Define wasted?

 

[ShortRound]

He's got tons of cowboys qb records, millions of money. I'd take take any day.

Wasted as in you didnt use the full amount or full potential...100% wasted.

 

[JBS]

No matter how you slice it..the answer is a resounding yes

 

[PA Cowboy Fan]

Yes. Been saying it for years. You have a great QB like Tony for a decade and only get 2 playoff wins out of it. It just makes me sick.

He had a full career, but he could have won at least one championship with a real coach and GM. In the latter sense, his career was wasted, but not based on his overall years he dedicated to the game.

There are a lot of star players who, because of their age and bad timing, were unfortunately on their team at the wrong time. Some great players never get Super Bowl rings while some below average players do. It is just the way it is unfortunately.

Was Dan Marino's?

If he wasn't saddled with a coach-in-training, he would have had a couple of rings by now.

Dan did make it to a SB.

The last 20 yrs has made a lot of fans sick.

When you consider that Tony was a UDFA his career was glorious...he made a fortune of money, enjoyed great fame and has a tremendous future to look forward to.

 

[ShiningStar]

Yes, our FO failed him. Bottom line. And they did it willingly

 

[Pessimist_cowboy]

Only Romo fans remember the crayton drops , the fasano drop in the end zone, the Murray fumble to seal the game, the dez drop on 4th down. When Romo was good enough his teammates weren't. But !, he's the QB so he'll be remembered by most for being good but not great enough.

 

[Idgit]

Nope

 

[waving monkey]

This is one of the problems with the idea of achieve. Not that the question isn't relevant
but that if he doesn't attain this notion of success he has been "wasted".
Someone up thread said he'd be happy with Romo's life and so would all of us here
and if you wouldn't it speaks volumes about our unrealistic false stories we tell ourselves and our culture.

I should say that it was the Cowboys that wasted Tony's talent. As far as Tony , he lived the dream as QB of America's team coming from nowhere to do it. I hope he does well on TV. It's great we have 2 QBs on the #1 announcing team on 2 different networks. lol

No. Some of us have been talking about it for several years.
