“indolent”? Really? Organized the best attended players only workouts in the league and yet, you claim he’s lazy and slouthful? Try again. And BTW, weak-minded individuals don’t shoot 66 on national TV. That takes talent and mental strength.

@1bigtex – I’m actually shocked that you Big Texas boys continue to defend his weak , woosy butt. There was a time that he’d of been whooped LONG before now. Have you lost your edge or just become emotional. “He’s my quarterback man… sniff sniff.”

@melonhead – BS. Troy Aikman is immensely respected for his performance. Tony Romo is immensely disrespected for his indolent attitude and weak, weak, weak, mind. Did I mention weak mind?

He’s not getting into fights, or driving drunk, or mouthing off on Twitter, or being accused of sexual assault. Give it a rest.

Win in the post season. What a novel idea.

————————————————————-

Novel idea, but that doesn’t reflect reality. He’s the Cowboys QB, so even if he wins a Super Bowl it won’t quiet his critics. Troy Aikman won three and it didn’t quiet his critics. Actually, it made it worse. There’s really no need to defend against the sniping because the sniping is groundless in the first place. It’s just fun to point out how groundless it is. Don’t take it as a defense. Take it as a counter-assault of facts against an offensive that typically has no basis in fact.

Personally I think it’s pretty impressive that he is doing something that’s basically a hobby and he is that successful at it. And I’m a Pats fan so I don’t have any skin in the game.

You can thank Jerry.

On the other side there are emotional Cowboy fans with little defense against the sniping, except for tears, rants, and rage.

Ever since Jimmy’s departure, the Cowboys have been no more than a Six Flags rollercoaster ride. Ups/downs with a sudden stop at the end.

There is one thing that the Cowboys can do to avoid the backlash, the shots, the bashing…
Win in the post season. What a novel idea.

He’s a Dallas Cowboy.

Don’t be jealous that nobody cares about Matt Cassel. He may still win a playoff game someday.

Does everybody that hasn’t won a Super Bowl suck in your opinion? You say that Romo doesn’t want to win a Super Bowl… I’d like to see what convoluted logic led you to that opinion. I mean who doesn’t want to win a Super Bowl? It means more money, more recognition, more blonde hotties, the things that you say drove Romo to the level he’s currently at.

I do look forward to seeing the shots of of new pretty blonde wife in the box. A Real Celebrity.

That’s good for a 101.5 passer rating. Only Peyton Manning has a better passer rating (103.7) than Romo since 2006 in those situations. Time to acknowledge that no QB is an island.

Wasn’t even drafted, has played only 4 seasons and is somehow a failure when it took the precious Peyton 8 to win a SB and how many to win a playoff game?

Give me a damn break.

Anyway, did you know: Tony Romo’s passer rating has been above 90 in each of the 5 seasons he’s been Dallas’ quarterback. That’s pretty awesome.

That guy is a middle of the road average QB from Western Illinois or whatever. His dream was to be a starting NFL QB, make a lot of money, be well known and to get the pretty blonde. He has achieved that goal.

He doesn’t have the desire to win a SuperBowl. None, Nada..and he never will.

Maybe you can join him on the golf course in January, and watch the playoffs after he finishes 18 holes.

I guess they use a VERY loose definition of “celebrity”.
