Roster Series Part 3: Quarterbacks

By now I’ve heard it all. Tony Romo chokes in big games. Tony Romo makes too many costly mistakes with his Favre-esque style of play. Tony Romo doesn’t care about winning in the NFL. And the most outrageous of all to me – Romo-friendly means scaling back the offense and making it simpler in order to hide his shortcomings as an NFL quarterback.

Wow, Really ?

Here’s my rundown on the 2009 Quarterback roster of the Dallas Cowboys:

Starter – Tony Romo. There are some people on the internet who truly did see potential in Tony Romo when he signed with the Dallas Cowboys as an undrafted free agent.

This part of the team is definitely good to go.

[GOP_Raider]

Care to do the honors?

Yes, they are ready to go.

Go 13 years without winning a playoff game.

NFL PING

FReepmail scott says to be added to, or to be taken off the NFL Ping list... This is a fairly high volume ping list

[abb]

Well, there’s hope they’ll find another owner...

[GOP_Raider]

Was Jerry Jones really on the ‘64 Arkansas National Championship team as an o-lineman? That’s some trivia I could use on the college football thread.

[trumandogz]

No, Cowboy Fans are stuck with Jones family for the next 50 years.

[Jolla]

Yep, along with Jimmy Johnson, who in his high school year book was picture next to Janis Joplin - a two fer one trivia for you.

Back when gentlemen ran the organization. Back when I was a fan...

Go 13 years without winning a playoff game.

or "go" to Philadelphia and get embarrassed again.

and again.

and again.

(insert lazy ignorant comment about philly fans right about here while ignoring more serious incidents in a dozen other cities)

As a Giants fan I love watching the cowboys fade into oblivion. They had a shot with the team Parcells put together, but blew it. They’ll finish 4th in the division this year. The NFC champ will be either the Eagles of the Giants.

Well, there was that one scene from "The Rose" Where she took on the entire ... naaaaah.

[GOP_Raider]

Wow that is some trivia. My parents hated Janis Joplin, they always thought “she couldn’t carry a tune in a bucket”.

If you're a better than average QB people are always going to say "you can't win the big games" until you win big games. And then they'll say "you can't win the Superbowl" until you win a Superbowl.

For ex: Peyton Manning, Steve Young, Elway, Eli, etc.

Note they never said anything about Trent Dilfer because he sucks so bad nobody cares if he won a Superbowl.

[abb]

Her best. In my opinion...

I'll say something bad about Dilfer and his thug defense, because that's the only reason why he has a ring. SOB!

[abb]

A more better cut.

Yeah, but Romo really sucks in December, his completion percentage drops about 10 points, his TD-INT ratio inverts, and his QB rating drops about 40 points. http://www.nfl.com/players/tonyromo/gamesplits?id=ROM787981&season=2007 In general I agree the who “can’t win the big game” thing is just so much hype, but Romo’s splits show a real difficulty when the games matter the most, he just might be the exception that makes the rule.

[Bender2]

Gadzooks, General Jackson and Tom Landry! I'm ready... for some football!

[abb]

Mr. Landry...
