I hate making big predictions about players. In fact, I think it’s so hard that I wanted to build a fantasy game around big predictions. So many things go into a career that it’s hard to say what someone will be at the end of their run.

With that said, I was reading Page 2’s Goats, gaffes and blunders article and I can’t help thinking what I said to a friend last week: Tony Romo is overrated. Way, way overrated. He’s not going to be great.

I’ve watched him quite a bit this year and while I recognize the talent, and I see how good he could be, I also recognize something else in him: a lack of preparation and seriousness about the game. He reminds me of Rex Grossman or any number of talented QBs who just don’t quite make it to the big time.

The mistake this past weekend was a case in point. He’s going to make mistakes like that, not because he’s trying to make a play, say like a Brett Favre, but because he’s not always giving his best. Maybe this weekend will scare him into fixing this, but I’m not holding my breath.
