JEAN-JACQUES TAYLOR / The Dallas Morning News
It really amazes me how little regard so many fans have for Tony Romo.
After all, we're talking about a quarterback with a career passer rating of 95.5 with 118 touchdowns and 62 interceptions.
But the people have spoken, so to speak.
Using Facebook and Twitter to conduct an informal survey, I posed the following question, "Do you care that Tony Romo hasn't publicly spoken about Wade Phillips' firing or Jason Garrett's hiring?"
Nearly 100 people responded. Two said they cared what Romo had to say.
That's shocking.
The quarterback, especially a good one, is the face of the franchise. He's the highest-paid player. It speaks volumes that you could not care less about his opinion.
You think the folks in Indianapolis don't care what Peyton Manning has to say? When Tom Brady and Drew Brees speak, you think their fans don't care?
Do you think they're ambivalent in San Diego or Green Bay , when Philip Rivers or Aaron Rodgers has an opinion about the team?
No.
You certainly cared what Troy Aikman had to say about the Cowboys – and you still do. The same goes for Roger Staubach.
What it says it that you don't believe in Romo, which is too bad. It's a bad decision by Romo to keep quiet.
We all know quarterbacks get too much credit and too much blame in virtually every situation.
The quarterback's position makes him a leader, whether he wants the responsibility or not. You don't get the money, fame and prestige, and none of the responsibility or irritation.
