I understand it would be trending that direction but, you just never know.Tony was exciting to watch. There are no qualms about that.
But I have to believe in a tight Super Bowl game that Tony would have made an inexplicable boneheaded throw to crush the Cowboys. I think the game would have been too big for him. His history tells us that.
He certainly had a hand in itRomo didn't lose that game. Patrick Crayton lost that game.
You are on a roll.Awesome. His back is so bad he's winning Golf Tournaments

His 4th quarter comeback numbers and GWD's are some of the best of all time
Two throws were perfect for 2 TDs, but we'll never remember that, just the L and their eventual ringRomo didn't lose that game. Patrick Crayton lost that game.
I believe that went down as the only QB to ever lose with a rating that highAnd 4th quarter/end of half/ end of game passer rating numbers. The list goes on but the facts aren't changing any minds at this point. That ship has sailed.
Cowboys fans will never forgive Romo for only being very good instead of historically great. That's the bottom line, and it's psychotic.
Honestly I'm not confident that ANY quarterback makes the burned out Parcells/soft Wade Phillips/training wheels Garrett-era teams matter any more than Romo did. In 2014 he was the highest rated passer in the entire league and had a 143.6 passer rating and 0 turnovers in the Packers game and the team still lost. At that point I'm not sure what the hell is even left when you're completing 79% of your passes at over 10 yards per attempt.

Only thing I have to say here and what anguish it creates is the fact and just imagine Romo+Zeke the last 3 years.
Man you know we have left at least 1 Lombardi Trophy in the air and at least 1 more till Romo retired.
Jerry you fool......
Good lord some of the blocking on those olines were down right putrid. How many early snaps, or over the head snaps did Romo have to chase down? So, So bad.
None of that matters.In 2014 he was the highest rated passer in the entire league and had a 143.6 passer rating and 0 turnovers in the Packers game and the team still lost.
I've said the same. If Brady or Rogers was our QB, I think they would have 0 super bowls as well.And 4th quarter/end of half/ end of game passer rating numbers. The list goes on but the facts aren't changing any minds at this point. That ship has sailed.

As a passer, any quarterback must throw catchable passes. Does not matter which down the ball is thrown. The only essential factor is throwing a pass that his receiver can catch the ball.
In the running game, any quarterback must securely hand off or toss the ball. Does not matter how the offensive line blocks or how effective the defense counters the run play. Making sure the running back has the ball is the only requirement.
So.
The quarterback threw a long pass on 4th and short. The pass was catchable. The play was ruled incomplete.
Which player received and continues to receive the most blame from some fans for the team's eventual defeat?
Answer: Romo
Also.
The quarterback handed off the ball. The running back had secured the ball before entering the assigned hole. The offensive line, especially the right guard, blocked well. A defensive lineman makes a great play by extending his arm back into the hole and knocks the ball out of the running back'sflimsygrasp. A fumble results. Drive dies.
Which player was and has been held the most accountable from some fans for the team's subsequent loss?
Answer: Romo
How can any argument ever be made that refutes such impeccably logical conclusions?
/sarcasm
I believe Prescott is receiving the same degree of over criticism as Romo at comparable points of their careers but the scrutiny has not nearly approached the overall quantity as faced by his predecessor. [Heck, the nonsense is still strong with news about Romo playing GOLF! ]That may happen with the passage of time. In the meantime, I doubt Prescott's upcoming contract finalization will suddenly make discussions "10 times worse" than they have been, because that is how I would superficially describe what would need to happen for Prescott to reach Romo's Forum Wars level in such a short time.One thing I will always be thankful to Tony Romo for, he was our first "Forum Wars" player. Surely, Dandy and Danny would have been great for that but this wasn't around then.
Before there was "Dak Wars", there was Romo and he was not only the most polarizing player in the NFL, he ruled the forums unlike any other player before or since but Dak could threaten that with a fat contract.
Some of the most baffling, befuddling, bewildering, beguiling, belittling and beautiful posts written on these forums were because of him. He helped that along, unwittingly, with his backwards cap, golf and taking a vacation and it is still a hot topic whether he actually let his butt get too big. But for pure fun and driving most up the wall, you couldn't beat it.
We have the Romo template to thank for the Dak polarization. The most over and under appreciated player in Cowboys history. Dan and Danny might have given him a run for the title but that's all his.
