Cool Romo Stat

[TX Cowboy]

Wow, someone doesn't get it...it being several things.

1. What the post was saying (hint: Not throwing QBs under the bus)
2. Teams wins superbowls, not QBs.
3. The stat does mean something to those who get it.

Exactly my point less is more...I don't believe that 1 stat outshines
7 QB's who went on to be super bowl champions and mvps of that
game. If anything I am envious that we're not anywhere near to
close to what the Ravens, Saints, Giants, Bronco's and Steelers
have as far an entire team of talented players capable of not
padding the stats in order to be relevant

less is more

less is more

Frankly, I think that should be your mantra when you are deciding whether or not to post.

Do us all a favor, less is more.

When I care what you think I'll take it under advisement...till then just because you want to be a whinny
little chump who hates the truth, doesn't mean everyone here shares in your ufinizums/delusions, there
are many who know the truth and they hate it's there..but then we have well (you) who wants to glidely
pass by the writing on the wall and continue to falsely believe there is a chance

well go fore it!!! Truth isn't for everyone, You'll be crying as you are now slamming your
fist against the computer screen, ripping the house apart wondering how, In the hell did
he know ahead of time this was all going to happen?? now move along I've wasted more
than enough time educating the uneducated

Wow we're really going to throw super bowl champion quarterbacks under the bus for someone
who can't get past the 1st rd of the playoffs, Just because of 1 stat that doesn't mean
a damn thing to anyone?

I wouldn't but I'd throw a few in the driver's seat. Romo is elite. You don't need another guy to carry the offense's water. The team hasn't been and likely won't be this year although greater surprises have happened. That doesn't mean the offense can't get them to the SB. Just relatively long odds.

 

[jobberone]

That'll do it for the call outs and dares to put you on ignore. PM someone and ask them to discuss it civilly or you put them on ignore without fanfare. No one needs to know.

 

[Mountaineerfan]

This is so stupid. Show me a stat like more than two post season wins in the same year before any of this becomes relevant.

Stats like this show Romo is not the problem. With all due respect, this isn't stupid, it's very interesting.

What's also interesting is the Falcons' Matt Ryan has a cool nickname- "Matty Ice"- and he has the same number of playoff wins as Romo.

That was quite the post. Apparently the inverse of the aforementioned truism is sometimes also true. More is less.

Good luck with your vitriol and enjoy wallowing in your negativity.

Which makes both irrelevant until they win more in the post season. Also I think most know Romo is not the problem by himself.

What I Love: Absolutely destroying haters with this kind of stuff (I especially when they say something to try to impress their girlfriends)

What I Miss: I hardly hear the hate anymore. It's like they've given up.

You know what I love? Players who step up in the win and in games/playoffs and carry their teams. I like super bowl trophies too.

Agree completely and you said it perfectly.

Nobody has stepped up and carried his team more than Romo. It's a shame that the organization hasn't done their job and helped all of us get Super Bowl trophies.

Didn't you know a quarterback gets ten extra points added to his rating for every Super Bowl appearance?

 

[VACowboy]

4th qtr or OT, tied or trailing by no more than 8 points, pass thrown at least 15 yards in the air.

There are 13 passers with at least 80 such attempts in that situation.

Romo 48 of 98 1483 yd 10 td 3 int 116.2 (91.4)
PManning 39 of 96 1184 yd 8 td 3 int 102.1 (95.6)
Rodgers 35 of 81 1076 yd 7 td 4 int 98.4 (93.1)
Brees 47 of 100 1387 yd 9 td 7 int 94.2 (92.4)
EManning 54 of 131 1650 yd 12 td 10 int 87.2 (92.3)
Palmer 45 of 101 1213 yd 7 td 9 int 75.2 (91.7)
Roethlsbrgr 53 of 120 1313 yd 6 td 8 int 73.4 (95.1)
Flacco 43 of 116 1135 yd 8 td 8 int 68.0 (77.4)
Cutler 39 of 103 1112 yd 6 td 8 int 65.7 (95.7)
Ryan 43 of 106 1106 yd 4 td 7 int 64.4 (81.8)
Stafford 36 of 95 1015 yd 2 td 6 int 58.9 (90.7)
Brady 37 of 109 1049 yd 6 td 8 int 58.2 (91.1)
Rivers 45 of 125 1090 yd 5 td 14 int 42.2 (88.6)

In case you were wondering, the number in parentheses is the player's rating on the shorter throws.

Great stuff, percy.

I agree he is not the problem
Jerruh is...but stats don't trump
titles, Now I know by the media's
calculations stats are as important
thus they should be counted....I
however am an old schooler that
looks for 53 competitors and titles
before looking at stats

You can compare which 53 man team was better by the titles yes. You cannot compare if 1 player is better than another because that 1 player was on a championship team

Imagine if Tony had coaches that didn't rely on him to bail out a crappy game plan each week.

 

[Insomniac]

How many of those games did they win? This is always the more significant and cooler stat for me.

The Play Index on pro-football-reference is a very useful tool but it does have some limitations. (oh to be able to use SQL on the data). However this question can be answered with a little work.

I changed the query used so that only Cowboys plays are used.
Instead of aggregate stats I chose the individual plays option.
I then sorted the results by date, copied to a spreadsheet and filtered out plays that did not involve Romo and separated the plays by game..

The Cowboys had 49 different games with at least 1 play in the situation and had a record of 22-27 in those games.
Last year team with a point margin of 0 to -8 points at the end of the 3rd quarter went 57-93 for a .380 win%.

Romo isn't given enough respect by others outside of cowboyszone. He is a badass in the clutch.

You should post more.

It's kind of nice reading these Romo threads and knowing the only posters who are going to criticize are the ones who can't or won't distinguish the play of an individual from the play of an entire team. Everybody else either just gets it or has nothing to harp on because Romo is really really good.

It wasn't always this way, but it really pretty much always should have been.
