Terrence Newman was a good player people hated for not being a great player. That's a common disease among post-1996 Cowboys fans. I never had any real beef with him honestly or understood the hate. It reeked of "I decided the guy is a bum so I'll start fishing for reasons to hate him." Kind of like how people dogged Ware late in his Cowboys career, only for him to play well and get a ring elsewhere.
I put Crayton on the sh list more than anybody because
he ran his mouth a lot like a cut-rate TO and then choked in games. At least with TO you can say he was an overpowering talent who played hard - look at his Super Bowl performance where he gutted out a major injury and the Patriots
still couldn't guard him. Even if he was a long term liability, on game day TO would fight for the ball at least.
Maybe I'm weird, but I usually don't hold single plays against guys that much. The Jackie Smith drop was really egregious though so I get why it lives in infamy. The Romo bad snap sucked, but ultimately you're dogging a quarterback over a decade later for being a holder which is just weird as hell.
Tony Romo - I just think he never reached his potential. The guy could play. The Mexico thing. The conditioning. His lack of leadership. The blow ups in big moments.
Not all his fault but I think he was good but could have been great.
Quarterbacks don't develop in a vacuum. He spent most of his career being "developed" by bums that the fanbase rightly despises for constantly wasting talent. It's not a coincidence that Tom Brady developed like he did when he was coached up by the best to ever stand on the sidelines.
It's almost like there's a cause-effect relationship there.
