Get better, get better, get better. All. Season. Long. Get better as the year goes on.

Everyday it's all we heard from Jason Garrett, Tony Romo, this guy, that guy. Just about everyone in the locker room took it up as a personal motto, or default answer to questions from reporters.

Some guys did, though. Here are the five who improved their play most as the year went along.

QB Tony Romo - Long derided as a guy who falls apart in big games late in the season, he was actually at his worst in September and early October. He had the awful finish at the Jets in the opener and facilitated the collapse against Detroit in Week 4. But as he got healthy, his play improved, and he cut out the turnovers that had been a problem. In those last five games, his rating was a superb 115.9.

WR Laurent Robinson - The deeper into the season the Cowboys got, the more Robinson was depended upon offensively. An under-the-radar pickup who was actually released then brought back, he quickly picked up the offense and gained more of Romo's trust each week.

I think that it is relevant to note that three youngsters: Tyron Smith, Lissimore, and Carter were shown to have improved over the season. It is worth noting that Laurent Robinson continually showed up even after being released early on. And that the final picture for improvement over the full season was Tony Romo.

Tony Romo is still being coached up and the rest of the group proved effective scouting and player acquisition.

Good article and I definately think it's a great thing for a team when their QB, whose already darn good, can still be improving and is seen as improving each year. It never hurts for your most important player to continue to get better and better.
