Lot's of truth there.
It's probably no coincidence that 2012 was the very rock bottom of our o-line issues as well.
Even then...as bad as it was compared to his usual years....he was nearly led the league in passing yards with 4900 and had far more TDs than ints.
It was sheer volume that led to so many ints...he and Brees were tied for league lead with 19.
His "bad" year really was not that bad at all relative to most QBs.
Examples
Romo "bad" year: 4900 yards, 28 TDs, 19 ints, (so +9 TD:int) 65% comp , 90.5 rating.
E Manning bad year: 3800 yards, 18 TDs, 27 ints (so - 9 TD:int) 57% comp, 69.2 rating.
He's never really had a "bad" year and has never come close to throwing more picks than TDs.
His worst rating was 90.5
Brady, Roethlisberger, Rivers and almost everyone else not named Payton or Aaron have had seasons worse than that.
lol...Guys like Flacco and Eli would consider that one of their best seasons ever.
