Default Why are there people bashing Romo?

He is still a first year starter isn't he? He did get the team to the playoffs?

Granted his level of play has dipped...but it isn't all on him.

I have yet to jump on his bandwagon, but I'm trying to understand why so many here trash him so much. He is basically a rookie. He has the tools to be great. He also has heart.

I thought this season was over when Bledsoe was benched. But the one thing that has kept this season from outright making me crazy is Romo.

I hope he succeeds in the league.

I don't get it. He may be the only QB in the league that could have made that play in the endzone. he led two FANTASTIC 4th quarter drives and was willing to sacrifice his body to get the win. He came up one yard short of being a hero.

Because any game in which your QB fumbles the ball 4 times he deserves to get some garbage tossed his way.

Because Romo couldn't generate a pass rush.....or cover Furrey or Williams or the other Williams...

The offense/special teams didn't help with giving the Lions 4 drives starting inside our 40.

The defense sucked, but they definitely weren't alone.

They have forgotten how bad Bledsoe sucked.

I do find it funny the QB who saved the season is quick to get blamed when our underacheiving D has given up 132 points in the last four games (33 points per game in the last 4).........but yeah, it's Romo's fault....please.


Playmaker!

So, because he might be the future QB no one is allowed to say he had a bad game when he did?
