Did Romo beat you out for the starting job in high school or something? You talk about Romo more than Candice and you regurgitate other's opinions like an ESPN "analyst".

What I posted was facts. Ofcourse you'd want to pass it off as opinions.

He didn't quit on the route. Crayton gave a hesitation move and the timing was off. Convenient how ya'll want to ignore the very next play which is Romo throwing an interception to seal the game for the Giants.

No.

First, Crayton dropped a probable touchdown on a crossing route Then later he quit a route on a perfectly thrown ball to the end zone.

Only thing he'll ever be remembered for.

And Romo wilted on the final play to seal the deal with an interception. How convenient ya'll sweep that play under the rug.

He quit the route. It was either force the ball or take the sack either way game was over because Crayton quit his route. Play earlier in the game going across the middle with no one within 10 yards and he dropped a ball that hit him in the hands didn't help either!

I was 10 or 11 when "The Catch," happened. I was pretty devastated as a 10 year old kid, and I thought that was the play. But as I sit here and think about it..... I was at Lambeau Field with me 30 year old Daughter when we watched Dez Bryant catch the ball, place it in one hand, take three steps, lunge for the gola line only to have it rules incomplete. I was at the 92 nfc title game against the niners. I feel like I was robbed out of a similar type game. If we didnt get screwed, that game may go down as one of the greatest in our storied history, and we were robbed. So, yeah... im thinking that game hurt me since it was at lambeau and we had a team capable of winning title and were totally screwed.

Looked like a classic hesitation move to me to create space between himself and the defender. In either case, Romo still had 16 seconds on the clock to work with and decided to throw the game ending interception.

Excuses. He didn't deliver. It was his job to step up right then and there and he failed to do so.
He did deliver. Twice.

How many times should he have to win the game?

Here's a good stat:

NFL Passer Rating Career Leaders
Rank Player Different ratings are used by the NFL and NCAA.
Minimum 1500 pass attempts to qualify as career leader, minimum 150 pass attempts for playoffs leader.

1 Aaron Rodgers 103.1 2005-2018 gnb
2 Russell Wilson 100.3 2012-2018 sea
3 Drew Brees 97.7 2001-2018 2TM
4 Tom Brady 97.6 2000-2018 nwe
5 Tony Romo 97.1 2004-2016 dal
6 Steve Young+ 96.8 1985-1999 2TM
7 Peyton Manning 96.5 1998-2015 2TM

Now do I believe Romo is the 5th best QB of all time? No, I don't. I would say he's a notch below HOF. Just like you posting his downfalls aren't the end all be all. Stats are just part of the picture. You watched Romo's career and only saw his short comings. I watched the team come up short multiple times. I saw a man try to carry the team on his back to a super bowl, but he could not. He is not Tom Brady or Peyton Manning. That is not a slight to Romo dude, that's how good Brady and Manning are.

Corner route, he had the db beat and stopped because he wasn't the primary receiver. Even the booth announcers were flabbergasted on why he quit. The next play was 4th down 3dl came free... it was either throw it or take the sack!

Regular season stat padder, late season choker. We're well aware of this pathetic narrative to artificially inflate Romo's legacy
