Michael Irvin Compares Tony Romo’s Situation to LeBron’s

Found June 26, 2012 on FootBasket:
PLAYERS: Michael Irvin,  Tony Romo,  LeBron James
TEAMS: Dallas Cowboys,  Miami Heat
3a

LeBron James has finally won a title under all the scrutiny. For Tony Romo, it seems like he’s up next. Romo is the LeBron of the NFL and is always questioned for his clutch. The Dallas Cowboys quarterback will be under a lot of pressure this season to see if he can bring a title home.

Michael Irvin brought his twist on the situation, comparing his pressure to the Miami Heat forward.

“Now LeBron’s got the title, who do we turn the thing to and say, ‘When are you going to get one?’” Irvin told the Dallas Morning News.

“That noose has been put around [Romo’s] neck,” Irvin said. “It better be soon. Jerry Jones has already said that. That’s where it’s going from here. It’s going back to Tony Romo now.”

Romo has the stats, but can he produce in the playoffs? We’ll see what he has to show this season.
