Former [Dallas Cowboys star quarterback Tony Romo had fun](https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/dallas-cowboys/cowboys-news-tony-romo-hilariously-admits-faking-italian-heritage-for-bill-parcells) during his time with the team. And now he’s [watching Dak Prescott erase](https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/dallas-cowboys/cowboys-news-dak-prescott-breaks-tony-romos-franchise-record-eagles-game) some of his records. Looking back, Romo said he’s not a big regrets guy but confessed there was one thing that sticks with him, according to NFL.com.
“I'm not a guy with big regrets, I guess you could say,” Romo said on a recent episode of the “Pardon My Take” podcast. “The only regret I guess I would have is that my job was to bring a Super Bowl to Dallas. And I didn't do it. So that always sticks with me a little bit because you give your whole body, heart, soul, everything into it. And you just wanted that for all the fans, for the Joneses, for everybody that you're around.
“So that one always sticks with me a little bit just because I had that opportunity and just wasn't able to do it. So that part of it kind of still sits there.”
**Not much was expected of QB Tony Romo**
-----------------------------------------
Romo didn’t seem to be good enough for the NFL. Teams passed him by in the 2003 draft. But the Cowboys scooped him up, and he became their starter in 2006. In that season, he earned his first of four Pro Bowl appearances.
Despite a solid career that included 34,813 passing yards and 248 touchdowns, Romo didn’t have much playoff success. The Cowboys went 2-4 during his tenure. They beat the Eagles in 2009, but got blown out by the Vikings in the divisional round. Romo threw an interception and lost two fumbles in that game.

Then in 2014, Romo helped the Cowboys beat the Lions before a tough 26-21 loss to the Packers at Lambeau Field. Romo threw a pair of touchdown passes and didn’t turn the ball over, but it wasn’t enough.
He retired at age 36 when Dak Prescott pushed him out of the starting role.
“But at the end it was like I could go somewhere else and do it,” he said. “Because I was like, I gotta win a Super Bowl. It's literally what you play the game for. Nothing else matters … but would that be the same if I went somewhere else and did it? Because at that point I'd known the game at such a high level.
“My last 20, 25 games, we were pretty successful when healthy. But I was getting injured more often. Body breaks down in some ways through the years. I think just it was as simple as it just wouldn't feel as important.”
