IRVING, Texas -- At the gym this week, a stranger said Tony Romo is as fragile as a china doll. At church, a parishioner insisted Romo wouldn't play more than eight games, if that.
And at an Easter brunch, a local politician shook his head vigorously at the notion of Romo as the Dallas Cowboys' starting quarterback for the 11th consecutive season.
Everybody, it seems, wants the Cowboys to take a quarterback with the fourth pick in the NFL draft after watching Brandon Weeden, Matt Cassel and Kellen Moore go 1-11 in 12 starts.
