Romo is a flawed QB in many respects, but he is also very underrated.
Consider: the guy was un-drafted. He came from nowhere to being among the Top 10 QB’s every year he’s been a starter. He’s very productive and, despite his many notable late-game choke jobs, is actually very clutch.
He doesn’t have elite arm strength, but he is quite accurate, and has an uncanny ability at escaping pressure, keeping plays alive, and then completing them.
He doesn’t have a Hall of Fame resume at this time, but he is a huge overachiever when you consider that he came from a small school and wasn’t drafted.
He has a three year window to win a SB. With that offensive line, it’s not entirely out of the question, provided that they can upgrade the defense over the next couple of drafts. Garrett has matured as a coach, and Jerry Jones, egomaniac that he is, seems to be learning from his mistakes. He regretted not drafting Randy Moss, so he made sure to get Dez Bryant. He regretted neglecting the offensive line for so long, so made it a priority over the last four years, even though it meant passing on Johnny Football. And he remembered what it was like playing Musical Quarterback after Aikman retired, so he made sure he locked Romo up.
Romo has a great opportunity this year to silence some critics. I sure hope he does.
Cowboys need an elite pass rusher to get them over the hump.
I think they will go hard for Suh in the off-season.
If Jerry had his way, he would have drafted Manziel.
Jerry Jones wanted to pick Johnny Manziel, had draft card ‘snatched’ (insert Beavis and Butthead laughter).

If Peyton Manning's retarded brother can win two Super Bowls with 8-8 teams, ANYONE can win.
