Tony Romo

Dallas Cowboys

2009 Review

tony romo collage

Let's get real here. Not many people outside of Dallas like the Cowboys and thus, not many people like Tony Romo. His arrogant style might not be all that enjoyable outside the city-lines, but as he proved last season, his numbers on your fantasy team sure are. In order to succeed in fantasy football, you gotta push the heart aside and act with your head. For all of his critics, both on and off the field, Romo’s 2009 numbers should do a nice job of forcing them think twice about bashing him again. It might not have been the most consistent season, but not everyone can be a Troy Aikman. Speaking of Aikman, Romo set a Cowboys franchise record with 4,483 passing yards last year. Just sayin'.

One of the most publicized gripes about his game was that he fails in crunch-time, a critique to which Romo finally responded this year. With three games left to go and the Cowboys on the outside looking in, Romo led his team to three straight wins and not only made the playoffs at 11-5, but secured an NFC East title in the process. In addition, one of those games took down the then-undefeated Saints in New Orleans, while the final game of the year turned out to be a 24-0 drubbing of the then-division leading Eagles.

2010 Fantasy Outlook

Is Tony Romo a Top-10 place holder? Okay, unfair question. How bout this one. Is Romo a Top-5 fantasy QB? More realistic, but still, not really. We’d be extremely hard-pressed to put his name inside that realm. However, he is one of the few QBs in the league who can surprise and end up amongst that group during any given year. Even though he’s not the most consistent guy in the league, he’ll always get his chances as Jason Garrett, the Cowboys offensive coordinator, can’t wait to turn to the passing game no matter what the score or situation. The talented players around him and his gunslingers mentality provide him with the potential to put up big numbers in 2010, and there’s no doubt he is a starting fantasy QB in the league.

~ The offensive line is solid and will remain as such for another year in 2010

~ Miles Austin will start from the get-go and is one of the best young playmakers in the game

~ Jason Witten had an off season and will most certainly be better

~ Is this the year that Roy Williams’s talent finally comes out to play, or does Dez Bryant (aka Randy Moss' brother) end up taking over the WR2 role?

~ The Cowboys are sure to use Felix Jones out of the backfield more this year, which only adds to Romo’s possibilities

Contract

Romo enters the 3rd year of that monster $67.4 million dollar contract extension he signed back in October of ‘07. Here is how it pays out:

2010 - $8.5 million

2011 - $9 million

2012 - $9 million

2013 - $11.5 million

2014 - Free Agent

He is plenty motivated to continue to produce. His contract is a non-issue.

Spread The Fire

Handcuff

Jon Kitna - Kitna is the backup to Romo and is a very solid handcuff. Once you have at least three RBs, two QBs, one TE, and four WRs, go ahead and buy this insurance package.

Romo knows Women

A lot has changed since 2008 when Romo missed three games, played miserably, still produced 26 TDs and almost 3500 yards, and dated Jessica Simpson. His critics will assert that he exercised poor judgment going on a vacation with Simpson and the twins the week before a playoff game a couple of years ago, but we can’t seem to find fault in that maneuver. Last year, he proved he could take the league, his team, and the position he plays more seriously. Now he just needs another WAG by his side and he'd be set. We really have no concerns about that though, given the fact that his resume also includes Carrie Underwood. Just hope he takes the next blonde bombshell to Mexico motor-boating with her built-in floatation device in the offseason.

Lucky guy...

Apparantly Burger King didn't think so.

The T.O. days

For those of you who feel nostalgic and want to relive the T.O.-Tony Romo days:

Then...

As is widely known, Romo did just fine without T.O. last year. He threw for 1000 more yards (albiet in 3 more games) and had the same amount of TDs that should only increase with Dez Bryant on the squad now. His completion percentage increased and his interceptions went down. There ain't no T.O. fallout here.

Romo missed games for the first time in his career in 2008, though not enough to warrant a yellow light at this point.

Pro Bowl: Tony Romo takes Favre's spot expand +

Vikings quarterback Brett Favre was beaten up so badly by the Saints last weekend that he has decided not to play in his 11th Pro Bowl this Sunday. His replacement is the guy he faced and destroyed two weeks ago in the playoffs, Dallas QB Tony Romo.

Pyro's Take:

Supposedly Favre injured both wrists, both ankles, one of his legs, and his head in the game against the Saints last Sunday. After watching that game, this might be the first time we can say that we actually believe him.

Wade Phillips will return as Cowboys head coach in '10 expand +

According to a source high up within the Dallas organization, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has decided to pick up the option on coach Wade Phillips' contract for 2010.

Pyro's Take:

No official statement has been made by the team yet, but this looks to be a done deal. Phillips wasn't just the coach this year, but also took on the defensive coordinator responsibilities while leading the Cowboys to the 2nd ranked defense behind the NY Jets. He also led the team to their first playoff win in 13 seasons and has compiled a 33-15 regular season record while capturing two NFC East titles in his three-year tenure.

Romo's back no longer an issue expand +

According to Cowboys coach Wade Phillips, quarterback Tony Romo's injured back is doing just fine and will not be an issue heading into Week 13.

Pyro's Take:

Yep, sounds about right. He looked just fine in topping 300 yards last Thursday, so we expect him to be good for the game against the Giants this weekend.
Romo was embarrassed on national TV in their first match-up back in Week 2, so expect him to want to dish out a little payback this week. He'll be a solid fantasy football start against a beatable Giants secondary.

Romo ready to go on Thanksgiving expand +

When asked about his recent back injury on Wednesday, Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo (back) was quoted as saying, "We're improving each day and I think we'll be ready to go tomorrow for sure."

Pyro's Take:

Romo will be playing tomorrow, but we're still unsure whether his favorite outlet, Jason Witten, will be available. The Cowboys are likely to spend a bunch of the game running the ball, so Romo probably won't exceed his normal fantasy football expectations.

Romo looks ok to start Thanksgiving Day expand +

Cowboys coach Wade Phillips told the media Monday that he is confident quarterback Tony Romo will be starting on Thanksgiving Day after taking a knee to the back last Sunday, while Romo himself said he "definitely will be playing" against the Raiders.

Pyro's Take:

Romo will be just fine for the Week 12 game, though he may not be a recommended fantasy football start against a tough Raiders secondary. Look for the Cowboys to run all day long against the 30th ranked rush D this Thursday.

Romo and Williams still not on same page expand +

Despite connecting for a 7-yard touchdown on Sunday, Cowboys QB Tony Romo and WR Roy Williams are still off in terms of their connection.
"I don't know what it is," Williams said. "We worked early in the off-season, came in a month before everybody, throwing every day. He throws to me every day, and it's just not there right now."

Pyro's Take:

Williams had seven targets in the game, but only came away with two catches for 19 yards. Williams is hardly playable on your fantasy football team right now and might be considered the biggest bust in the game at this point.

Romo second in SI's "most overrated player" players' poll expand +

Each year, Sports Illustrated conducts a poll to see who NFL players consider to be the most overrated player in the league. This year's poll had Brett Favre finishing first, with Tony Romo, Terrell Owens, Eli Manning, and Ben Roethlisberger rounding out the top-5.

Pyro's Take:

The poll, according to SI, was completed before the NFL's Week 2 games, and after what Favre has done the past two weeks, we're betting that some players are wishing they had their vote back.
Hey, at least they got Romo and Owens right.

Cowboys wide receiver Roy Williams ended up with cartilage damage to three of his ribs when he was crushed by LB D.J. Williams while going up for an errant pass by QB Tony Romo.

Pyro's Take:

Romo should get a nice Christmas present this year from Roy in the form of a good old fashioned ass-whooping. Romo continues to slide down fantasy football depth charts and is taking Roy down with him.

Cowboys wide receiver Roy Williams went up for an overthrown ball by QB Tony Romo that nearly got him split in two. "Never in my life have I been hit like that, from Pop Warner through my six years in the league," Roy Williams said. "I'm 5,280 feet above sea level with asthma, so I was obviously hurting."

Pyro's Take:

Not only do fans and Cowboys legends want to kick his ass, but now it seems his own teammates want him taken behind the shed as well. With Romo playing as bad as he is, Roy is no more than low-end WR3 on your fantasy football team at this point.

Tests on Romo's ankle show no structural damage expand +

Updating a news-breaker from earlier today, the MRI taken on the ankle of Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo showed no structural damage. The injury is a normal sprain and he should be able to start next week's game against the Giants.

Pyro's Take:

Romo had a fantasy dream debut to the 2009 season and all systems look to be a go for Week 2. The match-up isn't nearly as favorable as last week's, but the Giants secondary is a little banged up so Romo should be able to put up some good fantasy numbers once again.

Romo throwing well in preseason expand +

Dallas Cowboys QB Tony Romo completed 18-of-24 passes for 192 yards in the preseason game against Tennessee on Friday night.

Pyro's Take:

Romo continues to show that the loss of Terrell Owens doesn't mean a thing as he lights up the preseason with his precision passing. Romo is now 22-of-30 for 228 yards and a TD in just under three quarters of action in the preseason. Dallas is said to be running a ball-control type of offense this year, but it's tough to tell with the amount of passes Romo is tossing around. Keep him high on your charts hovering around the five slot for QBs this year.

Romo and Williams clicking expand +

Dallas Cowboys QB Tony Romo and WR Roy Williams have finally developed some on-field chemistry and "both of them seem to be on the same page more than they have been," coach Wade Phillips said.

Pyro's Take:

Romo also acknowledged the duo's increased chemistry, saying, "we definitely need to have good chemistry and have good correlation as to what we are both going to do consistently, and I think we’re good now." Last year, Williams caught only 16 balls for 160 yards and zero touchdowns from Romo in eight games, so the two definitely need to find a rhythm if Dallas is to succeed.
