Romo shoots down doubters with attack on passing efficiency records

[TEK2000]

Lets face it, Romo has put up a lot better numbers than Aikman ever did, but unless Romo wins in the post season and a Super Bowl or two, all those stats won't convince anybody that Romo is a better QB than Aikman. Stats are worthless to anybody outside of FF. It's all about wins. Aikman won. Romo has not.


The End.

Hard to argue against that point.

The QB's that have won championships get the most respect.

It may not be fair to the individual QB's... but that's just the way it is.

No other position has their legacy tied to team success like the QB position.

the TEAM fades in december. you expect him to win every single game on his own? i know he's good and all, but that is a little unrealistic. there is no magic in the air that makes romo suck during december. it's called injuries and fatigue. have you seen their december schedule this year(or last year for that matter)? BRUTAL.

Too many people have already listed Romo's December/January stats, and they are the polar opposite of the gaudy "Look at how magnificent Romo is" stats of September and October. True, teams lose games, but Romo's productivity nosedive in December most definitely helps bring many of those losses to fruition.

Anybody remember those last couple of drives Romo had in his last playoff game? The offense looked confused and way out of whack. I mean, they literally looked clueless. That includes their QB. Romo did not lead his offense like he should have. He may have still been digesting those drinks he had while vactioning with Witten.

Yeah, getting thrown around like a ragdoll, and having so-called "clutch" receivers be anything but didn't have anything to do with it.

And I agree with the rest here he hasn't done anything yet. But anything's possible hell look at Eli.

So none of that confusion at the line or ineptness was on Romo? It was all everybody else, huh? You keep on believing that. I know Romo believes it.

Eli is clutch. Romo isn't. I'd take Eli over Romo any day of the week and especially on Sunday.

I guess Romo needed to be out there running routes and catching the football rather than Patrick Crayton... who dropped a ball when he was WIDE OPEN on a 2nd and 20 and then the last drive was confused on what route to run. Had he just ran the fly route it would have been a TD (if he simply caught the football).

It wasn't just one play. Drops happen. You should know, you had the king of drops on your team for a few years.

That offense was in a state of confusion on both of the last two drives. That comes down to leadership. You didn't get any leadership from Wade or from your field general Romo.

You guys can point your fingers at everyone else. Nobody is saying Romo is completely to blame. But eventually that finger has to rest on the guy in charge of running that side of the ball.

Romo can be counted on for one thing: turnovers at crucial times.

That's the history.

We're not making this stuff up.

I don't know AR.... I don't tend to blame the QB when an OLineman false starts or we get an illegal formation penalty because 1 guy isn't lined up just right.

I expect individuals to be at least competent enough at their own jobs to not make foolish mistakes like that.

Those are the type of penalties that have plagued this team for the past several seasons... dating back to pre-Romo and even during the mighty Bill Parcells time.

Those types of penalties at that stage of games is what cost you games. Championship level teams don't make foolish, drive killing penalties like that.

But what is so funny is most of the story talks about Romo's career's stats....so that means they are that high even with the nose dives he has taken late every year.....Just think what they could of been if he stayed steady all season long.....so you can talk about his late season issues all you want and yes they are true ..he does have those issues.....but that still does not change the stats the OP posted

If it weren't for dropped passes the game would have been over by halftime, when Romo threw a certain pick 6 right into Corey Webster's hands.

Yes because a 7 point lead at halftime means the game is out of reach...

With Romo playing in January, it pretty much is. And besides, the Giants scored 14 points in the first half. A Webster pick 6 would have made it a 14 point lead.

Back on point, Romo is a good QB. I hate the Cowboys but I'm not one to lie. When I watch him I see only 2 flaws- turnovers and an inability to win the big game. Those are big flaws but the man deserves his job overall. If he can stop turning the ball over he will win some big games.

Be prepared to have your team loyalty called into question!
