Behold The Ballad Of Tony Romo In This Fan-Made Video Of His Greatest Fails
By Neal Lynch
This fan-made fail video shows a compilation of Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo bumbling, stumbling, fumbling, and throwing interceptions.
The content mostly comes from what transpired last season when Romo played two games before getting hurt then rushed back from injury only to play two more games in November and get hurt again to end his 2015 campaign.
Is it safe to say this might be the last season New York Giants fans have to watch Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo? After breaking his collarbone a bajillion times, the 36-year-old signal caller appears to be riding into the sunset.
Oddly enough, despite throwing five touchdowns against seven interceptions, Romo still went 3-1 while all other Cowboys QBs (Brandon Weeden, Matt Cassell, and Kellen Moore) went 1-11. As much as Dallas thinks they can win with Romo at the helm, the team has enjoyed only two winning seasons in the past seven.
Romo’s also got four more years left on his contract, with massive dead cap tied to his release, so, the Cowboys would be in a world of hurt if Romo can’t stay healthy or experiences a severe decline in performance.
On top of that, many believe Dallas was outmaneuvered to get Romo’s heir apparent with a few teams leapfrogging the Cowboys to snag top prospects like Paxton Lynch, Jacoby Brissett, Connor Cook, Paxton Lynch, Christian Hackenberg, and Cody Kessler before settling on Dak Prescott. At the moment, I don’t see that as a major fail, but Cowboys fans must get a little antsy remembering the carousel of QBs that came between Troy Aikman and Romo. Not sure the 2017 crop of top prospects inspires reassurance either.
As much as I’d like to trumpet the Romo’s demise, when he had a consistent running game and a back who could protect him on passing plays in 2014, he went to the Pro Bowl. Now, he’s got Ezekiel Elliott, who can not only run, but catch, AND block. We could see Tony bounce back in a big way.
Most experts and analysts believe the Cowboys had a better draft than the Giants, as Dallas received mostly B+ grades while the G-Men were in the B- to C range. Though, ESPN draft guru Mel Kiper gave the Cowboys a ‘C’ while calling Big Blue’s selections “fantastic”. Admittedly, t’s still odd to me that the Big D would draft Notre Dame linebacker Jaylon Smith knowing the dude won’t suit up at all this coming season.

It’ll be interesting to see how Tony Romo is remembered. What’s his legacy gonna be? Is he a poor man’s Dan Marino? A Roger Staubach without the supporting cast? Tony’s given the Giants plenty of headaches, but, in the end, a couple Lombardis have been just what the doctor ordered.
