I’m not saying that Tony Romo isn’t good, but I believe all the hype is a bit overblown. He has only started five games and people are already titling him as the greatest Cowboys QB ever. Sure the stats look good, but look at the receivers he is throwing to. He has Terrell Owens on his right, Terry Glenn on left, and Jason Witten as TE. That is a very good receiving core. I bet if Vinny Testiverde was the Cowboys quarterback now he would also be named the Cowboys’ savior.
Come on, he had four touchdowns against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers from only a few yards from the goal line. Any of those plays could have been running plays and at the end of the day Romo could have had only one TD in the stat book. Two of those touchdowns passes were so easy that even an old blind man could have thrown those passes. OK, Romo is far better than Bledsoe but he is no Peyton Manning.
Ok, Romo has been incredible these past five games. He's #1 in ratings, #1 yards per attempt, #1 in TD%, #2 in Pct, and he's already #10 in TD's. He has played extremly well but it has only been 5 GAMES. He has great vision and very quick reflexes. So far he has been playing like an elite QB, but it has only been a brief span of games. Who knows if this is the hottest he will ever be?
Romo is getting all the credit for the emergence of the Cowboys, when it is the team in whole that should be getting the credit. The defensive if SO underrated and could be one of the best in the league. They shut down Peyton Manning and the Colts. Isn’t that enough to gain the spotlight for having one of the greatest defenses in the league. The Cowboys rank #3 in the league with only 279 yard against. The 3-4 defensive scheme has caused problems for many teams including the Colts. The secondary is pretty strong with Terrance Newman at CB and Roy Williams at safety. Everyone has trouble running the ball against the Cowboys. They rank #4 in the NFL against the rush and have giving the opposing running backs little day light.
Because of the upset of the Titians over the Giants 24-21 in a thriller, the Cowboys have a slim one game lead over the Giants in the standing. Next week against the Giants is a big week for Romo to prove to me that he is an elite QB.

Aikman had Irvin, Harper, and Novacek.
Again, three great players to pass to. Another great receiving core. Aikman also had a better RB along with the Moose.
So, IMO, you stand corrected.
On your 'two easy' pass TD's.
Tell me how we got there again? It's called Romo throwing the ball. You don't break the game down like that.
He's #1 in ratings.
He's #1 yards per attempt.
He's #1 in TD%
He's #2 in Pct.
He's already #10 in TD's.
Dude, open your eyes already.
I really hope your not trying to be a real sports writer here. I may be a cowboys fan, but you cant really be accounted for being bias when you look at the stats and numbers. Bledsoe had the exact same opportunity Romo did and couldnt get it done. QB has plenty more responsibilities than just throwing the ball. You dont account for Romos sixth sense for reading the field. You dont have the best % rating by having the best recievers. You have to be able to read a defense and adapt to what the their playing, find the mis match (which Romo has a good knack of doing), and take advantage of it. My guess is you do not watch Cowboys games with much detail and just going off stats and all the talk you hear around you. I respect your opinion, but respect can only run so far when you dont credit for ANY of the positives Romo does.
Tony Romo is overrated because he BLOWS!
