3 THINGS COWBOY FANS NOW KNOW: 1) Dez caught the ball. Touchdown. 2) Dallas coaches, management, and fans colluded on the greatest act of DISLOYALTY ever seen in the NFL, when they acted as if Romo was nothing when he returned from injury, having replaced him with Dak. Only the DISLOYALTY of the Patriots coach and owner against Tom Brady has ever exceeded that which was given Romo. 3) Dak has produced nothing of value since replacing Romo as QB, and he never will. Romo was at his best, you discarded him, you treated him like trash, and now Dallas has “The Curse Of Tony” hanging over the franchise. And listen closely Dallas: it has gone on for years so far, and it will last for DECADES.

QBs throw interceptions. That's a given. To say he was a choke or not clutch goes against numbers and statistics. He was crazy efficient.

He was a damn good QB who never got the love he deserved.

The basic media that shits on the cowboys 24/7 ruined what was an incredible story of an undrafted free agent from a small town and small school to take the entire country by storm in 2006 by leading the biggest sports franchise in the world to the playoffs and along with that, break every single meaningful passing record the franchise had is nothing short of incredible.

Romo may not be the "greatest" quarterback of all time, or even the greatest Dallas quarterback, but he's my favorite. He's a big reason why I'm the die hard Cowboys fan I am today. My dad raised me to be a Dallas fan, but I was too young to remember Aikman's glory days. The period between Aikman and Romo was a disaster to watch. When Romo became the qb, Cowboys games were actually exciting to watch, and, as a young kid, that made me become a much bigger fan. I still think they should have let him start over Dak when he was healthy. Also, Dez caught it.

[@artimusbill]

He carried the franchise for years. Was the only reason to watch them. And I have been a Cowboys fan for 45 years. He should have had been the starter when he came back. I think the experience would have helped the team do even better that year.

[@rwieber79]

Completely agree, although being born in 79 and brought up as a Cowboys fan too I got to see the 90s Dynasty go from 1-15 Jimmy's first year to Super bowl Champs 4 years later and then 2 more Rings in 3 years. It was a great time to be a teenager and especially a Cowboys fan. But there was something different about Romo that made everything seem more fun to watch even though they didn't win Super Bowls. Anyway I'll believe to the day I die if they had given him his job back in 2016 they would have won it all that year. They had everything, just needed a veteran QB that the moment wouldn't be too big for and they had him but fell for the media pressure anyway. Also like you said Dez caught it!!! And that play remains the largest robbery in NFL history to this day.

[@Cuseball121]

Couldn’t root for the guy but definitely enjoyed watching him play, he really made some epic comebacks and pretty passes. And a great scrambler as well. Shame he didn’t get a ring.

[@crashstitches79]

St. Anthony of Dallas. We love you forever, Tony. Thanks for the blood, sweat, tears, broken bones, punctured lungs, thrills, and skills. Every Dallas franchise QB has a cool and unique story. Meredith was the local boy who went large, Staubach had his Naval commitment and the crazy QB dramas that surrounded him, Danny White was the understudy backup QB (and punter) who grew up to be the starter, Troy had his OU/UCLA transfer and second dance with Barry Switzer, and Dak was the afterthought 4th rounder who blew up in his rookie year after taking over for the crippled starter... ...but to be a walk-on undrafted free agent and become a record-setting superstar who holds it down like a boss for a decade while dating pop starlets, all at the highest profile position in all of sports? And then to basically become an elite color commentator at the highest level immediately upon retiring from the game? That's just legendary.
