2014 is his great letdown on the shoulders of the team. From Murray, JG, to the D,

We can't cherry pick his playoff performances, PA. With all due respect.

And then Jerry screwed up 2015 by letting Murray go and waiting forever to sign Dez. 2015 should have been a year to build on that success but it was a lost season. A lot of factors for our continued playoff woes

Exactly. We were cursed, as were our players (Tony included) with Jerry.

Thankfully he's been ***** slapped to the side by McClay, Vital, and Co, as is becoming more apparent :)

A little too late for some of the older players, but just in time for Dak, PA! :)

Tony was one of the more unlucky players of this era. The big breaks like Eli got with the Helmet Catch never came his way. That and those weird injuries.
In a lot of ways his career was like Ken Anderson and Dan Fouts. Each got so close but just came up short. Had great careers and great numbers but things never quite broke right. Fouts never had the D; and Anderson was in the same division as the Steelers; and then in that one SB ran up against Montana starting his run.

Tony had good teams. 13-3..12-4...11-5...10-6...He was the weak link...couldn't read a defense...took wild idiotic chances...no, there is no excuse for two wildcard wins in 10 yrs. The club is far, far better off now that his stupidity is gone. When the rookie came in...it was obvious how poor a decision maker Romo really was. Difference between night and day. Gone were all the idiotic mistakes at the LOC...Gone were all the pointless running round with the play still in the QB ' hand...big differense from guessing to knowing what the enemy defenses are really trying to do...the future is finally worth looking forward too.

Sure. I think it's pretty obvious that Romo never really had a great team around him. His defenses were terrible and the few times that he did make the playoffs the defenses tended to choke. This happened for Dak last year to btw, and I think you would agree with it for Dak at least. Romo was also let down by his teammates on offense, when it mattered the most they would always fail to step up. 2007, it was multiple dropped passes, including td drop by Fasano and a wide open 3rd down drop by Crayton, followed by Crayton quitting on his route that would have won the game . In 2009, his oline just didn't show up for the game, and it didn't matter if the QB took the best attributes of every QB ever, the Cowboys weren't winning that game. In 2014, the biggest play of the game was Murray turning a touchdown into GB football by fumbling as he tended to do in the biggest spots. This was followed by Dez reaching for the endzone on that infamous play which allowed the refs to overturn what should have been a clear catch.

Football is a team game, and it doesn't matter how good you are at QB if your teammates shrink from the moment. That is ultimately the difference in Romo and Eli's playoff success, Eli's receivers catch it with their helmets and his offense recovered every single fumble they had on both of their superbowl runs, Romo's WRs quit on their routes or have a rule changed so they can rule a pass incomplete and his runningbacks fumble should be touchdowns.

Ok, just one thing. Romo took a lot of "chances" with the ball, trying to make plays. Some worked out and some did not. Unfortunate for us, the ones that didn't always seemed to come at the worse times. He made it fun and kept us relavent.

Yea as much as Tony frustrated me sometimes I'll take him over the Quincy Carter-Chad Hutchenson years anyday. Those years weren't fun at all.

Romo has outstanding numbers against the Giants... he really smoked them, especially early in his career. I don't have time to do the research right now, but I'd be surprised if anyone in league history has thrown more TD passes against the Giants franchise.

You are correct by far. However, I don't know that I would want to use TD's as the criteria, it wouldn't be fair to quarterbacks of other eras, before the rules were changed to give offenses incredible advantages, especially the quarterback.

For example, in Roger Staubach's days, there was no just thing as "in the grasp". The play ended when the quarterback was on the ground. There were no "helmet to helmet" rules. There were no 5 yard rules for the DB's, etc, etc.

Besides, isn't it the job of an NFL quarterback to produce enough scoring drives to win games? Shouldn't victories be the guiding factor in determining the best. Then there is also the factor of reliability, or lack of injury.

Tony is 11-10 against Manning and the Giants, including playoff games. We know he was facing Eli because Eli has never missed a game. That makes Manning 10-11 against Romo when you include the playoffs. I would call that a tie considering the importance of the playoff losses to the Cowboys.

The reason I brought up Roger was because, in this category, WINS VS LOSSES , at least ten games throwing ten or more passes, Staubach is in first place in NFL history in winning pct vs. the Giants at 16-1. Danny White is in 5th place at 9-2. Tony Romo is in 8th place at 10-7, Aikman in 13th place at 11-10, Don Meredith 14th at 5-6-1, Eddie Lebaron 2nd to last at 3-11-1.
