Of course, he's (Romo) a football player. But (unfortunately) recent history has shown everyone that he's become a somewhat fragile one. He needs to be smart (uhhh..."smart-er") in how he conducts himself when he has the ball; ie: see Brady...Peyton...etc
Scrambling to extend the play should no longer be an option for Tony; he needs to understand the risk / consequences. At this age, he appears to be running in quicksand...and these defensive linemen chasing him get paid to pound him into the turf.
Opposing defenses have a Bulls Eye painted squarely on his back (not to mention his collarbone). Take Romo out and they go from 12-4 (2014) to 4-12 (2015).....pretty simple math, isn't it?
The additions of Zeke and Alfred (Morris) were meant to bolster the running game. Take pressure off their defense....and certainly take pressure off Romo and the passing game.
The Cowboys' O-line has the talent / skill to make Dallas one of the more prolific rushing teams in the NFL this season. That rushing attack will serve the Cowboys well....and keep Romo upright most if not all season. However....
So long as he understands throwing the ball away when it becomes necessary
is a positive play.
Romo is a FOOTBALL PLAYER.. Don't those guys get tackled every now and again? How come he has to sit out the whole freaking season every time he gets tackled? Guess he gets 60 mil no matter what.
