It's obvious that when it comes to Romo, people's strong feelings about the Cowboys color their views somewhat. This post is dedicated to them.

1) Romo has never won anything! As opposed to the quarterbacks that I rank higher, like Jay Cutler and Aaron Rodgers.

2) Romo is all stats...like Danny White! I shall forget that the people behind Romo on the career passing efficiency charts...Young, Manning, Warner, Brady, Roethlisburger, and Montana, are a list of MVPs and Hall of Famers.

3) Romo is not a "winner"! Yes, I know I base this on 2 postseason starts, but that's a legit sample size! I'm going to forget that it took Favre and Jim Kelly 5 years of starting to get to the Super Bowl, that it took Young, Aikman, and Elway 4 years, and Peyton Manning 9 years. I will forget that Eli Manning--a total "winner," was 0-2 in his first two playoff starts. Real winners like Brady, Warner, Big Ben, and Montana win Super Bowls within their first two years of starting!

4) Romo is too distracted by his relationship with a buxom blonde! On the other hand, "winners" like Tom Brady are not distracted by relationships with supermodels or fathering children with starlets. Because what is a disctraction for a non-winner like Romo is a non-disctraction for a winner like Tom Brady. And famous good looking girlfriends like Jessica Simpson are a disctraction, but non-famous good-looking girlfriends are not a distraction. At least not for winners, which Tony Romo isn't.

5) Romo smiles too much on the field and homoerotically squirts water on Terrell Owens. Romo needs to publicly yell at his receivers more, as winners like Hall of Famers Dan Marino and Peyton Manning demonstrate. Romo needs to call out T.O. for the locker room cancer that he is, like winner Donovan McNabb so courageously did. And Romo needs to cut the "good guy" act, and spread around town tales of his boorishness, as a winner like Jim Kelly does.

6) If Tony Romo has the bad sense to be photographed outside of the Metroplex one week before a playoff game, that will cause Jacques Reeves to suck in coverage and Anthony Henry to miss a tackle giving Amani Toomer a touchdown. It's a lack of leadership that ricochets throughout the organization. Leaders stay outside of the sights of a camera phone, unlike losers like Tony Romo.
