Sport is full of 'what ifs' and 'if onlys'. Romo has certainly picked up the pace this season - but he has been mostly disappointing in years gone by. I for one are so pleased we have got Aaron as our quarter-back. I don't think Romo would have surpassed Rodgers' achievements if things had been different. Can't wait for Sunday evening. It's gonna be good.
IMHO Romo has often unfairly been the scapegoat for significant dysfunction within that organization. Had he been a Packer he would likely have a much better reputation in the league.
That is correct. This is a kid who went undrafted and we almost cut. He was a side-arm passer coming out of college with weird mechanics. He fought for the right to be where he is now.
Romo, up until this season, was the most underrated QB in the league.
Romo would certainly have more success if he was a Packer, just because he would be surrounded by better people.

Totally agree with that. Unfortunate that his prime was kind of wasted. Hard to believe he's like 35 already.
What are you opinions as a Cowboys fan on Jerry Jones' role within the organization?

It seems as if Jerry's role has lessened, even if he doesn't want to admit it. Will McClay and Garrett seem to be making most of the player and personnel decisions.
After the 3rd 8-8 season where Jerry decided who the OC and DC is, Jason finally convinced Jerry to let him hire his own staff. So he hired Linehan, a good friend of his, as his OC and promoted Marinelli to DC, and whoop de do, it's working. Linehan and Romo especially seem to have a perfect connection, and Romo has never been so efficient.
Back in May, I'm sure Jerry would have loved to draft Manziel. Jethro even said that "OGs are the types of picks that get you to 8-8". But Garrett and McClay reasoned with him. And it's all working.
So basically, Jerry gets to pretend he's a GM while Will McClay does the GM stuff.
You don't think!?! You don't think!?? I know that is just as much of a fact as the sun rising in the east!I don't think Romo would have surpassed Rodgers' achievements if things had been different. Can't wait for Sunday evening.

I'm quite pleased Romo never became a Packer.....had he, we would not have drafted Rodgers. I consider Rodgers a far superior QB over Romo. Romo is a lot like Stafford and Cutler, has the tools but not consistent enough with them or his decisions.
Not if your standing at one of the poles.You don't think!?! You don't think!?? I know that is just as much of a fact as the sun rising in the east!
Rodgers fell into our laps in the draft. Some people wanted to take him because we didn't quite know what we had in Romo yet.
Tony Romo has always been consistently good, and I can assure you he is 100,000,000x the QB Cutler and Stafford are.
The Cowboys have been able to win the SB multiple times with Jones at the helm but none with Romo at QB -- although according to you that's not been the problem. So, what is the problem?It is so blatantly apparent that some of you have no clue about football outside of what happens in Green Bay. Tony Romo is not a bad quarterback at all to even put him in the same category as cutler is pathetic and shows a complete lack of intelligence. Here's a question for you name all of the quarterbacks in the NFL that have a higher career passer rating than Tony Romo. I'll give you a hint you can use one finger to count them.
Tony Romo has basically never been the problem for the Dallas Cowboys Jerry Jones has been the problem for the Dallas Cowboys.

Well, that's all good to know. Does that mean that this year's team is not really all that good since JJ is still in charge? But if it is good then who's responsible if Jones is really the problem?First of all, this is not the same Jerry Jones that was there when we were winning championships in the 90's.
Jerry got jealous that Jimmy Johnson was getting a lot of the credit, tried to make it apparent that he was the one who was responsible for success, and then Johnson decided to high tail it. Same thing with Parcells who didn't want T.O. but JJ was hellbent on getting him here.
Jerry Jones has the dubious honor of running off Tom Landry, Jimmy Johnson, and Bill Parcells.
