Hey Pats fans - how do you think Tony Romo would do in the Pats' system?

[MoLewisrocks]

So Belichick would not possibly get Romo to improve in any of those areas???
You can't prove that anymore than anyone could prove he'd be better here.
Romo had better promise when Parcells was there ... I think he just needs a stricter system to flourish.

Bill doesn't GET players to improve, he seeks players with the capacity to. Romo's a good kid, and he has some physical tools. He's just not terribly bright and driven or cerebral and he's not nearly talented enough to get by on his.

 

[SHOWTIME15]

Just curious - do you think he would excel in this system, and shrug away all his "flaws"? Or do you think he'll be a liability in this offense?

Also - here in Dallas last year, alot of people(but not me) were pointing fingers at Terrell Owens b/c supposedly, his whining and crying over wanting to be happy and get the ball alot ended up hurting Romo's reads when he would drop back in the pocket. Well...despite a dangerous running game now that Jason Garrett is utilizing...well...let's just say you can't blame someone else for your own problems.

i'll be honest with you. i think tony would be a much better QB here in NE than in Dallas. The reason is simple. Belichick. He would make sure Tony does not do the things that get him into trouble. The pats coaching staff is the best for a reason. Even Turdell Sands who was awful in Oakland looked pretty good yesterday.

Dallas has a major coaching problem since Parcells left. Parcells kept Romo on a leash for a reason. Not only that, Jason Garrett is probably not going to get the HC gig he wants. He should have taken the HC job in Baltimore but went back for more money in dallas and now no one probably wants him.

He would do terribly in our "system".

Romo is a gunslinger - a poor imitation of Favre. He can make the spectacular play, but loses games due to forcing the ball, poor reads, bad game management, and poor decision making, all of which are anathema to Bill Belichick.

Peyton Manning, Matt Ryan, and probably Joe Flacco would do well in our system.

Remove that horse-faced goober - and his lil' brother - and add Carson Palmer, Cassel, Brees, and poss. Rodgers, Hasselbeck & Warner, and you've got a deal.

To the original point: Tony Romeo would never succeed here. He personally - and only he -lost both the jints & donkeys games, all by himself. Dallas should be 4-0, the jints 3-1.

Romeo is regressing, not progressing. By season's end, he'll be a basket case.

Hasselbeck and Warner would never make it here. Injury prone and ball security issues. Matt was Brett's understudy and it took years for Holmgren to break the bad habits and by the time he did his had run out.

Bill would love horseface, and might even tolerate his brother. Because they are coachable and Peyton is incredibly cerebral and they are both all in guys.

 

[Double G]

What a happy looking couple; talk about going through the motions.............

As others have pointed out Romo would not be a good fit here, his decision making is piss poor at best.

And the beat goes on in Dallas..................

Most importantly, he doesn't have the fire. He doesn't have the emotional humiliation suffered by a 6th round 199th pick.

 

[spacecrime]

Tony Romo might actually do well in our system. Our line is mobile enough to play to his strength I think.

Inability to read defenses and running around in circles hoping someone will get open is a strength?

 

[Ice Cold Bruschi]

Probably the same thing he does in dallas, play great in september and october then sh|t the bed in december and july

Exactly, I think our "system" would play to the strengths of any qb allowing that qb to succeed, but I don't think he would do nearly as good as TFB or Matt Cassell. I think he has a better arm than cassell and their athleticism is similar but I think Matt had a better head on his shoulders.

I still have a soft spot for Hasselbeck because he's a BC alum & Patriots legacy, like Lofa Tatupu. Not a very rational reason to place him in the "possibility" category I admit. As for Warner, I gotta give him his due because he seems to have made the most of his non-overwhelming physical gifts, while displaying inarguable toughness. He & his wife's attitudes can be off-putting, but his dedication seems genuine, unlike that of the other UDFA QB Romeo. You're right, though, that both he & Matt can suddenly suffer from fits of Turnover-itis.

As for horseface, I still take glee in the "Manning Face" from the 2003/04 POs, and will always remember his quote after losing to Pits-dirt in the '05 POs about his "protection issues." I would love to see that expression - and those comments - again due to another loss to the Pats in a future PO game.

He was an UDFA. Problem was he was Jerry's UDFA binky.

He couldn't help Rohan Davey or Kevin O'Connell, two very good college QBs, and Drew Bledsoe was better before BB showed up than he was under BB, so I'm not sure this is true.

I don't think Romo would succeed anywhere, to be honest.

 

[eagle eye]

1. He is always looking for others to blame for his own failings
2. He definitely is not a good clutch guy

On those two alone he would not make it under BB.

I think that Romo has the tools to become a good QB its his head thats the problem.

 

[HEY BRO! WHAT UP?]

I get a kick out of people on this message board who act like they know the "system" and conclude that Romo wouldn't succeed in the offense. To answer your question, nobody knows how Romo would do in this system.

However, I think Romo needs better coaching. My friend is a Cowboys fan, so we watch every game. I pretty much know the Cowboys like I know the Pats and I'm not a fan of Garrett or Phillips. On the other hand, at least Garrett is finally seeing the light and doing his best to utilize the biggest strengths on the team, the RB's. Also, I hated the Roy Williams trade then, and I still hate it now. The 'Boys could've easily used that pick on a young WR and signed a FA WR instead of Roy Williams.

In addition, I find it funny when people say an undrafted free agent (Romo), who has been the starting QB for the Dallas Cowboys since 2006 is an underachiever. By the way people put him under the microscope, you'd think this guy was a 1st overall pick in the draft.

In the end, it's a pretty much lose-lose situation for Wade Phillips. If the Cowboys make the playoffs but fail to win a game, I can see him getting canned. If the Cowboys miss the playoffs, I'm pretty sure Phillips gets canned. If this happens, I can see Shanahan making his return with the Cowboys.

 

[Afterlifemobile-86]

No, Romo sucks. He would not do well in any system. He looked "elite" because of TO and Witten last year. He's only got Witten now.

 

[jmt57]

Speaking of the Cowboys, whatever happened to our former Cowboy, free agent offseason acquisition Pats fan?

I get a kick out of guys who think tightness is a skillset deluding themselves into thinking they know anything about football. Some of your early work in your theearchives period was...priceless.

Shades of McNabb...

Cowboys Corner: Romo didn't know it was fourth down? Maybe that's why threw it to Hurd again.

As in the 'Doctorate of the Pointless?'

Oh yeah, you can have the seat in that school. No thanks.
