Why is there such a witchhunt regarding Romo? (1 Viewer)

people in here only care about fantasy football..he implodes in December,especially during fantasy playoff weeks..usually involving a road game in Philly or NY or Washington, with the Cowboys losing 13-9 or something like that..

Romo is worse in December than Drew Brees is on the road..and that's pretty bad.

depending on your league's trade deadline, the best time to sell Romo is Black Friday, day after Thanksgiving. sell,sell,sell!!

 
Romo's pirouette of death was on full display last night in crunch time. By that I mean aimlessly doing a spin move in the pocket when it's totally unnecessary, coming out of it completely befuddled, because he's likely dizzy, and throwing away the game.

ESPN's Ed Werder confirms the Cowboys seem confident Tony Romo only suffered a muscle contusion during Monday night's loss to the Redskins.

Romo took a direct hit to the area where his back was twice surgically repaired, but that's not how you injure a disc. He'll have an MRI Tuesday morning to confirm that he just has a bruise near the site of the surgeries, leaving the main concerns as pain tolerance and functional ability. Romo is sure to be very sore this week and will likely need injections in the short-term to keep playing. He said late Monday night that since he was able to come back into Monday's game, he believes he'll be able to play against the Cardinals in Week 9.

So you think that looked like a typical Romo performance?

Fumbles, near interceptions at crucial times. Nah. Doesn't sound like a typical Romo performance at all.

If that is what you think then no amount of facts will change your opinion.

Suffice it to say that you couldn't be more wrong.

 
Rotoworld:

Speaking at Tuesday's presser, Cowboys coach Jason Garrett said Tony Romo's back injury is not related to the back issue that ended his 2013 season and required surgery.

"It appears to be a separate injury, not related to what he had last year," were Garrett's exact words. It's obviously encouraging news, but the Cowboys are still awaiting Romo's MRI results. It's not a slam dunk that he'll be ready for Week 9 despite returning to Monday's loss to the Redskins. We should have a much firmer idea of Romo's status 24 hours from now.

Rotoworld:

Ian Fitzsimmons of ESPN Radio in Dallas is "told" Tony Romo is "questionable at best" to play in Week 9 against the Cardinals after suffering a back injury in Monday night's loss to the Redskins.

Romo was in so much pain Monday night that he is likely very sore early this week, and could miss all three Cowboys practices. Per Fitzimmsons, Romo's "season is not in jeopardy," but missing Week 9 is a real possibility. The Cowboys are 6-2 and can't afford to a setback that would cost their quarterback significant time. If Romo were unable to go, the Cowboys would start Brandon Weeden and likely ride their already high-volume running game relentlessly. We'll have updates on Romo's outlook throughout the week.

Rotoworld:

Jerry Jones said Tony Romo's Week 9 status will be based on "pain tolerance," and Romo could be a "game-time decision."
Early Wednesday, ESPN's Ed Werder passed along an "emerging possibility" that Romo "will miss time," perhaps 1-2 games. At this point, the Cowboys don't know if Romo will be available to play against the Cardinals. We'd consider Romo very likely to sit out all of the practice week, with Brandon Weeden taking the first-team reps. Fantasy owners should have quarterback alternatives in place. The 6-2 Cowboys can't afford to take chances with Romo.

Rotoworld:

Tony Romo (back) is listed as questionable for Week 9 versus Arizona.

He missed a third straight practice on Friday. The fact that playcaller Scott Linehan sounded pessimistic about Romo's chances of playing after practice indicates Romo is on the doubtful side of his "Q" tag, but the Cowboys claim the decision will go down to game time. Regardless of which quarterback is under center, expect Dallas to lean heavily on its rushing attack against the Cards.

Inactive lists are typically released by 11:30am for 1:00 games, correct?

I have a kid's birthday party to attend and it will be hard to change lineups after 12:00 or so. :wall:

 
How can he play? So annoying. I need Weeden but need to make a ####in baked ziti for my wife to bring somewhere. Gonna be tough to pay attention to the lists.

If he is active do you start him? If he plays he could leave in the middle of the game if he takes the wrong hit.

I'm a little surprised there hasn't been more discussion about the implications of Romo having 2 fractures in his back. So they're minor and Bryce Petty had this issue and is "fine." Petty must be like 20-21 years old. Romo has had 2 prior back surgeries. Where's all this going?

It's not good at all. 2 fractures in your back after already having multiple back surgeries, while playing qb in the NFL is not good.

Boil noodles. Add noodles, sauce, and cheese to baking dish. Insert in oven. Do this all now.

Watch ESPN from now until noon. Whenever your wife needs the ziti, turn oven on about an hour prior.

I did it today too. Not much prep, it's all simmering time.

Not that it matters, I just like the idea of continuing to hijack the Romo thread with baked ziti talk. :lol:

 
I have a bad feeling about Romo starting this week. Not sure if he lasts the game or if plays well. Maybe it's a short term injury - and maybe it is - but Jerruh might be banking his whole season on Romo staying healthy yet pushing him out there. That went really badly vs the Redskins.

FF-wise I don't see Romo as a good start at all right now. If he goes off so be it but it's a risk.

I will be very surprised if Jacksonville does not copy what the Redskins did 2 weeks ago to Romo. Basically blitz a lot and make Romo beat them covering the WR's one on one. I assume Dallas will be more prepared for this and may get some big plays from quick slants to the WR's and screens to the RB's.

You're right, this could be bad for Witten's numbers actually if he stays in to block...

ESPN had a highlight that I saw that said that Jacksonville had the lowest % of blitzes all year, so I don't think they will blitz a lot. In the same chart they mentioned they were decent in terms of sacks, but low blitzing. I know little about the Jax DL, so I assume they must have a decent front 4 in terms of pressure, so Witten may not stay in a lot. He's my backup to Gronk in the league I have him, so hopefully he doesn't stay in the block!

I'm benching Witten on this assumption. He's been pretty tepid all year as a fantasy option anyway. And I have Romo on my bench. But backing up Rodgers now after his bye week, I am starting to wonder if I even need Romo on my roster anymore. I don't think I can trust him push come to shove.

They will go 'max-protect' as JAX rushes the passer well. That means Witten will end up blocking a lot but the WR's will be one on one

against some really bad DB's. This bodes well for the DAL WR's as long as Romo can get the pass off, should be interesting.

 
Rotoworld:

Tony Romo completed 18-of-29 passes for 199 yards with two interceptions in Thursday night's Week 13 loss to the Eagles.
Romo struggled to move the offense despite a matchup with an Eagles defense that allowed 345 yards to Zach Mettenberger last week. Both of his interceptions came on bad underthrows, and he had a third pick overturned by defensive holding. Romo finished without a touchdown for just the first time in 38 games. He's on pace for 3,624 yards with and a 29:11 TD/INT ratio this season. Romo will be a back-end QB1 against Chicago's bottom-five secondary in Week 14.

This is why Romo has never been, and never will be, an elite QB. Biggest game of the year, against one of the worst defenses in the league, and he lays an egg. Brutal to watch.

That's why I vowed never to draft him again. He'll look great for a stretch, earn your trust, then lets you down when you need him most. He's got great skills, and this year he has arguably the best supporting cast he's ever had, but at his core he's a loser and always will be. If by some miracle he ever found himself in the Super Bowl, he'd throw up all over the place like McNabb, then probably cry. He's like a little girl.

I think the fact buck or ail an mentioned the fact that he loves to golf is a big red flag...it is known he does but at his age and what he does for a living...golf is not something he should do back wise....I haven't heard that Peyton, Bree's, Rodgers golf and I may be wrong but tiger woods is enough to know it isn't good on ur back...I know nothing about golf so if anyone could take this further I welcome it...

 
Unless he started up again, they said on one of the telecasts a few weeks back that he no longer golfs during the season.
