The Dallas Cowboys and Tony Romo reached a six year contract extension worth $108 million with $55 million guaranteed on Friday. Quite a few people, including me, are scratching their heads about this. And here are my thoughts on it. Jamie Squire/Getty Images

I’ve got three words for you, one playoff win. But I’ll get to that in a minute. Let’s take a look at some of Tony Romo’s numbers from last year. He threw for 4, 903 yards, 28 touchdowns, 19 interceptions, and had a passer rating of 90.5. Not too bad besides the interception number right? Let’s look at postseason appearances. He’s been to the postseason three times with the team and the last time was back in 2009. We all remember his field goal fumble, which will go down as one of the worst fumbles in NFL history, and that might the highlight which he is known for. He is 1-4 in the postseason as the Cowboy’s quarterback, so he has won one single game in the postseason. And guys I have to say, I don’t see him going to the Super Bowl at any time during his new shiny deal, and I can put some serious money down on that. He chokes and doesn’t know how to handle pressure and all this new contract will do is put more pressure on him which is the last thing he needs. This deal got done because Jerry Jones is running things and I have to admit I’m proud to not be a Cowboy fan. I just can’t put my trust on a quarterback who hasn’t proved himself when it matters most.

Romo will now be averaging $18 million a year over the next six, which is a big raise compared to before when he was averaging $11.25 million on his last contract. The Cowboys have a lot of the right pieces to be able to advance in the postseason with receivers Witten, Bryant and Austin, but not the right quarterback throwing to them. Quite honestly I would have liked to see Alex Smith in Dallas, but that’s just my opinion. Take a look at six of the highest paid quarterbacks per year in the NFL as of this year.

1. Joe Flacco $20,100,000 2. Drew Brees $20,000,000 3. Peyton Manning $19,200,000 4. Tony Romo $17,071,429 5. Eli Manning $15,271,429 6. Tom Brady $14,120,000

Notice 5 out of the 6 have been past the 2nd round of the postseason and have won a Super Bowl, some more than once. Tony Romo can get paid when he has done what the rest of these guys have accomplished.
