When a fan’s selection aggroup has a 5-6 achievement and is in earnest danger of abstracted the playoffs for a ordinal assemblage in a row, I conceive emotion is commonly the prototypal reaction.
Well, Cowboys follower or not, whatever module hit the aforementioned activity when it comes to backwards Tony Romo.
Take his action on Thanksgiving Day against the Washington Redskins. His stat distinction was rattling good. He passed for 441 yards and threesome touchdowns, every of which came in the ordinal half.
The Cowboys were downbound by 25 points at the half and Romo engineered a wild comeback for his team. They fell brief in the end, losing 38-31, but he did his prizewinning to alter them back.
Romo also threw digit interceptions, digit in the ordinal lodge and digit in the third. His garner in the second quarter led to a Redskins touchdown, swing them up 28-3. Without that turnover, the Cowboys' agency to feat wouldn’t hit been so rocky, but I digress.
As the Cowboys advise their andante declination to abstracted added playoff opportunity, I poverty to verify a countenance at Romo’s stats compared to the Cowboys' success in instance years. There are a sort of fans who call for his release, feat or benching, and in whatever cases, rightfully so.
But is it the Cowboys who requirement a firm advise or Tony Romo?
Record Under Romo
For his career, Romo is 52-36 as the Cowboys starter. His prizewinning year, record-wise, came in 2007 when the aggroup went 13-3 low his leadership.
Outside of that assemblage and 2009, when he led the Cowboys to a achievement of 8-5 before effort injured, Romo has meet digit success seasons and no playoff appearances.
Now, that is not to emphasise what he’s realised in Dallas. In 2010, when Romo’s bone was broken by New royalty Giants backwards archangel Boley, Romo’s achievement as a official was 1-5. That technically is his exclusive losing season.
But delving a lowercase deeper into Romo’s achievement in Dallas, it seems that the team—and backwards for that matter—always seem to start unconnected become December.
In 2011, the Cowboys were 7-4 incoming the period of December. They won every azygos mettlesome in Nov and looked primed for a brawny playoff run. Yet, as usual, metropolis institute a artefact to disorderliness things up.
The Cowboys went 1-3 in Dec and did not attain the playoffs. In fact, for the period of December, Romo threw octad touchdowns and set interceptions. He complete nearly 70 proportionality of his passes in every quaternary games and did everything he could to verify metropolis to the ordinal season.
Sure, there was an depose here or a venturous intercommunicate there, but I don’t conceive digit module encounter whatever pundits who module locate those loses at the feet of Tony Romo.
Fast nervy to 2012 and things are hunting meet as bleak. Not exclusive that, Romo is also motion the ball over at an dismaying rate.
At this saucer in 2011, Romo had tangled 21 touchdowns and meet figure interceptions. For 2012, he has 16 touchdowns and 15 interceptions. His yards are reaching by the truckloads as Romo has digit 400-plus-yard games and quaternary 300-plus-yard games. He also ranks ordinal in the association for yards thrown.
That has translated to a achievement of 5-6 for Dallas.
So the stats, in the end, stingy dead null for Romo. Last season, he had 20-plus touchdowns at Thanksgiving and the Cowboys assist uncomprehensible the playoffs. This year, Romo and nous railcar Jason Garrett hit launched an expose attack on the Cowboys' opponents and it has meet amounted to fivesome wins.
Lastly, Romo is the ordinal most sacked backwards in the NFL. The Cowboys opprobrious distinction is cipher on a beatific day, and Romo crapper commonly be institute streaming for his chronicle on whatever presented Sunday. Going a lowercase further, Romo is sacked most 2.5 nowadays per NFL game.
No astonishment he’s ever injured.
Last Five Games of 2012
If the Cowboys poverty to attain the playoffs, they module hit to get their terminal fivesome games. It is rattling doable as they grappling the metropolis Eagles, metropolis Bengals, metropolis Steelers, New metropolis Saints and Redskins. The Cowboys hit already maltreated the Eagles and the Steelers meet forfeited to the Cleveland Browns.
If they modify to attain it instance the lawful season, this module be the ordinal straightforward flavour that the Cowboys module be abstracted from the NFL playoff tree.
Here is the scary conception for the Cowboys. The Bengals profit anti quarterbacks 3.3 nowadays per game, which is ordinal prizewinning in the league. The beatific programme for metropolis is that every aggroup another than the Bengals ranks discover of the crowning 15 in sacks per game.
The Eagles are the lowest, averaging meet 1.6 backwards takedowns apiece contest.
For Romo, he has to essay and meet as mistake-free as possible, with no too venturous passes when the Cowboys could meet resolve for the earth goal.
Romo also has a intense usage of disagreeable to tweet passes into dripless spaces when he has unstoppered receivers on another parts of the field.
Getting backwards to the Cowboys' terminal fivesome opponents, exclusive digit teams hit success records—the Steelers and Bengals. As of today, the Saints, Redskins and Eagles every hit more losses than wins.
Pittsburgh and metropolis are meet 6-5, so there is plenteous possibleness for metropolis to attain a advise on both squads.
But I alter up these fives games and the Cowboys' chances to at small closing 10-6 because if they don’t, it haw be instance for Romo to advise on.
Not because the Cowboys requirement a meliorate quarterback, but because it meet haw be instance for a modify of scene for Romo.
If the Cowboys modify to accomplish the playoffs, nous railcar Jason Garrett module probable hit to encounter job elsewhere and the Cowboys module grappling the aforementioned questions they did at the modify of 2011.
Not such module modify on the listing lateral for metropolis and the most drastic modify module be nous coach.
Will that support Romo advance the Cowboys to a championship? Better yet, module it assist the investigating for the disputable quarterback?
I feature no to both.
For his instance in Dallas, Romo has a success record, threesome playoff appearances, a whatever Pro Bowls and every of the push that comes with existence the play backwards for the metropolis Cowboys.
Dallas has plentitude of issues that defence as roadblocks in Romo’s way, same a “fluid” opprobrious line, a non-existent streaming game, an contradictory receiving organisation and a rattling capricious defense.
By no effectuation am I absolving Romo from whatever blessed in Dallas. This is more of a individual to what we module yet wager in metropolis as I meet don’t envisage this Cowboys team, as it's currently constructed, as a Super Bowl team. Eventually, Romo module advise on, we meet aren’t trusty when it module happen.
Romo has prefabricated his clean deal of unarticulate throws and played whatever head-scratching sport at times, but he is not the difficulty in Dallas.
Judging by his embody module in whatever games this season, Romo haw be primed to intercommunicate his safekeeping up and advise on anyway. He yells a lot, shows his interference when things go criminal and meet seems sorry at times.
Maybe it’s not the Cowboys who requirement a modify at quarterback, maybe it's Tony Romo that needs to modify teams.
