Who else has been HANDED star status and done less than Romo ?

[knelson]

I'm a skins fan so I couldn't agree more.

[stikymess]

I have to go with Favre, sure hall of fame, all the stats, but I mean he will keep you in the game, but at the end if it's close it's as good as a coin toss, and as of late he has been losing that coin toss.

Shane Victorino...not sure how batting .262 is good as a leadoff batter. or in any spot at that matter

.280 lifetime and all the stolen bases? Besides, he's about 3rd or 4th among Phillies in media attention at best.

I really can't think of an example that rivals Romo. Maybe Matt Ryan on a smaller level. They keep stretching the meaning of the word "elite" until it breaks.

[Trixie]

idiotic.

Lebron is one of the best basketball talents EVER. He just hasnt won a ring yet.

But what has he done?

[fedtpels]

I hate romo so much - he fits perfectly with the cowboys douchebaggery. you just wanna punch him right in the kisser!

[Cuse0323]

Dallas never seems to want to run the ball behind that big-assed offensive line no matter how much it works. Not sure why, ego or whatever but go with what works. Romo would be a lot more effective if they had 8 or 9 guys up in the box to stop the run game......

Exactly. How many times do they have to try a WR screen that doesn't work when they could just run it down their throat. The play calling is terrible, no need for gimmicks like a fake run/pump fake, screen when you could just run the ball for 5 yards. Garrett needs to be canned, he had all that hype a couple years ago but he's an idiot. I don't know if he over thinks things or just tries to be fancy, but he needs to smarten up and adjust to how the game is going, not be stubborn.

[bruceBRUCEbruce]

romo is tremendously over-hyped, for sure. he looked so timid for most of that game last night, afraid to stand in and take a hit...

[KKoz9]

I'm so sick of seeing this guy promo'd and hyped by the networks.. what has this guy done?!

You're right, he sucks, just shows up and gets hyped for losing and playing horribly

[ProfaneReality]

nope.

[azn624]

Mark Sanchez, he sucks.

[vyomguy]

romo is good...for some reason he seems to make simple mistakes time and time again.

Agree with lebron...people keep saying he is the next jordon but he hasnt achieved anything.

[alamo]

Proably because Tony Romo is gay means he attracts more attention.

[pavyracer]

To answer OP's question: Every QB the Bears had since 1985 was given a star status and hasn't done anything.

[Ca$hfloW]

No one. He is the ultimate choke job. Period.

[SportsPedagogy]

Carson Palmer .... look at he receivers he has had ... what has he done ?
Phillip Rivers .... one of the "Elite" has one of the most stacked teams in the NFL .. only 3 playoffs wins
Peyton Manning .... Great QB ... one Superbowl win ... took him as long as it took Romo to get his first playoff win .... yet still considered by some as the greatest of all time ... lots of late costly interceptions as well..


B.T.W. ... Romo was an undrafted free agent.

My favorite thread of the year Romo always has been and always will be a glorified backup.

[ttwarrior1]

hmm people seem to be naming people that have won mvp's , gold medals and championships, fail

All of those people have been playing longer then Romo ... he was an undrafted Free agent .. incase you forgot ...

Please tho ... Defend Palmer or Rivers
