This deadspin article hits a moneyshot right in her eye. Lots of sound and reasonable arguments in the comment section too.

The quote I liked best was
A lot of people argued that he's more like Favre. I think he's a better athlete than Favre (weaker arm obviously) but one had the benefit of guys like Gruden and Holmgren as coaches and the other had a half season of Parcells and then the not-coveted-at-all herpy derp derp combo of Wade Wilson and Gingerfuck.
Essentially, you can win with Romo easily in this league. It's just that our franchise structure is so poor, he'll never get the pieces needed to get a ring and seal his legacy. Elway and Favre had the right GMs and coaching. Marino had a good coach but never got the pieces around him after those first couple seasons. Hell, even Peyton was savvy enough to pick the Broncos over all his other suitors because he knew they'd build a team around him.
The only failures yesterday were the coaches and the man who hired them. Dallas is underperforming because of it.

Basically, he's Dan Marino and needs a ring to become John Elway.
