Trent Dilfer on Romo (Direct Quote)

imagine if Romo had half the running attack or defense the 2000 ravens did..
they laid it on the giants so bad that to this date it's the least talked about superbowl.

I did enjoy it, but when i hear Ben & Skin say that we can put the Romo "choker" label away and that he's clutch then i just have to roll my eyes a little. This was a good win and Romo was excellent on that final drive but i need to see more.

Romo has 11 game-winning drives since 2011. No NFL QB has more over that span. But this is America and you're free to hold onto your inaccurate misperceptions. Especially when those misperceptions are so popular among the masses.

Thinking critically and not allowing popular opinion to sway your own judgment is a daunting task. Not everyone's brave enough to do it.

Don't need to my memory works fine.

Based on your posts in this thread, it seems you have selective memory and would rather dwell on negatives.

Tony Romo has been the hot button in Dallas for years. Being on America's Team, who are supposed to succeed, does amplify his recognition.
I personally think he's a good QB, greatness is written in the final act, which himself and the team will write. Not spoken by fans…. Terry Bradshaw can attest to that.

When He makes mistakes he will be scrutinized, when he performs super human acts, he will be praised, simple as that. Win when you're supposed to, and when your not supposed.

I won't have a final judgement until he's gone, and his accomplishments are written. Danny White Crying into his palms as the skins celebrate, or Troy Aikman lifting a trophy, what he has to overcome may be greater than both. But that's the mark of greatness, vs he was just a good qb who couldn't get over the hump.

Anyone else notice that Romo seems to be short-arming his throws as if he is scared to take a hit? (I don't blame the guy after the abuse he has taken the last few years...)

And he has done it with a piss poor running game (almost every season) and with defenses that either give up a crap load of yards (this year) or a defense that can't cause a turnover to save its life (last year).
