Rogers never gets negative attention and he hasn't gotten over the hump. It's not a media thing. It's a Cowboys thing.
If he flops in the playoffs, and the team doesn't get any better for another year or two he will get the same treatment as Romo.
Look at McNabb - he has had a hell of a lot more team success than Romo, but the media soured on him because he always fell short of winning it all. Matt Schaub has lost his luster with the media. Duante Culpepper was a golden boy that fell from grace when he constantly fell short of team expectations. Bress was highly successful statistically in San Diego, but lost his shine until he won with the Saints.
And remember - every situation isn't identical, and the media may be faster or slower to get on, or jump off the bandwagon of different people for a variety of reasons. Some of those reasons may be fair, some not, but it would be ridiculous to believe everyone is treated the same by the media except Romo.
Be realistic - the Romo quarterback Cowboys started the year 1-7, and the Rodgers quarterbacked Packers overcame some odds to get to the playoffs and win against Michael Vick, who is a hot story himself, and another example of how the media focus can shift on a player when his fortunes change. Accordingly, is it really that surprising that the media would be on Rodgers bandwagon much more than Romo's?
