One of the greatest mistakes this franchise has made was not giving Romo his starting job back. It may have cost them a Super Bowl.
Romo, like Dak today, was inconsistent, and I mean as in leadership in the playoffs or lack of it.
I recall mediocre seasons with Romo, and when he got to the playoffs, he was ...well, old boy, a failure and certainly not Super Bowl material as you proclaim. Here is what SportsFanfare concluded re Romo.
"In his career, Romo has played in 5 Divisional Round games and 4 Conference Championship Games. Unfortunately, the Dallas Cowboys QB has a 3-2 overall record in those games but he’s never been able to win a Super Bowl with them. In both of his NFC Championship Game appearances against the New York Giants and Green Bay Packers, Romo was unable to lead his team past those opponents. In this year’s Conference Championship loss, Romo threw a costly interception that led to the Packers’ winning points by way of a field goal. He finished the game with 2 touchdowns and 3 interceptions in total."
Then there was Mr. Bobble in Seattle. Tear our me heart, Tony!
Face it, we have nor have an elite QB since 1998.
But one of these days we shall, and our wrath will be known in the NFL!
