Woodson, "At the end of the day, we're going to measure QBs based on what they do in the postseason."
Nope, that's just the standard that Romo is held to.
Nobody's mad at Aaron Rodgers for winning 6 games in his first year at the helm or for losing in his first and only playoff appearance @ Arizona. And yes, he played well in that Arizona game, but he blew it in OT by missing a wide open WR downfield on what would've been a winning TD (before taking the sack/fumble that ended the game). We'd still be hearing about it today if it were Romo who lost a playoff game in such a manner.
Nobody questioned Drew Brees' ability to win in the playoffs last season, despite entering the season with all of ONE playoff victory under his belt. Now Romo enters THIS season with ONE playoff victory, but we're still hearing those idiotic criticisms.
Matt Schaub, ditto. Never even been to the playoffs, which is clearly worse than getting there and losing. If Woodson's statement had any truth to it whatsoever, the media would be slamming Schaub and labeling him as a bum. But they don't. Incredibly, they put him up there with Romo. Some have him a little below Romo, some have him a little above Romo. But they have him up there with Romo, a QB who has won 38 of his 55 career regular season games and taken his team to the playoffs 3 times in 3.5 years at the helm.
I understand why the media gives Romo crap... he's the QB of America's Team. He's marketable. It's a ratings bonanza. But Rod Woodson is full of crap in saying that all QBs are held to the same standard.
