It's Tony Romo's Time to Lead in Dallas

After last season's terrible 44-6 regular season finale loss to the Eagles, Romo vowed to be a better leader.  A leader in the locker room and on the field.  With Terrell Owens long gone in Buffalo he now has the opportunity.

Romo has shown throughout his young career he has the potential to be a star in the NFL.  He's been brilliant the first three months of the year, but when it matters most, he has failed miserably.

It all began with a botched snap in Seattle.  A playoff game that the Dallas Cowboys certainly had in reach.  This led to the fall of the Bill Parcells era in Dallas.  Parcells believed in Romo and bringing him in early on in the year helped guide that team to the playoffs.

Then Romo had a superb 2007 season.  The Cowboys went 13-3 and won the NFC East.  The only problem was they couldn't beat the Giants for a third time when it mattered most.  Ironically the Giants went on to defeat the undefeated Patriots.

Of course who could forget last year's end.  After all of the missed opportunities and issues in the locker room the Cowboys has a win and your in scenario.  That resulted in one of the worst losses in Cowboys history.

Wade Philips is still the coach, and Tony Romo is this teams quarterback.  He needs to take the initiative and get his team ready to play every Sunday.  With Owens gone, Romo has the control he needs to make strides in an already potent offense.

Roy Williams will be now be ready to showcase his talent as the go to guy at wide out.  The Cowboys gave up a lot of draft picks and money for him.  Jerry Jones sure believes in his play-maker capability.

There is a lot of talent in a deep backfield led by Marion Barber.  Don't overlook speedster Felix Jones and a young tough runner out of Georgia Tech in Tashard Choice.  A healthy backfield will take a lot of pressure of Romo as long as it remains productive.

Romo has become the superstar quarterback of one of the most popular teams in America in three years time.  He earned his chance and waiting in the wings as a backup to Drew Bledsoe. 

He's been given the spotlight and this is the year he delivers for Dallas.  He's being paid like a NFL superstar and now it's time he starts winning in December and in the playoffs when it matters most.
