I have much more of an appreciation for Romo now than I did when he was active.
I truly believe that had a good coaching staff been put around him, he would've won a Super Bowl.
In fact, I think you can replace Roethlisberger with him on those Steelers teams and he would've won a few just as Ben did.
Having said that, some of you guys need to stop living in this alternate reality where Romo was Tom Brady. He was a flawed QB who could really stink up the joint at times.
Furthermore, he never had what I would consider a great playoff performance. He played pretty well against Philly in 2009 and very well against Detroit in 2014, but he never had a truly great performance and that includes 2014 when most believe that was his career year.
Tony Romo played in 6 playoff games and failed to hit the 200 yard mark in 3 of those games. He never once broke 300 yards and never threw more than 2 TDs in any of those games. And yet some of you act like it was an absolute guarantee that he would've gone into that Green Bay game in 2016, fresh off ANOTHER injury, and would have just lit it up.
Come on, guys.
It's ok to have your opinion and I understand the logic in wanting to go with the superior passer. But the odds were very much against Romo playing any better than Dak did that game given his injury history, his history in coming back from injury, and his career playoff output.
This is a stupid and tired argument and it needs to just go away already.
Move on.
