Damn. The end of an era
Romo was the guy who carried us through the dark ages. We weren't shyt after Troy and before him. We were 5-11 Dave Campo status before he put us on his back.
I'll always have love for Romo. Just an awful way to end a career here in Dallas. I'm not trying to hear shyt about 2 playoff wins or 8-8. fukk that. This is a team sport and he carried some awful teams with awful defenses and awful olines that had no business winning more than 4 or 5 games with a league average QB.
Most 4th Quarter comebacks and GW drives since 2006 but the media and opposing fans have slandered his reputation and his entire career will never be appreciated because of it.
Playing for America's Team is the double edge sword. All his heroics are on national television, but nobody wants to remember that. They only want to remember the times he fukked up on SNF or MNF. He's no more fukkery-prone than guys like Peyton, Favre, Rivers, or Stafford were and are.
Romo and McNabb are the most unfairly hated on players of my generation. They did everything they could with the team around them. Not every great player gets to win titles. That's the nature of sports. TMac never won shyt but that doesn't mean he wasn't a great player. NFL QBs are either diamond status with rings or utter garbage that never won shyt. It's not fair, but that's the nature of sports.
fukk Patrick Crayton for 2007
fukk Dean Blandino and our flabby defense for 2014
All that being said, Dak is the QB. He has earned it. No fukking way can we put Romo back in right now or at any other point in the season. Dak deserves to play this out.
I'd rather Tony retire than have to see him wear another team's jersey
