Dallas Cowboys: Five Quarterbacks Capable of Replacing Romo
With the Dallas Cowboys finishing the season with a disappointing 8-8 season, it's clear changes need to be made.
The Cowboys had an up and down season plagued with injuries which resulted in bad play by many key positions. The offensive line took the worse of the punishment on and off the field, but was it really their fault for the like of productivity by the offense this season?
Even if Cowboys fans want to point the finger at the offensive line like many do, the responsibility of the offense running still falls on the leadership ability of the quarterback Tony Romo.
If Romo is not the man to lead the Cowboys, and clearly with an 0-6 record in key games has shown he is not the man here are five quarterbacks capable of getting the job done.

Tired of coming up short at the end of seasons filled with excuses. Only thing that matters to me is championships and Romo is 0-6 in that department since taking over. He couldn't even compete with Favre when he did finally win a playoff game against the Eagles. 34-3 against the Vikings? Was he that happy he finally won he forgot about the game in Minnesota?
Well said Juan. I know Romo has his faults, but he has wow'd just as much. If we could build the o-line and get a competent offensive scheme to fit the strengths of our current offensive weapons, I believe we could go further. Only until then can I really assess whether Romo is a choker or not.
Yes,it is true that Romo has not played well when the bright lights are on. That is a fact, but why is that? Is the answer because he had protection in the pocket or because the receivers are running the correct routes? Perhaps it the defense forcing the quarterback to make a mistake. Romo has a reputation for extending plays because he wants the play to succeed, which requires him to move out of the pocket as a result of the line breaking down or the receivers not getting open. Is it all Romo's fault for trying to create a play? I would agree that Romo should make better decisions under pressure. However, every defense in the league knows that putting pressure on the quarterback is part of forces turnovers, which is true not only for Romo but also for other high profile QBs. You think Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, and Aaron Rogers do everything on their own? These guys have had their share of 4 and 5 INT games, but in high stakes games, they have minimized their mistakes and gotten help for other players or had much better coaches making adjusting during the game. Any lapse on Romo is usually attributed to a lapse by the O line or poor running game. How can anyone expect Romo to overcome or make up for every lapse by his teammates.
There is always gonna be 2 sides of Romo no matter what happens. That is the legacy he created to start his career. It's football gives us a way to spend our time and have things to talk. Thanks for reading and all the comments.
There will always be different opinions about Romo not playing better when the stakes are high or playing well when the stakes are low. I for one, see one side of Romo. When the offense and defense play well, everyone else looks like they played well too. I could make the same arguments about every other quarterback for that matter. I could go on and on without convincing anyone. Food for thought... Ask yourselves why did the Patriots with Tom Brady at the helm lose consecutive Superbowls to the Giants? Was it all Brady's fault? Or is Brady still a clutch QB to fans for not being able to engineer another winning drive late in those Superbowls? If Brady loses another big game like Superbowl, is he just as bad as Romo and should be replaced too? How fortunate can anyone get with the "tuck" rule and springboard to NFL elite QB status. It goes to show that having all the right tools working right at all the right times, gives you the best chance of winning games or championships. Anything short of that is enough to help you lose your mind or a game. Thanks for feeding my comments.
Cool thanks for reading.
oh of course lol, I always read my fellow writers articles
I agree if JJ would back off and let his people do there jobs I really think everyone would be surprised at how good they can be.
But only if , JJ's ego is to big!!!
