Tony Romo often gets a rap as a quarterback who wilts under pressure, falling apart when the lights are brightest and the game is on the line. But that reputation may no longer be applicable to the goofy, lighthearted Romo, who seems to have become one of the NFL's more clutch players in recent seasons.

This past Sunday, in a primetime game against the NFC East rival New York Giants, Romo threw for 275 yards on 18-of-26 passing with four TDs and, even more importantly, engineered the game-winning drive with 1:01 remaining.

There is no doubting his talents, and there's definitely no doubting Cowboys owner Jerry Jones' appreciation of Romo. He told Mike Fisher of Fox Sports Southwest after the 31-28 victory over the Giants that if Romo ends his career without a Super Bowl championship, it will undoubtedly be the biggest disappointment of his time as owner of the Dallas Cowboys - an era that spans all the way back to February 1989.

"It will be, I think, the most negative thing about my ownership in my mind if Tony has a career here and we don't win a Super Bowl," Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said. "To have his talent come through this organization and we not get to a Super Bowl ... he's outstanding and he's outstanding at winning games, coming from behind. ... If we don't do that while he's active, it will be the biggest disappointment for me."

Very possibly this was just a case of a hyped up owner basking in the glory of his, altogether surprising, team's eighth victory of the season - a season Jones himself pegged in the off-season as an "uphill battle," according to Todd Archer of ESPN.

Romo is a talented quarterback, and Jones has committed a lot of money and a lot of draft resources to putting a quality team out on the field. Their lack of success in recent seasons has to have left the owner with a bitter taste in his mouth, but it clearly hasn't tempered his hope that Romo can lead the team to a Super Bowl berth, and possibly even ultimate victory.
