Jerry Jones issued a statement stating that Dallas Cowboy quaterback Tony Romo is the leader of the Cowboys. The reluctant leader faces a locker room without Terrell Owens (leading receiver), Adam Jones, Chris Canty, Roy L. Williams, Anthony Henry and Tank Johnson. And although his first full season as the Cowboys QB he went 13 and 3, 2008 was sprinkled with setbacks which included a 9 and 7 season and broken pinky finger/cracked ribs. Jason Garrett pass happy offense will obviously look alot different from last year as the Cowboys will try to utilize a three back system to help protect Romo's arm. They will also attempt to feel out new lead receiver Roy E. Williams, Sam Hurd, Patrick Crayton and tight end Jason Witten, his roommate (who will be relied on more than in the past) to help the Cowboys stretch the field. But the question still remains with all the apparent locker room distractors removed, not including his celebrity lifestyle and connection to Jessica Simpson how will Romo adjust. This looks to be a make it or break year with the Cowboys who have Romo entering year two of a six year contract. So, will Jerry Jones keep Tony Romo keep his high profile Cowboy's Qb and leader past 2009 or will he shakeup the locker room like he did this year releasing Terrell Owens and others in attempt to clear the Dallas Cowboy air in wake of a playoff berth and elusive Super Bowl appearance.










Good point Budder! Danny White was a good QB and really fell off the radar since he never led the Boys to a Super Bowl win. Tony Romo will definitely be one reason the Cowboys suceed or fail this year. Playoff win, NFC championship, Super Bowl or bust!
