After some thought I think Romo is a great qb. However he is not elite like P Manning, Brady, Brees, and Rodgers. I think he is one tier below though. I'd definitely take him over Flacco or Eli who have the rings. His problem is, and has always been the team surrounding him. Yes he has made some crucial mistakes but which of those QBs listed haven't. He is just always put in do or die situations both in game and for the season. He actually has the 3rd highest 4th quarter QBR since 2006, only behind Rodgers and P Manning. He just gets so much attention put on his mistakes and not on the times he puts the team on his back. Bottom line, he isn't good enough to take this Cowboys team all the way to the Super Bowl but he would probably be good enough to take many other teams there. Your guys thoughts?

I agree Romo is a good QB, but isn't elite. I'd take him over Flacco I think and Manning in the regular season. If he could have some playoff success, people would back off him a bit.

Romo is not a bad QB, but his environment doesn't help him. I just don't see a superbowl caliber QB in Romo, but if he's anything like Favre, he might be able to sneak one in.
It'll just make Jerry that much more insuffarble

If Romo was anywhere besides Dallas I think people wouldn't bother him as much.

It's easy to pick on Romo because he's the quarterback of the most (in)famous team in the league. He's unfairly blamed at times, but part of that is also his own fault for failures at high-profile points. The fumble on the snap years ago, the 5 INT performance on national TV against the Bears, the collapse earlier this year on national TV. He seems to save his biggest blunders for the biggest stage.

Id take Romo on my team. He does seem to fold when it matters, but a lot of other QBs wouldnt get you in the position for it to matter. He threw two key picks again yesterday, but the question I had is, with a 23 point lead at halftime, why did Dallas only run the ball 19 times? Arent they setting him up for failure at some level?

The play-calling yesterday was a firing offense in my opinion. Terrible.

Yeah the play calling was bad, the defense was bad and Romo was Romo.
