The Dakota Fanning Award
(To the player the mainstream media fell in love with a LITTLE too quickly)

Winner: Tony Romo: Go read anything written by anyone with a keyboard after that five touchdown Thanksgiving Day performance. There were actual comparisons to Staubach and Aikman. Think everyone jumped the gun a bit too fast on this one? Shameful stuff.

From Foxsports.

Romo is a joke.

Yes let's all take this chance to jump on Romo because now it's the cool thing to do. He came back down to earth, but I believe he'll get back up there, he has a lot of talent. Not to Aikman level but top tier QB level (top 10).

[Spurminator]

He's a Dallas Cowboy, what's new?

[bigdog]

dont sleep on him yet. even his own coach said not to expect him in the HOF yet. hes will be consistent,but not awesome all the time.

[MajorMike]

Trent Difler was consistant, but not awesome all the time. He won a ring. History still thinks he's a chump QB; just like Romo.

[T Park]

Cracking on Romo is stupid.

Get off of it.

[MajorMike]

Romo is on crack. He should get off of it.

If its too early to call Romo a savior...wouldn't it be too early to call him a chump also?

You know, I've used the Dilfer thing on so many occassions for so many different arguments and after I just read your quote it was the first time I've ever thought to myself, "I wonder how Dilfer feels being the standard in which crappy quarterbacks are measured". He's a hero for all 3rd string QB's in the league and until someone worse comes along and wins a Super Bowl, he always will be.

[MajorMike]

Haha. Great point.

Very good point.

I am sure though, that there are many first string QB's who would love that ring he has.

Dilfer was in the perfect situation....he didn't have to win the game...he just had to keep from losing it. Can't blame him for that.
