HOUSTON (AP) – Tony Romo and Matt Schaub waited three seasons to become starting quarterbacks in the NFL, and that’s about the only thing their career paths have in common.
Romo went from Eastern Illinois to one of the highest-profile positions in sports. Yeah, he’s put up good numbers in seven-plus seasons, but he may be scrutinized as much for his female companions – Jessica Simpson and Carrie Underwood among them – as he is for anything he’s accomplished in football.
Schaub was a record-setting quarterback at Virginia, backed up Michael Vick in Atlanta, married a Falcons cheerleader and is just now getting recognition as one of the game’s elite quarterbacks.
Romo and the struggling Cowboys (0-2) visit Schaub and the surging Texans (2-0) on Sunday, a perfect chance for Houston’s quarterback to grab some of the spotlight usually reserved for the other guy.
