Romo not that good - Theismann

REDSKINS4ever · 10-03-2012, 01:20 PM

Romo isn't exactly a bad QB. He's a good QB who had a really bad game. As many bad games as Theismann has had towards the end of his career especially, he really shouldn't talk. But I understand where he's coming from. New York Giant fans are bragging so much about Eli Manning, his 21 comeback wins and 2 Super Bowl wins, that they hate the comparisons between Manning and Romo. After Romo threw all those picks the other day, they don't want to hear anymore comparisons between those two QBs. What the Giants fans fail to realize is that Eli Manning has looks as dreadful as Romo did this last game every once in a while.

Yes its only a 4 game sample, but doesn't RG3 seem to make much better decisons than Romo with the football? I use to worry so much everytime Sexy Rexy went back to pass that he would make the right decision because on TV you can't see the secondary, until the throw, but RG3 has sort of eliminated that fear as I watch games now. Miles Austin makes Romo look good at times when Romo makes a bad throw, but Dez does not and that's what killed Romo on Monday night.

Theisman can always say I didn't say he wasn't good, I said he wasn't "very good". Because he likes to pretend like he's super smart football man. The organization seems pretty dysfunctional, so I think everyone has to give Romo some credit. Jerry seems kinda insane from a distance?

During the time between Aikman and Romo the Cowboys were one of the worst teams in the league.

Exactly

Romo, as much as I hate to say is in the upper-middle class of QB's. I think Jerry Jones hit the nail on the head when he said "All our caliber guys, are running out of time". Romo has been beat up on, chewed up, and spit about by everyone in the NFL including Dallas. I don't think I can point at that team and say _____________ is holding them back. They just don't execute. At least we had a reason to suck for almost 2 decades.

Romo is just good enough for Dallas to keep hanging on to him and thinking he can take them to the SB. Fine with me because I feel he has proven over and over he is good enough to be looked at as a star QB but chokes when it counts.

Romo's like a box of chocolates.

I hope when Garrett is done after this year, they hire Ryan so that he can turn the Cowboys into same the sh**storm that his brother has turned the Jets into.

Maybe then can hire both Ryans and Really turn it into a show. Imagine Hard Knocks with the Ryan brothers.

Plus keep Rob. Watching the brothers argue in-game on the sidelines will be priceless.

Romo truly showed against the Bears why he went undrafted.

21,982 yards passing with 154 TDs and a 95.9 rating for his career so far says otherwise

Mattyk, I know good and well Tony Romo has had a stellar career. I was just making mockery of the Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback. LOL

Put Romo in Seattle, Carolina or Jacksonville with the same talent he has and he would be considered on the level of a Matt Hasselbeck. He's a decent QB who can put up good numbers but is not clutch, has a .600 career winning percentage (but if you take away one 13 win season as an anomaly is much closer to .500) and hasn't distinguished himself as an upper level QB. What Theismann was saying is that Romo is considered better than he actually is because of the star on his helmet, which is completely true.
