Tony Romo is actually a pretty good QB despite the criticism |
I will go ahead and tell you that the answer is no. There won't be any suspense here. The Cowboys front office knows this is true as well, but we keep hearing Jerry Jones babble about getting back to the big game anyway. Make no mistake about it...I believe that Tony Romo is a damn good player but the Cowboys simply don't have the option of getting a better QB for a little bit. The dilemma: when you finish with a record at or near .500 every year, you draft in the middle of the 1st round. You won't find a better QB than Tony Romo with the 16th pick of the draft. The Andrew Lucks, RGIIIs and Cam Newtons are already gone and you are stuck with the Ryan Tannehill type prospects(don't get me started on Ryan Tanehill). There also aren't going to be any free agent QBs worthy of supplanting Romo as the starter...or even being groomed to be the next starter. This shows you the true value of Tony Romo as a player with his overall skillset. He can throw accurately on the run, sidestep properly in the pocket, and honestly shine when he has a supporting run game.
This was the first of many unclutch moments in Tony Romo's career |
The Cowboys are more than capable of finishing the season with a record of 12-4 if they have a consistent running game but that remains to be seen. Dallas can even win a playoff game if they make the postseason but you can surely count on one thing; Tony Romo will choke at some point in a big game. In the playoffs your QB has to be the one to lead your team into the opponent's territory. He has to be the one who commands the huddle, leads the team down the field and put them in position to win the game. Romo has failed miserably when his number is called down the stretch and it's unpleasant to the human eye. You know how the Falcons had the monkey on their back for not winning a playoff game? And they were able to get rid of it by squeaking by Seattle in the Georgia Dome...Tony Romo doesn't have it that easy. He doesn't have to win one playoff game, he needs to win 3. I am saying this because I don't think the Boys will win the NFC East this year so they will be a Wild Card (if) they make the playoffs. All this Super Bowl talk that Jerry Jones has been talking needs to be backed up. But don't expect it to happen under Tony Romo's watch
