    All those years of front-running have not treated Dallas kindly as the rest of America loves to revel in the Cowboys’ misery. It has not been glory-hole days in Dallas for Jerry Jones in quite some time now. You cannot make it through a TV segment or article without someone bashing their psyche as a team of chokers. It’s gotten so bad that the obvious merits of Tony Romo are rarely recognized anymore. On the NFL Network’s Top 100 Players of 2013, Romo failed to make the list that included 14 quarterbacks! apparently Romo’s lone playoff win happened so long ago it’s been erased from memory, or it’s just Donovan McNabb (the guy Romo beat) forgetting again.

    Good read. I'm glad someone gets it, lol. There's no chance of changing the mind of the masses though, unfortunately.

    Saw this already on Facebook.

    Let's face it. The Romo bashers are not going to STFU until Romo gets a ring.

    Having a bunch of stats that prove you have had comeback wins doesent prevent you from being chokers. failing in those MUST WIN games is what makes you a choker.Last year tony romo no doubt choked in the 4th quarter of that game against the skins.Or when the eagles romped them in that must win game for the playoffs 44-3. Or when he muffed the hold againt the seahawks those are definitly choking moments. Sure you cant say they choke every year but they do a good amount of times. I would know its not like my team hasent choked a good amount of times but it is what it is.

    I Can't see that happening as long as Jason garrett is the head coach and Callahan is calling the plays.romo is a pretty decent qb,he has just had some miscues at unfortunate times.dropping the extra point snap is on him,but some of the late pics he through were not all on him. I could not care less if they win another game,but dumping everything on him is not really fair.

    He probably didn't read the article because there were no pictures for him to color.:icon_smile:

    No i do get what he was saying people may be a little harsh on tony romo and the cowboys but they put that on themselves with there success in the 90s just like the yankees get put under that microscope but they actually win most of the time. Im just mentioning the title of the thread and wanted to point out that they still are chokers.

    if you win in the clutch more than most QBs, you're really not a choker. if the only reason you're in a position to win is BECAUSE you do well in the clutch, you're really not that big of a choker at all. you can't always be clutch.

    You are right gotta give the cowboys credit for that but at the same time when its a big must win game they still come up short and that's what people remember. Either way its a new year anything can happen they can break out of that.
