Giants two super bowl wins are the best argument the BCS could possibly make for itself. There's no way to say that the Giants are the best team in football or even deserved to be in the playoffs.

Outside of the 49er game, where Eli scored 10 points on drives that didn't start with fumbles by that Williams kid, he had good playoff games against pass defenses ranked 20th (ATL), 31st (NE) and 32nd (GB) in the league. Yes, he played well in the clutch, but he did it against some of the worst defenses in the league. The 49ers collided with their own players twice on easy INTs and had two fumbles and had Alex Smith playing QB and still the Giants had to go to overtime to beat them.

Eli is a good QB in December and January. But that's all. He's not anywhere near the same league as Brady, Peyton, Brees or Rodgers. I think he's right in that next echelon with Rothleisburger and Romo.

Hey Patriot 07, regarding this: "Eli is a good QB in December and January. But that's all. He's not anywhere near the same league as Brady, Peyton, Brees or Rodgers. I think he's right in that next echelon with Rothleisburger and Romo".

Every QB you mentioned has SB victories except one....

I agree. The cowboys have a very good QB to have not won a SB at this point. Teams win SBs, not QBs.

Does that mean Dan Marino < Eli Manning? Come on...

All I have to say is:

"Show me. I'm from Missouri"..

( not really from Missouri, but show me anyway)

I respect Eli and what the Giants did but they have to be the luckiest team in the history of the nfl. If the Cowboys get Romo some help he can be a Super Bowl winning quarterback.

its a joke. Everyone says stats are just stats.

Marino won a hekkuva lot of playoff games and got to the Superbowl. Also, he actually got to the superbowl his first or second year BEFORE all the stats. That would allude to the fact that he was pretty damn great coming out of college. Read a book..

What happened the last time Romo went out?

I'm just asking since that might show if he's the glue that holds the .500 team together or if ya'll are just doing some wishful thinking.

Last year when he went out after started 1-4. Then Kitna came in to have a 5-5 record the rest of the season after losing the game Romo got hurt in.


Romo has yet to be a quarterback that has proved he can play at the end of the season. Not just in the pros but also in college.

delusional much?

I know a lot of coaches at all levels and I havent talked to one that likes nomo. Not one.
Only people that like him are recliner coaches, fantasy guys and some girls.
oh Yeah and the guys dipping in Jerry's cookie jar like Spagnola and Brad Sham.

You have a point. You are talking about bringing in a football guy to one of the dumbest football teams in the world. nomo is so JV

There is a reason he was undrafted.

excellent point

Well this is just crazy talk here.

Just like the Giants, the rest of the Cowboys team plays better at some points than others. The Giants D-line shows up in the last couple weeks of the season and during the playoffs. They don't do much before that. The Cowboys came together and played very well when Romo went out last year. And Kitna was much better than Curtis Painter also. Put Curtis Painter in place of Romo in 2012 and the Cowboys are 2-14.

Weebs, what part is delusional?

The Giants just got lucky at the right time during two playoff runs. The Giants beat a Falcons team that stunk, a GB team without it's best players, only beat the 49ers because they can't field a punt and their d-backs kept colliding with one another trying to intercept passes, and still needed OT to do it.

As for the super bowl, the Cruz TD pass should have been an INT, the Giants fumbled 5 times in the two SBs against the Patriots and recovered every one of them, got drops from Welker and Hernandez (who never drop the ball), got a great catch from Manningham (who always drops the ball), and still needed a late drive from Manning against the 31st ranked pass defense to win it. They played well, but they were only there because they got very lucky and only won it because they were lucky. It wasn't because Manning is now an Elite QB any more than the Steelers won their 2 SBs because Big Ben is an elite QB. Romo is every bit as good as those two guys. But the rest of the Cowboys are not nearly as good as the rest of the Steelers or Giants. It's still a team game. Put the Giants GM, Coughlin and their D-line on the cowboys and now you've got a team!

Like we say in golf, no room for comments on the scorecard. They won and the Lombardi Trophy is theirs again for a year. But we can comment on internet forum and my $.02 is that their success has had a lot to do with luck.

Romo showed a little something when all the Cowboys had was the Quincey Carters, Drew Hensons, Drew Bledsoes, etc. etc .A couple good games maybe a half season and Jerry gives him a $60 million contract. Can Romo ever be a winner? Jerry will never admit that mistake!

Same reason Brady went in the 6th round. Talent evaluation isn't an exact science.

I think he's "capable" of being a winner with Troy Aikman's Offensive line, Emmit Smith, Moose, Micheal and Novacek. Then again, I might even be able to complete a pass or two with those guys. The question is.....did Aikman DEMAND they play at that level, or was he just lucky to have them? Did the coach inspire them? ( not after Jimmy left...as far as I can tell).

Here's the thing, he's no Troy. 'Cant make the all same throws as accurately. Is he good enough? It's really hard to tell. It's no secret that I dont like him or his style of play. But that fact alone means nothing. What means something is the answer to the question:

" What did you do for the team today?"

again....JUST A JOKE.dear god.maybe you should read all the posts before ringing in. or put down "the book" first.

I guess once they won their Super Bowls and Jimmy left Troy stopped "demanding" they play at that level. The bottom line is once Jimmy's influence wore off no amount of Troy "demanding" was going to produce anything. Jimmy drove that bus PERIOD! Leadership starts at the top and filters down. Granted you have to have leaders on the team, but if all you have is a puppet for a head coach then that leadership ain't gonna amount to much.

We can argue all day long about Romo. However, until Jerry changes the way he does things it won't matter who the QB is. The Cowboys have very little talent on Defense. It remains to be seen how good of a DC RR can be. The same goes for JG as the HC/OC. Still, as long as Jerry runs the show it won't matter. His idol was Al Davis; he has now successfully turned the Cowboys into Al Davis' raiders.

Sad but true

Firstly, you need to declare your team allegiance otherwise you come across as a violently biased whining Patriot fan who is all bluster and a bad loser.

Secondly, the Giants beat arguably the best defense in the NFL when they beat the 49ers in an away game.

or maybe someone should use a smilie if they are joking. My mistake, I thought you were another football idiot.

I see the smilie. It didnt show up on the phone.

Its all good.

Hey smooopy.

soup nazi is on seinfeld

The only Bowl Romo can win and should be in is the Toilet Bowl

Giants definitely not the best team in the NFL....lucky breaks in the playoffs yeah and that's the way the system works and they win the superbowl.

The Giants were the best team when it counted.

let me ask you this geniuses. if you plug Romo in as qb for the 49er's instead of Smith, do they make it to the SB?

be honest. don't give me a bs answer.
