Romo specifically said he did NOT want this to get out. It’s just Romo being what he considers a decent human being, but in this day and age, it’s really him being a model human being. However, the Cowboys PR staff decided to shoot this everywhere they could. It just adds to the “Look at us! Look at us! mentality that they’ve always had…
As for the haters, they’re never going to go away. Antonio could cure cancer and he’d still be called Tony Homo. T.O. could invent a water-powered car and you’d still hear people going "sob sob that’s my quarterback.” It’s called being a Cowboy. Those who like us, love us. Those who don’t, LOATHE us. I wouldn’t have it any other way…

OH, and $20 says this story is covered on, both, Around the Horn and PTI today…I accept PayPal and most major credit cards if anybody wants to take me on haha

you can’t accept the fact that Romo can only cut back his INTs only so much because he’s a gunslinger, thats just the type of qb he is and has always been his entire life. He can’t change into Tom Brady.

Just like with Favre, you can’t change this about him or expect this to change, you just have to accept it as Romo being Romo. Thats just how he plays the game.

Your problem is that you refuse to accpet this by saying he has to do this or he has to do this, when in fact he doesn’t. He’s going to play the game the same way he’s always plays the game.

I know, sometimes those turnovers can be frustrating, but the TDs he produces more than make up for it and if you really pay attention to his TOs, you’ll notice they rarely if ever happen in the 4th qtr or when the game is on the line, they mainly happen early in games which makes them less of a problem since he has time to make up for them.

BTW, I’ve never ever said Romo has never played poorly, I’ve admitted he’s had some bad games in his career, but he gets too much blame when we lose and hardly any credit when we win by certain individuals whom I consider haters, so naturally I’m going to defend the guy.

because of course I specifically stated that he is flawed. As are all QBs. But in trying to show your balance, you trash your own point. So allow me to help you understand.

Of course he needs to cut down on turnovers. Of course he is not perfect on or off the field. Now, from the sublime to the ridiculous…

The Mexican vacation wasn’t a leadership mistake. He didn’t let his team down. One of the acknowledged team leaders – Witten – was there with him. It didn’t lose any games. The team took care of that. What it was was simply a PR mistake. It’s a mistake but not one of leadership. Only media and a few fans said that it was. Elsewhere in the league guys like TOm Brady defended him. But what would he know about leading an NFL franchise from the QB position?

His success has been much more than moderate. It has been more along the linesof historic, with his passing, winning percentage and winning percentage on the road in the top handful of QBs ever. That’s not moderate. No, I know already, he hasn’t won a playoff game. Got that stored away. But that is not entirely in his control and it’ll change as long as he stays healthy.

I have no sports heroes and I don’t recognize Romo as a deity. He’s an amazingly good QB and I accept him for what he is – sometimes flawed, sometimes brilliant, gun-slinger, play ground, make it happen, take some risk QB. It’s OK if people don’t like that, but that’s who the guy is. He’s gonna break some eggs to make the omelettes.

Yet you hear about all the negative. Par for the course with the MSM.

i’ll take a blue moon..
