Romo on the Sidelines
 

Did anyone else find it more than annoying they kept panning to him laughing with his brick listening device like he was the one solely responsible for calling the play. I was hoping a mic would catch him saying, "See I told you, you can throw left, you did great!!!.."

So annoying...it looked like he was a teenage girl talking in that thing.

Re: Romo on the Sidelines
 

I saw that too. Wanted to knock that SH*& eating smirk off his stupid looking Face!!

Re: Romo on the Sidelines
 

Sun & Mon Night Football has got a lot to do about pop culture...whoever 'those' moonbats are that are running that operation are required to have alternating Romo & Jerrah shots every 7 seconds to appease the NFL (Goodell) & the pop culture bandwagon masses.

Personally, I'd like to have seen Hacksaw Jim Duggan clothesline Romo while he was talking on his little 'thingy'...not hurt him, of course, but enough to break that silly talky thingy. The loss in OT was enough to wipe that smirk off his face...

Re: Romo on the Sidelines
 

Nope. There's more important things to worry about.

Re: Romo on the Sidelines
 

Romo out with injury = headphones on and laughing on the sidelines
Brees out with injury = going insane on the sideline, into every play, total professional, licking his fingers like a mad-man - like he's in the game... you got the feeling he was willing to do anything to rehab and get back into the game.

Re: Romo on the Sidelines
 

I remember a QB who laughed all the time! Throw a TD: Laugh, throw a pick 6: Laugh! He was so happy win or lose!

Re: Romo on the Sidelines
 

lol

Re: Romo on the Sidelines
 

This is why no one takes Romo seriously when people start ranking QB's. He doesn't come across as being very competitive. I thought Drew looked a little silly last week, but you never have to wonder if he's got enough intensity.

Re: Romo on the Sidelines
 

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?

Re: Romo on the Sidelines
 

Speaking for myself: Don't like Jerrah, don't like those Jerrah employs to play for the Cowboys. So...

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.

Re: Romo on the Sidelines
 

LMFAO!! Good ol' Aaron Brooks. He'd just smile and smile and laugh and laugh. It was actually enraging when he'd throw a pic and walk off the field smiling. He was so talented I remember him throwing the ball BACKWARDS a couple of times. LOL!!!

Re: Romo on the Sidelines
 

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

Re: Romo on the Sidelines
 

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

Re: Romo on the Sidelines
 

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.

Re: Romo on the Sidelines
 

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.

Re: Romo on the Sidelines
 

Tony Tony Tony. Really!

Re: Romo on the Sidelines
 

What?

Re: Romo on the Sidelines
 

Everyone settle down!! I'm getting scared Jerry's gonna come in here!!!

Re: Romo on the Sidelines
 

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...

Re: Romo on the Sidelines
 

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

Romo is guilty by association.

Re: Romo on the Sidelines
 

i liked his face after spiller was off to the races.

Re: Romo on the Sidelines
 

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.

Re: Romo on the Sidelines
 

To be fair, they did show him pouting after the winning TD.

Re: Romo on the Sidelines
 

Romo doesn't bother me for some reason. It's Jerry that totally gets my goat. How many times does the camera have to spotlight his reactions.
I personally don't care what he's doing up there or seeing him on the sidelines.

Re: Romo on the Sidelines
 

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.

Re: Romo on the Sidelines
 

No one ever used the word elite to describe Romo.

Re: Romo on the Sidelines
 

I think there's too many variables involved to compare them. They're both good QBs,but I feel the main reason Brees is what he is is mainly because of Sean's system. Don't get me wrong, I think Brees has the edge over Romo because of his game preparation,comeback drives,and football IQ, but it's not like Brees was setting the world on fire in San Diego. I would choose Drew over Tony,but would be fine if Romo took over Brees' spot when Brees retired.

Re: Romo on the Sidelines
 

No but, if Danno gonna compare the two and say they are close and then say Romo would've won a Superbowl here then IMO he is calling him elite.

Re: Romo on the Sidelines
 

I would too, if we're talking today, Romo is the Better QB. We can talk about the woulda shoulda coulda, is Joe Montana the great Joe Montana if he was with the dreadful Saints back in the 80's probably not.

Re: Romo on the Sidelines
 

He's not on the same level as Brees. Winning a Superbowl doesn't automatically mean a QB is elite, ie Dilfer, Eli, Roethlisberger, Wilson...

I only meant to say that he's not as bad as many say.

I think he's near the top of that 2nd tier, after Brees, Rodgers and Brady.

That's what I meant by close. Top 10 easily, and probably in the top 5 over the last 5 years.

Re: Romo on the Sidelines
 

Who'd you rather have coming off the bench. MCcown or Romo?
