The answer to that question is: Highly unlikely. With Tony Romo gone, the Dallas Cowboys would be completely lost. We don’t have a young LSU grad named Matt Flynn as a back up either. We’ve got a Texas A&M graduate named Stephen McGee.
Rooommmoooooo
Is there anyone out there comfortable with McGee playing more than a pre-season game? If you answered ‘yes’ to this question then I urge you to reconsider. Honestly, I’d be more comfortable with Vinny Testaverde out there than Stephen McGee, but I’m not a coach and I think Vinny retired, who knows. The point is that maybe someday McGee will be ready for more than just a pre-season game, until that time its Romo 100%. Why, because he is a great football player and one tough S.O.B.
Let’s take a look at Romo’s career statistics: 2,592 pass attempts, 1,672 completions for a 64.5% completion percentage. That’s better than Troy Aikman’s 61.5%, Tom Brady’s 63.8%, and Eli Manning’s 58.4%. That completion percentage should be enough to prove that Romo is not the Cowboys problem. We saw Romo engineer some clutch drives this year and we also saw Romo throw games away. But is Romo the one to blame? All Quarterbacks throw interceptions, Troy Aikman threw 165 touchdowns to 141 interceptions in his career but he still won games and three Super Bowls to boot. So if Romo is such a good quarterback, why have we not made it to the Super Bowl? I think it lies with every other facet of our game.
