to win, and that is always the main focus here," Romo said in a statement
released by the Cowboys on Friday. "We haven't had the type of success that we
have all wanted the last few years, but I do know that we are on the verge of

club to beat. I am excited that ownership and the organization believes in me to
get this job done. Our goal is the Super Bowl, and I am determined and honored
to be the guy in this position to help our team do that." Romo has a 55-38
record as a starter, but is 17-21 the last three seasons. He has a grand total
of one playoff victory. News of his contract was received with mixed emotions.
"It can be a tough place to play," Romo's agent, RJ Gonser, said. "There's a lot
of bows thrown your way, and a there can be some criticisms as well. He thrives
on that. He welcomes that. He embraces it." Romo is just one of those
love-him-or-hate-him kind of players. He's had elite moments and others that
were, well, the opposite. Either way, expectations just went up. "Absolutely, we
feel that we can win a championship with Tony," Cowboys executive vice president
Stephen Jones told USA Today on Friday."We wouldn't be doing all of this if we
didn't think we could win with Replica
