An American Hero

     Some people think that Tony Romo is one of the worst quarterbacks in the NFL. I think they are completely wrong. Sure he has had bad games, especially in the 2010 season, but he has won a lot of games for the Dallas Cowboys.  He even plays when he should be resting because of some serious injuries. People blame him when it isn’t even his fault. Tony Romo is an American Hero for playing when he is hurt to help the Dallas Cowboys win, he will do whatever it takes to be great.          

     First of all, he plays Quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys. The Cowboys have the most fans in the NFL because of all the wins they have.If a quarterback is on a team America loves, then America should love him.  Ever since the Dallas Cowboys won 5 Super Bowls, America loved them.They can’t just change their minds about the Cowboys because of Tony Romo. When He was drafted in 2004 by the Cowboys, he had to work his way up to be a quarterback  for the Cowboys. When he was drafted he had to work his way up from 3rd string backup to starter.

            

      Speaking of the Cowboys, their rivals are the Washington Redskins. Tony Romo was injured and taken out of the 4^th quarter. But he needed to play for the Cowboys. He had a punctured lung and 2 fractured ribs. Most people would not dare to play, especially against Washington’s physical defense. The RedSkins are a sacking the quarterback team and Tony ignored that and had to take 9 pain killers. It was so painful for him that he had to sleep in a chair. I think he should have been in a hospital and not playing. It takes real guts to do what he did.

     Tony won that game, he has won a lot of games for his team. Since he got the starting job, Tony Romo has won over 60% of his games. Winning more than half the games you play in the NFL is pretty good. Also he has a 95 career passer rating. Most quarterbacks are lucky to get a 95 quarterback rating in a season.

     Tony has the ratings, the braveness, and he plays for America’s team but, people still think he is a bad quarterback. They don’t know the facts on what he really is. I think and proved that Tony Romo the quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys is an American Hero.
