Romo is not a bad QB. He's actually a pretty good QB, IMO. He is not an elite QB and it seems like, every year, the on-screen announcer's I watch hype him as one. It's always everybody but Romo's fault - WR need to be in the right place, the line's not giving him protection, etc.

I think the announcer's will fall off the Romo bandwagon faster this year b/c they may finally realize he is - as you say - "as good as he is going to get" - a QB who can extend plays that, at seemingly inopportune times, makes a really bad mental mistake. I think they started to come to that realization at the end of last year but, seemingly, with the new season, all things Dallas become shiny and new in the media's eyes.

I know you disagree that ESPN and the NFL network have this desire for Dallas to succeed, and maybe I am just watching it threw B&G glasses, but it really seems to me that Dallas has, in the recent Romo past, gotten an undeserved prominence in their air time.
