I have always felt like Tony Romo has gotten somewhat of a bad rap, and coupled with his unfortunate and frequent injury record, had made him expendable.
Sure, he has made bone-headed plays. Every quarterback has. But the bigger problem is that he hasn’t been reliable for some time, and that is a bigger problem than the occasional bone-headed plays.
Great coaches recognize that reliability is a form of greatness that can be just as important for a quarterback (maybe more so) as being able to complete an out pass under pressure to the opposite side of the field.
I just want want him to let me down one last time.
However, he fought through it, overcame a 2 score deficit to force it into overtime, then won it on a pass to Jason Witten.
One of the reasons he's so mature and level-headed is that he went to The Mississippi State University for five years....No 3 and out and barely going to Interdisciplinary Studies classes for him. He has a degree in Information Systems, and a Masters in Workforce Education Leadership. He used his scholarship to get the full college experience.
The only thing that gives me pause, is that he wears bow-ties. He looks a lot like a Nation Of Islam when he does that. However, the reason he wears them is because he likes the look, and made friends with George Sherman, who owns George Sherman Clothiers in Starkvegas. He wanted to look good for the Dawg walk on Game Day, so he went and bought one. Liked it so much that he now has 50 from him.
Well put. I remember Craig Morton, great thrower, good QB but he just had the turnover bug.
Part of staying healthy is the sixth sense to avoid the hit.
