The Tony Romo Quandary

Tony Romo on the Run
Will he play or not? It's a bit unusual that's even being discussed and says a lot about the faith in backup Brad Johnson. Typically a broken finger on the throwing hand will sideline a quarterback unquestionably for a month or so, but this is supposed to be the year Dallas makes a return to glory, and Tony is supposed to be the man to take them there. This question mark couldn't have happened at a better time for Dallas, as even with a bit of experimentation they should be able to dominate their opponent, St. Louis, on Sunday. If there's a chance of success, my call would be to let him throw the ball around for a series or two while letting Marion Barber handle most of the work. If he looks up to it, leave him in, if he struggles, let Brad Johnson manage the rest of the game. Even without a completed pass in the whole game this match up should be fairly one-sided.

And speaking of Tony Romo, have you seen all these blogs dedicated to hating him? I've never seen anything like it. I have nothing but admiration for a guy who becomes an elite QB after being an undrafted player out of Easter Illinois, a small time school. Just google "Tony Homo" or some other childish play on his name and you'll be treated to a slew of blogs that likely are very happy with his current situation. Buttholes..
