Romo on the Sidelines

Danno · 10-05-2015, 05:21 PM

Never understood the Romo hate. He's a great QB. He's just on a team
that everyone hates.

Don't forget that Payton tried to get him in 2006 before we signed Brees.

Care to guess who's thrown more career picks? Romo or Brees?

Care to guess who's thrown more picks in the last 5 years? Romo or Brees?

Don't like Romo or his little smirks on the sidelines on his girlie, teen phone during a game where my Saints are struggling to get their first win of the season.

So basically its entirely off the field, personality dislike stuff?

More or less, though I haven't liked the 'Boys since Jimmy J & Jerrah took over in 1989.

Romo is guilty by association.

But, guess who's going to the Hall and who's not. Let's not compare the two, it's not close.

I'd venture to say that if we'd landed Romo in 2006, he would have won a SB here under Payton's coaching.

I'll gladly compare the two, because it is close. One just plays for a team everyone hates.

I don't often disagree with you, but I do here. IMO to say Romo would have won a Superbowl here too is crazy. IMO Romo has had as much if not more talent in Dallas and has never won Jack.

I'm not a Romo hater, I think Romo is a very good QB , but he was never elite like Drew.

This sort of thing is why no one likes him. He rubs people the wrong way.

As for comparisons, Brees has been starting in this league a couple seasons longer than Romo, and Romo has missed a lot of games. He also has a much better offensive line these days than we have. That would be the reason for the INT difference. Romo is good, but not great. There really is no comparison, in my opinion.

But Drew had arguably the top O-line here for the majority of his career. The Dallas O-line was crap until about 2 years ago. And Drew had many more weapons at his disposal than Romo ever did. A young Colston, Jimmy Graham, Reggie Bush, Darren Sproles, Jeremy Shockey, Pierre Thomas, David Thomas, Mark Ingram, Chris Ivory, Deuce McCallister, Devery Henderson, Lance Moore etc...

Colston has always been kind of a system guy. He got old fast. David Thomas was not a weapon, Shockey was no better than Martellus Bennett by the time we got him, and Romo had Bennett. Devery Henderson was fast... That's about it. Lance Moore was good for a time just like Colston, but Romo had Terrell Owens, Roy Williams, Jason Witten (for a lot more than 5 seasons, like us with Graham) and Miles Austin was kind of their Colston. A guy who got hot for a little bit and then fizzled out.

He has Dez Bryant, he had Marion Barber and Felix Jones (when he was healthy and was actually pretty good), he had Demarco Murray... Barber and Murray are certainly more accomplished backs than Mark Ingram. Romo also had Terry Glenn, and even Julius Jones had a couple decent years.

Drew had McCallister for a whole year, and Payton refused to utilize Ivory because he supposedly had a fumbling problem. Sproles and Bush (sometimes Bush) were good players for us, yes. But there have been a lot of plug and play guys to go along with the talent we had. I see no evidence that Romo had any less at his disposal. He doesn't make the other guys better, is the difference.

As far as our line, we used to be good on the interior, but we've struggled at tackle for a long time. Guys like Bushrod, Strief have needed a lot of help to keep Drew from getting killed.
