DC.COM Blog: Romo Closing In On Impressive Milestone

What is "the reason Tony Romo has not reached this milestone sooner"?

 

[Hostile]

counting playoff games it is 52.

In 2006 against the Seahawks he threw a TD to Patrick Crayton in the 2nd Quarter.

In 2007 he threw a TD to Terrell Owens in the 2nd quarter.

That puts him at 100 not at 98. One way or the other the calculation is off.

are you guys counting that Texans game in 06 where he threw 2 passes(1 for a td to Owens)? he didn't start that game but he came in at the end.

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.

I think Romo is the most underrated player in the league.

Okay, I think you just solved my mystery. That game and the Giants game where he relieved Bledsoe would make 52 games, 98 TDs. I was only counting starts.

Thank you.

The quote in my sig is for you.

Oh, I can see you becoming quite annoying with that.

Time to go the way of Old Yeller.

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.

Speaking of the 35-15 record as a starter, this 70% winning percentage places him amongst the top 5 winningest active QBs with at least 50 starts. The others are Brady (77%), Rivers (71%), Roethlisberger (70%) and P. Manning (68%).

Unfortuantely this whining fan base that cares more about romo's hat than his performance will not fully appreciate him until he is gone.

What a shame.

I love the guy.
