I would agree with your assessment. You should be Joey Sunshine's spokesperson, Matty.

I lived in Dallas for 9 years, and I am friends with many Cowboys fans. My general impression is that Romo is underrated by the fans, not overrated. I hear Cowboys fans often say how much Romo sucks, and I'm constantly reminding them what their team was like with Quincy Carter and Drew Bledsoe. During the time between Aikman and Romo the Cowboys were one of the worst teams in the league.

I think Romo is good, but not good enough to meet the media/public expectations.

Agree. I also think that he will never win a superbowl. Not a shocking proclamation, but despite being a good QB, he just doesn't play well in December/playoffs. He also doesn't get much help from his team, but...

I think SmootSmack is right when he said the other day that Romo is good but not likely to get much better than he already is. He's kind of reached Frerotte status now, and with Kyle Orton as the backup the Cowboys really have no future at QB while the Redskins have RG3 and KC1

Yeah that's right. SmootSmack just talked about SmootSmack in the 3rd person.

Having Tony Romo for a QB is like nailing the prom queens butchy looking sister instead of the prom queen.

Having Romo as a QB is like taking the prom queen to prom. Getting her in the bedroom later, getting almost there, then she says no.

Can excite you but never satisfies you.

Romo has ability but being a good QB is about more than being smart enough to know the offense and physically able enough to execute it. You still have to have the demeanor and personality to make the right decisions when the bullets are firing. He isn't very good at that.

Tony Romo is an above average QB. That is all he is. He can put up numbers but never can put up wins. He has not been very impressive this year at all. The Cowboys put up 16 points against Tampa... Redskins put up 24 with a rookie QB who honestly is playing better than Romo.

Once you put expectations on him, he never preforms. If you have none for him than he plays very well. He is nothing special. Just happens to play for the Cowboys.
