Former Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo often got criticized for his play while in the NFL, and now it appears that it is still going to this day.
With the XFL starting over the weekend, football fans can still get their fix. While not on the same level as the NFL, the XFL is more of a gateway to the NFL. Owner Dwayne Johnson wants to use the league as a stepping stone into the NFL.
But as far as the former Cowboys quarterback goes, his name got mentioned during the San Antonio Brahams and St. Louis Battlehawks game. Brahams kicker John Parker Romo's very name gave commentator Matt Barrie a chance to take a subtle dig at the former shot-caller and his playoff record.
Barrie said:
"Also, by my math, you've got a Romo playing football in Texas in February."
Some may have missed what Barrie was saying. A Romo playing in February was never seen as the former QB didn't take the Cowboys to the Super Bowl. Those were lean years for Dallas in terms of playoff wins and even appearances, and Barrie made sharp use of the coincidence.
Tony Romo did not have a good playoff record
The quarterback played 13 years in the NFL and for the most part couldn't deliver what Cowboys fans wanted...a Super Bowl. He ended his career playing 157 games and had a 78-49 record, which makes for okay reading.
He finished with 34,183 passing yards and 248 touchdowns. But for all the regular season stats, it is in the postseason where a quarterback's value is truly measured.
He only made the playoffs four times in his career and finished with a 2-4 record while throwing for 1,316 yards and eight touchdowns. In 2006 and 2007, Dallas was one-and-done in the playoffs as he could never get Dallas over the hump.
Now on a lucrative deal with CBS paired with Jim Nantz in the commentary booth, the former quarterback is doing very well for himself as he earns roughly $17 million per season.
Still, no matter how good he is in the booth, fans will always go back to his inability to play well in the playoffs.
