Time for Tony Romo to shine for the Cowboys. He's got a chance to really make a name for himself. His last start, the 2002 I-AA playoffs and now the former Payton Award winner will get to prove himself on the biggest stage, an NFL game day. Bledsoe is benched and the Romo Show begins.
Best of luck to Romo! As much as I hate the Cowboys, it'll be nice to see a great I-AA player bring his A-game to the NFL level...
================
Romo will make his first start since the 2002 Division I-AA playoffs Sunday night, when the Cowboys visit the Carolina Panthers. After watching the first 52 games of his NFL career, then coming off the bench in the last two, he's ready to be the main man.
``I've always prepared like I was going to play each week,'' Romo said. ``You know, there's more sense of urgency and, in that respect, you're going to want to be perfect with everything throughout the week. It's not always going to be, but you want things to go smooth.''
The Tony Romo Project began in 2003, the same season Parcells arrived in Dallas.
The I-AA player of the year at Eastern Illinois, Romo went undrafted. Several teams tried signing him, but he picked the Cowboys because of Parcells and a depth chart that featured only Quincy Carter and Chad Hutchinson. He made the club as the No. 3 quarterback, and the waiting game began.
