BTB: Meme-Busting Tony Romo Suddenly So Clutch Even Madden Changed His Rating

[NewsBot]

Old news for Cowboys fans, big news for NFL reporters: Tony Romo is clutch.

The "Madden NFL" series of video games has a feature called "Player Traits," and one of the ratings in those player traits is "Clutch." The clutch setting provides a ratings boost to the clutch players in the final minutes of games or in tight situations. At the start of the season, 28 players were designated as "Clutch" in 'Madden NFL 16'. Tony Romo was not one of them, but that changed yesterday.

I was going to post this too.

The entire NFLmedia world has finally seen what we have known for years now.

Vindication.

And to think there are posters here who don't even have Romo as the best qb in this division.

Where the hell was the media on the comeback against Detroit, and then winning throw to Dez at GB? That ball was on the money but we got screwed. It took Sundays game to figure all this out?

 

[Doomsday]

I hate to admit but I thought the Cowboys should move on from Romo a couple of years ago instead of giving him a big contract extension.

Glad to see he has proved me wrong in a big way, he has played the best football of his career the last 2 seasons and we are lucky to have him.

Well he's been clutch for years so the fact he didn't have that rating before the season tells you all you need to know about their accuracy.

They started to whisper he was clutch around that time.

That TD pass against the Giants was just far more exciting for a lot of people. Crap like that gets people talking. Things have shifted from calling Romo clutch to criticizing Manning.

 

[mattjames2010]

But yeah, Romo has been doing this stuff for quite some time now. The guy threw 5 INTs against Buffalo back in 07 and still led the team on a game winning drive. He did against the Lions too in 07.

I was the same way after the Washington win and you're in game in 2012 that we lost. Those turnovers were bad on his part. I thought it would be best for the Cowboys and for Romo.
To be fair, the defense and the O-line weren't nearly as good as they were the past 2 seasons either. Thankfully, the 3 units (Romo, O-line and the defense) got better.

I hate to admit but I thought the Cowboys should move on from Romo a couple of years ago instead of giving him a big contract extension.

Crap indeed. They tried to take that away by saying the refs blew it.

That's when I knew Romo was fearless.
I couldn't believe Parxells let him continue to play. Tony is a beast.

It takes a big man to admit when he's wrong, and I am not a big man.

Well, lucky for Romo, Phillips was the coach at that time. Phillips just did his facepalm. Remember that?
