How Can People Continue to Think Tony Romo is the Next Favre or Montana or even Great?

Question

Let us take a look at who he played before you name him the new Messiah for the Cowboys. He has played against Indianpolis(2), New Orleans(5), Carolina(10), Tampa (17), Wash(22), NYG(29) Ariz(30). Parentheses are the pass defense ranks.
In the 3 losses Romo had in 8 games. He threw for 4 tds, 5 ints and 261.67 yds/g. In games against top 10 defenses, his stats are even worse: 1 td, 4ints and only 250 yds/g. If it was not for the Tampa game, where he threw 5 tds and no ints, He would have the same amount of Tds as Ints now.
Romo has played in two big games the season But the savior has been absent for both. Versus the Giants he threw 2 ints and no tds, in a game won by the run. Then, against New Orleans he threw 2 ints and 1 td in Garbage time. He looked pathetic again in the Sunday night in a loss.
You cannot even say he is a winner, he lost this weekend, and the Cowboys are no sure lock up for the playoffs. I think it was premature to crown Romo. Simpson even saw a loser.

I am not comparing him to those people. I am saying we shouldn't. Furthermore, I do not think he is having that good of a season and i layed out my thought with statements of fact. You saying he is having a good season with out any examples

That was for HockeyDude

To Micky Mantle. Though I like what you said. I feel as if you calling the Bears overhyped because of the idea who have they played. The Bears opponents are 76-93. Not very good with a 45% winning rate for the opponent.

However, The Cowboys are not much better 79-90, just above 46%. So the winning percentage are less than 2%, which amounts to 3 wins.

Answer 1

Romo has two all-star calliber wide receivers and a very good back. With great players like that on offense, any average quarterback can look great. Romo is an average quarterback, that's all he'll ever be. It's just because it's the Dallas 'Cockroaches' Cowboys - "America's Team" and so all the media wants to praise him as the next great one. He isn't, and everyone will come to realize that. I complete agree with your assessment.

Answer 2

well everybody wants to hype this guy up but you're right all it is is hype and he has played terrible in some of those games especially agains new orleans and new york he still has a long way to go before he can be compared to any of the top qbs in the league now or ever

Answer 3

Big time Cowboy Fan here......it is mostly "hype" that goes with the telecasters.....Romo will in my opinion, be a great quarterback....and as you said....time will tell......read about the crowning of "Brees" as the "greatest everything".......watch him have a bad one and watch it all be reversed.......the Cowboys just had their butts handed to them.....but so did the Colts and a lot of other teams......we will come back and finish strong(I hope).....to me the biggest "hype" is with the Bears.......look at who they have played and let the

Answer 4

he's a decent QB but at this point when he has played only a handful of games its insane the hype he is getting.

Answer 5

dude seriously! the guy has played half a season in his career! it is way to early to compare him to anyone of that stature. i'll admit that he's having a good year, but come on! no more crowning him a hall of famer already!

Answer 6
