The answer came Thursday in a phone call to the Florida Keys. And for a former head coach who treated turnover-prone players as if they were Taliban, Jimmy Johnson surprised me, no, actually, he shocked me. "I watched the Giants game," Jimmy said, "Like everyone else, I couldn’t believe what I was seeing there a couple of times with Tony. "But if I were still coaching today, I’d want Tony Romo to be my quarterback. I know everybody is down on him right now, but I am 100 percent sure he can be a big winner in this league". "Absolutely no doubt in my mind you can win what you want to win with Tony. He’d be my quarterback." After three picks like the other night, and those being a major factor in a loss, Romo might also be a dead quarterback if Jimmy were coaching him, But it’s by far the nicest evaluation anybody even remotely connected with the NFL has had this week about Romo. Coming from Jimmy, who would have thunk it? Source: Randy Galloway, Star-Telegram.com
