In all fairness, that's a load of bollocks.
I'd shove a rusty knife up my arse to have Romo on the Jets.
You have Sanchez and Geno Smith, it's understandable. They're awful.

Following his 4th quarter interception against the Redskins knocking them out of the playoffs last year:
"The Cowboys (8-8), meanwhile, will miss the playoffs for the third straight season, having stumbled in a make-or-break end-of-regular-season game for the third time in five years."
How are the playoffs tossups?
I have put together this handy graphic for those that are visual learners.
Manning has better numbers in all of those categories except interceptions, where Romo has him 10-9, and rushing yards. Unless you mean Eli. In that case, you should change your graphic to "Being on a team that has won Superbowls"
He has a 1-3 record in the playoffs and is 0-3 in games with a playoff berth on the line. For an organization that is supposed to be one of the best, that can't be good enough. Jerry Jones is a moron, but he can't be blamed for the games that Romo has thrown/fumbled away late in the fourth quarter. It would be one thing if his overall record was great, but it's not.
Tell us about the concept of clutch, Sir Matt.
In 2007 he was a rookie who took over halfway through the season and lost by 1 point in Seattle.
In 2008 the Cowboys lost by 4 at home to the eventual SB champion Giants.
In 2010 the Cowboys got blown out in Minnesota to Bret Favre's vikings, despite Romo completing 63% of his passes.
In 2010 they Cowboys blew out the Eagles with Romo completing 67% with 2 touchdowns and 0 interceptions.
In the playoffs every game is mostly a tossup. So out of 4 games, the Cowboys should win 2. So if Romo had managed to run the botched snap in against Seattle, he would be 2-2 instead of 1-3 and none of this would mean anything.
You're talking shit.

It's key. Eli may be a moron, but he's got "clutch" in the playoffs. So do all the greats. Elway, Favre, Montana, Young, Staubach, Brady, Peyton etc. As the most important player on the team, the pressure is all on the quarterback.
http://www.pro-football-reference.com/leaders/comebacks_career.htm Romo is near the upper end of active quarterbacks, but better than either Manning? No.
Greatness is judged on championships. Pele, Maradona, Jordan, Byrd, Magic, Staubach, Montana, Favre, etc. Dan Marino was ridiculously good, but what did he win, aside from a cameo role in Ace Ventura: Pet Detective? Would he give up all of his passing records for a ring? You bet he would.
Eli > Romo. Sorry Eboue.
Christ, another cheapshot hit not called but the league is reviewing the incident. Nasty. Blocker led with his helmet into the player's upper torso/neck/chin area with the opponent in a defenseless position - never saw it coming.

Wasting their time, no chance he's getting punished for that. Carlson called it a perfectly legal hit at the time too.

Applies/removes blame to Romo, Garrett, and the defense. That's a very fair assessment. I disagree on some of his comments in regards to Garrett. Plenty of Cowboys fans I was chatting/texting during the game kept wondering why they weren't running the ball more often in the second half with a large lead. This guy claims no one asked why few run plays when Dez caught a touchdown pass on a drive that featured lots of pass plays. That's blatantly false and simply an opinion of a writer that apparently didn't watch the game within a set of fans, or ask for postgame opinions. When Dallas got in the redzone on that drive, the first two plays were incomplete passes. I kept wondering why not run the ball on first or second down after Murray had just torched GB for a couple big runs on the drive. That touchdown was pure brilliance by Dez - and that close to another incompletion and field goal attempt.
