Operation Sports Forums - View Single Post - I have a genuine question about Tony Romo

What makes Matt Ryan, Jay Cutler, Aaron Rodgers, or Carson Palmer better than Romo? None have won a playoff game either. Three have only had one good season. Two haven't even played in a playoff game. Why is Romo held to a different standard than every other starting QB? If the failures of the Cowboys are thrown onto Romo's shoulders, Cutler certainly deserves some flack for leading the most monumental December collapse in NFL history.

Romo has put up historically great efficiency stats in his three years as a starter. He has had several Pro Bowl caliber seasons. Like it or not, he's a proven QB. As evidenced by how terrible they were without him last season, he is not the product of a great supporting cast. He is a valuable piece of their offense.

People need to get over the Cowboys hate already. Unless you're an Eagles, Giants, or Redskins fan, it's really just annoying. I understand that you're sick of the overexposure they get on ESPN, but the bandwagon hatred for a team that's largely been irrelevant for a decade and a half is just sad and pathetic.
