Nobody is saying he was a franchise guy from the start but who is sitting a guy that develops into what Romo did behind Testeverde and Frankenstein Bledsoe while rebuilding a team?What?
He was not a franchise QB who was ready to go from the start.
I don't even know why I even bother with you sometimes.
Yeah after that year went south Romo should have been getting snaps.Vinny was god awful. Not that I remember any great options sitting out there but I think people forget just how bad he was as a QB. That's the guy who would have been fine as a number 2 QB, but just straight bad as your starter.
Eat me. /Carson Wentz, NDSU BisonBill Parcells: "When you have a young quarterback from a smaller school, you're not gonna throw this guy to the wolves. That would've been a disastrous decision."
Sounds like something his best friend head coach would say. I can't wait until both are out of Dallas.Tony Romo, Cowboys quarterback, 2003-present: "I did a very poor job at the combine. I wasn't a very good thrower of the football back then."
I get how it's cool to hate on Romo right now, but it's a heaping pile of bullshit.Sounds like something his best friend head coach would say. I can't wait until both are out of Dallas.
Holy shit that is a lot. I even had to increase the amount of images that can be in a post to even get it posted.
Or get hurt. Or retire. In any case Dak's not going anywhere and himself has a lot to learn.Romo's going to get the job back and he's going to have to put up a couple of stinkers for Dak to get the job back.
Yeah well, that's like... your opinion, man.I get how it's cool to hate on Romo right now, but it's a heaping pile of bullshit.
I can see your point of view, Middie.Yeah well, that's like... your opinion, man.
I've been done with Romo longer than Dak has been here. Been a season or two for me now.
Except Romo is 78-49 in his career. It's a bit unfair to say he's perennially 8-8.I can see your point of view, Middie.
Romo has been a tragic and frustrating player. You want to love him but at the same time, he's fucked up enough to hate.
And yes, he has fucked up. Being a perennial 8-8 team doesn't happen when the "franchise QB" is doing everything right.
Danny White was 62-30. Same thing.Except Romo is 78-49 in his career. It's a bit unfair to say he's perennially 8-8.
Of course Romo has fucked up. That end of season Washington loss for instance (2012?). But every QB fucks up. This team's problems over the years have been way more coaching and personnel related.
Danny White's defenses were consistently elite. Romo's defenses have consistently been among the worst in franchise history.Danny White was 62-30. Same thing.
I was at that game, the weather was completely ridiculous, right around freezing, not cold enough for snow but a pretty consistent rain/sleet/freezing rain mixture. We won like 20-0 or something though with Hasselbeck's brother throwing like 5 interceptions so that was nice.Sean Payton: "We were playing a game in D.C., and it was freezing. It was rainy, wet, icy conditions -- about as cold as you could imagine without snow. Quincy was starting and it's early in the game, and Chad and Romo had whole ski masks on with just a little area for your eyes. We're getting ready to kick off, and Bill turns and looks, and he sees Chad. He says, 'I'll never put a quarterback in the game dressed like that.' As he's saying that to Chad, Tony's ripping his hat off his head, and the only evidence Tony was wearing one was the static cling that had his hair going straight up and down."
That's great.
good, not elite. started to decline after 1979 due to bad drafts. look at the points allowed in the Staubach NFC championship games vs. the White championship games. no comparison.Danny White's defenses were consistently elite. Romo's defenses have consistently been among the worst in franchise history.
I used to be a huge Romo fan. His was the last jersey I ever bought. But I soured on him these last few years.... not because of the big game gaffes. Because I'd always argue that Romo is/was the only thing that really kept us competitive. He's rarely had a 1k back. Rarely had a decent defense. If you ask your QB to carry your entire team all year, eventually he's gonna mess us. It was always just unfortunate that Tony did in on prime time for all the world to see.I can see your point of view, Middie.

And yes, he has fucked up. Being a perennial 8-8 team doesn't happen when the "franchise QB" is doing the right things. He has had a hand in a lot of that.
That is why I can't sit there and say he is great.
Fair enough. But even so, Romo has had very few "good" defenses in his career. Especially between 2010-2013, when Romo was having his most mediocre seasons.good, not elite. started to decline after 1979 due to bad drafts. look at the points allowed in the Staubach NFC championship games vs. the White championship games. no comparison.
