4. Romo isn’t getting any younger

While Tony Romo basically burst onto the scene in 2006, he has shown his age a bit in the past few campaigns. The veteran quarterback has won just two playoff games in his career in six postseason games.

Romo isn’t getting any younger and his time frame for being a Super Bowl contender may have already passed. He did throw for 3,705 yards and 34 touchdowns last season, but his yardage total was the lower since he played just six games in 2010 and the third-lowest of his career.

Yes, he has guys like Jason Witten and Dez Bryant to throw to, making his job that much easier, but he has had trouble finding anyone other than those two.

Romo recently turned 35 and it looks like he’s on pace to finish his NFL career with no rings and just a couple of playoff wins to show for his tens of thousands of yards through the air.

Not many quarterbacks go their entire career struggling in the playoffs and then suddenly, at the age of 35, win a Super Bowl.
