LMAO @ Jerry "Stretch" Jones

By the time GBP and DAL play again Romo may be out of the league.

Not surprising that he'd be defending his QB. Romo does seem to have a bit of Favre in him in that he seems to choke at critical moments of games.

a friend commented yesterday that:
"Before Jerry the Cowboys really were a first class organization with a lot of pride and good players and coaches."

I had kinda forgotten that... what a pox he is on that team.

I don't know about "first class org" but their teams and coaches used to be enviable. But it all starts at the top now.

He's Brett Favre lite. He's not as good as Favre and he just good enough to get to a big game and lose it.

Romo = Coach Killer (not our Coach )

If we're looking at the body of work of Tony Romo, it was one of his better games. It followed the typical Romo script, flashes of brilliance, a few missed throws, horrible decisions when it really counted. He put some points on the board against a tough D on the road so Jerry's giving him a flyer... (again)

It helps Romo that it's week 1. Same game in week 12 when a wild card berth is still mathematically up for grabs and we'll get the JJ, "I'm not going to comment today. I'm going to sit down and look at everything and everyone and then make some decisions. Obviously I'm not happy right now" post game burp.....(again)

Romo is a solid fantasy QB... he'll put up enough yards and TDs but who (other than caboy fans) gives a rip if his team wins.

I think most people are overly critical of Romo, not due to play, but to the attention he gets as the Cowboys QB. He's not in the same league as Rodgers, Brees, Manning and Brady, - he just gets the same amount of press because of the team he plays for.

But to be fair, there are a lot of teams in the league that would love to have him.

IMO, the real problem in Dallas is not Romo, but rather that their GM is just a guy that had enough money to purchase the team and give himself a job he was (and remains) unqualified for.

Romo isn't even the best QB in Texas, and you're right in large part - if he played in Jacksonville or Nashville, he'd be just another good QB with a tendency to choke and not a star. He's promoted as a great QB, and that he is not. People don't like manufactured stars like he is, even though by all accounts he's a good guy off the field.

They always seemed like a class organization back when Tom Landry was coaching there. But, after Landry it started to go the other direction with the likes of Jimmy Johnson and Barry Switzer.

Wasn't North Dallas Forty based on those 'classy' Cowboys of that era? If I remember that correctly, I'd hardly call them 'first-class'.

Gil, Tom, and Roger... plus a few others here and there, but JJSD is right. They were not a 100% class organization back in the day.

I often wonder if things were really much different at all "back in the day", or if it just seems that way because of the amount of media scrutiny we have now.

IA State Fair?

@TroyAikman
Yes I do. RT @TJ2399: Do u really believe that Romo can lead the cowboys to a super bowl?

Romo is Colin Coward's favorite QB. He was still talking about how great he was before the meltdown. Yet, Colon still can't figure out they play 60 minutes in football.

what if you just stopped listening to Colin for awhile?

Would that be ok?

Maybe?

I get it now, TD is Colin. Just like on his radio show how he says the same things over and over, TD posts the same things, over and over and over and.......................

In other news I look at Jones comments as the dreaded vote of confidence. Romo will be benched or traded by week 5.

He's not a good fantasy guy if you count turnovers, sacks or low foreheads. Our league counts that stuff. Romo is not my qb.

Spoken like a true Cowboy apologist. In all honesty, if Trent Dilfer can get a ring, so can Romo. The real question is whether Stretch Jones can lead Dallas to a SB. If he keeps meddling with his team like Al Davis, I say never again.
