Romo Earned Goodwill With 2010, He Can Lose It Just As Easily
Tony Romo always has been a lightning rod of controversy when it comes to the topic of his ability to lead the Cowboys to the Super Bowl.
One one hand, you have the "chokers," those fans and analysts who believe Romo does have the talent, but is a choke artist who will succumb to the pressure at some point and never get the ring. Their mascot is Donovan McNabb.
The other sect is the "believers," those who think Romo has not had the best cast of characters to work with and has had poor coaching under Wade Phillips. Their mascot is Doug Williams.
Both camps make good points but the truth lies somewhere in the middle.
Romo does choke, especially in a lot of his playoff appearances. However, Wade Phillips was not a very good coach, and the team has suffered because of it.
Of all the problems the Cowboys had in 2010, Romo was not one of them. Romo seemed to have turned a corner last year and it was becoming interesting to watch him. Then he got injured.
In 2011, Romo comes into the season with the knowledge he is "the guy," and it is up to him to lead the team on the field and not screw it up.
This season will be a make-or-break year for Romo. If he is successful, the Cowboys will have a quarterback for the next three or four years, depending on durability. If Romo crumbles, the Cowboys will be in the Andrew Luck sweepstakes come the 2012 NFL Draft.
