Gamevet Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Romo had a good performance, considering all of the pressure he was under. The haters will still hate until he gets a Super Bowl win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ms. Spam Posted January 5, 2015 Author Share Posted January 5, 2015 I wouldn't say hate, but man those two Suh sacks when he was scrambling in the pocket... Maybe I am used to seeing a quarterback run and slide or something. I can't put my finger on it but it definitely not trust in Romo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucas1138 Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 I'd take Romo over all but a handful of guys in the league, tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ms. Spam Posted January 5, 2015 Author Share Posted January 5, 2015 I bet Arizona would have taken him yesterday. I am happy with the win and loved the crowd the stadium had packed in there. 90k paid to sit in that giant dome and root the Cowboys on. I do hate Fox broadcasts though.

The Choc Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Romo's issue is this with the public. If you have a great QB, obviously everyone loves him. If you have a poor one, everyone knows he needs to be replaced. If you have a good one, who hasn't won or had much playoff success, people will start to question if he is good enough. That's where Romo is, everyone knows he is good. I don't think anyone thinks he is great. Some people question if he is good enough. It's like when you have a very good NBA player as your best guy, he's good enough to win you 50 every year, but is he good enough to get you over that hump?

The Choc Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Having said that, in all likliehood whether he wins a Championshi or not, Cowboys fans will miss him when he's gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucas1138 Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Romo's problem is confirmation bias. Any time he fails it's A) in prime-time or B) a 4:25 game which might as well be prime-time. Everyone sees when he fails. No one bothers to say anything when he leads 4th quarter comebacks (and he leads the league in that category dating back to 2010 or whatever). No one said anything today about the fact that in the Cowboys final 3 drives he led them to 17 points to come from behind to win. But lord have mercy watch out if he "chokes" next week. His 2011, 2012, and 2014 were absolutely superb seasons. This year even more so when you consider the Cowboys were 31st in the league in pass attempts. Romo is a terrific quarterback, there might be 8 guys in the league you'd definitely take over him, that might even be high. Manning, Brady, Rodgers definitely. Maybe Brees (was in the definitely category before an awful awful 2014) Roethlisberger, Luck? Wilson if you've fallen for that. As for whether he's good enough- Joe Flacco won a Super Bowl, I think Romo is good enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ms. Spam Posted January 5, 2015 Author Share Posted January 5, 2015 Right on, Lucas. I think I fear the choke because it has happened many times and saw a few glimmers of "almost" in today's game. i mean the Lions played fantastic.A lot of the Lion's fans will probably cry about the officiating but it was a way more exciting game than watching the Bengals injure themselves out of contention or Pittsburgh crash and burn against the Ravens. I was just on the seat of my pants when the come back happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is a good QB and he is good enough to win a Super Bowl. that doesn't mean he will. In fact it's unlikely. And Id take all those guys you mentioned before him without a question, other than maybe Wilson. I'd also take the other Manning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowDog Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Enough about the Bengals injuries. The Colts are on their 5th string running back and lost their best pass rusher for the season. Boo ****ing hoo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucas1138 Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Luck, Hilton (who played poorly today), Vontae, and McAfee might be the only four positions on the field where Indy has any kind of significant talent gap at all. Despite it all, this roster still isn't that great. Shockingly (not), it's as dependent on the quarterback as it was from 2001-2010. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucas1138 Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 He airmails throws a lot, and he's cavalier with the ball when trying to avoid sacks (I'm not talking about moving around in the pocket, I'm talking about the Roethlisberger 'try to make a play happen' stuff) his fumbles are absolutely untenable. But about 4 times per game he'll make a play that leaves your jaw on the floor. Today it was the sack evasion + throw to Moncrief 40 yards in the air as he's being tackled. Manning did that back in the day, Rodgers does it now. It's pretty incredible to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Choc Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Give me the QB who flat out makes plays. I hate the whole "oh no, avoid INTs and mistakes at all costs, we are soooo scared." You play scared, you lose. You have to be aggressive. Especially when your team is maybe not quite as good overall as the opponent. This is what people don't get about Eli Manning, its why he throws too many picks sometimes. He tries to make plays. If he didn't play that way and played it safe and tried so hard to avoid INTs, his stats would look better, his QB rating and his whatever that ESPN stat is would be higher and he wouldn't get made fun of more making a weird face when he does throw picks. And that would all be well and good, he'd also have no Championships. Luck reminds me of Eli in alot of ways. Granted a better Eli, but the desire to make plays, big plays is there in both of them. And more important the complete lack of fear of bad plays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Choc Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 You're addressing a totally different point.I don't think so, more or less agreeing with your post and basically saying some of those things you said in the first paragraph about Luck I'm more than willing to live with because Luck makes big plays.
