immensely talented QB who can give you about 59 minutes of good football before fucking it all up in that last minute.
"immensely talented" is usually not equated with a UDFA

He far out-performed his career path to the league, but he was never "immensely talented"

He was also a horrendous leader who didnt care enough about winning.

cmon now dont pretend like he was a bus driver

maybe immensely is too strong of a word. maybe just call him talented. his houdini escapes took talent to pull off. he did that often. he threw a good ball too

He was a good player. He wasn't great. He wasn't immensely talented. Give him all the credit in the world for going the UDFA way and becoming a quality starter but that's about it.

He just wasn't a "winner" or a leader of men. As good as he was, he probably could have accomplished far more had he really dedicated himself to the game and the team. He cared more about having fun, being one of "the guys" and banging celeb blondes than he did working out or winning championships and Super Bowls. He also took the lame route with Jones in regards to Garrett. Other than Aikman (and now maybe Prescott) no player had more direct pull on Jones than Romo, and Romo stood by and watch goober fuck the franchise by sticking with Garrett all those years.

Didnt Vandercrap miss a FG (or maybe it was blocked) at the end of the game too. The luckyass Skins scored right after that.
Blocked. Someone on the left side of the line (Witten?) didn't block his man well enough.
