A New QB Ranking & Some More Startling Romo Numbers

[DandyDon1722]

Bucky Brooks has Rodgers, Roethlisberger, Luck, Wilson, Brady in that order which I'm not totally sold on, especially Wilson

He also admits that Romo is probably under-ranked here and also debunks the narrative which was nice to see.

Despite whether you agree with the ranking though, these number on Tony in the last two minutes are simply incredible.


6) Tony Romo, Dallas Cowboys


It's possible that Romo is underrated on this list, based on his sensational production over the years. He's quietly ranked as one of the most efficient quarterbacks in NFL history -- his career passer rating of 97.6 is the second-best all time -- and he is a better clutch performer than the commonly held narrative suggests. Romo has engineered 28 game-winning drives in his nine seasons as the starter, including 24 fourth-quarter comebacks. Although his spectacular failures in a few late-game situations have created the perception that he underperforms when the game is on the line, Romo is at his best more often than not when everything is hanging in the balance.

Consider that in the last two minutes of the half in last season's games, Romo compiled a passer rating of 123.1 and a touchdown-to-interception ratio of 7:0. In fourth-quarter situations when the game was within seven points, Romo completed 75 percent of his passes and posted a passer rating of 120.7. In other words, he delivered when it mattered. With the Cowboys shifting to a physical, run-first offense behind the best offensive line in football, Romo should continue to play at a high level as an efficient distributor from the pocket.

I was so annoyed at the gb loss i only recently realized romo had a 143.6 passer rating. I know he has some ridiculous losses with almost perfect rating, but thats just insane. Not to mention the dez catch would have upped it more if they got the call right

He balled in the playoffs. It's always some crazy stuff that meses it up for him.

I'm more annoyed with Luck at number 3. He's always rated so highly as a projection. Seriously look at his numbers since he's entered the league. Ridiculously pedestrian.

Thankfully for him.... The Texans... The jags... And the Titans gift him wins year after year since he's been in the league.

Texans have employed journeyman after journeyman at qb and the titans and jags have used top 3 picks the last two years to hopefully have a guy.

We stomped them. And probably would have each of the last 3 years. And largely due to our much better qb.

But there is Luck...Ranked as a top 3 qb in ranking after ranking.

There should be a forum rule that the title of a post must state whether it's a Bucky Brooks article, so people don't have to click on it.

This guy has Eli Manning at #9 and Russell Wilson above Tom Brady. It's hard to take anything he says seriously.

For sure, I'd quickly leave him out of team leadership...and make him win a Lombardi or three. Not!

Hey CC, how's the flooding there in Corpus?

Hey CC, how's the flooding there in Corpus?

This series of floodings have been merciless in Texas. My prayers are still going up as more are discovered daily. A four story wall of water is just so very destructive. More force than a sunami.

A tornado hit about twenty miles from our home, but we have weathered fine were we are located.

In just five months, our region has already received what is a whole year's worth of rain.

Thank you for showing your compassion, my friend.

I know its bad. We are dry and no rain for a while. We could use some and you all could use less.

How does Eli always end up in Cowboys POSITIVE posts concerning Romo? Does someone have a fixation? ;-) Well there should have been an Moji thing there but my phone apparently doesn't like those.

That's why it is so important from here on out to build up the defense. I expect next year's draft to be just as defensive heavy as this one was.

 

[AmericanCowboy]

I always se Romos 4th quarter comeback stats compared to Eli Manning- people need to realize that Romo has the same amount of comebacks as Eli while playing in about 16 fewer games due to injury.

Romo is top 5 no question and the man deserves a ring!

Just goes to prove that the Romo haters don't know what they're talking about. They focus on the few times Romo has had issues late and ignore the overwhelming number of times he's been successful late.

Bucky Brooks. Now there is the definition of a hack.
