Every great quarterback needs good recievers. Its a stupid argument to pull.I don't think Romo is the best qb in the nfl or even top 3, but its pretty ridiculous how some of the Cowboy/Romo haters act like the guy is sooo terrible.

I mean I hear ya man, but he's not elite status. Manning, Brady, Brees... drop off to the rest jumbled in there.

Exactly my thoughts. Imo, Romo is in the 2nd group with Rivers,Rodgers etc.

I wasn't even trying to make a case that he's better than Brees,Peyton or Brady. Those guys are head and shoulders above the rest and they all have rings along with the all-wordly stats to prove it.

But to act like he's some garbage QB (mainly because of the star on his helmet) is biased and stupid.

I almost feel bad for him, because his numbers may regress this year and people will point that out... don't fault him for turning around and handing it off haha.

The Cowboys might not be the best team in Texas, btw.

We'll see. I'll admit though, the Texans looked very good against the Colts, but I wanna see what they can do against an elite defense.I wish Arian Foster hit the holes like that when he was at UT haha.

He did. Hence him being our 2nd leading rusher of all time, if i remember correctly. A miserable senior season away from being number 1.

He's not the most physically gifted in any way, but the one thing he can do is read blocks and find a hole. Granted, I could've run through those holes.

Dude did way to much dancing behind the line when he was here. I was pretty indifferent towards Foster when he was here. He frustrated the hell out of me with his fumbling. I know he didn't do it a lot but every damn time he did, it was in a crucial,crucial part of the game.I liked Hardesty and Coker more when we had the 3 of them. Montario couldn't stay on the field and Coker couldn't keep his head out of his ass.

Oh well, its always good to see a former Vol tear up the Nfl.

Romo> Rivers and Rogers.
Eli Manning shouldn't even be in that list you just posted.

I would take Romo over Rivers (not just for on-field performance, but for 100% less douchiness). I think enough of Aaron Rogers right now though that I'd take him over Romo. I think Rogers is ready to cut loose and disprove that Tedford products aren't winning NFL QB's.

As for Eli, yes, Eli has the hardware, but he has David Tyree's helmet to thank for that. The biggest miracle catch in superbowl history is the thing most responsible for keeping the Pats from going unbeaten.

Jury is still out on MattyIce. Flacco I was gonna mention.

Why Eli...? I'll take Mr. TonyRomo there. Palmer and McNabb are right around there, I guess.

McNabb, only because he seems like he's really been rejuvenated by a change of scenery. We'll see if it lasts, he is getting up there in age.

Palmer has always been in a weird sort of limbo in Cincinnati. Same ball park, couldn't say who is better.

I WANT Romo to do well. He is my team's QB (that's my quarterback, man :cray:) but right now the problems clearly start at the offensive line. That's something you can't overcome these days. 15 years ago this franchise put together the greatest offensive line the League has ever seen. Now they've got one that couldn't stop anything without getting a holding call.

I wish the cowboys would take a look at left tackle Marcus Mcneil from the Chargers. He's only 26 and has been to the probowl twice already. He's holding out and SD is trying to unload him.
Honestly, I would give up our 1st for that dude. This team is ready to win now.

Worth it. The goal is obviously a Lombardi trophy this season. There's no cap yet our o line is populated by knuckle draggers. WTF

Romo has the ability to do well with a patched together O Line, he can still make plays... but at a certain point it becomes a necessity.

Yeah a probowl left tackle makes the rest of the line better just with his presence. Plus it would get that dip**** Barron off the team hopefully.

You have lost your mind.

I'm not as big of a fan as I once was 5 years ago, but Bill Simmons sums up the Cowboys and Romo the best I have read in his week 1 picks

Bill Simmons makes his picks for the opening week of the 2010 NFL season - ESPN

Let's end on a Cowboys rant. The Cowboys remind me of the Kardashians in that their strongest talent is a relentless ability to remain relevant. Much like the Kardashians successfully created the illusion that they should be famous, the Cowboys successfully created the illusion that they should be a Super Bowl contender. And they didn't even have to leak a sex tape to do it. You know what Dallas' record has been since 2000? 82-78. You know how many playoff games it has won over that stretch? One. That's right … one more playoff win than Buffalo and Detroit.

As with the Kardashians, it's all about the packaging. We consider Tony Romo an elite QB because he dates celebrities and puts up big fantasy numbers; so what if he freezes in big games? We consider Jerry Jones an elite owner because he splurged on a magnificent stadium and matched wits with Ari Gold; so what if he never built a Super Bowl team without Jimmy Johnson? Dez Bryant has been reinvented as the steal of the 2010 draft based on a bunch of preseason practices that nobody saw; so what if half the league passed on him because teams thought he was a head case? Most fans consider the Dallas offense as "elite" because it has a few high fantasy picks; so what if they don't have a single elite offensive lineman? Every Cowboys Super Bowl pick includes the caveat, "They're returning 20 of 22 starters from last year"; so what if it means they're returning 20 of the 22 starters the Vikings trounced in January by 31 points?

Even the Kardashians thing makes more sense to me. They learned all their tricks from Paris Hilton; there are three of them; they have a catchy name; they don't say anything controversial or incriminating; they only date celebrities, athletes and reality-TV-ready degenerates; and Kim (their fearless leader) is the perfect goddess for her time: a multi-new-media icon (Internet, reality TV and Us Weekly) with a definite hook (her butt), a tawdry past (her sex tape) that wasn't really all that tawdry (the camerawork was bad, and you could barely see anything) and no discernible talent whatsoever (which doesn't matter, because you don't need talent to be famous in 2010). That smoke-and-mirrors routine should work in pop culture. In football? No. And yet, somehow, the Dallas Cowboys have the fourth-best odds to win this year's Super Bowl (8-1). I give up.

How so? You could certainly make a case for either but I'm not sure if that is so outlandish as you think. Rivers is 2nd alltime in passer rating with Romo 3rd. I'd take Romo over Rivers simply because of Rivers' baby fits that make him look like a tool.You can't have your quarterback always losing his composure like that.

I like Rodgers and he put up huge numbers last year, but he makes some really boneheaded throws into converage sometimes that makes me wonder what he's thinking. Just opinion tho bruh.

It's the "Yankee factor". Put 1/3 of the Yankees Hall of Famers on a non east-coast team and they are not considered nearly as good as they are.

The same goes for Romo.

While I'll admit I despise the cowboys, if you have Miles Austin on your fantasy team, you're a happy man. He has bailed my brother in law out again this week.

Lastly I'll reinterate how happy I am to see them lose.
