Roger Staubach Calls Tony Romo A “Super Bowl Quarterback”

Pro Football Hall of Famer Roger Staubach believes Tony Romo is just the quarterback Dallas needs to get back to the Super Bowl.

While attending Pat Summerall’s Humble Beginnings Award luncheon on Monday, Staubach sung the praises of Romo.

“Our quarterback is not our problem in Dallas. We’ve got a Super Bowl quarterback. I really believe that the league is so close in parity…and Dallas is the kind of team with Jason [Garrett] that they can be right there in the thick of it this year…And they have the quarterback that can do it.”

Of course, this contradicts the Martellus Bennett statement from earlier this offseason when the Cowboys tight end suggested that Jon Kitna should receive an opportunity to compete for the job.

Either way, Romo is not getting within 1,000 feet of the Super Bowl unless new defensive coordinator Rob Ryan fixes a defense that allowed a franchise-record 436 points last season.

P.S. For the record, Romo needs to show a bit more in critical spots before being deemed a Super Bowl quarterback.
