Describe the moment you lost faith in Romo

[Midswat]

When Romo leaves, this team will flounder just like it did when Aikman left.

I you trust this front office to find a Qb, you're retarded.

 

[Sheik]

It was a FG, not an extra point, not that it matters much.

And if you read a game thread while the team is playing, nobody likes interceptions, nobody likes losing.

The difference is some of us know interceptions happen late in games when you're in obvious passing situations, trying to win a game.

Theres only one QB god IMO, and he didn't win a Super Bowl either. At some point you have to evaluate a guy based on his ability, not the teams ability to put together a total effort when it matters.

 

[Sheik]

Aikman wouldn't even be a HOFer of he played for the same teams Romo has.

Digest that.

He wouldn't have survived his first contract.

what are we doing now? thriving? Romo's talent makes games "exciting" and watchable, but if he leaves without winning anything significant, I won't miss him when he's gone. the Kyle Ortons of the world can just as easily steer us to 8-8.

....so you think Kyle Orton and romo are equals

Bbgun, you think this team the last 3 years is talented enough to win 8 games with just any QB?

 

[bbgun]

....so you think Kyle Orton and romo are equals

no, Tony is the better overall QB (duh), but thanks to Orton's height and arm strength, there were many throws in the Eagles game that Tony could only dream of making

not just any QB, but a seasoned vet like Orton who has started for other teams? yes.

Different eras, different schemes, different mores.

 

[Sheik]

Maybe I'm too hard on the team. Last year was the first year since 2007 that I seen the offensive line play well. They've been terrible since the 2008 season.

The defense has been hard to watch since as long as I can remember. They let any QB drive his team down the field with 3 minutes left, every week it seems.

I just see a team with a handful of aging names and piss poor talent throughout the rest of the roster. That's always been my stance on judging the QB. I've seen him play as well as anyone in spots, but I've never seen him on a team that you could say had the stars aligned, so to speak, except for maybe 2007, and we were a lazy route(Patrick Crayton iirc)away from probably rolling to a Super Bowl appearance that year.

I get why people are down on him, I understand it too. But I don't agree with it.

I think you'll get your chance to find out here shortly. Except for Witten, you'll probably get your journeyman backup QB here when his back goes out. I expect that to happen anytime.

Me too and I hope it is early in camp so we don't waste too much time with him.

You think Aikman would have better mobility in another life?

Aikman got knocked around a lot early, but you put a less than nimble QB behind some of the lines Romo has had in front of him, Aikman wouldn't last long.

I'd bet on Aikman not lasting in Romo's exact situation, with exact set of circumstances. Not past year 3 or 4.

well, with Orton gone, I can't test my theory anymore. no one expects Weeden to guide us to .500 if Romo goes down.

 

[Sheik]

At least we'd have a top 5 pick to replace him.

 

[Sheik]

I think if it happened early enough, they'd almost have to bring in a better option. Garrett isn't going down without a fight.

Or maybe his plan is built in excuses, so maybe they stand pat with Weeden.

If a bad qb like Kyle Orton can steer this team to 8-8 you must think highly of the cowboys roster

Hes thrown 83 td's to 59 picks in his career. At least one of those a choke with THe game On The line .

That's always worked for Romo so why not?

Aikman never had a first round pick in any of his lines. Never, not even one.

why can't an average QB steer the team to an average record? Orton can't move around like Tony, but with a wealth of weapons at wideout, a healthy Murray, an eternally youthful Witten, and a rapidly improving o-line, it's plausible that Orton could have put up enough points each week to get us close to .500. the X factor is the horrific defense. as Tony found out time and again, sometimes 30 points ain't enough.
