[CanadianCowboysFan]

Ah the goal posts always move for old Tony. Now he has to win on the road to be elite.

Sadly it's true... Troy Aikman won on the road against the 49ers (widely regarded as the best team in the NFL at that time) so if you want to take that next step it must be against a team in hostile conditions such as on the road.

Home, Road.. who gives a damn.

If he wants to be considered elite he just has to win postseason games. That's all. Doesn't matter how, just win.

If he goes 9-0 for the rest of his career in the postseason, even if they're all home games.. he wouldn't be elite?

Of course... But at some point he'll more than likely have to win on the road.

Tony will eventually have to win a ring while in Dallas to be considered elite. Otherwise he will be Danny White's historical bussom buddy. Not saying its fair, but its true.

Romo's has shown that's he's more than capable of winning road games so I'm not worried. I have faith he can do it.

But don't kid yourself, if reaches any imaginary mile markers they'll come up with some new standard to measure him by.

Im sure at some point he will, but im just saying, i don't care if they play every game on South Beach, as long as he strings together some consistent postseason success it couldn't matter less whether he does it at home or on the road in my mind.

 

[Go Big D!]

and does anyone else find it a little coincidental that after being barraged with Romo comparison threads all week that JJT pulls out this Romo versus Rodgers article?

I don't care where Romo performs as long as the Cowboys win!

Same ha.

..and as long as he wears his hats backward. :

You accidentally sited a JJT article for relevance.

Here ya go..

I don't care who considers him elite or not, I'll take an average quarterback that manages to put up elite stats anyday.

How big and fast are you and what position do you play? Are you willing to sign with Dallas if you are above average?

THE only playoffs road victory in his entire career. He was 1-2 on the road with losses to the 49ers and Panthers on the road.

He never lost a playoff game at home, though..

Cardinals in 1998. That game still grinds my gears.

The Cowboys have to win a superbowl. I could care less about how everybody always says Romo has to win this... Romo has to win that... to be elite. Romo is talented enough to bring home the trophy now the Cowboys have to win it. Romo's not doin anything without the rest of em and a road win doesn't mean anything unless it helps us win it all.
