Tony Romo just got a $119.5 million contract extension in the offseason, but still can't stop getting the heat for his shaky big-game record as the Dallas Cowboys' quarterback. His coach, Jason Garrett told ESPN's SportsCenter on Monday that Romo doesn't deserve that level of criticism.
Romo is 55-38 in the regular season with a stellar career 95.6 passer rating. But he is 1-3 as a starter in the playoffs, and 0-3 in other games when a playoff berth was on the line.
"I think teams win 'win or go home’ games," I think teams win playoff games. I think teams win championships,” Garrett said.
Garrett accepted the fact that the Cowboys .500 record over the past two seasons isn't acceptable, but that Romo's play last season, despite a league-high 19 interceptions,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], was the reason they were even in the NFC East hunt at 8-8 last season.
"The quarterback has a big role in having a really good football team, a championship football team," Garrett said. Tony's done a great job helping us get into some of those games, helping us get an opportunity to win the division,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], to go to the playoffs,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and sometimes it hasn’t worked out for our football team."
Romo has been one of the league's most efficient quarterbacks throughout his career,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but because of the Big D spotlight,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], his inopportune mistakes have gained larger focus then his standout prolific play overall.
The reality is, Romo isn't t the concern in Dallas. He needs much better help from his offensive line,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], running game and defense for the Cowboys to make the playoffs this season. They are trying to shake off a four-year drought in 2013.
