They look like a new team, but it's still early.
This is shameless but also highly amusing...
Let's see. On these boards:+ I picked the 05 Indians to win 92 and got laughed at. They won 93.+ I picked the 06 to miss the playoffs and got laughed at. They missed.+ I made calls in the gold market, people laughed at them, and they panned out.+ I noticed the Steelers were cursed, got laughed at, and they are 2-5 after losing to the Raiders.+ I was told by an admin I had no credibility for not seeing that Reggie Bush was greater than Gayle Sayers or Barry Sanders...If past history is any guide, drawing THIS much heat for ranking the Cowboys this high probably means the Cowboys will go deep into the playoffs lol. And that seems to be how it is. When people actually respect my views around here, I start to question them lol.

I'm very impressed with Romo. I think he's good. I also think he's benefitted from playing some mediocre teams, and also from the fact that opposing teams don't as of yet have a lot of game film on him. That said, he reminds me a lot of Rich Gannon circa 5-10 years ago, which is not a small compliment.
Dec. 3 should be interesting. I'd like to see a bad weather game to see what he can do on the road in a key game under adverse conditions.

He also went to Carolina in his first start and won handily. They were 4-3 at the time. Car, Was, and Ari were all road games - his first three starts. The Washington loss wasn't Romo's fault either. I'm not saying he's headed to the HOF, but the guy has gotten the job done. That's probably an understatement. If I can sum up the thoughts of Cowboys fans it's this - for the first time in a long time there is hope, and what fan doesn't want that?
it would be well.i think he's got "it" just a feelin. to me this season is over and we are just beginning. dallas may or may not make the playoffs, don't care. i think we have found a qb.dallas has a defense. now we just need to....put it all together. do we need to draft?fa?do nothing??romo era!!!! has begun!

Half of your gold calls have been wrong. You missed wildly on the Steelers last year. Basically you make 100 predictions, get 20 right, and then come back here and pleasure yourself. Usually I take the contraian BPG viewpoint and prosper.This is shameless but also highly amusing...

Eerilly reminiscent of some Chicago fans boasting threads early in the year. Don't fear anyone in the NFC? Forget to have some coffee with dessert today? The new thread is indicative of your faulted overconfidence. 4 games and Romo is the second coming of Roger and Aikman all rolled into one, eh? 
Even Harrington looked good today. The thing that is in the favor of the cowgirls are the injuries to the Giants and Philly though. I wouldn't be booking a hotel room in Miami just yet.

Romo didn't just look good today. He's looked good everyday, including big wins on the road. He has the best passer rating in the NFL since he became the starter. That doesn't make him the second coming of Roger already, but Roger never had a 5 TD game. I'm just saying. ETA: And Aikman's only 5 TD game had to go into OT first.Eerilly reminiscent of some Chicago fans boasting threads early in the year. Don't fear anyone in the NFC?

Liking Romo's style a lot. Looks a lot like Rich Gannon, as others have said. Also looks like what Jake Plummer was supposed to be.

Just sent the NFC a fax so they are now on notice. I didn't get a response yet but I'm guessing they are terrified.NJ OAK said:
.. just ask the Tuna!I wouldn't want a first year starter in the playoffs.
Like most, I think Vandy will lose them a playoff game. I'm so convinced of this theory it seems like a foregone conclusion.
I have never seen Parcells this patient or understanding with a K and have followed him since his Giant days. He has regularly been extremely critical of them, maybe moreso than any other position. This has all been very odd to me.

I think Carolina lost that game themselves, more than Romo helping win it. Carolina had the lead up to the 4th quarter, then made a series of turnovers, and just collapsed. It was one of the worse 4th quarter meltdowns I have seen this year. Romo has played well in the last few games whether they are against mediocre teams or not. It has certainly help build his confidence, and chalked up wins for the Cowboys.

I'll start by revealing my bias. I hate the Cowboys, as do all right thinking people. (Actaully I hate the Jerry Jones Cowboys, earlier incarnations I had respect for.) That said, I find Romo to be the real deal. Yes we have a relatively small sample size to work with, but he has, within that sample size, made hundreds of decisions, executing hundreds of times by first selling very well his play action, then going through his progressions, and finally delivering the ball. I have seen enough. The kid is good.
Granted, he played a great game yesterday, but two of the five TD passes could have easily been handoffs to Barber. That was a result of some kind play-calling.
That being said, I thought the Indy win was much more impressive than yesterday's game. In the second half of that game, Peyton Manning was the second-best quarterback on the field. Manning was stressed out and showing his nerves. Romo was calm, smiling and looked like he was playing a touch football game with some buddies.
I'm an Eagles fan, but I think that Dallas has a good one.

This might be the second time Drew Bledsoe sits on the sidelines as the young backup QB who replaced him wins the SuperBowl....

I was actually more impressed by the short TD throws than anything else.Inside the red zone there is no margin of error, whether it be TB or any other NFL team. To toss 4 TDs from inside the 10 yardline is extremely impressive to me, especially considering most of the TB CBs are facing/reading him in tight zone coverage.By contrast, Drews Bledsoe's last interception was on exactly that kind of play and he threw into triple coverage.Romo is the real deal. Believe it.In Parcells We Trust!

I think I read something about stashing the annoinment oil as of now. But if they keep playing at this level I can't see any team in the NFC East touching them.Playoffs? PLAYOFFS? We are just trying to win one game! ~ Coach Mora Sr.Lets wait a bit before the playoff predictions, but they will be a player.Im thinking It will be between them and Chicago.

temper that 'hope' with the fact that the Giants, under Coughlin, have been cowboy killers in recent years.swept them last year, won the first meeting this year..this is a Giants home game. Strahan will be back..Tiki's hand will be better by then..that stadium will be ROCKIN' for that game.a division foe coming to town with NFC East division title on the line? yeah, 78,000 people will make it hard for Dallas to win this one.in coughlin we trust..he's done well in division games the last few years..this will be Eli's much needed 'shot in the arm' game..I do like the way the 'Boys look lately, they've improved tremedously with Romo in there, but this might be a tough spot for them..

I'm thinking the season is over. Bears or Cowboys are really the only two choices. I'll be looking forward to the friendly banter between these two elite groups of fans.
Won't meet a bigger Cowboy hater than myself but I have to agree: Romo looks like the real deal. I still think that this was a top-tier team that Bledsoe was holding back so I'm not sure how good Romo really is yet, but that win against Indy was quality.

The most remarkable change IMHO between Bledsoe and Romo has not been the QB stats but rather the o-line stats. That team has gone from the 0-line looking like Swiss cheese to an o-line giving up IIRC less than one sack per game with Romo.
I figured at the time that Romo's mobility might assist them in that regard when Tuna made the switch, but I can't believe that it's made this much difference!

I've been very happy with Romo's play. I'm not saying they're going to win the Super Bowl, but I think anything less than the playoffs would be a huge disappointment for this team. For the first time since Aikman, the Cowboys have a QB their fans can really put their faith in.

it's a combination of marginally better o-line play, romo's mobility, and most importantly a qb that will get rid of the ball even if his receivers are somewhat covered and let them make a play on the ball. I haven't seen Romo hold the ball for 6+ seconds as bledsoe was prone to do.The most remarkable change IMHO between Bledsoe and Romo has not been the QB stats but rather the o-line stats.

Didn't Parcells elevate Drew Henson over Romo a couple years back? I know hindsight is 20/20. But I still wonder what would have happened if Bill could have let Romo play sooner.

If Parcells would have played Romo before he was ready, he probably would have ended up like Henson and all of the other QBs who saw playing time before they were ready. The real question is whether Romo could have been ready prior to this season. From how he looked in previous preseasons compared to how he looked this preseason, my guess is the timing on Romo was just right.
Which class is that? Great regular season-only quarterbacks? I disagree. Marino is there, too.I didn't include Peyton Manning because he's in a class by himself.

henson was all JJ, and BP didn't want to play him at all, but was forced to throw him out there after vinny got injured against the ravens in 2004, and just to please JJ and the fans for one game he started him, then quickly took him out at the half because he knew it wouldn't work. romo wasn't ready to play in 2004. reportedly he didn't know how to read defenses or know about hot reads coming from I-AA. and it was when vinny wasDonnybrook said:
there in 2004 that romo learned how to study and prepare. however in 2005 he was the backup, after he outplayed henson in the preseason. BP saw things in romo, he never saw anything in henson.
here's some interesting early romo articles from 2004, a lot has changed since he became the starter
but reading some of his comments, it's exactly the same as what he's saying now.http://cowboyszone.com/forums/showthread.p...ht=romo#post574

Tony Romo (and Carson Palmer, Tom Brady, and Ben Roethlisberger) are all testaments to the intelligence of leaving a more talented, but inexperienced, QB on the bench for a while.
That Drew Henson was thrown to the wolves ahead of Romo is not a reason to believe Romo lacks talent - you can SEE the spiral he throws (it is a beauty). And you can see the value of his time on the bench - good decision making.
