Man, it's crazy what a warrior that dude was. I never understood the hate to be honest.

It’s relative to the franchise you play for and the perspective of said fanbase. If Romo had played for The Jets, he’d be a folk legend. Think about Jeff Garcia; many pro bowls, eye popping early 2000’s stats… but no one really remembers that because he played for a team that just came off back to back top 10 alltime QBs

Yes, how old are you?

I remember when he first came in 2nd half for Bledsoe & threw a pick off a deflected pass against NYG. He still looked good in that game especially compared to the Statue of Drew Bledsoe. You could see his mobility & moxie.

Next game Bill announced Tony as starter we waxed Carolina & never looked back at the QB position.

Hadn't really looked at his stats in a while until a few days ago........it's a shame we had a double-digit winning season in only 3 of his 13 years. To bad injuries cut his career short. He was clearly a top QB in his last 3-4 years. I'm 100% convinced if he had avoided injuries, we would have at least played in one Super Bowl. It's it all can together for him during the 2014 season but injuries robbed him.

I loved Romo and I love Dak. They are having similar careers but rabid Romo lovers will tear down Dak to build up Romo. To be fair, it happens the other way around too. They will never forgive Dak for taking Romo's job. They root against Dak so Dak can be seen as a failure like Romo is. That's why you see the Romo hate.

BTW, I loved Romo's episode. He's a good dude. He's not a leader though, and you have to be at the QB position. I think that was the only thing he was lacking. I wished they would've included his last TD he threw. I don't know why they didn't. He came in on that drive and marched them right down the field for an easy TD.

I'm that same way. I enjoyed watching Romo, and I enjoy watching Dak.

Romo played QB for the Dallas Cowboys, there's no other more polarizing position in all of sports.
