I disagree. He was also part of the problem this year. Don't forget the Jets game, Lions game, and JG not trusting him in the Patriots game to throw the ball at the end (Because of the epic failure against the Lions). Romo played well after that... but he certainly played a roll in this team being 8-8. And please don't talk about the comebacks against sorry below .500 teams. We shouldn't have had to come back. We should have put more points on the board in the first place.
1. Secondary
2. Defensive line
3. Offensive line
4. Romo
He played very well, for the most part. He's nowhere near the 4th most flawed thing on this team. You pretty much have to include almost every other aspect of the team ahead of him. Miles Austin's disappearance, Dez Bryant's invisibility, and Jason Witten's inevitable decline were more of a factor than Romo's mistakes.
It's cherrypicking to point out those 2 games, when you consider the epic meltdown of the rest of the team. And I've generally been very critical of Romo. Making insane mistakes is part of who he is, unfortunately, but it is for most QBs who aren't in that elite group at the top. There's a lot more good with him than not. You can point to a bunch of mistakes Matthew Stafford made as well, but at the end of the day, he was good enough to get his team to the playoffs, and played well in them if he'd had a defense.
Even if Romo forever stopped making plays like fumbling on the 1 yd line, the team would still be terminally ill. The entire organization is impossibly flawed because of the guy running it at the top. The OL, DL, Secondary and any other problems we have trace directly back to him. He creates a horrible environment, and it's obvious from everything that happens with the team. The notion that things were different in Dallas now died like the joke it was when he came down on the sidelines to tell Garrett that Romo wasn't going back in against Philly.
Every flaw in the team is relatively insignificant otherwise, because he (and the same group of guys from the last 5 years) are making the personnel decisions. He sets the tone at the top. Years of bad drafts, bad coaching hires, bad trades, bad free agent decisions. Having Roger Staubach or John Elway at QB wouldn't be able to overcome Jerry Jones.
You're just living in the moment like a lot of FANS here do. You never hear this nonsense when Rodgers is lighting it up for 350 plus and 4 TD's. Mark my words if Brady or Eli stumbles Sunday watch them get persecuted by the Romosexuals.
