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

[jurb26]

I'm no Romo defender but yesterday was about the Dal oline getting dominated. Romo handles pressure extremely poorly, bit his oline was brutal.

 

[Reegus]

All this clown will be remembered for is his botched field goal hold. Terrible quarterback.

 

[buck naked]

Or it was a tough division game against a very good team on a very short week?

You guys are as bad as the media.

Good game Eagles fans.

A short week and the Eagles defense do not account for the horrible short throws and weak lollipops he was throwing. He looked finished yesterday.

Actually it does on most of them. I'm sure you watched the game, so a lot of those lollipops were made under duress and he couldn't get enough on them.

 

[McGarnicle]

Hopefully they give Weeden a chance. Not fair to throw the other 52 guys under the bus out of stubbornness to keep a washed-up QB in there.

 

[Manster]

you guys are hilarious! Romo has looked solid almost every game this season. He has one game where he's getting consistently harassed and hes washed up? Bring in Weeden? Laughable! I hope you guys are being sarcastic.

And I'm not a Romo apologist, or whatever. I simply understand that he is our only chance to do anything this season. It was a short week and Dallas got outplayed, period......Romo looked GREAT against the giants in NY last Sunday night. He also beat the hawks in Seattle.

How about instead of trashing just Romo, we look at the O-line and the defense. That's why we lost. Our O-line played poorly against a mediocre eagles defense. We've got some young guys on a talented O-line. They will get beat now and again. I think people expect them to be a dominant unit every week. Lets be realistic folks.

Overreact much?

I came in here looking for fantasy relevant discussion about Romo and instead I ended up in a Yahoo fan forum.

look pal, you aint gonna find any relevant FF info in Romo threads. You should know that by now. I come in here to laugh at the overreaction of NFL fans. Anyone who thinks Weeden gives the Cowboys a better shot is crazy. Unless Romo's back gives out, he's our best shot.

 

[McGarnicle]

You know the wheels come off every year around this time and they have zero chance of winning a championship with Romo. Obviously they won't make the move to Weeden barring injury, but anything's better than the guaranteed death spriral Romo gives you.

 

[need2know]

As an eagles fan I look forward to several more meetings with romo

 

[CR69]

Where were all of you Romo haters after the Giants game? The ones calling for Weeden are obvious trolls because he was ridiculously bad against the Cardinals.

The Cowboys played an Eagles team who is actually good at stopping the run but has a very soft secondary. So what do the Cowboys do? Run the ball on almost every first down, do very poor in pass blocking and make terrible mistakes like church taking Harris out on the point return. Watch the game, stop parroting ESPN.

[Chaka]

[SIZE=14.2857141494751px]Guy is playing with broken bones in his back and when his team (his 8-4 team) loses people kill him.[/SIZE]

I didn't see Romo playing any defense as Mark Sanchez (MARK SANCHEZ) was putting up 33 points on Dallas. I didn't see him on the offensive line failing to pick up Phili defenders on when he was sacked four times and hit numerous others. Wha's wrong with this guy? What a schlub.

 

[Ghost Rider]

Where were all of you Romo haters after the Giants game?

They were the ones saying anyone could have done what he did behind that line.

In other words, when the line plays well and Romo does well, all credit goes to the line.

When the line plays poorly and Romo struggles, it's because Romo sucks.

It's comical.

I am not a big Romo fan, but the #### this guy has to eat from critics is just hilarious.

 

[Raider Nation]

So this INT was the offensive line's fault, was it?

 

[Ghost Rider]

OMG, an NFL QB threw a bad INT. Someone alert the media!!

 

[Raider Nation]

OMG, an NFL QB threw a bad INT. Someone alert the media!!

I think we need a stronger adjective than "bad" for that pass.

 

[Chaka]

Whatever. People act like he is the only QB to ever put up a duck.

Again, I agree with some of the premise but this guy gets held to a much higher standard then pretty much any other QB.

I couldn't have said it better myself.

Good post. I couldn't have said it better myself.

As a Cowboys fan, I've been a Romo supporter and critic. No doubt he's made some big mistakes. But he's also had some incredible games and moments. A couple that come to mind are this season, when JJ Watt had a clean shot on him, he sensed it, got out of it and threw a TD......Incredible play. The game against SF when he had a broken rib, punctured lung, and came back in, and led the Cowboys to victory is a game I will always remember.

Overall, I think he's been a solid QB, who has played on Cowboys teams who were always missing something. Whether it be O-line, defense, coaching, whatever. This falls on the GM. Now, he has an solid O-line, albeit, a young one that will make mistakes. See yesterday's game, and the skins game. To me, Garrett still gets outcoached, and has a hard time adjusting during games.

 

[Raider Nation]

To me, Garrett still gets outcoached, and has a hard time adjusting during games.

I'm curious what adjustments you think he should have made. Two in-line TEs all game to protect Romo and run the ball more? Murray had 20 carries as it is. And unless they could ship in Seattle's defense after the 1st Q, none of it would have mattered. Philly's offense did whatever they felt like doing.

 

[Manster]

Im not referring to just yesterday. Garrett hasn't been the best gameday coach. This is common knowledge.

The defense is young and has holes, no doubt. They will be exposed, especially when the offense struggles.

Where is the Peyton Manning choker thread?

You have to actually play in a Championship Game to raise your status to choker.

Romo is simply the most over hyped QB the league has ever seen. Much of it stems from his rise from seemingly nowhere as he displayed flashes of brilliance.

The problem is the media keeps pushing this Cinderella narrative on top of the entitled Dallas Cowboy Quarterback lineage down our throats for nine years. He simply is not a great quarterback. He is a good QB but not a great one and until he is on a great team he will never win even a playoff game.

He has accomplished absolutely nothing of merit in his career and he is never taken to task. It is always his bad OL, or his bad D.

People accept Eli or Flacco for what they are, inconsistent QBs, but Romo fans somehow cannot accept this fact about him.

Wow. You know, if you could get outa your own way, you might make a decent point.

You see, most of us "Romo fans" understand the score. We know about the failures. We've been watching. Most Cowboys haters have blinders on, just like the casual fans that I assume you are referring to........If you'd actually read or listen you'd realize that most of us are assessing the situation realistically. You just hate the Cowboys and want to spout off about them whenever you can. Its ok, I understand. I've been dealing with Cowboys haters as long as I can remember.

One thing you are dead wrong about is Romo not being taken to task. He is prolly the most criticized QB in the NFL, whether he deserves it at the time, or not..........Look, I don't wanna get into a big debate on why the Cowboys have failed in recent years, but I will leave you with this.......It has more to do with the GM making bad moves in the draft, free agency, and coaches. AND, the defense has had legendary collapses......Yet Romo has a stinker here and there, and all the haters come outa the woodwork like a buncha rats.

Awe, poor Romo. He plays in all of four playoff games and he gets criticized.If you fans were so objective his criticisms wouldn't be called a "Witch Hunt" in the first place.

After nine years he is who he is, a good but flawed QB.

Eli beat the Patriots twice in Super Bowls and looked good doing it, so Romo shouldn't be mentioned in the same breath

Umm, anyone who feels that Romo is somehow the "victim" of a "Media Witch Hunt" are the ones who are just squawking. Normally, in a Shark Pool thread a person is taken to task for posting something without backing it up without analysis. There is no media content analysis to discuss.

Just a boiled down debate over whether Romo is great or not.

Well there is no such debate, Romo is a good talent who has achieved very little in his NFL career. Romo is not capable of carrying a team on his shoulders and by most standards he has had a mediocre career.

Does Romo get criticized? Yes, does he get more hype than most QBs? Yes. Romo and the Cowboys get more coverage and Prime Time games not because they have been a good team but because they have a large fan base. A fan base that thinks simply being a Cowboy means greatness. A fan base that believes they are good simply because they get prime time games, exclusive interviews on Sunday morning pregame shows and have a fancy stadium.

If anything, the Media keeps pushing for Tony Romo And the Cowboys to succeed because it would be great for ratings. He is after all "Americas Team" Quarterback.

You're an idiot. There isn't one cowboys fan on this board who doesn't know Tonys flaws. Nobody thinks he's Montana.

Wow, you are right, he won one playoff game out of 4 games in three whole playoff appearances.

And yet why all the blubbering about why he is so picked on? Where are the "Witch Hunt" threads about other QBs? Why do Dallas fans, or at least the original poster feel that Romo is "mistreated"?

But you are right, compared to Eli, Cutler, RGIII, Ryan, and Rivers, Romo is horribly mistreated.

Where were all of you Romo haters after the Giants game?

They were the ones saying anyone could have done what he did behind that line.

In other words, when the line plays well and Romo does well, all credit goes to the line.

When the line plays poorly and Romo struggles, it's because Romo sucks.

It's comical.

I am not a big Romo fan, but the #### this guy has to eat from critics is just hilarious.

To be fair there aren't a lot of NFL starting QB's that can't make plays when they get 8 damn seconds to throw on back to back plays

Except that his line this year is much better than it has ever been, yet in the past he somehow put up TD-INT ratios of both +21 and +17 twice each, despite apparently not being very good. Amazing, isn't it? I mean, given the way some people dog him, you would never think he:

-is tied for the most 4th quarter comebacks since 2006.

-has thrown 230 touchdowns and only 109 interceptions.

-is 6th all-time in YPA.

-has the 4th best passer rating of all-time (ahead of guys from his era like Brady and Brees).

Clearly a HOF career. I stand corrected.

Way to cop out of YOUR argument.

Post a bunch of moronic statements and incorrect stats..... Gets confronted with facts...

Takes ball and goes home. Please leave.

I was presented with his statistical greatness. I was wrong. Romo is a great QB. I will dedicate my internet life to right this miscarriage of justice.

Where is the Peyton Manning choker thread?

You have to actually play in a Championship Game to raise your status to choker.Romo is simply the most over hyped QB the league has ever seen. Much of it stems from his rise from seemingly nowhere as he displayed flashes of brilliance.

The problem is the media keeps pushing this Cinderella narrative on top of the entitled Dallas Cowboy Quarterback lineage down our throats for nine years. He simply is not a great quarterback. He is a good QB but not a great one and until he is on a great team he will never win even a playoff game.

He has accomplished absolutely nothing of merit in his career and he is never taken to task. It is always his bad OL, or his bad D.

People accept Eli or Flacco for what they are, inconsistent QBs, but Romo fans somehow cannot accept this fact about him.

Wow. You know, if you could get outa your own way, you might make a decent point.You see, most of us "Romo fans" understand the score. We know about the failures. We've been watching. Most Cowboys haters have blinders on, just like the casual fans that I assume you are referring to........If you'd actually read or listen you'd realize that most of us are assessing the situation realistically. You just hate the Cowboys and want to spout off about them whenever you can. Its ok, I understand. I've been dealing with Cowboys haters as long as I can remember.

One thing you are dead wrong about is Romo not being taken to task. He is prolly the most criticized QB in the NFL, whether he deserves it at the time, or not..........Look, I don't wanna get into a big debate on why the Cowboys have failed in recent years, but I will leave you with this.......It has more to do with the GM making bad moves in the draft, free agency, and coaches. AND, the defense has had legendary collapses......Yet Romo has a stinker here and there, and all the haters come outa the woodwork like a buncha rats.

Awe, poor Romo. He plays in all of four playoff games and he gets criticized.If you fans were so objective his criticisms wouldn't be called a "Witch Hunt" in the first place.

After nine years he is who he is, a good but flawed QB.

who's "you fans." you just squwakin.

Umm, anyone who feels that Romo is somehow the "victim" of a "Media Witch Hunt" are the ones who are just squawking.Normally, in a Shark Pool thread a person is taken to task for posting something without backing it up without analysis. There is no media content analysis to discuss.

Just a boiled down debate over whether Romo is great or not.

Well there is no such debate, Romo is a good talent who has achieved very little in his NFL career. Romo is not capable of carrying a team on his shoulders and by most standards he has had a mediocre career.

Does Romo get criticized? Yes, does he get more hype than most QBs? Yes. Romo and the Cowboys get more coverage and Prime Time games not because they have been a good team but because they have a large fan base. A fan base that thinks simply being a Cowboy means greatness. A fan base that believes they are good simply because they get prime time games, exclusive interviews on Sunday morning pregame shows and have a fancy stadium.

If anything, the Media keeps pushing for Tony Romo And the Cowboys to succeed because it would be great for ratings. He is after all "Americas Team" Quarterback.

Settle down Francis. We get it, you don't like the Cowboys. You think their fans suck. Romo is overrated.....blah, blah, blah......thanks for enlightening us mouth breather Cowboys fans.

No really, Romo is only a year younger than Brees and is only down by 22,000 yards. He is only 2 years younger than Brady and is only back 20,000 yards.

Granted, he spotted Peyton 4 years in the league and 30,000 yards but he does own Manning since 2006 in 4th quarter comebacks.

When Romo retires at 46 he will have just surged past Farve for second all time. Just think of the Super Bowls he can win in 12 more years.

What are you trying to accomplish in here stig? Because making valid points doesn't seem to be very high on your agenda.

Well at first I didn't think Romo was a victim of a media "Witch Hunt". I thought he was simply a average to above average QB that was over hyped by the media and was in fact more media darling than anything else.That simply being a Dallas Cowboy gave him more media coverage than he ever would have received if he played anywhere else in the league. Much of his media coverage had always been positive, and regardless of record, the Cowboys get nothing but the networks best booth teams who sang the praises of Tony Romo.

I thought all of this until I was simply proven wrong. The statistical greatness of Tony Romo was delivered to me via these great forum warriors. I was enlightened, after all these years, that former Cowboy Great and the Networks number one broadcast team wasn't sent to Dallas to praise on every possible national spotlight, but to denigrate Tony Romo.

And now I have seen the light. Tony Romo doesn't get the credit he truly deserves. When he passes Troy Aikman on the All Time passing list, he will become the Greatest Cowboy ever.

And at his current rate of awesomeness he will become the greatest passer in all the NFL after a brief 22 year career. And then, we will all know that he wasn't just a good QB who wore a Star on his helmet and was viewed on national games simply because he was on "Americas Team", it was because he was awesome.

Haters are just gonna hate on Tony Romo, but not me anymore.

" Tony Romo has never asked for any of the excuses Romo apologists eagerly provide any time he plays poorly, as he did on Thanksgiving Day. Or like he has done way too many times in December when it matters most."

http://m.espn.go.com/general/story?storyId=11961348&city=dallas&src=desktop&rand=ref~%7B%22ref%22%3A%22https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2F%22%7D

"Apologists"? Excuse me? I don't apologize for Tony Romo, I'm a truth warrior for Tony Romo.

The article then points out his 12-17 record in December since 2009. Haters I say! They could have just said "Tony Romo has 12 wins in December since 2009". But no, they simply bend the facts to fit their agenda. Just cherry picking meaningless stats. It wasn't even in December when they wrote the article.
