Some people were surprised the Dallas Cowboys awarded Tony Romo with a six-year $108 million deal despite winning one playoff game in his career. Former Houston Texas defensive lineman Travis Johnson went on CSN Houston and let his opinions of Romo fly.
“When Tony Romo got to Dallas he had everything around him and was a loser,” Johnson said. “At one time he had five Pro Bowlers on the offensive line. They have no passing game, so nobody’s worried about the run.”
Romo did step into a team that Bill Parcells had already turned around after injuries forced him into the starting line up. Much like Kurt Warner and Tom Brady. Other analysts tried to point out that there have been other problems besides Romo.
That didn’t matter.
“Tony Romo has not earned a dollar he’s been given in this league,” Johnson said. “Matt Schaub will get the job done. I believe in him. I played with him and against him. He can take this team to a Super Bowl. Can he win a Super Bowl? I don’t know. It’s a whole different ballgame once you get there. But he can take this team to a Super Bowl.
“Tony Romo is not that guy. He is a thief. They need to bring him up on federal charges right now. He’s killing the franchise.”
