N/S Tony Dorsett Rips Romo (1 Viewer)

[Mojomajik9]

Because we all love to kick the Cowboys when they're down...

"Well, for one thing, I don't know why on God's earth Tony Romo has been anointed a superstar in the National Football League. Tony is very young in his career. Not to say you can't be young in your career and be a superstar because you've got one up there in Minnesota in Adrian Peterson.

I heard that conversation. I wouldn't say say ripped him, he just said what most have been saying since 07.

I am certainly no Cowboys sympathizer, but I do feel for Tony Romo. He is a good person (taking a homeless man to the movies/lunch, helping an elderly couple change a tire on the side of the road, etc.) but he is really under the microscope because of his media market and the Cowboys' history. If he had gone just about anywhere else (i.e., not NY or NE) then he'd be able to develop, taking his bruises, and not have people gunning for him when he fails.

But he knew what he was getting into when he signed with the Cowboys. Careful what you wish for

I agree... dude played like 9 games as was put into the pro bowl (in 06)... what a joke.

All of DFW hates the dude... its funny as hell to me.

He is Aaron Brooks, great ability, wildly inconsistent

I like Tony Romo because he causes pain and suffering to Cowboys fans.

I agree. Romo is not a great quarterback, but I would like him a lot more if he wasn't a Cowboy. But he is, so **** him.

I think the Cowboys are going to implode earlier than usual this year.

What has Tony Romo ever really done? He's lost nearly ever big game he's ever played in. He's a media manufactured star. I suppose the media wanted him to be the next Tom Brady but he's no where close to it. Heck, he's not even close to being the best QB in the NFC...

Brees
McNabb
Manning
Farve
Ryan
Delhome
Cutler
Warner
Hasselbeck

all these guys have done more than Romo has...and thats in the last 3 years that Romo has played.

I've thought that for a little while now. Great stats his first 1/2 a season, good stats his 2nd, then it falls apart.

Romo's not that bad. Seriously, Payton saw something in him to force the Cowboys to sign him in the first place and he tried to trade for him in '06. The problem with Romo is his star went too high too fast and he got a big fat contract. As they say up here in DFW, he's not the kid throwing the football through a tire all offseason now. He's partying in Hollywood, playing in more golf events than Tiger Woods, chasing broads, etc. He's not putting in the work needed to be at a higher level and it shows.

I wouldn't consider his career "young." He's in his 7th season.

This thread reminds me of why I can't wait for Dec. 19

Nail meet head. Now I don't begrudge anybody having some fun in the off-season. But while Drew was here most of the off-season working, Romo was out having a good time. He's got ability but I don't think he has recognized yet how much work it really takes to stay on top of your game.

That is exactly correct sir. Romo is an Aaron Brooks clone. In fact, the entire Cowboys team reminds me of Haslett's Saints.
