Romo tony biography jamie

Throughout the team’s history, the Dallas Cowboys have produced several memorable quarterbacks.

When the franchise began play in 1960, its quarterback was rookie “Dandy” Don Meredith.

Meredith played long enough for Roger Staubach to take over.

After some lean years with Danny White in the mid-to-late 1980s, Troy Aikman arrived in 1989 to guide Dallas into the new century.

He retired after the 2000 season and suddenly the Cowboys couldn’t find consistency at the quarterback position.

By 2005, the franchise was already starting its eighth signal caller since 2000.

Finally, in 2006, Tony Romo emerged from the shadows and took over under center.

Buried on the depth chart since 2003, Romo got his opportunity and held onto it for a decade.
