If Tony Romo played with Dez' passion, this team would be unstoppable. But, "it's just a football game Romo" lacks the fear of losing and as the "leader" of the team, his example kills this team. Yes, he often plays well when the chips are down, but wanting to win is not the same as hating to lose. Romo lacks that vague sports term "heart."
From the Peewee football teams to the pros, the players look to the QB for leadership, both offense and defense. The QB leads the "team." "Great" teams have great quarterbacks. This team has a ho-hum-gimme-the-stats quarterback. Has Tony Romo ever said, "that performance as a team, is absolutely embarrassing and will never happen again."???? No, we get, "it's a process" and "we'll learn from this and move forward." Well, the "process" ain't working, and the "learning" ain't happening.
I've always been a Romo supporter, but I have decided he is a good quarterback, but not a "great" quarterback. Right now, I'd take Danny White over Romo. At least Danny made it to the NFC Championship game four times.
