Romo gets dissed again.

[Paintrain]

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.

Paintrain posts another astute opinion.

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.
