Did i miss something???.....6 INTS!!!

Uh, because Manning is well into his career so we judge his performance as an aberration.

Romo is at the beginning of his career, so we fear that that may be characteristic of his gunslinging mentality.

Context people.

Manning has thrown four INTs more than once in his career and he failed to win big games in college and in NFL until last year, and until last year he was labelled as a "choker".

As a starter, Romo has never thrown more than two INTs in a game until Bills game.

In that context, probability of Manning throwing 6 INTs in a game is greater than Romo throwing 5 INTs in a game.

Well, that proven QB should have known how to stop the bleeding (as Steve Young so aply stated)

Well, when you're down to second and third stringers, what do you expect?

When your receivers don't even peel back to break up an interception, what do you expect?

He was labeled a choker because he didn't win the big one. He was not labeled a choker for his in-season performance.

Second, regardless, he has won the Super Bowl. So that works in his favor.

As a starter, Romo has never thrown more than two INTs in a game until Bills game.

You're really reaching now aren't you? You have a probability breakdown to show me to support your claim? I see you shifted your argument by using different numbers.

It doesn't even make sense. Peyton has been a starter since 1998 and this is his first 6-INT game.

Tony Romo has been a starter since October of last year and he had his first 5-INT game in his 16th game.

Let's see 150 games and Manning has his first 6-INTs vs. 16 games and Romo throws 5-INTs.

Yeah, it's more likely Peyton is going to have a 6-INT game.

Regardless, Peyton has more of track record than Romo. So it's understandable that Romo's 5-INTs would be a bigger deal than Manning's because Romo hasn't been doing it as long as Manning. He hasn't established himself with the longevity needed to determine whether his 5-INT game was an aberration or a frequent occurence.

there is a huge differense in a guy who is a future hall of famer and just won the super bowl and a unproven qb in his 16th game.
romo was a bigger story because of his track record. he has far fewer games to prove what he has than manning has.
we know what we have in romo but the rest of the world is just now catching on

Thank you.

At least someone understands.

Again, this is no knock on Tony Romo. It's just that he's more of an unproven commodity than Manning is.

Heck, even Tom Brady has had multiple-interception games. If he were at the beginning of his career, it would be an issue. If he does it now, it will be an aberration. Same with Manning and hopefully the same with Romo some day.
