Have you seen the list of QBs that won a Super Bowl just by bus driving. Trent Dilfer won a Super Bowl for goodness sake and you think Dak can’t. If our Defense from earlier in the season returns to form we have a chance. Loved Romo….but again we keep getting snake bit for the same reasons. D dense…

Remember when Romo threw 5 interceptions and fumbled away a turnover and still managed the win against the Bills? That was insane.

But @America's Cowboy says that Romo went Hollywood and did not want to really win. Plus he went to Cabo...and he had famous girlfriends, and, and, and this and that. So I guess according to AC Romo sucks! Yeah, that is what you call an american cowboy fan. pfffft. But, Dak...he can do nothing wrong aside from all the commercials.

I remember that.......it defined the "Brett Favre" mentality.......sling it all over the place. MNF. With the win, it may have harmed TRomo more than it did him some good.

Now if the refs reeeeeeeally had it in for the Cowboys, this was as easy a call as there was.

Am I right?

Sadly, Cowboy trolls where 100 million times worse on Romo then they've ever been on Dak. I defended Tony so much that I just don't have it in me to do it for Dak. He's on his own with these morons. I think most level headed folk realize that Dak isn't going to be a super star and he's also not going to be the reason your team loses.

Saying all that... He also ain't no Romo. Romo could carry a team and he did for years. When I'm gray and old I will always be sad that Witten and Romo didn't get a ring. Those 2 where stars in this league.
I wanted so badly for Romo and Witten to win the Super Bowl too. Two good guys who played their hearts out.

Parcells advised TRomo......"do not become a celebrity QB".......in the first week that's what he did......appearing on the First Damn Sports Show, immediately after gaining the starting role. And he was off to the races after that........Carrie Underwood, Jessica Simpson

Cabo.....though no one fought against that......our 2 leaders went regardless......got no heat for it (like OBJ did in Miami)......and then the BFF privileges begin to surface.

Nobody has a problem with commercials......and TRomo had them too.

I know, huh? Romo put the franchise back all those years he was there. He was undrafted...at least Dak was a 4th rounder, so it's all good, plus Dak is a role model and Romo, is well, a loser I guess, hell, I don't know, do you?

its funny we like to think only a superbowl will get the media to appreciate Dak and the cowboys

theyll still say the same things they say now and then tell us "oh how long did it take when x qb won it in his 2nd season theyve showed nothing"

the cowboys win it all we should (shoulve already been) tune out the media and celebrate and the reason most cant celebrate the season now is because theyre so invested in us playing the perfect game to shut the media up and then you cant enjoy the win because Stephen A or Shady McCoy have ammuntion

I am new to this forum, but been a Cowboys fan since I was little. I missed out on Staubach, Danny White was the QB I grew up with. I had no idea so many people were so down on Romo. I loved watching him, he was fun. No he didn't win the big one, but so many greats never do. It shouldn't tarnish a guy. The guy was undrafted and became statistically the greatest QB ever of Americas Team- not too shabby, whats to hate there?

Romo was on some awful teams, which had some really bad offensive lines and awful defenses. Dak’s defenses haven’t come close to that ineptitude and his offensive lines have been pretty steady most of the time, as well as having better drafting and coaching overall. Yet, Tony still managed to keep them at least 8-8 every year when healthy.

idk that 2020 defense might have something to say about that

I wouldn't say TRomo is a loser. He was good, but too many ups & downs......and downs at the wrong time, in the biggest times. He couldn't be reigned in after Parcells. Dak can't be reigned in now.....Air Coryell Jr, IMO.....is harming him more than molding him. He is illustrating some of the same TRomo traits.

The real issue......Yes Men and Bargain Basement coaching at that key position......and Jerry's passion to mold people (Garrett/KMoore) into something they aren't. How many HC jobs did Garrett get after leaving Dallas?
In fairness to KMoore......if he was such a "guru" or "genius".......he would have been snapped up by another franchise already. Denver, please grab him soon. Help!

lol...Don't ask me, Romo was the bomb, a magician. Maybe it could be because of Dak and his diehard fans (i'm a cowboy fan) that don't want to hear about Romo, but the dude played his *** off hurt and broken down until they told him, time is up, hit the bench, we have a young guy now. But, yeah, lots of "hate" going on.

Kudos to TRomo.......unfortunately......in the end, there's only a wedding band to show on the hand.

Today's rules make defenses like the Ravens, Bucs, and Bears of old impossible these days.

Because he had 5-11 rosters he had to drag into the playoffs routinely.

Yeah, the way some on here talk about Romo, you'd think they have him confused with Pelluer or something, lol. Dude was awesome. Seemed like a good guy too. I enjoy him on CBS. Sounds more like your buddy having fun calling a game instead of a stuffy broadcaster. Just way smarter than your buddy- calls the plays before they happen all the time.

If you don't mind...
Yeah...might not know, but I write blues music and I am stealing the above lyric. I dig it.
