Romo, Witten: Racist?


Mr. Scot

Recommended Posts

(Screamin) Steven A Smith hinted, after a discussion with Terrell owens on ESPN Radio yesterday, that "some players" in the Cowboy locker room believe Tony Romo's preference for throwing to Jason Witten has less to do with Witten's receiving ability and more to do with their shared skin color.

Pretty obvious, I'd say. Romo also prefers to work with white guys like Roy Williams, Patrick Crayton and Marion Barber.

Wait... :confused:

My guess is his claim that "other players said the same thing" more likely boils down to Owens saying that he wasn't the only guy who "knew about it" and Smith just taking his word for it :rolleyes:

My favorite part of the whole saga: Owens talking about how things just seem to swirl around him stated (paraphrasing) "I'm the pitfall" :smilielol5:

(you'd think a man of his statue would have a better vocabulary)

Plus their tight end happens to be a beast who doesn't drop every ball that comes his way when he's not in the end zone, which T.O. does. Also helps control the clock, especially in the absence of Barber now. And Stephen A. Smith has to be the most hapless idiot ever to open his mouth on ESPN, and that's saying something. His delivery (the whole condescending, "I'm speaking to the biggest bunch of mouthbreathers and I'm pissed about it" thing) makes me want to harm myself and others.

Romo trusts Witten as much as anything because the two are friends. The notion that guys who get along off the field have better chemistry on the field has planty of validity (just look at Delhomme and Smith).

Bottom line though: As has been mentioned, they could be the biggest friends in the world and it wouldn't matter if Witten were constantly dropping the ball. With Witten, drops are the exception, not the rule. He's clutch. That's why Romo trusts him (and I would too).

The rest of this is probably BS. I'm just not sure who's making it up. Could be Smith, but the more likely guess is Owens.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
