Almost exactly three-years-ago, I first wrote that Tony Romo should be fired as the quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys. I said then and again now that Romo is a good quarterback, but what the Cowboys need is a great one.
Tony Romo reminds me of most of the friends I've had during my life. When things are going well, those friends are always around to cheer you on. However, at the first sign of trouble they disappear. The same is true of Tony Romo. When things are going well for Dallas on the field he plays great - but when the pressure is turned up he completely falls apart.
Tonight, Romo's five interceptions were the single driving force behind why the Dallas Cowboys lost to the Chicago Bears. I expect Tony Romo to stand before reporters in the morning taking the blame for losing the game, but nothing else will happen except he will do it again before the season is over.
Starting quarterbacks in the NFL are paid millions of dollars per year. Doesn't it make sense that the Dallas Cowboys could find a great quarterback for the same money they are paying a good one in Tony Romo?
I am no fan of Jerry Jones, but even his huge ego should feel some pain when he watches his pride and joy quarterback lose a game like the one tonight. There are now three disappointing seasons when Tony Romo has blown a big game or two. It's time for Jerry Jones to "cut bait" and fire his starting quarterback.
Just look at the caliber of play from Robert Griffin III (RG3) for the Washington Redskins. In my opinion, he is already better than Tony Romo and he has only started four games in his NFL career. Come on Jerry, the time has come to show Romo the door and get about the business of finding a great quarterback that won't throw an interception every time he is pressured.

Jerry Jones has replaced almost if not all of the starting offense, he needs to wake up and get rid of Romo. I have been a fan of the Cowboys since the sixty's but " America's Team " ????? No Superbowl Since 1993 ???,That's twenty Years next Year ??? How many more Years does Romo get to lose ????
There is talk that Tony Romo will get a contract extension soon from Jerry Jones.
From the Sporting News: " With eight turnovers the past two games and five interceptions in Monday's 34-18 loss to the Bears, Romo has put the Cowboys season and any potential contract extension on notice.
If he and the Cowboys don't turn it around, owner Jerry Jones may decide to go in another direction. Remember it was Jones who declared before the season that the window was closing on this group and they need play in 2012 with a sense of urgency to make a playoff run."
The latest news from Cowboys management is they expect Tony Romo to bounce back again.... Right!!
