Romo remembered when he came into the League in 2003. None of the veterans helped him whatsoever, and he pretty much had to learn on his own. He promised to himself that he'd help out any of the new guys coming up.
He's doing just that with Dak. Instead of sulking and pouting, Romo has been helping him at practice, and giving him pointers in games.
The NFL is a 16 game grind. If Dak ever gets injured, it's nice to know that we have a healthy all-Pro Quarterback on the bench ready to pick up the slack.
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.
