QFT. JKim rips the guy who had a 146.3 passer rating before making his ONLY mistake of the night (the INT). But sure 345, 4 passing TDs and 1 rushing TD is just a shaky quarterback. And no pressure? Youve got to be kidding me, the giants were blitzing most of the game.

Play a good defense, and then we can talk.


(Rex Grossman for Tony Romo? Yeah? Yeah? We'll throw in Cedric Benson.)

homeriffic thread. he is good qb, but lets not get carried away because of his one game performance against a D-III quality secondary.

I'm ripping the guy? I said he played a great game. What more do you want me to say?

As for the other stuff, those are my observations. May not be necessarily correct, but let's not get ahead of ourselves and think he's the savior for the Cowboys on one game versus a team with a shoddy-ass defense, and couldn't even get pressure to Romo on 5-6 man blitzes (That's because I had stated the Dallas O-Line was good on this day)

Like last year, Romo looks great when his OL and blocking and the receivers are getting wide open. This was Bucs game part 2. I wonder what their team YAC was? Seems like the receivers ran for more after the catch than the ball actually traveled through the air.

When he puts up those numbers against a defense that's actually trying he can be named the most underrated QB.

Yeah, after what the SAINTS D did to him last year, I'm hard pressed to believe the hype.

Yeah its not like part of that was your head coach at all. The guy who was Romos QB coach since he came into the league. The guy Payton wanted badly because he knew him so well. (Obviously this was before Brees performance last year)

Well how bout what the Eagles defense did to him? or the f'ing Lions defense? The Cowboys had a chance to clinch the division last year on christmas day, and Romo was awful, then he couldn't even beat a 2-13 Lions team at home, the following week.

The guy is a pretty good QB, but certainly not the most underrated player on this board.

Well the point NOKGAI was saying was the Saints defense sucked in general, but did good against Romo.

As for the Eagles their defense was pretty good last year.

The Lions game wasnt lost because of Romo. He actually played pretty well. 23/32 (72%), 321yds, 2tds, and 1INT with a QB rating of 111.6, he did have a couple fumbles though which was bad but could have been overcome.
The running duo getting 42 yds and no TDs certainly didnt help any.

Not really. The Eagles got ran over a lot, and had no pass rush in the second half of the season, which was possibly attributed to not having Jevon Kearse.

I think Tony Romo is a good player, I just don't see how anyone can call him "underrated" after the ridiculous hype he got last year. I mean, he even made the pro bowl based on half a season that wasn't even that good. i'm not trying to insult him, I just don't think he's underrated, or the next Joe Montana.
