I think they still should have given Romo his job back in the playoffs that year. Just because no rookie has ever won a Superbowl. So our best chance of winning it all was with Romo. But Zeke was a great pick, way better than that loud mouth CB some wanted.
In hindsight, the euphoria of watching a rookie quarterback having a historic first season was too enormous to offset. Of course, some observers mentioned repeatedly the odds of a rookie quarterback helping the team reach and possibly win the Super Bowl that season--
during that
regular season. So, the term 'hindsight' is not all-inclusive.
Jerry Jones and Jason Garrett placed their bet. A rookie quarterback
would lead his team to a Super Bowl appearance and hoped for victory. The other bet,
OMG!-ANOTHER INT-oh-no-Romo!-now-he's-paralyzed-for-real-typical-Poor Candice!, was trashed. What did the gamble prove in the end?
Answer: Jerry Jones had moved on to a new franchise quarterback. The result is the reason why I have zero problem with the few individuals EVERYWHERE who have said they did not believe a rookie quarterback would lead Dallas to a Super Bowl.
They simply wanted Romo replaced permanently.
That's honesty minus the euphoria.
