It's because a lot of non Cowboy fans don't watch Romo play, they hear the non sense the media spews and run with it. Most Cowboy fans who actually keep up with the team and watch all the games, think that Romo is a helluva QB. He may not be elite (Brady, Rodgers, Manning, Brees), but he's definitely one of the top notch QBs in the league.

lol Really? Have your read some Cowboy fans on this forum?

Apart from the question of ability, what surprises me is the negative perception of him as a person since he appears pretty likeable from my perspective.

Anyone in their right mind wouldn't dislike him as a person, even his biggest critics here can vouch that Romo is genuinely nice/good guy. People generally like to "go with the flow", and that very much applies here. Easiest way to find out the people who just "go with the flow", ask them, "why do you dislike him?" You'll get a, "uhhhh, well .... uhhhhh" response, it's because they don't actually know and it's the 'cool' thing to do. Same thing with voting, ect; It's funny when you ask someone who they voted for and why, and they can't even come up with a reason. That's a whole different topic, but the same concept applies.

I was wearing a Cowboys Hall of Famers shirt at the grocery store when one of the stock boys started giving me flak. A Lions fan, no less.

I was incredulous, but polite. (Like I need to debate a stock boy about the relative merits of the Cowboys and Lions franchises.)

"Actually," he said, "I always liked the Cowboys, until they got Tony Romo. That guy is the biggest crybaby ever."

Yep.

He'll probably be working for ESPN soon.

The nerve of that guy!!!

I hope you threw our multiple NFCCG and SB trips/victories in the last 15 years back in his face

That'll teach him

Stafford looks like more of a crybaby to me!

Romo's a cry baby?

Who was it that played against the 49ers with at least one fractured rib and led them to an Overtime win?

Who was it that played against the Commanders with a herniated disc in his back and led them to a 24-23 comeback win?

He also can box, taught by his military boxer father.

When you five see a 5 page thread about a Detroit Lions Fan, you know your Franchise has hit a new low.

I have very little ammunition left to defend this franchise so I refrain from engaging in smack talk anymore.

There's good and bad fans no matter what team. This guy is obviously a bad fan.

I've come to hate the Lions just for the sheer absurdity that happens when we play them...

I may not be a optimist on this board and some may see me as mostly negative(which is warranted by the teams past performances). I just don't like to put positive spins on everything for the sake of being positive and I call it how I see it.

But in the real world, if someone talked trash about my team I defend dallas to no end(within reason). **** that's lions fan.

Who did they beat then!?!?!?!?!

At least the Cowboys arrow was pointing up then. I'll take what we've achieved over their history any day. And our draft picks haven't been consistently top five, top ten, like theirs. We've done more with less, mediocrity and all. Hopefully our arrow will start pointing up again.

Hopefully our arrow is still pointing up again .... that tells a whole story within itself right there....most teams and most years in Dallas could swear the arrow is pointing up every...single...year...but not this time, the reality is that the Dallas Cowboys will be lucky to stumble into a 3-4 win Season and a Franchise QB, instead of a 5-11 to 8-8 non-QB draft choice.
