Interesting take on a guy that had a career similar to Romo's. Danny got a late start because he was behind a great player (although he was a great punter while he waited). Romo got his late start as he developed for a few years before taking over.
Both put up big numbers and played well in big games despite their "reputations".
I think Danny sees alot of himself in Tony and he knows if Tony doesn't get some help and win a title he will retire like Danny did, without much fanfare.
Danny White: If everyone played like Romo, Cowboys would be in the Super Bowl
Danny White on the play of Tony Romo
....White said, via the Dallas Morning News. "Especially at this point. He’s been in the game long enough and he’s learned that the hard way. This season was kind of a perfect example. He has a rating of around 100, for crying out loud, he leads the league in fourth-quarter quarterback rating, he doesn’t throw an interception in the red zone the whole year, and yet they don’t get there.
"I’ll guarantee you there are quarterbacks in this league in the past that have won Super Bowls without performing nearly at the level that Tony Romo has performed at. So it’s a matter of everybody else playing their position the way Tony plays his, and that team will be in the Super Bowl every year. And I think he knows that."
