"Sooner or later we have to come to the realization that Tony isn't a very good quarterback," Theismann said Tuesday on Sportsnet 590 The Fan. "He throws interceptions that (make) you shake your head. If it's all the wide receivers' fault then they need to get some new wide receivers, or they need to come up with some different route combinations that guys can understand."

 

Theismann continued with the criticism.

 

"I think what hit me last night is, Tony isn't really that good," Theismann said. "Just because he wears a star on his helmet -- we all think that people who are Dallas Cowboys, 'Ooh they're wonderful and ooh they're terrific, ooh they're the next Roger Staubach' or whatever the heck they want to say. They're full of bologna.

 

"Tony makes bad decisions with the football. And I'll tell you something else, he missed two wide-open touchdowns last night that nobody's talking about. Forget about the five interceptions; he misses Miles Austin and Dez Bryant with easy touchdown throws, and he airmails the ball over their heads.

 

"You can say, 'well, everybody has a bad game.' Tony has too many bad games. Tony Romo is not a very good quarterback. Somebody has to say it, so I just did. … He's good, but he should be a lot better, or the reputation he's carried should have him play a lot better."
