I'm not comparing Romo to Sanchez , you guys are which is ludicrous . I didn't bring up Romo in this thread. And what good backs ? Murray missed most of the year and felix jones sucks , Austin is never on the field , he has Dez and Witten and that's why he threw for 4,900 yards 28 TDs The biggest myth is the talent myth . Our o line is patchwork and our D line is non existent , Jerry is a horrible GM focusing on skill positions only
Romo's career is far from over and you do not get rid of the 4th highest rated QB in nfl history before giving him more help defensively . It always seems the offense has to score 30+ points for us to win in any meaningful game Please feel free to list the better available options .....
AVAILABLE options, you're probably right. Guys like Manning only become available about as often as the planets align. If THAT is the reason to stick with Romo, then so be it. Hard to gauge whether you wanted to stick with him because you thought he was that damn good or whether there just isn't a lot available out there that wouldn't be a lateral move at best. Just strikes me as odd that as up and down Romo tends to be, the Cowboys haven't done a whole lot about it in the draft.
Murray played in 10 games and averaged 4.1 YPC, more than any of our primary backs. Miles Austn started 15 games Your talent is good right now, a few years ago it was among the best in the league.
That should tell you all you need to know about QB ratings(and he's 5th not 4th) it was the D that blew the game the other night? he led his O to 3 pts in his last playoff game, that's all on the D? in that NYG playoff loss it certainly wasn't the D in 4 playoff games he has led his O to less than 17 pts in 2 of them, and more than 17 in 1 of them.
exactly. Sanchez has gone farther with less,i would love to see what he could do with those weapons(compared to romo,anyway). Romo is great,if youre a between the 20s goal kinda fan. But he can never punch it in
I did not say it was the D that blew the game I said it was a team loss , the int at the end prevented the cowboys from winning but the 200 yards by a rookie RB and 3 TDs was a bigger contributor to the loss. Romo has every Dallas record for Tds..., look I don't care, feel free to to have any opinion you want about romo . I am not answering any more romo post, feel free to come to a cowboys forum and debate it. I am sticking to tebow and sanchez here because it is what is relevant. Ill discuss cowboys if you want but I am not debating Romo , its silly. There are no other options that are better there just aren't.
Jerry is a bad football GM , keep i n mind that Cowboys had a decade of ZERO playoff victories before Romo showed up . That's all you need to know.
All that tells me is that even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in a while. Doesn't mean he's good. Romo has been in the league... how many years now? And all we have to show for it is ONE playoff win? Broncos went through something similar after the Super Bowl years when Jake Plummer got them a win once. Actually, his win/loss record as a Bronco was pretty good, but that didn't stop them from going after Cutler. Lot of people weren't sold on Plummer after that 13-3 season either, so what makes Romo anything special? Do the cowboys latch on to that ONE playoff win and hope they can repeat even THAT in the next few years, or do they try to pull something in the draft and bring in a good one? I can kinda see the consistency between Romo's playoff win and the way some of you seem to think Tebow getting lucky against the Steelers should have pretty much made his career.
wash only scored 21 pts before the final tack on TD. they lost mostly b/c their QB couldn't execute. Romo took over in 2006. The playoff drought came after a DYNASTY and they fell on some hard times. They were a playoff team in 2006, they have been a playoff caliber team every year since and have only ONE playoff win to show for it.
Your right its all romo's fault. Orton should have started the game or perhaps drew bledsoe should have stayed the starter. I am arguing with someone who worships sanchez. My bad.
I am still waiting for your list of better available QBs that Dallas should sign. This is why he starts until you find someone better (not sure if that constitutes 'special") for all his "choking" he is as efficient as Peyton Manning. NFL Career Passer Rating Leaders Rank Player (age), Rate 1. Aaron Rodgers (28) 104.9 2005-2012 2. Steve Young+ 96.8 1985-1999 3. Tom Brady (34) 96.6 2000-2012 4. Peyton Manning (35) 95.7 1998-2012 5. Tony Romo (31) 95.6 2004-2012
I didn't say it was all his fault but you can't win in january in this league w/ poor QB play and that has held them back in big games. This is EXACTLY why we don't evaluate QBs based on QB ratings.
I can't defend Mark for this season but he didn't have Witten, Austin, Bryant, etc... to throw the ball to. I can only imagine what Tony's rating and record would look like if he had our healthy weapons this year. Put Sanchez on dallas 2006-2012 and you would have made a SB.
Sanchez is horrible .Put Romo on the jets with your defense and it's multiple rings. I agree that if Romo plays lights out 14 out of 16 games and one of the two games he sucked was in an elimination game it's just not going to work. The problem is there literally is no other option. It's almost impossible to find a QB that throws for almost 5000 yards every year , it's better to work with him and improve the defense , so maybe just maybe we get over the hump. Yes of course I would take RG3 or luck or even Russel Wilson in a heartbeat but that's not in the cards. cousins and Foles gives me hope we can draft Romo's successor but all Jerry wants to draft is injury prone running backs, diva receivers or smallish corners. ( smith being the exception but he's not that good ) Ware fell out of the sky for Jerry. Jerry ignores o line almost every year because Romo is so mobile that has led to punctured lungs , broken ribs , shattered clavicles .....I don't think people realize how tough Romo is and the beating he takes . It's not an excuse it's reality. Last year Romo handed our defense 5.......FIVE ...... Double digit leads in the 4th quarter that the defense blew . This year we were down in ALL 16 games , Romo had to play lights out just to get us to an elimination game to then...... Choke
Yeah the fact that we were already losing has no relevance. Romo's pick prevented us from wining the game Morris running for 200 yards and 3 TDs lost the game. It was a team choke.
:rofl::rofl: he couldn't win w/ more talent in a weaker conference(at the time) but he'd have multiple rings here? 28 TDs and 19 INTs is lights out? I gues Sanchez was lights out last year w/ 26 and 18 leading the Jets to the same # of wins. I guess lights out is 28 & 19, going 8-8 and beating one playoff bound team? blame your D all you want, our D in 2010 blew 4 double digit leads and we won 3 of those games b/c Sanchez made plays late in games to win.
