How many times have you fallen in and out of love with Romo?

I've loved that guy since he came in the league. My biggest worry at the beginning was that it was all fool's gold and that he'd turn into UDFA talent at some point. As the time went on, that faded and while there's been ups and downs, I've always been on his side.

Even at the grimmest (2012 season finale), I was disappointed, but I never doubted that he could do it. Now, let's finish the job and get a Super Bowl.

I don't like having to depend on Romo (which is why the running game is so important), as I, and many, have said. IMO, less Romo is better Romo, as this season has proven.
The fewer points the opponent scores, and the better you run the ball, the less you have to depend on the passing game.

Basically, you're saying you'd rather have a good team than a bad team.

Never - ever - ever...and many of you already know this because we've sparred in the past. That doesn't mean I haven't been critical of him when he deserved it. I said he flat out sucked after the 49er game this year and he did, but I always thought he would bounce back.

My reasoning has always been simple. There are about ten guys on the entire planet who can play the position at a high level and Tony is one of them. He has always represented hope for me when I knew deep down there was never any hope with Hogeboom, or Pueller, or Quincy or Hutch or Leaf, or even Bledsoe.

Also, like him or not he is absolutely spectacular. His play is riveting, both good and bad (in past years). He does things as an athlete that are unbelievable and you never know what's next. I watch highlights of him on You Tube sometimes and I forgot some plays he's made that leave you breathless.

I have always countered with if not Tony when who - because those guys are so hard to find. I always carry a little apprehension knowing that we will be looking again in the not too distant future.

I never take Tony Romo for granted and am hoping for another three years.

Never. I've a mighty list of ignored CZ members who are Romo haters. He's an elite QB in every sense of the word. Is it perfect? No, no QB in the league is. Amazing how well he's done when everything the supporters have been begging for are finally at his feet (defense withheld for further judgement). I don't want anyone else throwing the ball for this club until he hangs his shoes up. That's my quarterback.

Romo to fans is like that really hot girlfriend who has amazing physical features, but she's insane in the head.

She's a complete lunatic and you really, really, really want to be done with her. But when you take another look at her she just reels you back in, it's a dangerous cycle. :D

Just zero and zero. I love to watch him play. And I've loved watching him since the first pass he threw. My first words were did you see that release.

For the most part I'm just joking though, of course Romo has made some plays where you just look at the T.V. and think, really Romo? You really thought you could fit the Football in a window the size of an acorn between four defenders? I know you're good, but c'mon man.

That was especially the case when his supporting cast was piss poor and he had to carry the whole load, he knew he had to play lights out or we would lose. So he would try to do too much, and that usually meant turnovers at inopportune times. Last year's Denver game would be a perfect example of what I'm referencing, and that game pretty much sums up Romo's career.

Most of us fans that watch Dallas (not the casual NFL fan) religiously have always known he's an elite caliber QB who has been hamstrung by an inept surrounding cast, including his coaching staff, gm, owner, ect;

One can point to his offensive weapons and say, "well how are you saying he's had a bad supporting cast when he's had monstrous weapons to throw to?" And my response would be, offense hasn't been the problem. And Romo has always made his WRs look a lot better then they really are, Laurent Robinson, Miles Austin, ect; Offense only makes up a third of the game, just because he's had a very good offense doesn't make up the fact that we've had some of the worst defenses in franchise history under Romo.

To sum things up, Romo has always been an elite talent at the QB position. To make for a poor supporting cast, Romo would try to carry the whole load and do too much. Against superior teams we've faltered because well, as a team we really haven't been that good. We just had one of the better QBs in the NFL to keep us competitive even with a high school quality defense.

Football is a team sport, not even Brady, Manning, Rodgers, Brees, Montana, Aikman, Staubach, or any QB that has previously played in the NFL can win by them self. Football is widely known as the "ultimate team sport" because to be successful it takes 53 players, not just one.

Way to often had i hopes he could be the guy.
This season i finally realized that my expectations regarding him were just too high.

It feels much better now that i settled my mind.

But i do love him as a person. He is a funny guy.

Never fell out. Knew the guy was special within a few games of his first start. As with any player, I've been disappointed a few times but I've never given up on him. We're so lucky to have him as our QB. It will be a very sad day in Cowboys history when he retires. Hopefully that's not for another 5 years. The guy should be this year's MVP.

He has committed boneheaded mistakes at times, but I've always liked him and hated how the Cowboys handled him - until this year.

i've never fallen in love nor fallen out.

i will say he's been a pretty damn good qb who if he had a o-line like we have now and a decent defense...no telling how many rings we could have.

his houdini acts are second only to fran and roger..damn romo can do some houdini acts.

his toughness is what i love the most about the man.

romo and big ben definitely are easily the two toughest sob's to play at the qb position in the last decade.

those two could of played in any generation.

i'm not so sure that might not be the superbowl this year if bell is good to go.

last time we went to the superbowl we played pitt in the desert....last time i checked ...the superbowl is in the desert.

romo had to carry this team for so many years due to jerry and his stupid decisions.


i just hope he,dez, witten and the rest of this team get a ring this year.

nice comparison.

Sometimes the eye lets you forget to take a deeper look. Also to take a deeper look inside yourself and what is really important to yourself.
