Let's get real here. Not many people outside of Dallas like the Cowboys and thus, not many people like Tony Romo. His arrogant style might not be all that enjoyable outside the city-lines, but as he proved last season, his numbers on your fantasy team sure are. In order to succeed in fantasy football, you gotta push the heart aside and act with your head. For all of his critics, both on and off the field, Romo’s 2009 numbers should do a nice job of forcing them think twice about bashing him again. It might not have been the most consistent season, but not everyone can be a Troy Aikman. Speaking of Aikman, Romo set a Cowboys franchise record with 4,483 passing yards last year. Just sayin'.
One of the most publicized gripes about his game was that he fails in crunch-time, a critique to which Romo finally responded this year. With three games left to go and the Cowboys on the outside looking in, Romo led his team to three straight wins and not only made the playoffs at 11-5, but secured an NFC East title in the process. In addition, one of those games took down the then-undefeated Saints in New Orleans, while the final game of the year turned out to be a 24-0 drubbing of the then-division leading Eagles.
~ Set career bests in completions (347), attempts (550), yards (4,483), INTs (9), yards/game (280.2), and QB Rating (97.6)
Is Tony Romo a Top-10 place holder? Okay, unfair question. How bout this one. Is Romo a Top-5 fantasy QB? More realistic, but still, not really. We’d be extremely hard-pressed to put his name inside that realm. However, he is one of the few QBs in the league who can surprise and end up amongst that group during any given year. Even though he’s not the most consistent guy in the league, he’ll always get his chances as Jason Garrett, the Cowboys offensive coordinator, can’t wait to turn to the passing game no matter what the score or situation. The talented players around him and his gunslingers mentality provide him with the potential to put up big numbers in 2010, and there’s no doubt he is a starting fantasy QB in the league.
~ The offensive line is solid and will remain as such for another year in 2010
~ Miles Austin will start from the get-go and is one of the best young playmakers in the game
~ Jason Witten had an off season and will most certainly be better
~ Is this the year that Roy Williams’s talent finally comes out to play, or does Dez Bryant (aka Randy Moss' brother) end up taking over the WR2 role?
~ The Cowboys are sure to use Felix Jones out of the backfield more this year, which only adds to Romo’s possibilities
Romo does not have a Twitter account. The official Team Twitter account comes through here: Cowboys Player Tweets

Romo enters the 3rd year of that monster $67.4 million dollar contract extension he signed back in October of ‘07. Here is how it pays out:
2010 - $8.5 million
2011 - $9 million
2012 - $9 million
2013 - $11.5 million
2014 - Free Agent
He is plenty motivated to continue to produce. His contract is a non-issue.
Jon Kitna is the backup to Romo and is a very solid handcuff. Once you have at least three RBs, two QBs, one TE, and four WRs, go ahead and buy this insurance package
A lot has changed since 2008 when Romo missed three games, played miserably, still produced 26 TDs and almost 3500 yards, and dated Jessica Simpson. His critics will assert that he exercised poor judgment going on a vacation with Simpson and the twins the week before a playoff game a couple of years ago, but we can’t seem to find fault in that maneuver. Last year, he proved he could take the league, his team, and the position he plays more seriously. Now he just needs another WAG by his side and he'd be set. We really have no concerns about that though, given the fact that his resume also includes Carrie Underwood. Just hope he takes the next blonde bombshell to Mexico motor-boating with her built-in floatation device in the offseason.
Lucky guy...
Apparantly Burger King didn't think so.
For those of you who feel nostalgic and want to relive the T.O.-Tony Romo days:
Then...
As is widely known, Romo did just fine without T.O. last year. He threw for 1000 more yards (albiet in 3 more games) and had the same amount of TDs that should only increase with Dez Bryant on the squad now. His completion percentage increased and his interceptions went down. There ain't no T.O. fallout here.
Romo missed games for the first time in his career in 2008, though not enough to warrant a yellow light at this point.
