Romos Vegas trip okay with Jones

After the Dallas Cowboys ripped apart another jobber served up on Thanksgiving to them by the league so they can try and get momentum for a playoff run, Tony Romo felt he needed a long overdue vacation. He and receiver Miles Austin decided to hit up Las Vegas and do some partying.

When asked about it Jerry Jones says he sees no problems with it. Romo came in bright and early for back tratment following the vacation and that’s all that matters to Jones.

I don’t even know where to start with this. But this story has the same ending every year and it’s always disappointing for Dallas fans. Excuse the tangent but I’m going to go off a little here.

Tony Romo will never reach elite status in this league as an NFL quarterback until he changes his attitude. Elite quarterbacks in this league show a level of maturity and professionalism that Romo has no idea exists.

Elite quarterbacks don’t take mid season vacations to Vegas. Dallas has a huge game coming up this week against the Giants. Guys like Peyton and Tommy would be studying film like crazy. Romo figures he’s ahead of the curve.

Elite quarterbacks are steady in their demeanor, they aren’t pouting on the sidelines when losing and they aren’t yukin it up when they have a lead going into the second half of a game.

And elite quarterbacks sure as shit aren’t holders for field goals. And if they were, you can bet they wouldn’t screw up the snap.

The bottom line is that Tony Romo doesn’t take football as seriously as he should. Yea it’s just a game, but he’s getting paid millions of dollars and treating it like a weekend job in high school.

You can say whatever you want about Romo taking the game seriously and that he’s a competitive guy and wants to win. But his actions and the results speak for themselves.
