Time to go!!
I want to see him go out like Elway with us. It a business, but Romo put up with some bad management almost most of his career. They really just learned how to build around him.Why not? like seriously
The bigger part is i wasn't a fan furing the superbowl years. My first year following the cowboys, we went 6-10 and the next year we got eliminated by the cardinals in the wildcard. Steven a smith is an idiot but when he brags about the mediocrity of the last two decades thats my time as a cowboy fan. I understood and was taught from a young age as a football fan that its almost impossible to compete/contend in this league without a real qb. Aikman wasn't that inpressive by the time i became a boys fan. I was never hyped for the Carter selection, even after the year we went 10-6. I had to scavage through the ryan leaf/ clynt storner/ anthony wright starts. It was around this time (specifically the ryan leaf signing) that I realize jerruh was a madman and problem. Testaverde was joke. I had some hope for Drew Henson but that quickly evaporated when he coukdnt get snaps ahead of testaverde sorry ass. And then comes drew bledsoe. I wasnt a fan of this deal. I didnt hate it either. But i felt we could at least win with him but i wasnt happy about the future(long term) then in 06 preseason romo caught my eye. It was something about him. He didnt outplay bledsoe but you could see "it". That first game against carolina, i got the same feeling i had this pass sunday. Relief. Confidence. Hope. Faith. I hadn't felt that way the first 10 years i was a cowboys. Romo gave me that feeling as a starting qb of the cowboys, after i had endured 10 dfferent starting qbs previously. Thats frustrating. But for the next 10 years i always watch the whole game and entire season as long as Romo was healthy. Just always felt there was a chance to compete and contend as long as he was back there as qb.
As a fan of any team and sport, we invest time and money. The only payback really we want is to feel at the end of the day that our squad has a chance to compete, realistically. You don't do that in the nfl without a franchise qb. You dont do that in the nba without a franchise player, preferably a big. Cuz if its a wing then you need two or three franchise players. Theres not a worst feeling in the world as fan than to enter a season, matter of preseason or training camp knowing you dont have chance to comtend for a trophy that season. I haven't had that feeling in decade thanks to Romo.
