All of last week, Tony Romo couldn't avoid the shitstorm of criticism that enveloped him after losing to the New York Jets.Some think it took breaking a rib and deflating a lung to change perception.
No. Not true. It took winning.
A common layman's complaint is that Romo doesn't care about winning or losing. That he's just a kid playing a kid's game.
There's been enough bullshit -- Cabo, "not the worst thing," golf -- to support this theory.
What everyone on either side of the Romo argument is missing is the very basic element of winning.
If the Dallas Cowboys win and Romo is behind center, all is well. The golf, the post-game comments and beach vacations do not matter.
The Cabo trip before the divisional round of the playoffs three years ago is a prime example. If Jason Witten and Romo return from their bye-week trip and then beat the New York Giants, not a word is said of the trip. Not a word.
Supporters of Romo -- meaning, they hadn't turn on him ... yet -- skew criticism of Romo as an attack on his character and personality. Actually, it's a criticism of losing.
And when the Cowboys lose, you can typically look at the performance of the quarterback and see a correlation.
Is it fair? Maybe not. Is it real? Yes.
Romo is going to have more ups and down this season and I think no doubt opinions and perspectives will change among fans and media. No doubt, it'll annoy me.
