im not a tony romo fan. i think hes talented. i think he gets a lot of the losses he takes hung on him unjustly. i watched that game w denver. that last INT he threw his reciever didnt run his route correctly. he came under, he was supposed to go over. but romo gets crucified case he gave the ball up. again.
i think he 'could be' a top tier qb in the nfl. his problem isnt his physical attributes, hes extremely agile and has a terrific arm. his problem is that when he starts to lose control he cannot maintain his composure. guys like TB and PM can function and perform under extreme stress and pressure. ive seen TB throw an INT with minutes left in a game they were already losing. romo would have been on the sidelines throwing his helmet chewing the fuck out of his receiver for running a blown route cause that cost them the game. TB went to the bench sat by himself, looked at the printouts. went back out w :40 left. orchestrated a drive that saw them going into OT and eventually winning.
THAT is what make guys like peyton, and brady great. and that is why tony romo is unrealised potential. you cant teach a guy that. you either can perform under duress or you cant. tony romo cant. he has all the physical attributes in the world to be great. moreso than peyton. but he doesnt have it upstairs.
there are literally thousands of scratch golfers good enough to play on the Tour. but mentally they cant handle it. some the stress of the cameras. some the pressure of needing to win in front of millions.
being great at something is as much an exercise in mental capabilities than physical.
