Is there a more unclutch QB in the NFL right now?

Was pretty clutch the two previous weeks.. With broken ribs and punctured lung..he gets a pass this week. that was on Dallas D

Romo is the most bipolar QB in history. 2 epic chokes and 2 4th quarter comebacks in 4 games. Today was choke Romo.

Today I've given up all hope that he'll ever get rid of the choke side.

I'll give him credit for playing through the injury.....that takes heart. I have respect for him in that area. But I turned to my buddy when the Lions were down 27-3 and said, "$20 Romo throws this game away and Lions win...." and he wouldn't take the bet. When you are a QB of a team and considered to be a "good-great" QB, when you have a bigger lead in points than there are minutes left...it should be safe.

He has had some of the biggest chokes I have ever seen watching football since he became the starter in Dallas.

no way

Our Kurt was that jets game 1st have 6 turnovers 2nd half 5 TD's

Romo can't even compete with the Warner mood swings, /tri Polar

I'll give him a pass 2...would take him as my QB almost anyday. But, Romo got the Lions back into 2days game w/2 pix sixes & a pick that lead to the winning TD.

Kurt would have 1-2 AWFUL games a season....and they were just games that we just lost.

Romo takes his team to huge leads playing great like today 3TDs/0INTs first half to throwing 2 Pick 6s and another INT in the final 23min. There's a difference between Warners horrible games where we would just lose to games where a team builds a huge lead and then just collapses.....it would be like having the MNF game happen 3+ times a season.

 

[jmt]

No excuse for blowing that lead.

A few years ago romo threw 5 Int's in a game and made the game winning plays at the end to win it in buf, NY. It was that game that really shows what type of guy romo is. he is a gun slinger and won't ever stop throwing the ball into tight windows. yesterday the cowboys bit the bullet because of a couple of bad throws...even though one of the INT's wasn't his fault.

the fact is I believe romo is one of the top 10, maybe top 5 qb's in the league. the cowboys are lucky to have him. unfortunately for tony, the cowboys fanbase is one of the worst in the league. he just needs to keep playing his game and they will probably make the playoffs this year. in spite of the loss I am very impressed with him and this team so far this year.

Romo is not a top five QB in my book, too many mistakes in crucial situations. He also wins in crucial situations on luck, like we did with Plummer but those see to be less in number compared to his great blunders. Romo is good enough to get you into the playoffs but probably will never win you a championship or Superbowl and that is the dilemma. QBs are so hard to find, but the goal of every team is to win a championship. And a gunslinger seldom does that on luck unless he has a cannon for a arm to take those chances where the probability goes down because the pass stays less in the air for those mistakes to take shape.
Favre pulled some amazing stuff early but as he got older, his accuracy faltered to keep that power and his mistakes increased even more. I think with 16 games, Romo can get you into the playoffs. I do not think you can expect anything past that unless your running game steps up (the Cowboys really lack a big back now late in the game and that hurts them if they want to get conservative). Romo is above average, but that same X factor which makes him so is also his undoing to me. I would not call Brees, Peyton Manning, Brady or Rodgers gunslingers. I would call River's a gunslinger and they have yet to win the big games in the post season

Yes, his name : Kolb.

I disagree with you. I think brees, manning, and those others you mentioned are gunslingers....they might even throw more pass attempts per game when compared to romo. tom brady threw 4 crucial picks against buf last week and lost the game. but they all have SB's now so they are in a different light now so there is no comparison. compare tony's 4th quarter numbers to those and he is right there if not better, but again he has no rings so the dirk nowitzki factor comes into play. you have a guy who is a good player who comes through in the clutch most times, but every time he fails he gets piled on.

don't forget SD let brees walk because they had rivers in the hole. brees had the same team in SD that rivers had for the most part and had 0 playoff victories there. being a sb winning qb means that you have a great team around you as well. it's not only about the qb. if it was peyton manning and tom brady would win every year, but they don't.

I agree with you here. he is the dallas cowboys qb and franchise player. if they win he is great, if they lose he is a scum bag. even cowboys fans will pile on him when they lose because they are spoiled. I think romo is who he is(to quote parcells). he is a good qb with the potential to be great. I hope the cowboys keep him.

given the youth of the team...this team looks very impressive so far even though the record may not indicate such. they are 6th in offense and defense alike and have played some good teams thus far. looking good if you ask me.

I bet this is Romo's last season as the Cowturds QB.

Anyway, does anyone else think Jason Garrett is the illegitimate son of Jerry Jones?

we are going to bring quincy carter back.

I always thought they looked alike too.

As far as what makes a gunslinger, it is not the amount of passes thrown but the manner in which the QB does it. Tom Brady more often than not (that game you mentioned being a rare exception because a quote 'gunslinger' would never have such a low interception ratio) is very cerebral about his passes, Peyton Manning is the epitome of that...just because they do it quickly does not mean they did not process all the information and throw the ball without some intent of what is going on before and during that process of the pass. Gunslinger is a nice word for a guy who just goes 'screw it' and lets it fly on instinct, taking their chances against the factors involved without really considering them (that is why they tend to excel when the play breaks down). Favre was a gunslinger but his arm was so strong that it allowed him time for a majority of his career during his prime where his helter skelter antics could not be capitalized on. Romo does not have that kind of a cannon, and he suffers more when he tries to squeeze something in ignoring formations and such because the ball simply does not get there fast enough to avoid the consequences. And as much as I hate the Cowboys, I wish Quincy Carter on no one LOL

I think it's funny that this board is so enamored with Romo. Seems there's a new thread every week.

Romo = Brett Favre. He's either really good or he falls apart in glorious fashion. Most of the time he's really good. But when he's bad. Boy is he bad.

That said, I'd still take him over at least half of the other starting QB's in this league. He has had plenty of moments when he looks like a top 3 QB and has won games almost by himself. The #'s don't lie. 11 4th quarter comebacks so far in his career. And statistically he's one of the top QB's in our era. Yeah yeah. "Show me the wins." Football is a team game. He gets no help from the circus around him - the Dallas Cowboys.

On the comparison to Favre...he finally got it & stopped throwing so many crucial picks & the Pack won a title. Romo may eventually do that also & thats why he's looked at as a franchise QB.

Didn't Warner at parts of his career do the same? Manning in the playoffs was a bum til he won a title. I'd take Romo as the Cards QB anyday!!!

You have to take Jerry Jones also.

K fine, then I'd thrown him off a helicopter into the Grand Canyon on our fly over just like we should do with Levi Brown

I think Romo is a good QB and his problem is Dallas. Romo is clutch, but the pressure to perform and win in Dallas is ridiculous. Romo will not be back in Dallas next year IMO but will be a starter somewhere next year and do well. I could see him playing QB for a team like Seattle, or Cleveland and being very successful there.

I'm sure he'll be back. To the disdain of the fair-weather Cowboys fans that want to see him cut. (And start who? Kitna. Please.)

If he were in Cleveland, Seattle, etc, nobody would give a crap. He'd get a pass for having a bad game. It happens. Look at Brady throwing 4 int's. I'm pretty sure nobody wants the Patriots to cut him. And I don't recall hearing any of the national radio shows calling him a choke artist.

Romo is actually pretty clutch. He's just had a few disastrous moments which would be overlooked if he wasn't under the Dallas spotlight. Everything is magnified. Both good and bad.

And I don't quite understand the hate. He never gets into any trouble off the field, he never puts the blame on his teammates, he wasn't expected to be a superstar, etc. Yet I'm pretty sure he's more hated than Roethlisberger, Vick, etc.

No way he is hated more than those. He is just the Dallas QB so people take pleasure in seeing him fail. Especially when people try to put him into the same discussion as Favre or Brady, when in reality, he has accomplished very little (in big games).
