Romo
I've watched Dallas a couple of times since Romo took over under center, I like what I've seen from Romo. However, I think the media is getting ahead of themselves anointing him the next big QB and slotting Dallas for the Super Bowl. Lest we forget, two months back, the media was saying the same things about Rex Grossman (and at other times, and to lesser extents: Bruce Gradkowski, Kyle Orton, etc.).
He's notched a QB rating over 100.0 in three games--against Washington, Arizona and Tampa (31st, 16th and 30th in the league in opponents QB rating). In fact, he has yet to face a top-10 pass defense in terms of opponents QB rating. The Giants, ranked 14th, have been his toughest opponent thus far and they managed to hold him (somewhat) in check in their last meeting (0 TD/2 INT with 257 yards).
His toughest test may come Week 16 against Philadelphia (8th in the NFL, with an average opp. QB rating of 74.9). The rest of his regular season opponents rate in the bottom third of the league. It is my suspicion that Mr. Romo is a good, but not elite, QB. His performance against the Eagles in two weeks will be our best indicator to date.
