Yes for sure but all of the best teams we had during the time since then had r omo at the helm...except 2016.

Not blaming r omo in any way but saying it was sad to see a player that good never get to at least a nfc championship game
I think it was sadder for fans than it was Romo who was paid handsomely having quite a career over achieving for a undrafted QB. He was only sad when he wasn’t provided the opportunity to play.

Handsomely is a understatement. 127 million is sweet for a undrafted player. Not sure if there is another undrafted player ever to get paid that much.

I don't know....once you make a certain amount of money then other things you can't purchase become more important....i also think Romo regrets not leading the team to a championship because of the guys around him too....he might feel like he let them down too. ..pure speculation

I am sure Romo and Witten and Ware wanted it bad when they played together.

I am excited! This could be amazing

Entitle it "An NFL Life: Close But No Cigar."
Camera pans the field, zeroes in on a lone player, Romo.
In John Facenda voice we hear ...
"It is a long, lonely walk from the 30 yard line to the endzone. On a graaaay afternoon, when a spiral went to the defender's chest and he ran it back for a pick6, one Tony Romo asks, 'why me'?)
Yes, 'why me' the walkon from Eastern Illinois asks. 'WE have to do better,' the QB, who is now 2-4 in postseason games mutters..."

Ah, I cannot wait. A documentary about one man's futility ...

Steve Sabol (miss that guy) tracks the errant pass while tinkly piano keys play. The ball hits a defender and the camera, in slo no, tracks the runner. Romo looks down, Dez shows an angry, accusatory face and Garrett claps encouragement...

OK, somebody bring up Marino....:D
Let's see who does.

Sure, but regrets and disappointment doesn’t = sadness.

Jerry is the one who’s sorry for letting them down.

I’m not sure what undrafted Hall Of Famers Kurt Warner and Warren Moon we’re paid but I’d assume near the top of their profession at the time as was Romo.

And I don’t believe Romo recieved all of that 127 million?

Not anywhere close, unless you’re adjusting for inflation (and probably not even then). Warner’s career earnings weren’t even bigger than Romo’s first contract extension back in 2007.
Romo will probably be the top one for a good long while until another undrafted QB comes out of nowhere and then plays well enough to string together a couple of contracts. Undrafted guys at other positions aren’t nearly as big of a unicorn, but they don’t make QB money.

Yes . That was my intention. “ top of their profession”. Inflation is applicable.
