Totally meaningless stat without context. What was the record in the games? How many opportunities does he have compared to the rest of the league?

Just like the all 22 film can't reveal anything... without context. LOL, excuse maker extraordinaire.

 

[dallasfan4lizife]

How many of them have a real GM, HC and don't have to put up 40 points a game for their team to have a chance?

I'm not saying it's all his fault. But he was a huge reason why we lost tonight. Defense and OC share the blame as well. If romo could throw an accurate ball they would have put 50+ on that decrepit packers defense.

Ummmm......anyone who doesn't put any blame on our 100 million QB needs their head examined.

Guy completely melted down in the fourth quarter when his team NEEDED him most.

He deserves some blame for today no doubt and maybe they do put up 50 if he plays better. Fact is they shouldn't have to in order to win in the NFL. 36 points should be enough. A coach should know when a situation requires running the football and not running the football.

It may sound like excuse making but IMHO there is a lot wrong with this team and Romo is far down the list.

zzzzz......and a perennial 8-8 team is better??????

I haven't seen a single poster trying to put Romo on the same pedestal as Aikman or any other truly great quarterback.

I criticize Romo when he deserves it but as someone who never got to see Aikman or any quarterback before him I get terrified when I think about this team without Romo. I don't see Jerry being able to find someone better. I just don't. Once Romo leaves we'll officially be the Dallas Raiders.

The future may prove to be brighter than I suspect but I doubt it.

The future can be bright if we hit on a qb in the draft and find a coach. Kinda like the niners have done. Good coaching increases win total by at least 20 percent

Yeah. But it would be 31 if romo didnt throw that interception

It happens to the best of them.

I'm not absolving him of blame, but if the team had not completely collapsed in the 2nd half and the coaching staff gone out to lunch, they wouldn't have NEEDED him at all in the last 5 minutes to do anything but hand off to Murray.

That's the point. This team is built so that if Romo isn't flawless they can't win.

And for a lot of knuckleheads here, the answer to that is replace Romo.

Come on now. The defense gave up 5 touchdowns in the 2nd half and the offense put up 36 points total.

 

[SultanOfSix]

Not necessarily. But the ones who refuse to put any blame on romo for anything are, in fact, blind homers. Ya know, the ones who try to put tony up there with aikman's and the greats.

Aikman had Emmitt Smith to hand off to, a fantastic defense, and Jimmy Johnson as his HC when he was winning SBs.

Just like the all 22 film can't reveal anything... without context. LOL, excuse maker extraordinaire.

It's not an excuse. The point is there has to be context provided for it. If Romo has twice as many interceptions in twice as many games, then it breaks out evenly and the stat becomes meaningless because it fits the average. He's no more a choker than the average QB put into that situation.

I don't believe in curses, but this team makes me wonder.

Lol I know. I'd be indifferent to an 8-8 season vs. 6-10 or 7-9

What has Jerry Jones done the last 20 years to make you think he'll do either one of those?

Assuming I'm using the playfinder right on pro football reference this is what I've got for Tony's 4th quarter tied or ahead by one score stats:

http://pfref.com/tiny/9eBDb
145 /221 2256 yards 19tds 8ints 10.2ypa 112.9 rating

That's one more INT then is recorded by espn actually. So I'm wondering if there some discrepancy between the ESPN numbers and PFRs play by play numbers.

 

[Super_Kazuya]

Nearly double any other qb and I don't think he's played double the games of anyone else.

He just throws picks at the wrong time. This is a known fact. Been this way for years. Whether you want to admit it or not. This is the part that matters, not the stat.

He's probably played double the games of 75% of the starting quarterbacks in the league. Keep trying.

What do you think a Quncy Carter led team would be doing with this defense and HC?

Tony is not aikman. Idc what aikman had around him. He won this franchise multiple superbowls. I will not slap Troy in the face by putting tony in his category.

What has Jerry Jones done the last 20 years to make you think he'll do either one of those?

See here's a poster trying to put tony in aikman's category. Did Jerry pick the old core of romo witten ware miles? He just needs to do a little better this time. I have hope.

 

[percyhoward]

The rest of the league.
7 ints since 06 in the 4th quarter with the game tied or up by one score. Nearly double any other qb.
Don't embarrass yourself

ESPN is slipping. They shorted him 3 INT.

Romo is 153 of 233 for 2328 yd 20 td 10 int 109.2

The 20 TD are 7 more than any other QB in that situation since 2006.

 

[TrailBlazer]

Does that change the fact that he throws picks at the wrong time far too often? Nope, sure doesn't. And that's what matters. Keep trying to defend him tho.
