The Dallas Cowboys needed quarterback Tony Romo to come up big against the Washington Redskins on Sunday night. Instead, he threw three interceptions, including a crucial fourth-quarter pick that contributed to the Cowboys' season-ending loss. After the latest down moment in Romo's inconsistent career, I think it's time for Dallas to move on; it's time for the Cowboys to cut ties with Romo.
Romo's one of those guys who seems to do really well when it doesn't count, but when it counts, he doesn't get the job done. It's not because he's not smart; it's not because he's not athletic; it's not because he doesn't have ability. He just doesn't do what he needs to, and I think his performance Sunday was a prime example of that.
First, I just don't think he was sharp; he was throwing the ball behind people and so forth. On that big fourth-quarter interception, he was just fooled; Rob Jackson made a good play for the Redskins, but Romo was just fooled.

First!
You must psychic. Check out post #19.
Yikes....Romo is going to be 33 next season. For some reason I thought he was younger. Time is running out.
Thanks MinorityRepublican. More Black Monday NFL stuff, Perdogg.
D’oh! Wow! LOL! That is all.
That was funny. :)
The team's had problems and little to no postseason to show for all of the pomp and circumstanc of the Cowboys as an organization. But it is not all Romo's fault. This is a coaching problem (and ultimately a GM problem). If Tom Coughlin had been head coach of Dallas for the past 10 years, it's likely Romo would have several rings.
I used to say the same thing after Dan Snyder bought the Redskins. But, apparently, Shanahan laid down the law to Dan when he was hired and Shanahan seems to know what he’s doing. No more multi-million dollar deals to over-the-hill stars. Snyder’s ownership resume is filled with them. Shanahan drafts a couple of solid guys and now the Redskins are playing like they want to win a championship.
You know, that Tebow is such a poor quarterback, that the Redskins used up all of their blitzes on Romo last night instead of wasting them on Tebow.
Romo still thinks football only has 3 quarters and doesn’t understand why they have to be on the field for an additional 15 minutes!
I read somewhere that the league is looking into that Denver victory over Pittsburgh in last year’s playoffs.
They are going to decide if Tebow’s mechanics are so bad that it might be necessary to void the Denver win and award the victory to Pittsburgh.
I think the Cowboys will wait until Matt Stafford’s contract in Detroit is up and they go after him.
Stafford is the perfect QB for the Cowboys...he’s a hometown boy, and despite the Lions lousy season, he shows he can be a great quarterback in this league.
Somewhere along the line the moniker 'America's Team' was bestowed upon the Dallas Cowboys. It may go back to the Tom Landry days, a coach I respected ... but, as a long time Bronco fan, I resented that term every time some talking head sports announcer uttered the words. I'm sure Steeler, Raider, Packer fans, etc., felt the same way. Anytime I watch the Dallas Cowboys play I'm for the other team. Jerry Jones makes it easy.
Yeah, the REDSKINS.........
The problem is that you need a great quarterback to win the Super Bowl unless you have impeccable defense kind of like Baltimore Ravens.
Considering that the Steelers are officially Team Obama, I wouldn't doubt it. Old Man Rooney could lobby for this in the interests of "fairness", and Obama would gleefully comply.
I never tire of pointing out that the Steelers are the only team with an owner in Obama's cabinet. No true conservative would ever root for them.
This is an interesting idea. Stafford is a stud, and would fit in at Dallas well. I think he’s still young too.
LOLOLOL!
Romo is the A-Rod of quarterbacks, great stats, except for when it really counts.
I don't begrudge anyone having one non-conference team they hate, as long as there's a reason. However, the media invented the America's Team moniker, so I don't think it's fair to hold that against Dallas.
