Joe Montana talks Cowboys: 'I think they played the way their quarterback played'

[Cythim]

What mistakes did Romo make? Running the play that was called? Throwing to people he should have known were going to fumble? Throwing passes he knows the WRs were going to tip into the DB's hands? Romo's mistakes have been minimal over the last two seasons. You are just throwing crap on the wall hoping something sticks.

7 INT's in 5 and a half games.

Last year he did a good job of limiting his turnovers and being fairly consistent.. i don't think its a coincidence we won our first playoff game and had such a good record.

Are you just looking at the box scores of those INTs or did you actually see how those INTs came about?

Are we really going to argue over how these turnovers came about or why they were turnovers..like it matters? Unreal.

Yes, nothing is ever Tony's fault, he's a diamond surrounded by trash, always has been, never had a good team around him and all these experts and hall of famers have no idea what they're talking about.

lol wow.

Yes it does! You just cannot look at a box score and see the number of INTs and jump to the conclusion that there were Romo's fault. Four of Romo's INTs were the result of them being tipped by the receiver(3) and by a defender (1). One other was due to a combination of Bennett's lack of effort on one pass play and the defender making a good play by jumping the route. It's apparent that like Montana, you didn't watch much of the fiorst 8 games. Thing is, despite Romo's INTs, he still kept the team in a position to win. I guess it was ROmo's fault for making Vince Young look like Steve Young.

I never said nothing is ever Romo's fault. Again with adding things to the conversation.

I said the team did not play as their QB played. If they had, they wouldn't have been 1-7.

And the fact that Joe Montana had a hall of fame pro career doesn't make him right. I'd bet money he didn't watch a single game. At best he caught highlights on Sportscenter.

Montana might be NFL royalty but he's simply trying to make a headline without much insight.

Listen to the former QBs who actually watch ALL THE GAMES when you want a real unbiased analysis of Romo.

I guess he chooses to forget how many catchable balls that ended up as INTs and that's fine for individuals who don't care to look deeper than the stat.

Sad thing is, for the ones defending Romo here, is that he probably agrees with Joe Montana. Or would at least publicly.

No QB worth a damn is gonna say his teammates let him down.

But no coach who has looked at the Cowboys game tape in 2010 would agree with Montana.

I'll blame Romo when it's warranted.

 

[sbk92]

Jesus, doesn't the fact that our running game and offensive line sucked this year kinda prove that what Joe is saying is bullshat?

And without Romo's TO's this season we may have won 3 more games. He kept us in a position to win, but also took us out of a position to win it with some of his throws.

Damn, i bet QB's around the league wish they had some of you guys as NFL officials.

NFL QB: "Well yes, i threw the ball and it got picked off but you see, i was being hurried, or my receiver didn't quite do the right thing.. even though i made the decision to throw it there."

DCU official: "Well that shouldn't really be your fault now then should it? We'll go ahead and take that INT off the books for you."

NFL QB: "Oh gee golly, thanks Mr."

 

[RoyTheHammer]

lol

Its pretty hilarious to sit here and listen to all you "know it alls" who assume that Joe hasn't watched all the games when you have no idea what you speak of. I'll give you all that at least. And the guys who think his comments are all based on just this season, and don't read the entire article to get the full sense of what he actually said, when in reality he's dead on. Tony has agreed actually. The bottom line is winning. Tony's been too inconsistent to take this team anywhere in the postseason so far, no matter how great of a QB he really is. Bottom line business.. you gotta win when it counts. He hasn't been able to do that yet.

Wrong again. So you're saying that that in order for the Cowboys to win, Romo has to play a mistake-free game no matter if a runjning game is non-existant and the defense is crap? OK. What three games we would have won? Please explain. Once again like a total fool you are basing this off of box scores and not by the game itself.

Now you're being stupid. No, correction: you're being even more stupid and you can do that on your own. If a receiver drops a pass and rulsed an incompletion, is that the QB's fault as well? Well the same principle applies to a tipped pass resulting in an INT. If the tipped ball was not INT, then it would be incomplete. Just dumb.

 

[RoyTheHammer]

Sigh.. its not that hard. Im saying exactly what Joe said, the QB's who win consistently, especially in the postseason are the ones who, even if they don't play particularly well every game, they still limit the number of bad games they have, and they don't make many mistakes.

Romo is still too inconsistent and still has too many bad games.. its one of the reasons we haven't done diddly with him in the postseason yet. Not the entire reason, but one of them. Its not that hard to understand really.
