Also - here in Dallas last year, alot of people(but not me) were pointing fingers at Terrell Owens b/c supposedly, his whining and crying over wanting to be happy and get the ball alot ended up hurting Romo's reads when he would drop back in the pocket. Well...despite a dangerous running game now that Jason Garrett is utilizing...well...let's just say you can't blame someone else for your own problems.

The fact of the matter is that Romo would never make it in the Pats' system. He is the anti-Brady. People compare them because Romo was the flavor of the moment and both date famous women, but that is where the comparisons end.
Romo doesn't do the film work needed to be prepared. He is unaware of situations on the field. He relies to much on his physical skills rather than his mental skills.
Other than maybe Peyton Manning, there is no QB more prepared for a game and aware of everything around him than Brady. Brady uses his mental skills over his physical ones. If Brady prepared himself like Romo does, he would have been out of the league by now.
I don't see Belichick ever giving the reigns to Romo in any circumstance. He is not a guy who fits into the Pats' system.
