2015 Cowboys: Romo Nomo

Hate the Boys but can't help but like Romo. I'm ready for him to retire any time now. And he can take Witten with him, too.
Is calling Romo a poor mans's Tom Brady fair?

Hardy is obviously the Yankees pitcher who threw at his own son at a father-son game.
I think you'd have to at least sniff the SB to be called a poor man's Brady. No shot.. Maybe next lifetime...
Not to disparage the GOAT, but if Romo had been playing for New England instead of Dallas his career would likely be seen in a very different light. It boggles the mind how someone can play that well for perhaps the most well known franchise in the NFL, have zero off-field issues of note, and still be as poorly regarded as Tony Romo.
I wonder how differently he would be regarded if he didn't botch that hold in the '07 playoffs.
Not a lot of playoff success and some high profile INT's (plus the fumbled snap) have hurt his rep but it's definitely unwarranted. He hasn't been given much help in his career and he's way, way better than people realize. Without Romo, the Cowboys are one of the worst teams in the NFL. With him, they are a threat.
edit - plus, he makes a high quality crownie.
Except that he hasn't had any of that until recently (the weapons, anyway). Sure, the team was pretty good once or twice, but they've been mediocre or worse for the majority of his career. How someone can see what the team did last year, lose seven straight games without him this year and still say stupid shit like this, with a straight face, is just completely beyond my comprehension.
Damn you. I've been listening to him for 14 years and I never made that connection. Now that's all I'll ever hear.
My bad. My 10 year old is a HUGE Muppets fan so I hear the voice all the time.
Plus rainbow connection is my jam.

It is an interesting question. I'd lean toward yes; Romo's been unfairly slagged by his own fanbase because of it, too.
Duke Simpson, played by former Milwaukee Brewer Willie Mueller.
Win a bar bet: Mueller made his real major league debut against the Red Sox.
I think it's fair to say this injury and the collapse in results after have gone a long way to show people, causal fans and fans of other teams included, how good and important Romo has been to the Cowboys. High profile INTs be damned, the dude has kept that team competitive. Now they have this great line and a superstar wide receiver, and frankly a better defense than the last few years and STILL can't win without him.
I can' like him as he's a Cowboy, but I respect him. Fortunately there are easier targets for much more deserved hatred on the Cowboys now.

Dallas got rid of one former Seattle RB but picked up another

I dunno, you can say this about a lot of top 10 quarterbacks. I like Romo, but how good would Indy / NYG / NO / SD be without their QBs (especially losing them mid-season)? Conversely, how good would say, OAK / Buf / NYJ / TB / Ten have been over the past few years with Romo, Brees, Rivers, etc instead of the junk they put out there?
Romo is definitely a top 10 QB, and I think most reasonable fans would agree, but I don't think he's criminally underrated or anything.
Indy is not currently a great example, as they are 2-0 sans Luck. That could change in the coming weeks but as of now, that's what it is.
Let's just hope Romo got all of his rust out of the way because he's going to need to be a lot sharper with Carolina coming to town. Call me crazy, but I don't think they'll be able to get away with those two interceptions this time around.One step closer to 8-8
Also, the line needs to do better. Their pass protection was putrid.
Joseph Randle arrested for assaulting a security guard in a Kansas casino. I think this should put to bed any hand-wringing about why he was cut loose.

Poor bastard. Reminds me of gronk coming back and almost immediately breaking his arm again on that dive up the sideline.
The corn will be Jerry fucking it up and reaching for some dumbshit safety who runs afoul with the law and is out of the league by 2018.
Sorry buddy, totally uncalled for especially on a holiday. Happy Thanksgiving my friend ;-)
May Tony Romo's clavicle no longer have the structural integrity of a termite infested hoarders home.

Now that the season is over can't wait for the Cowboys to cut Greg Hardy and for Jerry Jone's explanation. opcorn

Don't you mean extend him for his leadership qualities?Now that the season is over can't wait for the Cowboys to cut Greg Hardy and for Jerry Jone's explanation.
The serious questions now are whether Romo is done and what you do if he is.
I certainly hope not. I like Romo and wish him well in any game the Pats aren't in. But he is 35, and it's probably an old 35 given how much punishment he has taken.
So you certainly bring him back, but with no realistic expectation he is good for 16 games.
Now what? I would not trust Jerry with this. Stephen yes, Jerry no. I'd be terrified he has RGIII and Manziel itches to scratch.
How about Kaep? Serious question. With Romo's age and brittle bones he'd more than likely have a legit "prove it" opportunity.
This thread should be titled "Romo No Mo," with the "RE" and "done for the year" removed. Come on.
