Romo gets dissed again.
 

[B][SIZE=2][URL="http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2009/07/09/jacobs-on-romo-i-dont-think-hes-that-good-a-passer/"]Jacobs on Romo: "I don't think he's that good a passer"[/URL][/SIZE][/B]

"I'm not a fan of Tony Romo, no. Keep him in the pocket, he's not that good. . . . His luck will be gone sooner or later. If you were to keep Tony Romo in the pocket he's not that effective."

Brandon Jacob's is hilarious because Tony Romo is a STUD! This guy is an idiot, Romo has been a BEAST since he started against NY a few years ago. There is no doubt about it, Romo is a top 10 QB (And is way better than SHELI Manning) And I hate dallas but this is just something dumb to say.
That's like if I said Adrian Peterson is overated lol

I think Jacob's is right. Romo certainly is just as on the hot seat as JC is, although the media will never admit this. Romo lost a 1000+ yd/10TD receiver in TO, and has never shown much at the end of the season when it counts.
I am not saying Romo isn't good, I think he is early in the season, and his numbers in November are amazing, but he doesn't have the desire, in my opinion, that Eli, Jason, or even McNabb have. And when the heat is on him, he has, in the past, collapsed.

I think Romo is equally likely to bomb this year as he is to lead Dallas anywhere.

re: Romo gets dissed again.
 

Romo can do damage to you out the pocket when a play collapses, when its designed its not that natural looking to me at least.Jacobs is right he not a pocket passer and losing T.O going to hurt.

Romo is a stud at one thing and thats choking.I always take pleasure in watching him choke in the playoffs and high stake games.May Romo be with Dallas for many more years.

We should name him "PICASSO" for his talent as choke artist.

Not really. That's not exactly the same as saying AP is overated.

Romo is talented for sure, but he has been protected by a monster line and great skill players.

He has a horrible end of the year record and it looks like teams might have found more than a few weak points in his game to exploit.

If he corrects that stuff he will be a total badass.

If not, he will be another in a long line of ridiculously overated NFL players.

re: Romo gets dissed again.
 

Romo is a gunslinger, but not much of a winner IMO, and he can't really pick you apart. I think he's pretty weak mentally as well. When things are going well, he sports that shit eating grin and slings the ball around pretty well. When the going gets tough however, he's hasn't answered the call.

He's a solid talent, but not spectacular by any means. They dropped TO, and Roy Williams hasn't done anything worth a fraction of what Dallas gave up to get him, and has mouthed off about the team and their work ethic plenty is his short tenure.

I think the Cowboys are going to run a lot more this year. Felix Jones looked awesome before he went down for the year, and the other rookie Tashard Choice stepped in nicely as a #2 behind Barber, who is a monster. And at this point, their best receiver by far is their TE.

I Would say that 27-12 is a winner my man... you guys always blame him for the losses but yet when they win it's the team around him... All I am saying is this guy is legit and there is no doubt about it..

Hey Peyton Manning lost how many of his first playoff games???
So you can't say Romo is overated.

I think Jacobs is echoing a lot of people's thoughts. He certainly read my mind.

Really? I'll agree that their o line has played very well the last 2-3 years, and it has been a top 10 line probably, but "monster?" Proctor has been a weak link & Colombo has been decent. Other guys are all really good but again, don't think they're that good.

This year I look for Flozell to really show his age & for speed rushers to give he & Colombo fits. Remember how they couldn't block the g-men in the playoffs year before last? I look for more teams to beat them that way, hopefully us. Flozell is old & Colombo is getting up there too.

I've been surprised the last 2 years that they haven't drafted o line higher w/all the picks they've had.

That probably won't happen as long as Orakpo is standing up...of all the dumb ideas. Anyway, I agree that speed rushers are going to give them fits, they pretty much already do, so I don't think there magically going to improve.

I'm definitely looking forward to 3rd and longs against Dallas this season with Andre and Orakpo pinning their ears back to come after Romo. Oh, it's going to be beautiful!

re: Romo gets dissed again.
 

I've said this many, many, many times, but we'll see exactly how good Romo is this year without TO. TO is who MADE that offense. He even made the rushing game work because he created a legit passing game. The few times Owens was hurt, Romo wasn't even average, he was FAR below.. I think somewhere in the bottom five passers with TO out.

The entire Dallas offense was VERY poor without Owens in the lineup.

Not quite, AP is an absolute physical freak. To me Romo looks like he needs to hit the gym, far from a well chiseled athlete.

He has been blessed with a dominate o-line, and lots of offensive weapons. I do feel he gets lucky sometimes with the "improv", but he is a solid NFL quarterback. I feel like he has alot of Brett Favre in him, and I know some would say that makes him "great". Fact is........Romo is a gunslinger, sure he will throw lots of TD's, but he can't be trusted to take care of the ball. Ultimately, I dont think QB's in this mold give you the best chance at a Super bowl title. The chances of him stringing together 3-4 games to make/win a Super bowl are pretty slim IMO.

Plus, Big Al and Orakpo will hit him so hard this year, it will straighten out that goofy backwards hat for him.

Depends on if they can get anything out of Roy Williams.

I think they tried way too hard to cater to TO at times last year. He was targeted a ton and they had him running reverses for crying out loud... that's just awful and not the ideal way to use him.

re: Romo gets dissed again.
 

Man, Jacobs sure does like to talk about opposing players doesn't he? I think he made some comments about Laron Landry a few weeks back as well.

re: Romo gets dissed again.
 

Jacobs is classless in my opinion. His attitude on and off the field just stinks. I wouldn't even like him if he played for the Skins. I would be chanting for his release.

Peyton and the offense carried the team when he arrived. the defense was horrid, hence the hiring of Dungy. The defense came together one yr. that yr they hoisted the Lombardi

re: Romo gets dissed again.
 

The blame for losses will inevitably fall to the QB, regardless of the rest of the team. When the Eagles failed to get to the Super Bowl 4 years in a row, somehow the blame fell to McNabb.

When the Giants beat "the unbeatable" Patriots in the SB 2 years ago, it was inevitably put on Brady's inability to counter the NY defensive onslaught.

Same label was placed on John Elway, who had 5 playoff losses before they started making runs to the SB in Denver.

Likewise with Peyton Manning, 5 playoff losses before his team started winning.

Even Jason Campbell is being made a scapegoat in Washington, else why would they have tried and failed to trade for a replacement twice in one off-season.

I cant help but remember the Ravens game at Texas Stadium last season. The Dallas offense was able to keep a lead deep in the 4th quarter. Then the DEFENSE allowed and 82 yard TD run.

Very next set of plays, the Dallas Offense marched down field and took the lead again. Yep, with Tony Romo under pressure, but he still got it in the end zone.

Ravens next possesion, the DEFENSE allowed a 77 yard TD run which cost the game.

And still the blame eventually fell to the QB. Cant win the big game.

That is the price of being a QB in the NFL. You will always bask in the wins, but no matter how well an individual effort is, the loss gets blamed on you too.

And for teams like Washington and Dallas, the pressure is a bit higher. They are large market teams. And each team has deep playoff runs and/or championship seasons in almost every decade. the Cowboys have been a perinial playoff team is every decade since thier inception. The Cowboys have been in and or won a Super Bowl at least once in every decade since thier inception except one, the 1980's. But in the 1980's they were and the conference championship game more than once.

So there is a bit more pressure on them because the expectations are so high.

Not making excuses for Romo, more than a few times I have cussed him because of poor throws or decisions. But equally so, I have enjoyed what he has done.

I'll bet many of you can say the same for JC. Your cussin one minute and wearing his jersey the next.

re: Romo gets dissed again.
 

Ya know, I REALLY hate to take the discussion here but many of the JC detractors in fact want him to turn into Tony Romo.

The characteristics that Romo has (that HIS detractors light him up about) are that 'it' factor, the gunslinging mentality, taking chances, pushing the ball down the field where it may not be wide open but taking a chance anyway, putting up impressive but hollow TD, yardage and PPG numbers. Those are the main criticisms I've seen around here all offseason about Campbell.

If I had a dollar for every time I read a variation of 'I'll take more interceptions if it means that Campbell is taking chances' or 'he needs to throw the ball down the field because good things might happen' then I'd be rich. The irony is some of us rip in others what we want in ours. [/rant]

Romo is an OK QB, he's nothing particularly special from what I've seen. Without T.O. I think he's really going to struggle this season because teams are going to take Witten away and single cover their other WR. Jacobs needs to worry about his own passing attack though because Kevin Boss, Sinorice Moss and Dominik Hixon ain't scaring anyone.

QB's are praised when the team wins, and QB's are the scapegoat when they lose, we all know that.

I dont think the defense had anything to do with Romo dropping the extra point hold.....oh wait, Ware distracted him by yelling from the sideline...must be the defenses fault. :)

Tony Romo was 16 the last time the Cowboys won a playoff game. Romo is overrated, and for a QB that hasnt won anything, talking heads still line up to kiss his butt.

re: Romo gets dissed again.
 

Jacob's is pretty much a caveman and fortunately for the Giants, he gets paid to run and not think. Romo has appeared to be pretty good at improvising in the past. That's the frustrating thing about him as a Skins fan. Right when you think a play is dead or they've f**ked up big time, he somehow makes a big play. This, I think, has added a great deal to him being thought of as an elite QB. This is what I believe caveman Jacobs is alluding to. If you take the improvising away and just keep him in the pocket, how good is he? Making something out of nothing is certainly what you would like your QB to do, but when those completions start turning into picks, you start looking pretty bad. I think without TO this year we'll see a better picture of who Romo really is.

Great post! But I dont understand the thinking of those that want a more aggressive quarterback. I would love to see more scoring, but taking care of the ball should always be a premium in the NFL. Brett Favre is a perfect example of this, lots of TD's....but lots of INT's to go along with it. A great quarterback that won just 1 Super bowl, and that is the gamble you take with gunslinger QB's. Id rather play good defense, run the ball 50% of the plays, and trust a steady quarterback...just my two cents.

Strange situation. A guy hiding from coaches so his buddy can go in? Talk about the inmates running the asylum.

Re: Romo gets dissed again.
 

i like the idea that the cowboys have invested their success in romo . . . i think he is a servicable but not great quarterback, a .500 win guy who can get you to the playoffs but not win the big one

^^^ this is what i posted back in '07 when the boys extended romo's contract. imo from when i first saw romo i saw a guy who made bad decisions but for some reason got lucky or bailed out by his wide recievers on jump balls. i didnt think his luck would last. i agree with jacobs assesment, romo scrambling on a broken play is his strength but that "strength" in my mind is overrated b/c he would get lucky or bailed out. just a strange stretch of good fortune by romo that overshadowed the times his gambling hurt the team.

now he is starting to come back down to earth and those miracle plays arent turning into miracles anymore. thats why i was happy the boys invested their future in a guy who looked good on stats and some miracle plays but really didnt have all the talent or tools to excel for a long stretch of time.

should be interesting to see how this season goes without TO and wonder boy not looking so wonderful.

go skins!!

Re: Romo gets dissed again.
 

Romo is an easy target and being a Skins fan you gotta take aim. But when its comes down to the bottom line he is a capable playmaker. If I were Jacobs, I would be criticizing the vastly overrated supposid Cowboy Defense. They are the real joke on that team. Ware is a monster, other than that they got nothing. Also Jacobs should take aim at doughboy W Phillips, this guy is nothing but a loser...check his playoff record. Im so happy that super idiot Jerry Jones retained him for this year. Romo and the offense will have another solid year.

Re: Romo gets dissed again.
 

Jacobs is an idiot. NFL Network broke it down and in the pocket Romo has a rating of something like 95. Out of the pocket it was like 50.

Id say dropping that FG was a huge choke job and one of my favorite plays of all time. I had the picture framed on my desk at work for a year. I loved to hear the Cowboys fans walk by and talk smack when they saw the picture and how bad of a choke job it was by Romo.

There are always high expectations of the Cowboys by the sports talking heads, and I'm sure many people see Romo as being indirectly responsible for getting TO out of Dallas, so that will also bring pressure on him to succeed with TO.

[quote=CRedskinsRule;567160]Ware couldn't have distracted him, he was hiding cuz he wanted Greg Ellis to go in. Maybe Romo was looking to see if he could find him though. Maybe the Cowboys can have a new kids book called [U]Where is Ware[/U].[/quote]

[quote=skinsfan69;567182]Jacobs is an idiot. NFL Network broke it down and in the pocket Romo has a rating of something like 95. Out of the pocket it was like 50.[/quote]

Even if Jacobs were correct, it is foolish to provide a division rival with such bulletin board material. It conceivably could jack up Romo, the defenders who tackle Jacobs, or anyone else on the Cowpies team who feels loyal to Romo. If that is what Jacobs thinks, that is fine, but to spew it to the press, now that's just dumb.
