Who is Tony Romo?

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.

Romo's luster appears to fading already, and the NFL wants to strike while the iron is still holding at least some heat. Not hard to figure this one one out: "Guy with goofy name from small school unseats famous veteran and wins for hard-ass coach." It's a pretty simple script, really.

Hopefully the bubble has permanently burst for Romo, I didn't see any goofy grins on his face yesterday! The Cowboys will hopefully be one and done again in the playoffs!

Are you saying that Tony Romo is the entire reason the Cowboys are 6-2? If so, could it be reasonably assumed that Romo could be forced on to any other team in the league and win 75% of his starts regardless of his numbers?

Romo deserved the probowl because he has accomplished more in his 9 starts than anyone in the NFC has in 15, exception to Brees and Bulger who also made the pro bowl.

And the Cowboys wouldn't be where they are with Bledsoe, only because Bledsoe was horrible, not necessarily because of anything special Romo did.
