IM SUPPOSED TO WRITE A LIST ARTICLE ABOUT THE UPCOMING COWBOYS @ REDSKINS GAME...BUT I WROTE THIS INSTEAD...

This season has been anything but what the fans of the Dallas Cowboys had hoped for. Not necessarily even hoped for, but expected would be the more accurate word I think. The Cowboys AND their fans came into the 2015 season thinking "this is our year" (Yea, I know what you all are thinking. "Cowboys fans ALWAYS think that every year is their year") However, this one was different. Quarterback, Tony Romo was coming off his best season of his career, and the team did the complete unexpected by going 12-4, and their season only ending due to a very controversial call against the Packers in the NFC divisional round of the playoffs. So why …show more content…

Tony Romo has been the best man under center that the Cowboys franchise has seen in many years. Even better than Aikman. Troy himself will tell you the same. As I have said many times before a ring doesn't define a quarterback but unfortunately to ignorant fans its everything. Do people realize without Romo that this team would have been in this position every year. Sitting at the bottom of the division, dreaming of the the draft on Thanksgiving? Even at 8-8 three years in a row Romo gave us fans something to hold onto and something to cheer for. Romo is not the only one to thank, but he is most defintely not the only one to blame either. Tony has grown into himself as an athlete and as a quarterback. Injuries happen, this is the National Football League. They happen. But that does not mean Tony Romo is anywhere near done. We WILL see our star that dons the #9 jersey again, and we will be so grateful that he is there. He has fought through some pretty bad injuries; broken ribs, broken finger in his throwing hand, punctured lung, a herniated disc, two broken transverse process, and a broken collar bone...three times. He has survived these and continued to thrive. To say that this most recent injury will end his career is not only ludicrous, it's …show more content…

For as many 4th quarter game winning drives, or as many yards, touchdowns and HUGE plays he has assisted in, he has been more highlighted for his failures. That is despairing, It is also very telling of the media and the people that follow it. Am I bias? No, actually I am not. Not every man that has worn the star has automatically earned my respect or admiration. However when i see raw talent. Pure, passion, dedication, and devotion like that of which Romo has displayed over his last 9 years as the Cowboys starting man under center, It tends to acquire my attention to say the least. I can talk stats all day, i can spout off numbers but in the emd no one cares about that. They care about winning. That is precisely why Romo hasn't received the credit he deserves. When Romo came out after 9 weeks on the IRDTR list and threw two interceptions, no one cared. No one said a thing, because we won. Finally after 7 heartbreaking games that ended in a loss. We finally won. Tony Romo was the cape wearing superman once again. But a mere four days later he needs to go? Pick a side, and a loyalty. Either you are with us or against us. You cant only support Tony Romo when he leads us to a
