Yes, the defense has played poorly, but I still believe that as a quarterback and team leader, Romo has failed, and he has choked in critical situations. And yes, it started with throwing away games at the beginning of the year, games which if they had won, they would have won the East.

Difference of opinion apparently, but the Cowboys are still failing to live up to potential each year, and each year Romo is still their quarterback. Romo always has very good stats at the end of the year, but he gets to watch the playoffs on television.

But to be fair, I'll revisit this thread during the 2012 season, and we can talk about Romo some more. I have no issue with eating crow.

I hope you don't eat crow, as I'm a Giants fan and would love to see him fail. I just think you could be a lot worse off at the QB position then Romo.

75% of the league would probably love to have him right now, regardless of his playoff history.

I would never argue with you that we could do worse. But that's true of every team in the league except for the one that truly does have the worst quarterback.

Look at what Eli did, beginning with that second victory over Dallas. Does anyone here really think that a Romo-led Cowboys team could reel off a string of victories like that? They came within a play of beating the Giants, as well as several other teams. You can't blame all those close losses on the defense, when ONE clutch play from Romo could have won any of them.
