Like it or not you need an elite quarterback to win a Super Bowl. Tony Romo is not that kind of quarterback. As long as Romo is under center for the Dallas Cowboys the Lombardi Trophy will not be going to Dallas. As a die hard New York Giants fan I am in total agreement with what Ahmad Bradshaw said. Call me a New York homer, call me a Romo hater, but facts are facts.
Before you freak out and comment on this article give me a minute to break this down for you. I'm not banging on Romo just because I root for Big Blue. That's not the case at all. I have three good reasons why Romo will not win a Super Bowl.
Frontrunner - Romo is what I like to call a frontrunner quarterback. When he's playing with the lead against a lesser opponent, he's brilliant. Put him in a game against a formidable opponent where there's something on the line he fails. Fails epically. He either throws a crucial INT, fumbles, or makes the wrong read. He's just not a big game quarterback. 1-3 in the postseason speaks for itself.
Leadership - Romo lacks leadership skills. You always hear how he's learning to be a better leader. News flash! You can't learn how to be a leader. You either are or you aren't. He's not. A leader is someone who can bring out the best in the players around them. Tony Romo cannot. If he could, the Dallas Cowboys would have a better postseason record and Romo would have some skins on the wall.
Heart - Heart is another crucial ingredient that Tony Romo doesn't have enough of. I just don't think he seems to care enough. All you have to do is listen to him address the media after a critical loss. No fire, no passion. All he says is football, process, football process. C'mon man! I truly believe that playing quarterback is more of a hobby to him. Golf is his true passion. But playing golf in the offseason won't help him win a Super Bowl title.
I'm sorry Romo fans, but I'm right on this one. Don't hate me because I'm right and because my team's quarterback already has two rings. I know Super Bowl winning quarterbacks and Tony Romo isn't one. Mark my words on this one.
