I'll give you the one play when he was dragged down outside of the tackle box. Yes he should have thrown that one away. He will learn to do that. The other one though - I am still not so sure on that one. He was inside the tackle box and threw it out of bounds (downfield out of bounds) but didn't appear to be about to get sacked.
Overall though he made plays and kept drives going. Improvised quite abit. I was never sold on the guy but now I see he is the real deal. For being so young the guy does pretty dang good. I wouldn't hang the choke lable or this loss on him.
Overall, I agree. I am not a Romo fan, but that is mostly because he plays for the 'Boys. However your assessment of him in this game, I think is fair.
Additionally, Romo is beginning to show that he has the potential to become a legitimate top flight QB as he gets more actual game experience.
However he is not such a "young" QB. He is almost 28 (April), just one year younger than our own Drew Brees who turns 29 tomorrow. As such I would have to be consider him to be in his prime. What he lacks is not age, but game experience. And he does have the benefit of 5 years in the league which should have him well prepared mentally. Admittedly, though, you cannot truly simulate game speed until you are actually playing and with just 26 starts under his belt, he is still probably getting the feel for that aspect of the game.
Time will tell, but I think Romo will be a decent QB at a minimum and possibly a top tier QB, if he learns to minimize errors in big games. But even if he does not improve beyond what we see today, he is still better than an awful lot of other starting QBs in this league. At least, IMHO.
