Is Tony Romo The Man To Lead Dallas To A Super Bowl?

In Dallas nothing but a Super Bowl will do for their fans and Tony Romo has been anointed as the guy to lead them there. The real question though is he the one to do it. Romo has his detractors and just as many people think he is the guy to get the job done. One of the factors that determines if any quarterback can get his team to a Super Bowl is the players he has around him and his overall team as well. When you have a great defense a quarterback has the luxury if he does make a mistake he understands most of the time the defense will bale him out. An example of that was when Tampa Bay won the Super Bowl they had one of the best defenses and an average offense. The defense bale out the quarterback many times during that run. Another big factor is the players around Tony Romo as well. At running back the Cowboys has a good pair in Marion Barber and Felix Jones. The problem is at wide receiver. Miles Austin had a breakout year, but others really did not do much. Roy Williams has been a bust so far and the only other option Tony Romo really has Jason Witten. The Cowboys need to get Romo another receiver he can count on.

Tony Romo also has some shortcomings that he needs to work on as well. Romo's biggest problem is locking on one guy and going in that direction. When you do this the defense picks up on this and it makes it much tougher. Now another area that Romo needs to improve is protecting the ball. It seems when he is in the pocket he holds the ball out where it can be knocked out. Ball security is something that he needs to work on. Another area many people do not look at either is the offensive plays that are called. Many times Jason Garrett gets away from what is best for Tony Romo. When Marion barber is running well it seems Garrett goes away from that and that actually hurts Romo.

Can Tony Romo lead the Cowboys to a Super Bowl? The answer is yes, but he cannot do it alone he needs everyone around him on offense and defense to help out. One of the things people should also remember that Romo is young and he is learning to play the position of quarterback in the NFL. He is no Peyton Manning and cannot do the things Manning does. If Romo plays within himself and the Cowboys get the proper players in place there is no reason why Tony Romo cannot lead the Cowboys to a Super Bowl.
