Should Tony Romo be fired?

[Geor!]

Payton plays/played for the Colts, Peyton coaches the Saints.

Peyton plays/played for the colts, you numbskull.

Derp!

Something i heard on the radio about Garret today, 8 out of 9 loses have came when they had a lead going into the 4th quarter. I forgot how many were double digit leads.


(dont quote me on the exact number, but it was something close like that)

4 of the 9, this year alone, were leads of 12 or more in the 4th quarter. I'd have to dig to find the numbers on last year.



LOL @ the sky is falling. Romo has had patches of bad play, but they don't last long. Romo isn't the problem

You're going to play the stats padding card? LOLZ! No really, that's funny. Having a few years worth of stats that fits into a certain category doesn't necessarily make someone a good quarterback, IMO. I'm sure Drew Bledsoe still has a few NFL leading stats somewhere, and I'd start him over Romo any day of the week. At least Bledsoe didn't just have a shit eating smirk after the game and say "Yeah well what can I say we lost the game, nothing we can do about it now" and act like he really doesn't give a fuck. He's almost as bad as Wade Phillips and the "Awe schucks" reactions when shit is hitting the fan and/or the game is on the line and they fail to seal the deal. Just fyi, getting in the Pro Bowl doesn't mean jack shit either, just look at Aaron Rodgers, he didn't make it to the Pro Bowl last year but had a phenomenal year and lead the team to a Super Bowl victory. "Come-on, man!"

A few years my ass, he has been damn good since 06, that is 5 years of quality work. Would you rather have a guy like Tebow in there that can't make a pass, yet somehow wins? You would start Bledsoe? You remember that he got benched in favor of Romo right? He has to act like that, if he comes off the field pissed, then he looks like a sore loser and gets all kinds of media attention. Do you remember the flak he got earlier this year when he shrugged off Jerry Jones?

I am not saying that Romo is an elite QB, but when you compare him to guys like Vick, or Orton, or Cutler, or even Rivers, he aint that bad. Do I also need to point out that he is one tough SOB? Busted ribs and he was still out there playing, can't say the same for a guy like Mike Vick.

I thought it was only 3. I voted for romo to be fired. Cause he lacks of leadership. Sure he has pretty good stats but that's all it is. Romo isn't a winner. At least doesn't act like one. But I agree romo isnt the main problem. The main problem is who is in charge of the team and that would be Jerry "the devil" jones. Everyone says its a coaching problem, well who hired all the fucking coaches. The team won't be like how it used to be like in the 70's or 90's until Jerry steps down. And maybe Stephen learned from his fathers mistakes and can turn the cowboys into the team that got the name "America's team".

I blame this season on Sam Hurd.

The team has to be jonesen for a fix.

Look, we're never going to agree on Romo, and I'm fine with that. However, I never said he was the worst quarterback to ever play the position, but he gets a lot more credit than what I personally think he's due, call it overrated if you will. Sure, he's made some really great plays over the years, and he's has some phenomenal games, but overall, to me, he's just a really good backup that was in the right place at the right time. If he was that good he wouldn't have sat on the bench for nearly 3 years behind Vinny Testaverde and Drew Bledsoe. And yes, I think Bledsoe would have been fine if not for Tony Sparano being the offensive play caller behind then offensive coordinator Jason Garrett in 2006.

But I agree romo isnt the main problem. The main problem is who is in charge of the team and that would be Jerry "the devil" jones.

This I think is the main issue. Skeletor to me, does not seem to be able to read a player's true talent, a coach's ability. As an owner, he rocks. As a GM, he sucks.

Who would you trade him for right now though? Obviously excluding the elite guys that aren't for sale, Peyton Manning, Eli Manning, Drew Brees, Rodgers, Brady, Rothlesbeger.

Guys like Stafford, Bradford, Ryan, Vick, Kolb, Gabbert, Sanchez, Newton, etc. Personally I don't think any of them are better than Romo with the exception of Matt Ryan.

LOL, 4 of the 5 on that list that have played Romo, beat Romo...could Romo beat them if the roles were reversed?

[Stephen]

I blame jerry..

why? he is the gm and therefore he chooses his coaching staff.. red jesus should never have been a head coach for the cowboys. its not even the head coaches fault... they are just jj's puppets! they do whatever the fuck he tells them to do and jj probably has his own playbook and makes them run those plays!

romo is just fine.. sure he makes mistakes... but he also takes a lot of chances that end up with great turnouts.. weigh out your options.. If he was conservative he probably never would make a mistake

Thanks.


Ben and Skin suggested we bring in a closer coach for the 4th quarter HAHA.

Jason Garrett reminds me of the coach in The Waterboy when the 4th quarter comes around.

I don't think any of them would be a perfect fit, but that's just me. Jamarcus Russell would probably be a viable option. Kidding of course. There are some really good available guys out there though, but the problem is getting them away from their perspective teams. However, with the new draft class coming up, I don't know if I'd waste my time trying to bring a guy in and just go for a better position in the draft to be able to try and get a young guy, then let him learn for a year and then give him the reins if he's ready.
