Former Cowboy Danny White saw every Tony Romo pass this season as the analyst for the club’s national radio broadcasts. He mostly loved what he saw.

“I’m not sure this team would have won more than three games this season with others at quarterback,” White said. “I’d like to see Peyton [Manning] or some others who aren’t mobile try to perform with what Tony had around him. And I just really liked the way he played the second half of this season, throwing out of the pocket, setting his feet, cutting the interceptions way down. I thought in many ways it was his best season.”

“If you broke down his first 16 interceptions this season, maybe 10 involved some breakdown and six were on him,” White said. “Last night, all three were on Tony. That last one where he didn’t set his feet and tried to throw over a guy, oh, it’s the same kind of throw he made against [the Giants’ Jason Pierre-Paul] that went for a touchdown.

“Every quarterback ought to be entitled to have a bad game. Now I know the next question is: Why does it have to be the biggest game?”

You're the man Danny.. but come on, now.

He speaks the truth. The protection he has in front of him is historically bad.

An annoying truth some fans don't want to admit.

QFT. I think Danny White's been reading my posts. What do you guys think?

[Doomsday101]

I think White is right. Last game Romo made the mistakes and paid for it. I heard he was so upset he threw his helmet and it got intercepted as well.

Such bs. Peyton reads defenses better and gets rid of the ball when he should. If we had Peyton we'd be in the playoffs. Only a fool would think otherwise.

Saying the team would have only won 3 games without Romo isn't the truth. Its a hypothetical load of bull.

The funny thing is that most of the us (and I really do mean most) were complaining about Jerry's lack of focus on the offensive line before the season started. Now it is like a forgotten thought that had little impact with the blame being thrown around from players to coaches.

A very true fact

Time to draft Romo's replacement either this year or next.

Time for you to support your local sheriff because he isn't leaving office anytime soon.

So white is saying we lost out on a top 5 pick that might actually turn franchise around. Was his article to supposed to make us feel better
