What to do with Tony Romo??

As a devoted Cowboys fan for most of my 29 year life, I care deeply for my NFL team. However, my level of frustration with my NFL team is reaching a fever pitch.

Call me naive, or what you will, I have thought since the beginning of post-season last year that this was gonna be my team's year. We have the best and most awe inspiring beautiful stadium, anywhere in the world, for any sport. What would be a better way to cap off the season, with our first Super Bowl win since the mid 90s?

Every time Tony Romo is in the pocket, I get nervous now. Time seems to stand still. What takes a QB so long to execute a play and make it happen? Yeah, I know the DNA of football and that the defense comes up on you and you have to manage that. But, it just seems like Tony just don't know what to do.

Yeah, Tony Romo has good days, and he has bad days. Every QB has them. But, remember what I said in beginning of this opinion piece, THIS IS OUR YEAR. Are we gonna let teams like the Giants, Eagles or any other team take it from us? I think not.

I feel that Jerry Jones finds himself in a unique position. What should he do? Yeah, there are arguments on both sides: Keep Romo, put him 2nd string, or just let him go. I offer a wild and unorthox solution to this, with a little help of our NFC East fans. Let's get to reality here, Tony Romo is gonna fail ... again. Once that happens, take Tony out of the game, IMMEDIATELY. But in Kitna, or any one of our back ups. This is called the Donavon McNabb effect. Tony will realize how good he has it, then after the bye week, he will be better than ever. Before, you laugh about it, think about it. This can work.

Also, Tony needs to be more of a motivator. At last minute crunches, they should lift their team up. Not just look dumb.

Tony, I want you to do good. But, now, you just suck. Prove me wrong.
