How do you think he got the reputation of "the cowboys are not going to win anything as long as Romo is the qb"
If he does so bad, how did he generate his stellar QB rating?
I base nothing on "color commentating". They are so biased its pathetic. They will hype one QB to the skies, and trash another, while the 2nd QB has better production.
Just like Peyton. Romo is a decent qb who can put up numbers but he's not a clutch playoff qb. In clutch games he does something to cost Cowboys points. He just needs to show up in the playoffs. Until then he just another Dan Marino. Great numbers but fail in the playoffs by making dumb mistakes.
For the last 15 years the Colts have had one on the best QB's in the league without a lot else. Peyton had Marvin Harrison, Reggie Wayne, and Edgerrin James to help him out. On the defense the Colts had Freeney, Mathis, and all world play from Bob Sanders for 21/2 seasons. The Colts have had a very shallow talent pool with some really stinky play from both defensive and offensive lines. The one season they won it Bob Sanders came in for the playoffs as a one man wrecking crew blowing up running backs that erased the many deficiencies of the defense.
It is the same story every season. Weak softees up front and some magic from the QB that wins a lot games but is exposed by playoff teams in the post season.
