Tony Romo is the Cowboys' Best Option...

All of the so-called "fans" who are clamoring for Romo to be either benched or traded need to stop wasting their breathe because that isn't going to happen... nor should it.

He is the best option that Dallas has right now and although his recent play might have knocked him off of everyone's Top 5 list, he's still an above average quarterback, which is something we haven't seen since the days of Troy Aikman.

After Aikman was forced to retire in 2001, the Cowboys have gone through 8 different quarterbacks with nothing to show for... no 13-3 seasons... no championship wins... nothing!

Romo comes along, injects some life into this dismal franchise, breaks numerous Cowboys' records and has at least got Dallas closer to winning a play-off game than any of those other 8 quarterbacks have done. Our best option is Tony Romo... whether you're sick of him or not, learn to love him, because he is not going anywhere.

Oh and on the whole, 'Let's start Jon Kitna instead of Romo,' talk... there's a quote that comes to mind from a current flamboyant Bengals' receiver who's name is 85... "Child Please!!" Kitna is the backup for a reason, and Kitna has gone through 4 different teams in his career for a reason... he is not the answer. The best option that Dallas has right now is... surprise... Tony Romo.

Why have the comparisons between Romo and Brett Favre stopped? I still feel that Romo is very much like Favre and has the talent to sustain a similar career. So look at Favre... a living legend... who plays like Romo plays... risky... which can win you games or lose you games. Favre had plenty of games that he lost because of his actions and Romo had plenty of games that he won because of his actions... just because he's already had 2 mediocre games, it's not the time to vilify the quarterback... he wants to win as much as us fans want him to.

I heard a great quote about Romo, and I will leave with it... "Tony Romo is a good quarterback who tries to be great." On some days he is great... other days he tries to be great but the game slips away from him... regardless, he is the Cowboys best option right now...

P.S.

Just something to note... this upcoming Sunday, the Dallas Cowboys will travel to Kansas City and face....the Dallas Texans...?!

Yep, you heard me correctly, the Chiefs began their franchise as the Dallas Texans in 1960 and for this game will be wearing their throwback Dallas Texans uniforms while the Cowboys will wear their retro uniforms with the star on the shoulder and white helmets (as seen in the picture above.)
