If any of you guy enjoy golf this one is for you. Now, it's not a bad analogy.so if you will?..here is the turth.
@toddarcher: Since Romo is such a golf guy, let's use a golf analogy: he's on the back nine. I don't know how anybody could think otherwise. He is 34. He is coming off two back surgeries. He is in his eighth year as a full-time starter. Just because he is on the back nine doesn't mean he can't play at a high level. I know the odds are stacked and thirty-something quarterbacks haven't won a lot of Super Bowls here lately, but I'd take my chances he's on Holes 12 and 13, if you will. He still has football in him, provided he can stay upright. I do think Romo is smart enough to adapt his game as he gets older. If you allow me to carry on with other sports analogies, here's another one: fastball pitchers can develop into multipitch guys over the years. Romo has done a lot on his own with some improvisation and ability to buy time. I don't think you'll see him run around as much as he did when he was younger. I think you'll see him pick and choose his spots. I believe he did some of that last year, which is one of the reasons his sack total was so high. He was willing to take the sack -- not necessarily the big hit mind you -- and move on to the next play rather than take a risk of a hit or a poor throw.
My hope is this "D" does more than they are suppose to..i mean if we are drinking the "homer wine" today, get in and you never know. or.....keep him up-right and healthy this year and keep finding the second level rotation guys on the other side and draft and work FA next year and have a real shot.
got to love Tony..forgive me but, ..the man needs a break if it dosn't come soon that famous "window" will close.
