Boys vs Da Bearz...

To anwser your question, the problem doesn't lie with Romo, has he cost the team some games, yes, but not nearly as many as he has won us on his own.

I believe that to be the dumbest thing I have ever read you post in this forum.

A pure pocket passer like Aikman, would have a short lived career playing with the 2004-2012 Cowboys teams. Hell look what happened to Drew while he was here with Parcells. I feel that the days of huge offensive lineman pass blocking are a thing of the past. There are very few teams still playing that type of offensive scheme, the defense has adapted.

I agree with all of that. But it still begs the question is the team the problem with Romo? Has it always been? Just an interesting perspective I've been indulging lately.

Its always been the defense and the o-line. ALWAYS!!!


I am not joking either.

lmao!

Football is a team sport, regardless of what anyone will tell you. The defense has usually let us down more times than not. The offenseive line has always sucked and he has to improvise these types of plays that lead to large chunks of yards down the field. His stats are off the charts, thats why its hard to hold him soley responsible for the team(s) lack of success.

Defending Romo on this board is like Defending Obama. You wont win.

I'm a huge fan of Romo, he is 2nd tier qb. Qb's are human, they make mistakes. The only reason people hate him is because he's a Cowboy but that it usually goes.

He's had his share of screw ups but he is not the main reason why the Cowboys haven't had any post season success.

I've found defending Romo against the onslaught of naysayers at my office is really enjoyable.

lmao!

or is it more likely that the team under him just isn't capable?

That fucking Jerry Jones/Papa John's rap commercial is the worst thing on TV in the history of ever.

LOL! so true. It is so funny though.

I've found defending Romo against the onslaught of naysayers at my office is really enjoyable. I just find it too peculiar that Romo's stats are just so good, yet his performance is so poor. Are we really to believe that out of all the previous quarterbacks in history this one guy just happens to be an anomaly, or is it more likely that the team under him just isn't capable? Has anyone here ever considered that?

I'm just an extremely logical fact based guy, I always resort to numbers when I'm making a decision. And I just find dismissing romo as counter-intuitive to the numbers. I just don't get it.

[Rick Modena]

His stats are legendary, if we had won a SB or two he would be regarded as one of the best to ever play the game. Unfortunatly his individual stats dont mean shit if the team hasn't won anything yet. In Cowboy land he has most of the records os in the top three in most of the QB stats.

And no i don't have the ESPN article, I don't surf ESPN on my CPU it is full of bullshit and takes forever to load and all those annoying banner ads are the suck, reminds me of Canada, but worse.

[Mach1]

Does anyone have that article written recently about Romo and his stats? I think it was written on espn, talking about how his stats are so good despite his performance.

edit: nm found it.

No shit.

I am sure he could not pass up the check for them to become the pizza sponser for the Cowboys. Just hopes he spends it on the O line and another receiver or two.

please leave the thread

Are you fucking retarded? I mean, really. Do you not know how endorsements work?

Like when his dumbass said a few weeks ago after the Angels blew out the Rangers' assholes that they would sneak into the playoffs in a wild card spot and run the table.

Exactly. He always hovers over the safe bets, but sometimes it kicks him in the ass. The thing that really annoys the piss out of me with him is how big a Lebron James and Tom Brady nut hugger he is. Sometimes I have to change the channel.
