First off, I am a HUGE Romo fan. I think the guy will eventually win a SB for the team. I think he has his head on straight. I think Jerry was a smart man for eschewing Brady Quinn and instead signing Romo to the big contract.
However, I like to think that I can be objective in difficult situations. Thus, I agree with Balkis, AdamJT13, and Mr. JamesWoods.
AdamJT13 is right on the money with his response to Mr. JamesWoods's analysis. The ref did indeed blow that Intentional Grounding call.
Balkis is right as well. Romo had 2 possessions in the 4th Qtr when the score was 21-17 to either seize the lead or win the game, and Romo could not do it. Superbowl QBs come through in those situations.
For everybody who says that it was a team loss and not all Romo's fault. To you I say you are correct to a certain extent.
QBs get paid top dollar because they have the most control over what happens in a game. They are the decision-makers. Romo has the biggest contract on the team at $67.5 mil. He is the leader. As such he should shoulder most of the blame when the team loses. Whether that is 51%, 70%, or 99% of the blame, it doesn't really matter. There is no other single position on the field who controls the fate of their team more than a QB.
Playing QB isn't for the weak. It's not for people who avoid accountability. That's what every person signs up for when they make the decision to play QB. That's what Romo signed up for when he signed that $67.5 mil contract. It's a risk that people take when they QB. They either win and become the toast of the town or they lose and become the scourge of the town. Successful QBs understand this as I think Romo does.
Everyone else who makes excuses for him needs to understand this, too. Just read the proverbial contract.
