[Ruhskins]

Romo has proven over and over again that he can't win when it matters the most. While I agree that he is a somewhat steady presence at the QB position for the Cowpukes, getting paid more than QBs that have won when it mattered is ridiculous. Throw on top of that the fact that Dallas is being ran by one of the worst decision-makers in the league, I don't know how anyone here can defend this contract with a straight face.

It is my understanding that NFL players get paid on production and potential. Romo has provided the team with slightly above average production, something that won't cut it in a team with such high expectations from the media, their "fans", and their front office. Nor will it cut it in a team where being "good enough" gets fired. Also right now, there is nothing that tells me that Romo has the potential to be better than what he has done his whole career.

The Cowpukes are definitely stuck with Romo, but NOTHING he has done justifies the money in this contract.
