Fact is, i Kolb didn't hit that clutch winner, OR do a perfect onside kick, you'd be pissed at Romo. Romo didn't win the game, Kolb did.
I am sorry, gotta help me with this one, who is Kolb?

You act as if he's the first guy to do it. Maybe I should have been clearer, active QB's have it. You don't have to look beyond our team to see someone who did it...twice in a season and twice in one game actually. That's right, Mr. Brunell vs the Cowboys in 05 with two bombs to Moss. I don't recall him being anything special, but I guess he possesses this moxie you speak off.
I was trying to tell you about "Moxy" after you said " Also, EVERY Qb has that kind of "moxy" or they wouldn't be a QB"

You make a valid point. It is more opinion. It won't be after we win the super bowl this year, but right now, it is opinion.
Wow dude, I hope you didn't just jinx your team. I am a superstitious person so I wouldn't say something like that.

I disagree with you. Campbell throws a VERY good deep ball, and it does make people say WOW. He's been doing it all season.
Campbell goes about his business and is quiet and respectful. Romo likes the spotlight. Gibbs knows how to control his players and keep them grounded. Only Riggins is a guy I can remember that was "high profile" for the Skins, because Gibbs likes quiet leaders. Romo seems like a good guy, but he's got a long way to fall if he fails now. These kids don't need that added pressure. You will NEVER catch Campbell doing what Romo did with those 6 turnovers.
He does have the arm for the deep ball but he is inaccurate with his deep passes. Tell me how man of those he has after 4 games. Only a handful, and none for touchdowns. Still, I have not seen anything that WOWs me from JC.

I think it is too early to say that Campbell will NEVER have such a bad game. True, maybe he won't have 5 INTs, but Romo is not the first nor the last, and I hope we both will be around long enough for me to remind you when Campbell has a really bad game.

In understand. Fact is, this was not the first time someone did this, and it won't be the last. It happens a lot. Granted the collapse of the Bills (including onside kick) doesn't happen a lot. But 1 and a half drives at the end of the game do happen, it's not moxie, it's doing your job. If they didn't, they would be the next ryan leaf, and be sitting on his sofa watching the game. I don't want to take anything away from his last two drives. But two drives don't make a QB.

LOL...yeah, I am a bit superstitous too...I knocked on wood when I said it. haha.

You need to watch more of the games...I am sure anyone here will tell you he has one of the best deep arms in the game...in fact ESPN even said he did on a broadcast. This is well known, and getting more well known with more exposure.

True, but Campbell doesn't make those kinds of dumb mistakes...and IF he did, I bet you anything that Gibbs would either take him out, or at least take him out of the equation by going conservative and running the ball, or doing dink and dunk passes.

On Kolb, for a minute there I was wondering how and why the rookie QB for the Eagles came into the picture.

I am thoroughly enjoying your debate though.

I do, since I live in the DC area, I have no choice. Sometime it is the only game on TV. I did not say he doesn't have the arm to throw it, I have seen him over throw many time. I am just saying he is inaccurate. So what! ESPN said JC has a good arm, well move over John, Joe, and Brett. How come when ESPN says Romo is good, everyone in here says they are not right, but when they say JC has a good arm, they are pretty accurate and credible?

Weren't you the one who said that Gibbs supports his players and would stick with them. If Gibbs does take him out or run the ball, how is that going to help his psyche? How is that going to toughen up your QB and make him believe everything is possible and to never give up. Wade stuck with Romo and they ended up winning, who knows what would have happened if Brad Johnson was in the game.

He has missed some deep balls, but he's connected with several as well.
About him being accurate. Well, I think he could be better, but this is the pot calling the kettle black. Campbell's comp% is 59.3%, Romo's is 59.1%. So if Campbell is inaccurate, so is Romo.

I don't think I was the one that said that, but I do think he supports his players. He does not support blatent incompetance though. I have trouble thinking he'd keep someone in that had 6 turnovers. 4 sure...but I doubt 6.
You seem to keep implying that Romo won the game for them, and that can't be farther from the truth. Your kicker won the game for you, and Romo did his best to lose the game for you. The other 21 players on the field won the game for you. The 11 on d, and the other 10 on offense. Romo did next to nothing to win that game on the whole.
I know you want to think Romo did that last 2 drives, and technically, he did well on those two stretches, but you can't ignore ALL the other drives of the game.
For all this, I still say he's not as good as people think he is. People think he's a top 3 or 4 QB, and he's barely a top 10-15, when it comes to total talent. I feel we're going to start to see him come back to earth.
I will say this, if he carves up the Patriots, I'll change my tune about him. But I expect at least 2 int's from him, and the Cowboys will lose.
