Maybe Garrett and staff just made me numb to everything.
Probably some truth to that. I think some of the fans who pointed to this or that about Romo as flaws now realize that the primary flaws were with the coaching staff. I think it took changing quarterbacks for some to notice that. Some are doing just like was done with Romo, deflecting the blame onto the quarterback.
It is the nature of the position, but it also seems necessary for some fans to have a particular player(s) to blame for the failures. Truth is that every player fails at times because the game isn't played by perfect individuals. Our quarterbacks can't afford to have those failures, though, so they inordinately get blamed by fans for losses. (One of my favorites was when some fans got mad at Romo and blamed him for the 51-48 loss to Denver in 2013 because he threw a late-game interception ... in the same game where he threw for a franchise-record 506 yards and five TDs.)
