Like I mentioned before and I have said it from begining , I don't believe in Romo completely till proved otherwise. But you don't trade him. Its easy to forget now how bad it was before Romo got here.
Just because we have 3-4 new QBs doing good in NFL from their rookie years its going to keep happening.
I think this is either a great test for Romo or Romo is permanently damaged. My contention or doubt of Romo was, first he never seemed to be careful with the ball. Second he didn't have great predigree (i.e. not a big time College QB or won anything i.e. championship or bowl game etc. from High School to COllege to now). Third, in the interviews I heard him before he became cowboys QB, he always seemed bit over confident. Confidence is good, but it never should border on Arrogance. Thats why I was always skeptical of Romo, till begining of this year. I started to hear different Tone and attitude.
But now I am starting to believe that has also caused confusion to Romo and so now he has become scared to pull the trigger. So now not only he does not make plays, but now he is only making bad plays mostly or making more bad plays than good ones.
Phil Simms apparently told Jennifer Floyd Engel that he doesn't think Romo has hit the Rock Bottom yet. Phil told her that once he hits and can get out of it, he will become a great QB. I hope Phil is correct. But I am not sure Romo hasn't almost reached Rock bottom already.
well all i will say is that, if you look into romo's past you will see right back to his high school days he had some struggles and then put the time and worked and turned it around. basically every time.
His freshman year of college, he struggled and stayed the whole summer on campus just practicing and throwing balls every day, just like he did when battling henson. The stories we heard about him working every day all day with David Lee are all you need to know about the guy.
he isnt a quitter, he wont give up and he will correct his errors.
as his father said about him growing up and playing football at each level...
"everytime he hit a plateau we would all think that was fun...then he would work hard and get better"
A great story in the carolina gameday program had his dad telling a story about Tony in high school. There was a snow storm, a complete blizzard and Tony had a basketball game against east troy high school, it was nearly 20 miles from his house. Tony's father Ramiro was supposed to pick him up from home and take him to the game, but his dad got stuck at work because the blizzard was so bad. Ramiro got home 2 hours late and was expecting to find tony there waiting for him, but Tony was gone. Ramiro got on interstate 11 and was on his way to the high school to see if tony was there. On his way there he saw a kid riding his bike on the shoulder....It was Tony, he didnt want to miss the game and let his teammates down.
What else in the world do you need to know about this guy? He has hit a rough patch, as have the rest of his teammates. I am banking on him pulling out of it.
