Joe Theismann: Tony Romo doesn't understand how to be a quarterback

[Cr122]

The Cowboys have a bye week, but the Tony Romo bashing is still in vogue.

In the wake of Romo's turnover-laden second half in Dallas' collapse against Detroit, one writer compiled a list of six quarterbacks he believes would be better than Romo to quarterback America's Team.

Deion Sanders, an analyst for the NFL Network, offered his Prime Time opinion, saying Romo is not the QB to get the Cowboys to the Super Bowl.

Former Cowboys great Drew Pearson even chimed in on Dirk Nowitzki's support for Romo after the meltdown vs. Detroit.

Thursday, former Redskins quarterback Joe Theismann, an analyst for the NFL Network, ripped Romo on NFL.com's Dave Dameshek Football Program.

Theismann called Romo "average" and added that the Cowboys need to find a replacement.

"Tony Romo continues to do things to hurt his football team," Theismann said. "He doesn't understand how to play the quarterback position. Somebody had to say it, and I just said it. Tony, you have to start proving to everyone you understand football. You're doing things that Pop Warner kids would get benched for."

This will be Romo's opportunity to make everyone shut up.

I dont know about tony being average though, he's not a elite top 5 qb in the league but he sure isnt average. Joe Theismann is a moron

 

[superpunk]

Thats impossible, I was told he was still a good QB. I read it here on this forum.

If Joe thinks Romo is average what does he really think about Rex Gross ?

Hilarious, Joe threw one of if not the worst int in superbowl history that the skins couldn't recover from. It was a situational error u can't make.

He also said Jerry jones only drafted airman to sell tickets because the team wAs terrible and airman wouldn't work

Theisman also said the Cowboys were "an average team at best" and would "finish 8-8 because their defense was a problem"

That was preseason 1992. Of course we finished 13-3, had the leagues best defense and won the super bowl.

Hey Joe!

I bet if he said we were the best team in the league and Romo would lead us to victory in the Super Bowl everyone would be praising him.

I doubt it. Anyone who has watched football for the last 20 years and has had to listen to him understands he is pretty much a moron. And basically everything he says about Dallas is nonsense....

He has been saying romo is not good since the day he took over, meanwhile he picks the redskins to win the east every year and makes their players out to be amazing...

He is a goof, that is why he barely has a job covering the league....

But for me I find it hilarious him preaching about situational football when he threw the worst int in superbowl history outside of Neil odonnell.......
