Who is Tony Romo?

How many other threads are on the cowboys???? Actually I don't see too many. This thread was started because the media and not Redskins fans are making a big deal of this guy. Ill give credit where it is due, Romo has been successful and no one can take that away from him. All I am trying to say is stop beating this thing into the ground, don't really want to hear about him anymore.

There are really only two "anti-cowboy" threads right now. The other two started out simply as news articles. I would think the Parcells coming back thread and the TO spitting thread can be found on most other NFL boards especially NFC East teams.

He deserves it over the numerous other NFC QBs with better stats and have played THE WHOLE SEASON? I think not. It's all a popularity contest. Hell, Vick has better numbers and made it last year. It's all about the flavor of the day.

I agree, Vick deserves to get in, his team is in the hunt, he broke the single season rushing record by a qb. He deserves to go.

Well, don't get me wrong. I'm not Vick proponent whatsoever, I just feel like Romo is getting in based on media coverage alone.

Romo has had a ton of hype no doubt, but he's also performed very well as much as I hate to say it.

Does anyone really think the Cowboys would be where they are with Bledsoe? I don't.

I agree. I just don't think he's deserving of a Pro Bowl nod after just a few games. Hell, there were PLENTY of players last year doing better than him at their positions and didn't get the hype he got, and guess what? They didn't make it either.

It's all the media hype machine.

Your putting too much emphasis on numbers and not the outcome. 6-2 and a playoff spot is what people are looking at, not stats. Romo's stats, if you dont think he deserves a pro bowl are awesome. Highest qb rating and completion % in NFC. You guys all know QB's will always get more attention than any other player on the team.

The QB position itself is a media hype machine.

There are other situations, namely people like Damon Huard who held down the fort after years in obscurity. Where was the hype for him? He didn't make the Pro Bowl and had similar numbers.

He didnt keep his starting job is the main difference there. Had he been able to keep it, maybe he would of went. Then again there is much more of a selection of productive qbs in the AFC not NFC.

Im sure people who watched the NFL network broadcast last night saw them pushing this "Who is Tony Homo?" program that will be aired tonight. Seriously this makes me sick, he's had a couple of good games, but I could really care less who he is. I really hate how the NFL does this, why are they pushing this guy so much. I mean im not just being a bitter skins fan, I mean come on the guy wins a couple games with loads of offensive talent around him and everyone is hanging from his nuts. I really hope he starts blowing it. Someone needs to tell the NFL network no one outside of Dallas cares. I can deal with a program about an established qb, someone who has proven he is good maybe. but come on. I don't know it just really pisses me off.

Actually, I feel they push any Cowboys player.
Look at Aikman...come on, he's not very good as a commentator.
Emmitt Smith, he's still everywhere for some reason, always making guest appearances.
Jimmy Johnson is a constant on the Fox pregame show.
Worst of all, Michael Irvin...holy cow this guy could murder someone and still be on TV.
At least Aikman and Smith are decent people, but Irvin?


Why has Jason Campbell received NO publicity, but Romo received god like status? I hope Romo chokes on TO's pickle.

It's all about timing. He played well in the first half of the season but that's basically been forgotten now that Green is back. Plus the AFC QB situation is much deeper than the NFC. You know it's deep when Brady doesn't make it, which is actually very surprising when you think about it, he's been the NFL golden boy for years now.
