Romo at #76 In PFT's Top 100

[LAZARUS_LOGAN]

Romo gets criticism because of his uniform and that whole jessica simpson/carrie underwood shat.

Exactly. I wonder where Phillip Rivers and Schaub are at on this list?

 

[LAZARUS_LOGAN]

That's because he's black. Anyway, he's old news.

Of course! Too bad you can't get paid for being a big fat, loud-mouth, racist, drug-addled (Oxycontin and Viagra---he can't get it up), pedophile, and get PAID for it... Rush beat you to it.

Probably not on it if Romo is ahead of Stafford.

 

[ThoughtExperiment]

Rivers belonged on it a couple years ago -- not sure what happened to him.

Schaub has always been a very average product of that glorious system... One that I wish Romo could play in. He'd absolutely kill it.

Also... I can't be the only one who can't believe booze was ever a homer. Gonna need some evidence before I buy that one.

I don't think he runs play action well enough to be in that system.

 

[LAZARUS_LOGAN]

I wish I could name a single Qb who manages to play as good as Romo with as bad a supporting cast as he does.

But yep Romo sucks because he cant single handedly win.

Romo doesn't have a bad supporting cast. It's hard to claim that Austin, Bryant, Witten, and Murray when helathy. He has a bad OL, but he's shown to be good enough to overcome that, but what he cannot overcome is the bad playcalling of a certain coach. If a team can only when 8 games with Romo, Witten, Bryant, Austin, and Murray, then that is more an indictment against the HC.

But let's all blame Romo. Why? Because simple minds can only handle simple answers.

Eh, why not? He's a good athlete (twice the athlete Schaub is) and handles the ball just fine. He just hasn't had a coach utilize it very much.

But some of the best periods of Romo's career have come when Parcells and Sparano used it in 2006 and 2007, and to some degree in 2009 when we actually made an effort to run the ball better (and did so).

I disagree. I have never been impressed with his ball handling skills (TWSS).

Yea I think romo is a big over-actor

Except Rush had the benefit of being right. In case you haven't noticed, the sports page is just as left-wing as the other sections of the newspaper. The controversy over the Redskins' moniker, which is driven by lefty sports scribes and talking heads, is proof enough of that.

Except Romo doesn't have a bad supporting cast, and really never has.

The OL isn't as good as we want, but the skills guys we've trotted out there since he took over in 2006 are top notch. And for at least 2-3 years or so as a starter, the OL wasn't much of an issue.

But keep on making the excuses!

It is stuff like this that drove superpunk away.

Jerry is harboring a criminal yet I'm supposed to worry about Rush's old Oxycontin addiction. Yeah .. no.

Good stuff David nice rebuttal

 

[NoShame]

Romo deserves to be much higher on this list.

It's funny how the people that hate on him also trash the rest of our team yet Romo continues to put up the stats that he does...

That's straight from the peplaw school of internet forum genius

Yep. And if the Cowboys were to get rid of Romo, many of these same asshats that trash Romo, would trash the Cowboys for getting rid of him.

Because nobody could possibly be better right?
