Just remember the plethora of non-NFL quarterbacks we had before your anti-Christ showed up. I would think those memories alone would soften your stance somewhat.

this will be the last fanpost of yours i ever open

It’s just wasting space…as is Tex. Must be tough being his brain, for it never gets much use.

1st …. who said he WAS Staubach?

2nd, it’s Staubach, not Staubauch.

3rd …. meh.

this pot had been stirred to death…..i guess i was wrong…….

Quincy carter

Fun loving, clearly talented and someone who loves the game. Can he marshal all that to get over the top? There are indications both ways. Dandy Don for all his guts and moxie, could not and it probably drove him away from the game early. That, and a Green Bay team for the ages. And he did a lot worse on the side than play golf or even go to Cabo.

Don’t let best get in the way of better. Last I checked, Peyton Manning, Tom Brady, et al were locked up in long-term deals, so unless you got a compelling alternative, doing something is not better than doing nothing. Not having a solution is the problem. I remember all too well the dark days post Troy, pre TR. Be careful what you wish for. I’ll take a chance at winning over no chance at all any time.

Did Roger win by his 3rd year after starting ? Troy ? Peyton ? Seems like the bar is being set awfully high…

But feel the point remains. There’s enough evidence to show Romo is worth sticking it out for. And not nearly enough compelling evidence after 2.5 years of starting for a do-over.

Even replacing him with a competent ‘bus driver’ does not put DAL over the top – too many unknowns in too many other critical areas to say there’s a single magic bullet that will get us a championship.

Or Quincy Carter? Drew Bledsoe?

1. Romo is starting only his third full season. He’s still learning and is already showing signs of maturity.

2. Peyton Manning lost his first three playoff games. Romo is 0-2 in his first 2 1/2 seasons as a starter.

3. He’s still a top five to top ten quarterback. As far as I’m concerned, I don’t think there’s much reason to complain.

with all due respect tex…

why don’ t U go root for the freakin’ texans.

it bugs the crap out of me when Romo makes dumb mistakes — i ain’ t gonna lie there — but i’m gonna keep pullin’ for him.

and I DON’T FORGET what a huge part he has played to resurrect this franchise after enduring the likes of anthony wright, ryan leaf, quincy carter, chad hutchinson, vinny testaverde, and drew bledsoe.

for you and others to quickly forget that just boggles my mind.

"Tony does things similar to the way I did," said Staubach, who earned the nickname Roger the Dodger. "I hate to make comparisons, but I see that instinct to make things happen. When I was out there, that’s all I was trying to do, make good things happen."

If you don’t like what ‘Tex’ has to say, simply, DON’T OPEN HIS FANPOSTS. I find it hilarious that his posts can stir up so much B.S. amongst so many adults. If I were him, I’d be rollin’ on the floor, laughing.

Be easy.

I would say that everyone should go here…

Wait for it…wait…for…it…

Certainly wasn’t me….even though I think Romo is overrated.

Terry’s blood pressure will be at an all-time high reading this.

for people who insist on speaking as themselves in the third person.
It’s called an idiot.

If feel more dumber for having read that….

…of someone who focuses 100% of the team’s shortcomings on one position. Here, I have some more "insightful" comparisons for you…

Wade Phillips, you’re no Tom Landry or Jimmy Johnson.

Marion Barber, you’re no Emmitt Smith

Felix Jones, you’re no Tony Dorsett

Roy Williams, you’re no Michael Irvin

Miles Austin, you’re no Tony Hill (or even Alvin Harper for that matter)

Leonard Davis, you’re no Larry Allen (or even Nate Newton for that matter)

Jay Ratliff, you’re no Randy White

Terrance Newman, you’re no Deion Sanders

Kobe Bryant, you’re no Michael Jordan; oh wait, sorry, wrong team and sport (but hey congrats on finally getting that Shaq-sized monkey off your back. Had I used Tex-type "logic" I would have avowed that your Lakers would never have won another title again and put all of the blame on you).

Let’s keep in mind that Roger Staubach played for a hall of fame coach, and behind at least a couple of hall of fame offensive linemen. Blaming Romo (exclusively) for being 0-2 in the playoffs (0-3 if you count the Philly debacle) would be like me blaming Roger Staubach (exclusively) for being 0-2 against the Steelers in the Super Bowl. These past few seasons have ended because of poor coaching and terrible O-line play more than anything else.

I actually thought no one would bother to respond to the inane post when I checked in Sat. Now I see not only posting going on, although it is mainly against the subject and writer, but someone is recommending this junk and pushing good fanposts out of the slot. This is just wrong!

It was a site contributor who compared Romo’s late-arriving career to that of Roger Staubach. The headline was edited, and lacks the set-up, as it was originally written.

After Courtney Lee, a promising young player for the Magic, choked a layup that lost game 2 of the NBA finals, the Magic did the right thing and shipped him out of town ASAP. When the chips were down, they found out all they needed to know about his “make-up” and properly said good riddance before he blew more games for the team in the future.

The Seattle Slip should have been all the Cowboys needed to see of Romo. When the chips are down, he folds like origami. A simple hold, almost easier than a layup, and the Cowboys win, instead his true DNA surfaced and he choked – never to recover. And instead of cutting their losses, moving towards a Brady Quinn, the organization stuck with Romo, hoping that Donnie Moore could become a top-notch closer again, or that Jean Van de Velde would regain his form.

Now two+ years after his make-up was revealed, Cowboys fans have been treated to Cancugate and the Philadelphia Phold… only worse moments lie ahead. Chokes like Nick Anderson never regain their form after monumental collapses like the Seattle Slip and Tony Romo won’t either.

It is true. Tony Romo is no Roger Staubach. And Roger Staubach is no Tony Romo.
Jessica Simpson does not play football and doesn’t need to be in a football discussion. Who my girlfriend is does not affect my performance at work.

First and foremost, you will not find a more devoted Roger Staubach supporter than me. As a teenage boy he was my hero and I believe I even prayed that God would replace my own father with him. He’s a very classy man and football player.

I believe the character assignation of Tony Romo in order to uphold Roger Staubach’s character is really not necessary. The comparison does not diminish Roger’s character accept in one’s mind. While Roger had an admirable character with his service to our country, that does not mean that Tony Romo’s character is mud because he didn’t. I do not find Tony Romo’s character to be in question here and speaking of him and his ability as a QB in relation to Roger, does not diminish Staubach’s character either.

 I rather like the fun loving, gritty approach, and willingness to take a risk to make something happen. Many successes required a lot risk (the moon landing, Columbus across the great aquatic divide, D-day, etc). He is really into what he is doing. So was Roger. The just do it different and it is not a reflection of their character. And as for character, I could tell a story or two about Roger that would dim the light of the squeaky clean persona he had. Really nothing to make the headlines or anything like that, but it would definitely make him more human. He was and still is a really fine human being. I idolized him as a young boy. He did no wrong as far as I saw it.
As for athletic comparison, it should be noted that both of these men possess/ed an awesome ability to do what they do.

I beg to differ concerning the comparisons between Tony and Roger as I see that they are similar. I recall making the claim that Tony’s mid season takeover a couple years back strongly resembled one back in 1971. Coach Landry started Craig Morton to begin the season. He then alternated the 2 QBs and went with Roger midseason. Tony’s mid season arrival seemed to be very similar to Roger’s coming in midway into the 71 season to take the Cowboys to the Championship. Tony’s ended in heartbreak on freak mishap. Many Cowboys fans did not like Roger to begin with back then. A lot of them were Craig Morton followers. It was a bitter sweet moment. It didn’t last long though. Kinda similar to the anti Romo fans of today.

Tony Romo sat out some years before getting a chance to lead the cowboys to an awesome stretch that ended in a heartbreaking disappointment. I can actually remember Roger Staubach making similar disappointing mistakes and believe he will even mention that fact himself. That mid season arrival of Tony Romo was reminiscent of when I was 10 years old (1971). It almost seemed to be an omen. Well the ending wasn’t the same, but I certainly believe Tony Romo is the QB we need.

The funny thing about comparing a QB of today to one of yesterday, is that today’s QB throws the ball 3 times more than the Roger Staubachs of 1971-1979. In fact most times in those days a team just handed the ball off most of the time. The speed of the defense is unreal compared to back then. The complexity of the game has morphed into something so different.

With these differences in mind, The athletic ability of Tony and Roger should not be argued about. You cannot compare them with the differences they dealt with. Roger was really accurate, but then so is Tony. Roger could avoid the rush, but then so does Tony. I do not find anything wrong with the character of Tony Romo. While I know more about the character of Roger, it was so great that a young boy like me wanted him as my dad.
 

Tex, if any team in any sport threw away every player that choked in their career, it would be absolute team suicide on every level. Everyone chokes. I’ve personally seen Brady, Peyton, Ben, and yes even Roger Staubach choked a time or two in his career. That partial year as starting QB for Tony was much like his rookie year. I know he was on the sidelines for a couple years, but 06 was his first on field – I’m the starter in the NFL experience. I bit much for even the most highly taughted player. Tony’s the guy we need, he’s the guy we got, and he’s the best thing we got. Besides that, a lot of NFL strategist will tell you he is in the top 10 of QBs in the NFL right now. I wouldn’t argue that point at all. We have a very good QB and I’m looking ahead not behind just as I believe Tony and the rest of are doing.

Finally someone had the nuts to say what needed to be said…I hope Tony is reading this and maybe he’ll get his head in the game this year. I can hear the boo-birds coming out in December now…wow, what a difference a year makes, Terry.

Romo I Trust but he is not Staubach but sometimes dnt u see it in him. He’s no Troy but hey when he threads that needle u say man, that reminds me of those glory days!!!! Hes no Danny White but when we have these same mis haps goin on u think back , and ask yourself will Romo b another Danny.Alot of wins wit no bowls. When u c his dis respect for the ball u think of Rex Grossman. Hey Romo is Romo all he can do is improve strong points and shake his flaws.
