The Problem with Tony Romo is Jerry Jones !
Tony Romo the Hero, Tony Romo the Goat. It just depends on the week, the day or maybe the moment. This guy moves from the Penthouse to the Outhouse and back more times than I can count. With a career 1-4 play-off record and just one wild card win in 7 years, he still draws the full support of his owner Jerry Jones and it looks like the Cowboys will continue to ride him like an elevator, up and down and often stuck in between floors. What I don’t understand is why does he get that kind of cushion in his job. The fans are ready to crucify him, while the owner sits there and vilifies him.
There is nothing wrong with his career stats, he has a lifetime 64.1 completion percentage and he has thrown for almost 18,000 yds and 125 TD’s. He has size, toughness, ability and he has the full support of his front office and his coaches and players. It’s just that Tony finds as many ways to lose as he does to win. His losses or collapses if you will are epic, this latest one against the Detroit Lions is mind-boggling. After a brilliant first half by Romo and with his team up by 24 points in front of the hometown crowd, with 12.5 minutes to go in the game Romo throws 2 pick 6 ‘s and a third interception. What are you kidding me, all Tony had to do was hand the ball off the rest of the way – or even take a knee. How does that happen. Why didn’t his own guys just tackle him before he could throw the ball ? Where is the rational behind that, where is the Head Coach, who is calling the plays, where is Brash Owner Jerry Jones.
After 7 years though I think the Cowboys have to start thinking about where to go from here. One and done from the wild card spot doesn’t seem like it should cut it from the NFL’s most valuable franchise. Jerry Jones is an out-spoken owner and self-proclaimed leader. He has built a temple to football in Dallas and it seems like the fans have had enough of the Tony Romo show. It’s not like he has not had the chance to succeed its just that when he gets to the door he seems to flush it down the toilet. I think the jury is in on Romo and they have voted guilty as charged. The problem with Tony Romo is Jerry Jones. He is the guy who keeps betting the franchise on him and doesn’t bring anyone in behind him, making it an all Romo or nothing scenario and robbing the fans of any kind of hope for a different ending.
At some point you have to ask yourself is this the guy who can take us to the promised land ? If the answer keeps coming up no – isn’t it time to make other plans or are we going with the definition of stupidity here – meaning doing the same thing over and over again but expecting different results.
What do you say Jerry Jones is the elevator going up or down or maybe just stuck between floors ?
