  1. Isn't the purpose of first round picks to get players like Dez? 

     

    Is the objection to the contract, or is it to giving Dez a bunch of guaranteed money?

     

    The reason I'm not super ready to give Dez a $100m contract is because Romo and Tyron already have $100m contracts, and eventually we'll have to resign our young OLinemen. 

     

    We can also use the money saved to improve the defense and sign a player like Hardy. 

  2.  But I don't see that fire in his eyes that I believe is necessary for championship QB's without a top 5 defense

     

    Tony Romo has played with fractured bones in his spine this season.

     

    He gets a pain injection before every game so that he can play. Not a little shot in the arm, either. It's very detrimental to his long term health.

     

    He wants it more than anyone.

  3. Let's go over some of those big games he has won in this year then shall we?

    Big game #1. Game against the Saints, we had been totally embarrassed last season by them and had something to prove and we destroyed them. Big game #2 Seattle Seahawks @ Seattle. Only 1 team has beaten them at home in 3 years before us. We cooked the birds very good and shocked the entire NFL. Big game #3 Philly @ Philly. 38-27. Need I say more? How about showing me a complete choke by Romo so we can compare?

     

    Giants game was as beautiful of a GWD you'll ever see.

  4. I do think Romo is a good QB, but I can't say there isn't a bit of truth to the choker thing until he proves differently.

     

    Tony Romo leads the NFL in 4th qtr comebacks since in 2006 (starting year), with 27, including 4 this year.

     

     

     Consecutive years either in the playoffs or right at the end of the year at a time like this weekend when the game is on the line and the Boys are counting on Romo to pull the thing out it always tends to end in some kind of turnover by him. 

     

    That's the problem right there.

     

    He's proven he can win ball games with a game winning drive. He's done it a lot. But it comes down to that situation far, far too often.

     

    He can do one of two things - execute or fail. And when you are in the 4th with 50 seconds left down by five, the chances of failing skyrocket. 

     

    For the record, over the past two years, Romo has one "choke" (if you choose to call it that; I do not) vs the Broncos (506 yards, 5 TDs, 1 INT) to go along with 8 4th qtr comebacks.

  5. Remember Romo vs the Broncos last year? I sure do. Tony throws a beautiful pick to end the game in defeat.

    Are you blaming a L in which Romo threw 5 TDs on Romo?

     

    lol

     

    I've been a hardcore fan of the Cowboys for my entire life, and I can assure you that Tony Romo has never been a problem in Dallas.

  6. I think you guys have some major misconceptions about our team. 

     

    Tony Romo, for one thing, does not force the ball to Dez like Stafford does to Megatron. Tony Romo is 4,000x the QB Stafford is.

     

    Go ahead, stack the box to stop Murray like literally everyone we've played this year has. It hasn't worked too well. If you do, get burned by Dez, Witten, Williams and Beasley. 

     

  7. But the difference between those teams is the Cowboys D is a game managing Defense. The Browns & Texans RELY on their Defense's

     

    Cowboys just gotta do enough to get their offense the ball, they'll do the rest. And it helps that their game is shortened by the long drives the offense puts together thanks to the NFL leading rusher & that offensive line that continuous 8-8 seasons and good scouting got them 

     

    With our O-LOB (offensive line of boom), a healthy dose of Randle and Dunbar should be fine. They'll keep Murray in on passing downs and give him 20 carries or so.

  8. They really don't have much on offense outside of Dez Bryant, and maybe Witten.

     

    And that Romo guy. And that guy who's the NFL's leading rusher by 409 yards.

     

    Anyway, I've watched a lot of Colts games this year and I'm excited about this matchup. I love the way Davis has played.
