Video: Tony Romo, Be Brave

[Solution]

You know that old cliche, "Hollywood couldn't write a script like this"?

Scene 1 - An unknown voice narrates the plight of his fandom.
Setting - Disillusioned

As a younger fan born in the early 90's, I've never seen them experience any form of substantial success. All the jadedness we have as fans is a result of the post dynasty era of mediocrity and false hope. That is the only team I've ever experienced.

Your favorite players are Staubach, Aikman, Emitt, Irvin, and Dorsett. These are the legends I read and heard about, but never got to see play for my team. To me they might as well just be a myth, folk lore passed down from a time when "America's Team" might have actually meant something.

Don't worry, I'm not jealous. I take pride in my dedication to the Cowboys. It's a badge of honor to support a team that finds inventive ways to always let you down. If you ever want to understand why fans still turn out for a Browns game, just ask a Cowboys fan in his 20's. We're no better.

Do you know who my favorite players are? Of course it's guys like Ware, Witten, Barber, and Bryant. I wonder if one day they will be folk lore; players I can talk about longingly to fans who might find themselves in a particularly bad dry spell. I'm a bit of a pessimist, so I don't really think so. Sure they will be remembered, but as of now they are just the best players on a series of losing teams. I still love them though, because they're all I've ever had.

What if there was one player that could change how we one day look back on this team?

Scene 2 - A Weary, forgotten Quarterback Returns.
Setting - Redemption

To be continued week 9...

Right in the feels. Romo needs a championship.

 

[Diehardblues]

We're all entitled to worship who we choose but I promise you we wouldn't hold some of the legends from our historic and glorious past in such high esteem without playing for and or winning championships.

Even after 29 years we were ready to throw Tom Landry under the bus after 3 straight losing seasons.

But it's fine to be loyal to your favorite players as long as you don't let it blur your better sense of evaluation if they continue to have less success.

I've been to places like Detroit and New Orleans. Yes, huge diehard fans but they aren't dillussioned their teams or players are any better than they are.

The only thing Tony deserves is his contract he's earned it. No one in football deserves anything that they don't go and take.

Incredibly cheesy

People who think it's ROMO who's been holding this team back from winning anything are so ******** stupid I don't even bother engaging them any more.

Whatever...just saying....the truth

 

[CWR]

Witten will always be a legend. Not just what he did on the field but how he did it.

Not your post as much as the video. We're in a good spot right now. Tony or Dak we are primed for a run and set up for the next 10-15 yers

What I get the most out of that video is how Romo won games for us by extending plays with his feet when the OLine broke down repeatedly. All that hype back in 2007ish-2010 about our 'great' offensive line when Romo was running for his life back there about 15 times a game.

Kudos to whoever put that vid together.

Yeah the video isn't mine, it was posted to the cowboys subreddit and my first impression was how awfully corny it was. But then I realized I didn't care because I'm that homo for Romo and I missed him.

I could not agree with this post any more. I feel the same way too. I just walk away.

Jerry Jones was believing all the hype about our OLine right up until the epic collapse in 2010. Only when Garrett took over and he started delegating to Stephen did this front office get serious about building a real OLine to match the hype.

Once all the pieces of that OLine were in place, Tony could stop running for his life for 1/2 the game and stay in the pocket and pick teams apart. Result? In 2014, the best year he's had yet, 113 QBR, 34 TD's and 9 Int's.

Romo vs. the 9ers - cracked ribs, punctured lung, comes back in the game to snatch victory. As inspirational as it gets. Whatever happens, Tony will be a hero to me, always. He deserves one more chance to win a Ring. It may or may not be whats best for the team chemistry, but its the right thing to do. I would hope most players would agree. Its a very difficult decision and I'm glad I don't have to make it...

Romo needs a third career playoff win.
