Has nothing to do with Romo actually winning a Super Bowl.
It's sheer lunacy to think that Jerry extended Romo because he's some sort of lightning rod for controversy and doesn't think Romo can win a Super Bowl.
Jerry extended Romo because he believes that the Cowboys can win a Super Bowl with him as the QB. And he's better than any alternatives. The draft class was incredibly weak for QB's and there were no good free agent QB's.
Whether Romo wins a Super Bowl or not isn't the point behind Skip's article. It's that he truly believes that Jerry doesn't think that the Cowboys can win with Romo, but since he's such a controversial QB that is the only reason for the extension.
It's nonsense. And anybody thinking that Skip is 'spot on' either didn't read the entire article or buys too much into media goofiness.
I'm not too happy with Romo's play this year, but we needed to extend his contract and he earned the extension. Hopefully we'll be smart enough to draft a QB next year and develop him for two years and then have him take over for Romo in 2016.
The article isn't about if Jerry thinks the Cowboys can or can't win with Romo.It's about that Jerry cares more about being relevant,talked about,and entertaining,even if it's bad entertainment,then he does winning.
