I didn't get to see the game live and have just recently watched the recorded version.
Romo looked unreal to me. I saw the 349-yard stat line and figured he had a nice game but never imagined anything like this.
He still makes some rookie errors -- the interceptions, the near fumble when moving the ball to center field to set up the field goal in overtime. But the more he plays, the more "special" he looks. I know it's rare to call a former undrafted player special but man, he looks it at times.
That gunslinger mentality is gonna get him into trouble but it is also his best friend at times. It's interesting watching because he seems capable of turning it on and off between manager and gun slinger, which strikes me as somewhat rare. He'll check down all night when nothing's there, but he also knows when and how to avoid the rush and to set things up.
He reminds me a little of a great passing point guard in basketball. His eyes are always downfield and a play is seemingly never over with him behind center. His field vision is uncanny.
I know, I know. All is not positive with him, and this just represents the good. I'm sure you can counter with some bad, too. But I think it's clearly time we all completely rearrange any preconceived notions about Romo's skill based on his being an undrafted guy.
The skills are there. What happens with them is anyone's guess.
On a related note, did we really hit this nicely on Hurd and Rector? Even if they're just flashes in the pan, they're seemingly good flashes in the pan.
On a side but related note, I would have liked to have seen how that intercepted pass in the end zone would have resulted if anyone other than Copper was on the receiving end.
