What's next for Michael Vick? Will NFL open its doors to him?

[J.T.]

Michael Vick hasn't played professional football for years...he is out of game shape. When he was playing, yes, he was a better athlete than Romo. Better QB? No...not even close. Vick was lucky that the Atlanta Falcons thought enough of him to completely build the entire team's philosophy around Vick's game, which was based around him running the ball. Teams aren't going to put their entire team and franchise on Vick's back anymore...he's not the same...You sound like every other bag who puts the blame of the entire team on one player. Two years ago, if Patrick Crayton catches a ball put right into his hands, the Cowboys beat the Giants in the first round, and we're not even discussing these "failures." In every playoff game Romo's played, other players on the team made mistakes which also caused the loss..it's not all on Tony. I love how you mentioned Peyton Manning, because that just proves my point. Peyton took several playoff games to win one...Romo's going to be fine. Throwing to Witten too much? Damn..now you sound like T.O....Romo threw the ball to Terrell more than Witten last year..Witten just caught the ball more. If you have an issue with a TE who catches the ball as often as Witten, and can run as fast and hit as hard as him, you've got issues..Every team in the NFL would love to have that problem. Tony throws to the guy who's open. This year, with the best RB committee in the league, the Boys are going to run the ball right down the throat of the rest of the league, and just when they don't expect it, deep ball to Roy Williams, or Post or Slant to Witten. Say what you want...the season will prove me right..

You sound like every other Cowboys fan who buys Super Bowl tickets in August and wonders why Tony Romo isn't on the field when you go there in February.

Blake was right. Smells like homer in here.

[howbouthemspurs]

He dosent even deserve to be free let alone be in the NFL. He is pure evil!

[DAF86]

I hope he goes to a team where he can play as the starting QB (even if that team sucks), I know what he did was wrong but it's a lot of fun to see him play.

Still blows my mind that people think Vick is Satan when they kill greyhounds and horses that can't race anymore. Seriously people, it's not like Vick came into your house and slaughtered Trixie the Golden Retriever with a rusty steak knife. The man got caught, did his time and is free now. Let it go.

[samikeyp]

To be fair though, your hatred for the Cowboys is noted on this bored so you have a bias against them..but its still a bias. Why is one bias ok and one not? I have often wondered that....being a "homer" is an insult but being the other extreme seems to be accepted.


That being said, I think when Vick was active in the league I put him ahead of Romo. Being out two years, I don't think its accurate to put him anywhere just yet until he can prove himself again. He has the potential to be great again but he has to get back on the field.

Agreed. The man did everything required of him by our system of justice, a system that is based on the notion that you serve your punishment and you go back to society. He did that. I don't like what he did and think the punishment was warranted but its over now and he has the right to pursue employment.

Fail!

I agree with JT on the Blind homer vision but I also agree with Mike. I admit I see Romo with hater blinders on but I try to be as unbiased as possible. Yes the guy has great stats in the beginning of the season but he dropps off bad the last 2 months of the season and has ed big time in the playoffs. Question for you cowboys fans. if Romo drops the ball again this year, will you be ready to pull the plug on him? What if the boys dont make playoffs, is Romo done?

[Dr. Gonzo]

Romo is the next Brett Farve.

I wish I had a ing nickle every time I heard that bull .

Is he done? Probably not, his contract will prevent that.

It depends on what level of success he achieves. If they get to the playoffs and actually win a game, then I will still be on board but that, to me, has to be the minimum.

[samikeyp]

Romo is the next Brett Farve.

Me too.

There will never be another Brett Favre...nor should there be.

Not really.

Yeah he had the botched snap, but in the playoffs Romo has done pretty well.

It's not like he s his pants completely, he's throw 2 TD's compared to 1 INT, and that 1 INT was at the end of the Giants game where he had to pretty much force a pass in there on 4th down that virtually had no chance

He buckled when they needed him most 2 years in a row bottom line!! They lost and he has yet to taste playoff victory so in my eyes HE ED UP. He is the leader, he is the QB. He is the captain of the boat, if he sinks so does the team.

[SpuronyourFace]

Don't tell me to stay away from the NFL forum because I see Romo for what he is and not through star-shaped glasses. I think Vick is a better athlete and better quarterback than Romo, he just did something stupid and had to do the time for it. If Vick truly wants to return to the NFL then I have to believe he's been doing something to keep his body in shape while he's been out of the NFL. Romo's got a quick release and is good on his feet but he's not a guy I would want making decisions in the clutch. He's a proven regular season winner and playoff failure. I was actually having a discussion with someone the other day, and now that Peyton Manning has his ring, Romo or McNabb are the logical heirs to the "Can't Win The Big One" monkey on their backs. Just deal with it. He's your quarterback, and you have to deal with him throwing to Witten too much and likely singlehandedly destroying another Cowboys season. At least he got paid.

Vick > Romo

/thread

You clearly have blind hatred for the Cowboys and thats okay..guess what we love that. We love mattering to not only our own fans, but to causual fans aswell, such as yourself. But you are just talking out of your ass and you know that. The fact that you are arguing for Mike Vick proves that. He is obviously done as a player or you would not want him to play for Dallas.

Romo has been given the reigns for at least 6 years. Im willing to let the guy's career pan out before I pass a judgement on him. But Im a Cowboy fan, I can do that. But don't deny the guy's talent, for 's sake, his career QB rating is 94.1. You know he has it, you just dont' want to admit it. You'd love to see the Cowboys fail year in and year out because, quite simply, the Cowboys matter to you.

In the seattle game he ed up in the rain. The year after, they just lost to a team of destiny in the Giants. Last year we faced a load of injuries and YES, the TEAM just quit at the end. it was a broken team. No QB in the league could of won in that situation. To many distractions off the field and T.O. will do that to a team. But to put it into the context of "failing", there are 31 QBs in the league that fail each and every year.

But you think we are ready to give up on Romo??? A guy who has been among league leaders in most statistical passing categories, and is mentioned right behind guys like Brady, Peyton, and Ben. Ha ha ha... you man, you.

Go ahead now, retort with some sort of idiocy, we love the hate...

[samikeyp]

Football is a team game. One player does not cause a win or loss. That being said, quarterbacks are the only position on the field judged by wins and losses. They get too much of the credit when their team wins and too much blame when their team loses. A QB could throw for 300 yds, 4 TD's no picks and if his team loses, its his fault? No.

On offense he handles the ball after the snap on every play so they should be judged heavier than any other position. I get what your saying but if throws for 300s yds, 4 td's and no picks but fails to get the vital 1st down in the 4th, then YES he is more to blame than any other player on the field. Is he 100% to blame no but he has to be mentally strong for his team. All I have to say is watch the Giants vs Pats sb again. Eli took matters in his own hands and didnt give up those last 2 mins. Granted that one catch by I forget his name was amazing and soo lucky, but Eli was the one that kept that drive moving.

Hope your talking about first half Romo cause 2nd half Romo is mentioned with all the scrubs. When its all said and done we will see if your homer ass is still singing that same tune about Romo.

If he puts the ball in the hands of the receiver and the receiver drops it trying to get that vital 1st down...not his fault. Then again, if his team performs properly throughout the game, it wouldn't and shouldn't come down to that one play.

I agree with you mike but I still feel that the QB is the captain on off so he need to be able to lead his team. Yes if his RB fumbles or his center bobbles the snap or the WR drops it, he shouldnt be blamed but he ultimately holds the key.

You're right. He is the leader of the team but its a team game. I would like to see Romo get in some guys faces more. We don't see him in the locker room though so maybe he does. I do know this much. If they don't make the playoffs or putz out in them again, Phillips will be gone and Garrett might be with him.

[dirk4mvp]

The 44-6 game might as well have been a playoff game. He was awesome.

I've heard that exact same quote before...do you just copy and paste? If you really think a guy who hasn't played in the NFL for years could play better than a guy who has had nothing but winning seasons since he's been a starter, including a 13-3 season, you're out of your freaking mind..but I think it's obvious you're out of your mind anyway, so what I'm saying shouldn't be much of a surprise. I'm not a homer...I'm the guy who was asking why the Cowboys are always hated on when we haven't won a playoff game since 1996...I don't understand it..yet it continues...but people like you who hate the Cowboys are the reason we continue to get more and more fans, so keep it up....and when the Cowboys (note I said, the COWBOYS, not just Romo) get over the hump and finally get that playoff win, we'll start our run..pun intended (Barber, Felix, Choice)

Mikey, it's not worth it..these guys are Cowboy haters, and they always will be....They're going to blast Romo left and right, even though this is a team sport. They obviously have never played the game...

lol cowboys

Briggity brah,

I've been posting in here for four or five NFL seasons now. I've lost count. Put your casual fan nonsense in your pipe and smoke it. I'm not Joe Colts Homer who jerks off to Peyton Manning commercials (but that guy's pretty good if you like 6'5", 230 pound quarterbacks. Laser, rocket arm) and mangasms to the 35 TDs he throws every year. That's dirk4mvp.

I hate the Cowboys for reasons other than them being the sixth major sport on the ESPN ticker, behind NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL and Brett Favre. Someone else can explain why, if you really care to know. Quite frankly I'm done explaining to John Doe Cowboy Fan why a born and raised Texan like me doesn't root for God's team. I've attended games in three stadiums that no longer exist, and your precious Texas Stadium was one of them. So gtfo with your bull please. I'm on record saying I was wrong about Tony Romo being a bust too, I just think he has no balls and can't win playoff games.

I'm just like tlongII lite, I troll without logging into another screen name. Thanks for taking the bait though. Good luck this season. You're gonna need it.
