Tony Freaking Romo ? (1 Viewer)

What is to become

of this nut ?

 

[wannabee]

he is 17 of 22 now. Romo is playing very well

 

[Jason Wood]

Mort said this week that Parcells wanted to really test Romo this preseason as he believes he's "ready" to be much more than a backup. Mort even suggested that Romo could see time this regular season if Bledsoe struggles, not simply as an injury replacement.

Jason, in the game thread, I have a partial interview w/ Jones who basically said Drew was the guy unless the OLine played horrible and they needed Romo's elusiveness

Hey wannabe, I don't doubt that for a second. But whereas I think most of us assumed the Cowboys chances took a major downturn if Bledsoe got injured, Romo's play and the coach's endorsement at least opens to door to the notion that Dallas could survive a Bledsoe injury and still contend for a playoff spot.

Agree. I was just surprised to hear of any circumstance where Bledsoe would be pulled for Romo

 

[Spiderman]

Tony Romo, EIU, EIU, GO EIU!!!

 

[Ozymandias]

I think the linebackers wanted to get a crack at his ribs.

Seriously though I hope this guy never starts because I start craving ribs whenever I hear his name.

 

[King of the Jungle]

Did he take any shots downfield? How is his arm strength?

He looked good. There were aleast three dropped drops that were right on target. He used his legs to get out of situations that could have easily been a sack. He's a Keeper.

 

[moondawg]

Alot of speculation the past week or so about Parcells plans for Romo. Jerry Jones is taking every chance he gets to say Bledsoe is the starter. However Parcells gets to make that call.

SEATTLE - About four questions into his post-game interview, Tony Romo could see out of the corner of his eye he was being watched.

And it wasn't by the hoard of reporters holding microphones and cameras.

No, Romo noticed head coach Bill Parcells sporting arguably his biggest smile of the night.

Parcells ordered Jason Witten to interrupt the media briefing and give Romo a short message.

"Tony, Coach said we're going to have to stay in Akron, because Canton is going to be full," Witten said to Romo, referring to the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

 

[King of the Jungle]

I have to say I am confused on what I am hearing/seeing.

-Romo playing the whole game.

-Parcells praising him.

-Rumors of Romo being traded.

-Rumors that Romo may replace Bledsoe at some point this year.

Definitely worth watching.

After his showing last night, only an idiot would trade him. Particularly when Bledsoe is 69 years old.

 

[fantasysavant]

I have a good friend who works for the Cowboys and he says that Romo is often called Brett during practice for pulling unusual plays out of his backside ala Favre.

During his first year with the Boys when absolutely no one knew who he was, some of the team's support staff had a flag football team and convinced romo to QB them for the first game. I don't remember the actual score, but my friend said that they killed the other team, who couldn't believe that this guy could find any small opening and deliver the ball there. The fear of injury and or being found out by Parcells ended the run.

Which of these do not belong?I've NEVER heard of trade rumor locally or at all for that matter only from somone on this board. The other three I've heard and/or seen myself.

 

[redman]

If Bledsoe's playing so poorly that he needs to be yanked and replaced by Tony Romo in the lineup, then that locker room will already be an inferno courtesy of TO.

He's a good prospect, but I just don't think that Cowboys fans can realistically want this to happen this year.

 

[teamramrod]

Last week I dropped Harrington and picked up Romo in my brand new Dynasty league.

AS A FREE AGENT

Sometimes even an idiot makes a good move

Hello redman, We have been screaming to see Romo for the last few years now. There's something different about him considering is still raw in the terms of experience. The coach is finally giving him a chance. The players have praised him, the owner, and the fans. I don't know what type of player he'll end up being, but there's something special with him.

 

[hornfan]

It's been very apparent, after watching the grooming of Romo over the last few years, that Parcells et al want this kid to be the heir. Mickey Spagnolo has been saying this for a LONG time now and it finally makes sense.

Ummm, Nall instead of Harrington would have been a good move )

I have no reason to question what you're saying - you're far more familiar with the day-to-day team developments as an avid fan of theirs than I am. I'm starting to think of him as the kind of "diamond in the rough" that Patrick Crayton is. The big picture problem that I see at work here, though, is this: this team has been built based upon the assumption that they can win a championship now, this year. That assumption is fed by the hidden and unacknowledged concurrent assumption that Parcells is not long for this job, and may even be coaching his final season. That's my read to be sure and it's not provable, but I do believe that that factor is at work. What they've done is bring in veterans like Bledsoe, Glenn, and TO in order to make that "final push", along with drafting some quality rookies (finally! I've been impressed with their last couple of drafts after a decade of sucking on draft day) but of course the effect is to play the vets over the rookies and to sacrifice the rookies' development. Crayton in particular is ready to play and shine as a WR2, but instead he'll by necessity be on the bench and underutilized as a WR3. I just sense that this is a team that has been hurredly thrown together in many ways - especially on offense - in order to capture what is perceived to be a closing window of opportunity that is built around Parcells' presence as coach. Jerry Jones has done this before - I remember a discussion in 1998 with friend of mine who was an avid Cowboys fan where I told him that the Cowboys were finished winning with their core of players and that they should trade away Aikman, Irvin and Emmitt for draft picks and rebuild given the way that the salary cap and free agency work in the league. While there's a time and place for loyalty to franchise players, I stand by that approach from a talent management and winning standpoint. Instead, the team kept those guys and tried - most famously through the Galloway trade - to "win now" with those players once again, but failed miserably. Were the Cowboys less concerned about winning this year, I think that guys like Crayton and Romo would be starting and getting important playing time and building the team around it's young but talented defense to win more in the future than they can at present with these veterans.

 

[TheGooRoo]

If you are/were a TO owner, would you rather have Romo or Bledsoe at the helm?

 

[QUEZILLA]

I just picked up Romo in another one of my leagues. Already had him in one, but after reading all the hype today, I decided to grab him in my other league. I don't think there is any other back-up in the league that has the opportunity to be a top 3 QB if the starter goes out.

I agree 100%, when they signed Elderado I figured he was just a hired gun (Galloway all over again). Which I believe is/was a mistake and they didn't address their bigest problem...............the OL.

 

[Jason Wood]

For what it's worth, Mort isn't letting this Romo story die. He was on ESPN radio (Doug Gotlieb's show) and echoed the same sentiment; that Romo is a serious threat to displace Bledsoe as early as this year.



I'll believe it when I see it.

 

[BigTex]

If you are/were a TO owner, would you rather have Romo or Bledsoe at the helm?

As a Elderado owner, it doesn't matter.................hell, I hate I ever drafted Elderado but what can you do when he's still on the board at the 4.10 spot.

This has been the big talk locally for about two weeks and don't be surprised if the sign Romo to an extension.

So now who has more dynasty value, Romo or Schaub?

 

[BigTex]

So now who has more dynasty value, Romo or Schaub?

I'd go with Romo (I've put the blue shades down) and here's why. Romo is either going to be a Cowboy or he won't be playing in the NFL. We don't know were Schaub is going to end up and along as Vick is putting butts in seats, it won't be in Atlanta. Bledsoe number is up, either sometime this year or after the season and if Romo continue to play at a respectable level then this will be his team.The Cowboys have a young and very good Def, their TEs, WRs, and RBs are young and will grow with Romo (considering all things being equal). Romo could end up in just as good of a situation as Matt Leinart. Consider that they sign J. Witten, T. Glenn and others long term. In other words this team can/will be together for years to come.

If Bledsoe leads a "succesful campaign" (however you define that - e.g., wins the division and gets the team to the conference championship game or Super Bowl), why wouldn't he be back next year? What's his cap number like? I personally believe that Bledsoe will either have to be injured for an extended period of time (decent possibility) or sucking eggs like nobody's business (less likely) for Romo to replace him in the lineup, and of course for that replacement to become permanent he'll have to perform well in his own right. I don't think Parcells is willing to suffer through a youngster at QB (never a popular thing with him anyway) in either his last or next to last season as a coach.

Interesting question.Talent wise, I give the nod to Schaub.But I think Romo may gethis shot to start sooner than MS.

Romo has a few more successful outings like last week & Bledsoe will be the backup.

I just love it when people see one good game, and predict a career. Romo had a very successful outing, in a preseason game, when no DC had done any work on him, and all players were rusty. He was impressive, delivering the ball on target.But remember Cade McNown? He started the first REGULAR season game for the Bears, and was the highest scoring qb in the league that week. By the end of the year he wasn't the starter any more, and two years later he was a career backup.

 

[Aaronl5]

Bledsoe is the starter

Romo is the backup

end of story

 

[Jeff Pasquino]

Sure Romo looked good, and I haven't watched the game yet, but seriously - wasn't he doing most of the work against the 2nd/3rd/4th teams from Seattle?

If he is on par or slightly above 2nd string, he SHOULD post good numbers against the weaker sisters of the opposition.

Game 1 of the preseason folks - don't get crazy. This was highly likely no more than a chance to evaluate Romo and see if he could step in for Bledsoe if he got hurt, nothing more. It also comes at a time where the Cowboys could go get another QB if Romo stunk the place up.

 

[Kleck]

Yes, and he put a stellar 13 points on the board. However, the touchdown did come against the first team defense. Also of note, the first team defense had him at 3rd and 24, but bailed him out with two procedural penalties on that drive. Another thing worth noting, while the first team defense was in the game he was picking on Herndon and Jennings. Didn't come close to throwing the ball to Trufant's side of the field. Seattle has issues across from Trufant. Their other starting cornerback is my number concern for Seattle.

Cowboys | Parcells does not expect a QB controversy

Published Mon Aug 14 11:01:00 p.m. ET 2006

(KFFL) Todd Archer, of the Dallas Morning News, reports Dallas Cowboys QB Drew Bledsoe has faced many challenges in his NFL career and now he faces potential competition from backup QB Tony Romo. "To be honest, I have no problem people talking up Tony, and he deserves to be talked about," Bledsoe said. "I think he has a long future in the league, but from my standpoint, I'm approaching this as I'm getting ready to play the season. And I'm doing everything I can to make sure that as the quarterback here I'm giving us the best chance to win the ballgame." Head coach Bill Parcells headed off talk of a quarterback controversy Monday, Aug. 14, by saying Bledsoe will start the Sept. 10 opener at Jacksonville, barring injury. Parcells did not say Bledsoe would start next week's preseason game at Shreveport, La., against New Orleans, but only because the coaching staff has not gone over the plan yet. Romo said he has thought about his future, especially w! ith the ongoing talks. "I want to be a Dallas Cowboy," Romo said. "I like it here. The organization has been great to me. I would love to say I spent all my years as a Dallas Cowboy and finish my career here. That would be a highlight."

I dumped Andrew Walter yesterdayfor Bruce Gradkowski, but I did consider Romo.I think BG has the most talent of the bunch from a dynasty perspective..

Romo could end up in just as good of a situation as Matt Leinart. Consider that they sign J. Witten, T. Glenn and others long term. In other words this team can/will be together for years to come.

If Bledsoe leads a "succesful campaign" (however you define that - e.g., wins the division and gets the team to the conference championship game or Super Bowl), why wouldn't he be back next year? What's his cap number like? I personally believe that Bledsoe will either have to be injured for an extended period of time (decent possibility) or sucking eggs like nobody's business (less likely) for Romo to replace him in the lineup, and of course for that replacement to become permanent he'll have to perform well in his own right. I don't think Parcells is willing to suffer through a youngster at QB (never a popular thing with him anyway) in either his last or next to last season as a coach.

Romo has a few more successful outings like last week & Bledsoe will be the backup.

I just love it when people see one good game, and predict a career. Romo had a very successful outing, in a preseason game, when no DC had done any work on him, and all players were rusty. He was impressive, delivering the ball on target.But remember Cade McNown? He started the first REGULAR season game for the Bears, and was the highest scoring qb in the league that week. By the end of the year he wasn't the starter any more, and two years later he was a career backup.

Where is Cade McNown now? Selling cars in...?

Nobody's squarely answered my original question . . .

I would go with Schaub. He's from got more proven experience in real game situations, he's bigger (6-5, 237 to Romo 6-2, 225), and he's from a bigger college. It adds up to more potential for success...Oh, plus I believe Vick will either get hurt again and will give Schaub a chance to show his value for other teams as his contract is up soon.
