No wonder this fucker keeps choking - when the GM says you just played great after throwing away a game, why bother to get any better?

Dallas Cowboys (http://espn.go.com/nfl/team/_/name/dal/dallas-cowboys) owner and general manager Jerry Jones considered Tony Romo (http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/_/id/5209/tony-romo)'s performance in the season opener "one of the best games I've ever seen him play" despite two critical turnovers late in the loss to the New York Jets (http://espn.go.com/nfl/team/_/name/nyj/new-york-jets).
Romo accepted the blame for the loss -- the first in franchise history after leading by 14 points in the fourth quarter -- after losing a fumble at the Jets' 2-yard line and throwing an interception that set up the game-winning field goal.
While disappointed by the finish, Jones was encouraged by watching the three-time Pro Bowl quarterback pass for 342 yards and two touchdowns against one of the league's elite defenses.
"This may draw a little criticism, but I thought Tony played one of the best games I've ever seen him play," Jones said during a Tuesday appearance on KRLD-FM, the team's flagship station. "You can make a big case that the way he played for three quarters was how we got there at the end and looked like for sure we were going to get the win. But he played outstanding."
The Cowboys have lost seven of Romo's last eight starts, including a 2009 divisional playoff game against the Minnesota Vikings (http://espn.go.com/nfl/team/_/name/min/minnesota-vikings), but Jones pointed to Romo's record as reason for the Cowboys' commitment to him as a franchise quarterback. Romo is 40-26 as a starter, but that includes only one win in four playoff games.
