Has Romo become a spot fantasy starter? (1 Viewer)

[Deranged Hermit]

Three bad games in a row and counting. He has a great match up next week, but I can't bring myself to start him anymore.

I'm sick of seeing Garrard putting up points from my bench.

 

[two_dollars]

Romo was on my "do not draft" list. He's a bye week filler at best.

 

[jobarules]

Not sure my Romo thread was locked. The guy looks absolutely dreadful, overthrowing WRs, getting his WRs killed, looking gunshy. The guy looks terrible. I dont own him so I honestly dont care.

He was on mine too. I just couldn't bring myself pass on his 'value' as the 10th QB drafted in my league though.

 

[LordHusker]

Two weeks in a row without a TD pass. Fantasy teams everywhere suffering because of it.

 

[jrock]

I watched the whole game. He looked scared to throw the ball b/c he knew he couldn't make the passes. I think Dallas needs to start looking at other options for QB b/c this guy looks done. You add his current terrible play to the fact the he has a track record for choking late in the season and there's not much value there.

 

[LordHusker]

I agree he looked bad today. Another problem for Dallas is that they don't have a speedster receiver who stretches the field.

 

[Bankerguy]

There are many problems. Too many to list.

 

[twistd]

His biggest problem is accuracy. He was really off on many of his throws. He isn't being helped by his receiving core. Roy Williams just looks slow. None of his receivers are getting much separation except Witten. He is being also hurt by the offensive line. Witten is being kept in to chip on pass rushers. So their best receiver is not even out in the pattern much of the time. On the last play of the game Witten wasn't even in the pattern, he was chipping on the end. I think they are going to struggle with their passing game all year.

 

[scrumptrulescent]

So is Brees going to get one of these threads soon too? 2 weeks in a row the 1st QB taken in the majority of drafts has laid a turd, yet there's a thread on the 10th QB taken?

Keep on counting..........I wouldn't let him sniff my starting line-up (that is if he was even on any of my teams).....Romo flat out stinks up the joint and he doesn't need any help to prove it from a poor OL or slow as molasses, no-talent WR's either. If you've got him on your fantasy team, he should be dealt to the league Cowbys fan for whatever you can get for him......and I mean ANYTHING. If you can't unload him through a trade, just drop him. His rear-end deserves to be riding the pine in real life and in fantasy.

2 pretty dismal outings in a row. Not horrendous, just very poor, no scores, a pick, a slew of bad decisions, hospital balls that are getting his receivers leveleled, he cant even find Witten for a few good gains anymore.



Everyone claims the Broncos D is all that, but was it? or was the Cowboy's O just plain poor? Is it the gameplan? What happened to the kid? Where's the texas swagger and QB flair, the Bratt Favre recklesness (I'll take interceptions if theey're outnumberedd by TDs). Is Roy Williams' injury going ot have any impact or is that irrelevant (like the player himself)?

:X

I'm still waiting for some kind of reaction of pride from Romo. Hopefully KC will oblige but he better hurry up because at this rate, Jerry Jones is going to be coming down from his luxury box to huff and puff along the sidelines at the next home game, like he did with Drew Bledsoe a few years back. Who's Romo's backup anyway?

 

[Brutis]

He'll do fine next week against the Chiefs and every other junk team he faces. Just dont count on him against any of the good teams.

Romo beats up the crap teams and plays like crap against the better teams.

Kitna is the backup. I'm Cowboy fan living in Detroit and the thought of seeing Kitna to Roy Williams in Dallas is a freaken joke really. Romo versus average and poor defenses is a good fantasy start, but he's not a must start against any defense like he was a couple years ago and the beginning of last year. He's lost his deep threat and he's also lost some of his confidence. More than likely, if you have Romo on your team, you overpaid for him.

He's forked

 

[Biabreakable]

I still like Romo. But fact is without TO or some other dominant WR his numbers will not be that good. Good enough at times but overall best you can hope for is average performance that wont cost u the game.

He cost me yesterday with all those turnovers.

 

[lod01]

I would bet that the problem with Romo is that he doesn't study game film like the best QB's. He's too busy working on his golf swing.

Whereas a turd like Russell can't digest game film, Romo can, he's just t busy doing other things.

 

[loose circuits]

have him in a salary cap league where he was a free agent (cause QB's are expensive). Gonna start him against the Chiefs, then start looking for other options. This thread convinced me he's still a safe start against weak teams. He should pad his stats a bit

 

[PahtyTom]

Probably throws for 4 TDs Sunday. No, really.

 

[The Kansas Comet]

Romo has definitely become a matchup start for me. I've got Flacco and don't plan on letting Romo see my lineup unless he's playing a scrub defense. His receivers are average at best, his o-line is good for run blocking but not the best at protection, and Romo looks like he has happy feet in the pocket. Wish I had sold high on him after the first two weeks.

 

[THE UNDERCOVER BROTHA]

would yall take Warner in dynasty for ROMO?

i mean it has to be getting close to end of the road for Warner but he should put up way better numbers than Romo with the weapons he has.

I'm not sure the Cowboy's fan would bite on that trade. I don't have him in fantasy, but I have 2 Cowboy fans at work who were b*ching up a storm about Romo today. I jokingly said that we (Bronco fans) would gladly trade Orton to them for Romo. Both Cowboy fans actually paused and thought about it. I know 2 Cowboy fans in Colorado is a very small sample, but I don't think many Cowboy fans are too happy with Romo right now, I'm not sure you could get any of them to bite.

 

[Corey's Carnage]

Listened to him after the Denver game (who is an underrated team, I think) and he talked about going back to the drawing board. So hopefully he will get it figured out, as his mechanics have somehow gone downhill the last few weeks.

As it is now, I picked up Gerard and he's doing well for me until Romo gets his act together.

This is pure conjecture. You have no idea what Romo does with his life, or how dedicated he is to the game. You sound really ignorant here, guy.

 

[raidersfan]

Bump for the bye week to discuss..are Romo owners trying to sell after that nice outing against KC? Miles Austin had him looking like a decent QB again, padding Romo's stats with those long yards after the catch. But there were also two potentional TD's dropped by Austin, so his day could have been a lot better.

I'm thinking of moving him for a Hasselback or Eli Manning type, or is Romo back?

Would love to hear from other Romo owners.

 

[jobarules]

Why the hell would someone give you Hasslebeck or Eli for Romo?

 

[Bankerguy]

Not a Romo owner.

I would expect the bye week to help them figure out some pass protection and get Witten more involved in the offense and not stuck blocking. Austin will likely take Crayton's place in 2 WR sets.

Well smart guy - because not everyone thinks like you. I just traded Eli FOR Romo.I have Flacco also and between Flacco and Eli, there wasn't much difference between the two in terms of production. Both are pretty consistent, but likely not going to put up a huge game for you. Romo on the other hand is more inconsistent but also is capable of a 300+yd game with 3-4 TDs. I personally think you'll see Romo start to turn things around and have some very big fantasy games.

 

[raidersfan]

package deal..I was offered Eli/Bowe for Romo/Sims WalkerI just feel if Romo does turn that corner and the Cowboys get their ##### together, he could still be top 5 and not sure if Eli could do that. Hass, he's been there before and can do it.

My trade was a package too. I traded Eli and Ladell Betts for Romo and Jamal Lewis (who'll be a bye-week filler at best).

This is kind of how I was thinking..Romo still has the potential to have those huge games, as does Hass. The other guys (Eli/Garrard/Flacco etc seem to be stuck in the QB 10ish range - consistent but boring).

Well then you really didnt trade Eli FOR Romo. You took a small hit at QB and got a much better RB in return

It was for Romo on my end. Betts/Lewis? Doesn't matter. Either is riding on the pine. Betts has a lot more upside than Lewis does so I kind of feel like I lost a little on that part of the trade. If Portis were to go down, he's shown he can produce at a high level. Lewis...not so much.
