Interesting read

Will continue to say it to the end of time...Tony has two SB Rings if he was on those Giants teams, their defense was that good. To bad he has been surrounded by crap most of his career.

 

[Nova]

I cried

 

[Rockport]

That's my quarterback.

 

[waving monkey]

good read indeed

 

[cowboyblue22]

i agree if tony had been on a better team with a real gm and coach and football people he would have at least two superbowls will never have playing with the boys so sad.

 

[ConstantReboot]

Romo is such a competitor. I'm going to miss him when he decides to hang it up.

 

[zack]

I really hope he gets a send off like Manning. It would be a great to see him win a Super Bowl and finally get the accolades he deserves.

Can you imagine the stories leading up to the SB? Undrafted kid, becoming the QB of the Cowboys and winning the SB.

When you read this article it amazes me that his story hasn't been made a bigger deal than it is. Hopefully, a SB will bring this incredible story to the forefront.

I like Romo. The teams lack of success is not his fault. I would argue without him....a lot of those 8-8 years would have been 4-12 years. But this is pro sports. At some point if you are not part of the solution....you are part of the problem. The tenure he and Witten have been afforded is unheard of when you consider their lack of success. Look around the league....you simply don't stay with one team this long unless you have won or made a serious playoff run. The only other QB I can think of is Phillip Rivers...and he has played in an AFC title game. And for a position player...Witten's tenure without any success is downright unprecedented.

I don't care if Jerry thinks he can play 5 more years. I would draft a QB....give Romo 2 more years...and move on.

I liked the story and like romo but don't agree with you about blame

I think responsibility and blame is about power and romo has the most power in the organization after jerry and Stephen

 

[SultanOfSix]

It's a shame the organization wasted his potential.

Awesome read. Thanks!

Romo has power when he is on the field and maybe when the game plan is put together. He has no power when drafting players, who is signed as free agents, what the personnel is on defense.

Romo has done more than his share to win championships. The inept front office is the reason he doesn't have a Super Bowl.

 

[FaSho]

Our F.O. has never spent enough resources to build our defense. Romo has never had a good defense in his career. 2007 and 2009 were OK, but not even good.

 

[SportsGuru80]

All he needs is just ONE ring, PLEASE let us get one SOON!!!!!

 

[SDCowboy]

It is a damn shame he doesn't have a ring already.

When you are owed 100 million and 50-60 million guaranteed by a franchise, you have power off the field.

I know the highest he ever had was 9th and that year he went 13-3. By contrast Ben Roethlisberger has had the number 1 defense 4 times and number 2 once. 6 of his 10 seasons the Steelers finished in the top 5. Yet Ben gets praised for playoff wins and Super Bowls while Romo gets criticized.Tony Romo has never once had a dominating defense like Ben has had for the majority of his career.

Romo has CHOSEN to stay with a GM who does not have a prayer to be able to build a complete team

Romo has CHOSEN to stay with a HC who is barely fit to coach a HS team

Romo is a good guy
Romo is a good QB BUT

Those are choices he has made so he has to live with their consequences i.e. Lots of money but no rings
