Default FWST: Cowboys so confident in Romo they’ve talked extension

The Cowboys are 3-4 and quarterback Tony Romo leads the league with 13 interceptions.

So naturally, they want to keep him forever.

According to Clarence Hill of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, team vice president Stephen Jones has begum preliminary talks on an extension that would keep him in Dallas until he retires. Romo’s under contract through the end of the 2013 season.

“We still feel that way,” Jones said. “We’ve got a lot of confidence in Tony. Tony has a lot of confidence in himself. He is going to be fine. He is not the problem.”

Not extending Romo would be one of the stupidest things any team has ever done.

I've got some things to say about Stephen Jones, but I'll wait until after the Atlanta game. I think # 28 will "talk" first and do it in that game.

Stephen Jones sure sounds delusional. The Cowboys are a weekly train wreck waiting to happen, and the coddling of Tony Romo is embarrassing.

Here is a hint:

I've seen years of horrible snaps sailing past Romo's hands, him having to physically walk a WR to where he should be lined up, countless false starts and delay of game calls, and frustration over coaches not getting the play in on time. He's done a remarkable job with what he's had, and perhaps he has taken a step back this year. But I would still bet on him trying to compete, and I think he has several good years left in him. He and Witten will set a lot of records in Dallas before its done... Winning a ring of course would be better.

Gruden loves Romo. I can't believe people want Romo gone. Amazing. He's the only chance we have. Only.

If anything Romo should want to leave. The dude is getting killed, on the field AND in the media.

It's amazing how quickly everyone has forgotten the Quincy/Hutch/Vinny/Deadslow days.

This is bullcrap.

QB Tony Romo has played 4 "Win or Go Home" games since 2008 (includes 2 playoff gms) -- in 3 of them, his QBR was less than 20"
