Looking beyond the "Trade," what's still be done?

Romo in past 5 years, when healthy, was top 5-7 in NFL....he puts up great numbers....and Cowboys would have made SB if not for getting screwed in playoffs 2 years ago....i have no doubt that they would have beaten Seahawks in Conference Finals (correct me if i'm wrong, but i believe that was the year they got screwed against Packers, no ?)

Cue the "they advanced because Lions were screwed"
 
Re: Looking beyond the "Trade," what's still to be done?

Anyone can engineer a 4th quarter comeback against a crap team like Jacksonville or Cleveland. The real question is why you'd need to come back against a team that bad to begin with. But beating the teams you need to beat when you need to beat them (i.e. in the clutch) is what's important. This is where Romo always falters: in games that matter.

You know as well as I do, according to you, no game he wins matters.

Romo is to football what Luongo is to hockey: anti-clutch.

Cmon his stats are in the top 5 in QB history and he had some lousy teams to work with . Dont like him thats fine but he is a legit HOF when he retires .

Plenty of great players like Fouts in football, Barkley and Ewing in basketball who never won the big one but are among the greats in the game .
 
Romo has to win a SB to get into the HoF. Of course, even then, Wehave will find a way to denigrate it.

Hell, he denigrated Emmitt Smith's passing of Walter Payton's all time mark because he didn't do it in his prime.
 
Its really tough to look at QB stats of today vs stats of the past, passing is so much easier now; the rules have neutered the defense in the NFL.

So Top 5 in QB stats doesn't mean what it once did.

Passing now is like Goal Scoring was in the 80s. Bernie Nicholls once scored 70 goals in an NHL season, but no one is calling him one of the game's all time greatest goal scorers.

Goal scoring stats for star players are down huge since Mario`s era , not sure passing numbers are down by that big a margin since lets says Marino`s days to now .
 
The rules are easier for the passing game now. In Staubach's era, you could mug a WR all the way down the field. Now if you look at them, a flag is thrown.

Im saying the passing is the opposite. Its way up. You cant compare passing today vs the 80s... its unfair to the 80s guys cause its much easier to pass now
 
Re: Looking beyond the "Trade," what's still to be done?

The NFL has basically made playing defence illegal. They want touch football. The quarterbacks can work without any element of fear today. Back in the 70's it was legal for any defensive player who caught up to the quarterback to rip his head off.
