Was Tony Romo Snubbed In Pro Bowl Vote?

The question is echoing through the Web: Was Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo snubbed in the Pro Bowl vote?

The answer certainly is more difficult to answer than last season. Romo is the only quarterback in Cowboys history of great throwers who has amassed 4,000 yards in a season, and he has done it twice. He has a record low in interceptions with just 8 and has thrown for 24 touchdowns.

But the competition this year was truly stellar. Certainly no quarterback deserves more votes than New Orleans Drew Brees, who has a league high passer rating of 109.6.

Then there is Minnesota’s Brett Favre, who has a rating of 104.3 and leads the Vikes to the playoffs, despite the sudden crash in December.

The other slot went to Green Bay’s Aaron Rodgers, and much deserved with a rating of 102.4.

Was Tony Romo above any of these players? The answer is no.

What Romo has brought this year is a better level of consistency and some great playing late in the season–things he has had trouble with in his other  seasons as the starter.

Who cares that Romo didn’t make the most-worthless game ever to be played in sports?

Let’s sit back and see what happens in the playoffs—which does matter.

I think just as big a pro bowl snub would be Mike Jenkins. He's a very, very strong corner and he's starting to get a few interceptions. I love how he plays bump coverage and dares receivers to beat him. Most can't. What a great second season from Jenkins.

I like when Romo is in the Pro-Bowl, it makes the game watchable for me. But I'm hoping he can't be in the pro-bowl anyway because he is playing the following week.

ever since we sent 13 players there and got our asses kicked out of the playoffs, i could care less about the pro bowl. i don't even watch it. have'nt for years. most of these guys don't even want to actually play in it, they just like the aculades that come with it. it's bullshit.

I don't think Romo was really snubbed, but he did in my opinion have his best season. He was still productive while cutting down turnovers as the season went on. But it doesn't matter, the Pro Bowl has really become a joke and popularity Bowl game. I think he deserved it, but so do the guys mentioned above. If anything he should use it as fire to show people he is better then those other guys in the playoffs

I don't care if he made it or not, but I think Tony should go in Brett farves place. I told my friend at the begining of the season Brett would come out looking good but towards the end his age catches up to him and he won't be as great as he was at the start of the season. Let's be for real though pro bowl is for who stands out the most not who is better overall. Austin is in mainly because he lit the television up and now is a big name to everyone. Unlike when I vote I chose who actually deserves to I don't just pic my favorite players on the cowboys.
