When Tony Romo isn't in Vegas, he actually manages to play some pretty fine football, if anyone has noticed.

In case no one was looking, Romo is just two scores away from 100 career touchdown passes. It's taken the Cowboys quarterback just 52 games with at least one attempt to reach 98. If he gets two more against the Giants on Sunday he will be the fourth fastest to 100.

Here's the list of fastest quarterbacks to 100 TDs:

Dan Marino . . . 44
Kurt Warner . . . 50
Johnny Unitas . . . 51
Peyton Manning . . . 56

Romo likely will fit in between the two Colts passers in the record books. As soon as things appear to not be going just perfectly in December, we're bound to start hearing about how Romo just can't get it done.

But because of numbers like this, we all know better, right? Sometimes it's important to really appreciate what you have.

That's good for him as an individual, I prefer team records.

Well unless he threw AND caught all of those TD passes, I guess it is more than just an individual stat...although i get what you mean.:cool:

52 games?

Not by my calculations.

2006...10 games, 19 TDs

2007...16 games, 36 TDs

2008...13 games, 26 TDs

2009...11 games, 17 TDs

That is 50 games (35-15 in case anyone is curious) and 98 TDs.

So, he can tie Johnny Unitas at 51 games to 100 TDs. Pretty danged amazing.
