ieatcrayonz Posted November 24, 2006 Posted November 24, 2006 ESPN put up an interesting stat on SportsCenter today. They listed the QB's who had a 5 TD game before they were 25. Here is the list Romo Kurt Warner Cuaozzo Van Brocklin So he is in a group of four with one guy who had a good, but short, run and then fell flat, and two other guys that no one has ever heard of. Plus, when Warner was with the Rams there was a ton of talent around him. Dallas is good, but not that good. I think it is just a coincidence and Romo might or might not do well, but that is a pretty poor group right there.

Florida_BillsFan Posted November 24, 2006 Posted November 24, 2006 hooking up with jessica simpson will spell the end for this guy. just ask nick lachey. 846864[/snapback] Now that there is sufficient film on Romo - his opponents will game plan to shut him down. Stick a fork in him...............

JM57 Posted November 24, 2006 Posted November 24, 2006 Now that there is sufficient film on Romo - his opponents will game plan to shut him down. Stick a fork in him............... 846871[/snapback] There's 10 years of game film on Manning. When is someone going to shut him down? and it's not just Manning. I could pick any starting QB in the NFL and plug it into this sentence... There's (x) years of game film on (starting QB). Do they get shut down every week?
keepthefaith Posted November 24, 2006 Posted November 24, 2006 hooking up with jessica simpson will spell the end for this guy. just ask nick lachey. 846864[/snapback] If he is dating her, that has to drive Parcells nuts. He hates stuff like that. Must be driving Drew nuts too. Romo has his job and the girl!

ieatcrayonz Posted November 24, 2006 Author Posted November 24, 2006 Are you serious? You've never heard of Norm Van Brocklin????????? 846882[/snapback] Was he the guy that made that big comeback on Thanksgiving for Dallas against the Redskins when Staubach got hurt? I thought his name was Clint Van Brocklin.

ieatcrayonz Posted November 24, 2006 Author Posted November 24, 2006 Warner didn't play in the NFL until he was 27 and didn't start until 28.http://www.nfl.com/players/playerpage/12797 846925[/snapback] I think it said in their first season, not under 25. My mistake. The main point still holds. No one has ever heard of the other two and Warner had such a great team.
BuffaloWings Posted November 24, 2006 Posted November 24, 2006 There's 10 years of game film on Manning. When is someone going to shut him down? and it's not just Manning. I could pick any starting QB in the NFL and plug it into this sentence... There's (x) years of game film on (starting QB). Do they get shut down every week? 846879[/snapback] True....but while the opponents make adjustments to the QB, the great QBs adjust to those adjustments. Manning (Peyton) being one of them. I'll wait and see what happens when opposing defenses are able to shut him down. If Romo bounces back from those games and makes the appropriate adjustments, then I'll start to give him the benefit of the doubt. While he's having a good run right now, I think the jury is still out on him - and will be for a while.
mike1011 Posted November 24, 2006 Posted November 24, 2006 Warner would've been good if his thumb didn't break so many times. Warner didn't lose it, he lost his physical ability, his spiral, and his confidence.
CFLstyle Posted November 24, 2006 Posted November 24, 2006 If he is dating her, that has to drive Parcells nuts. He hates stuff like that. Must be driving Drew nuts too. Romo has his job and the girl! 846881[/snapback] I don't think Parcells will have any problem with it whatsoever after how he played on Thursday. Gotta stick with what works!
Alaska Darin Posted November 24, 2006 Posted November 24, 2006 How come no one is talking about how bad Dallas' OLine sucks now that their non-statuesque QB is throwing TD passes all over the place?

Cornerville Posted November 24, 2006 Posted November 24, 2006 How come no one is talking about how bad Dallas' OLine sucks now that their non-statuesque QB is throwing TD passes all over the place? 847096[/snapback] Same thing happened here with RJ and Flutie in 1998
MarkyMannn Posted November 24, 2006 Posted November 24, 2006 Romo destined for failure? Yeah, if Parcells hires a new OC named Mike Mularkey
Lofton80 Posted November 25, 2006 Posted November 25, 2006 Most impressive thing about Romo thus far is that he has 9 td's to 1 int in the red zone where many QB's struggle. I keep waiting for his bubble to burst.
