Down 6 pts with the ball 1:59 left in the 4th quarter no timeouts. Who are you going with?

[eromeopolk]

Roger Staubach. Captain Comeback. Even Troy would choose Roger.

 

[RoboQB]

I picked Troy (of course).
However, I would point out that most of his games
were essentially wrapped up by the end of the 3rd quarter.

I fully understand the Romo votes. Many times he
kept BOTH teams in the game. "Romo Makes Me Drink"
was a thing back then. Exhibit A: the game in Buffalo on a Monday Night. 5 ints and a win!?! I called in "sick" the next morning... lol

I'm struggling to think of a memorable 2 minute comeback engineered by Tad's brother.

 

[RoboQB]

Why? I wondered. Silly question, but then I saw a large percentage going with Tony Romo who choked the bit in almost every big game he ever played. I'm shocked.

Maybe the poll should be, who would you want? Dak, Rush, Lance, or a rookie QB at 24.

Oddly enough, Romo retired with the highest career
QB rating in the 4th quarter in NFL history. Go figure.

 

[RoboQB]

Roger Staubach. Captain Comeback. Even Troy would choose Roger.

There's a reason he's not included in the poll.
I mean, he's Captain Comeback! Any vote other than
Roger Staubach would be an instant clown alert.

 

[buybuydandavis]

Romo Without a doubt. Aikman was only great when he had a great team around him. #1 Defense, #1 offensive line and the greatest running back to ever carry the ball. When he lost that, he struggled.

Compared to Aikman, Romo was both more of a playmaker and more of a mistake maker.

To pull off a miracle, you want the higher variance player. Romo.
To avoid an unforced disaster, you want the lower variance player. Aikman.

 

[ShortRound]

I voted Aikman but prime Romo on the 90’s teams would have been something.

According to PFR,

In these scenarios (trailing < 2 min to go in 4th):

Tony Romo

130 completions
202 attempts
1487 yards
14 tds
3 ints

Great facts there.

Some ammo for the Romo fans on just how good he was.

(trailing < 2 min to go in 4th) QB Rating: 103.3

It gets better:
4th Down QB rating - 112 - That's just incredible. 4th down was his *best* down by over 10 points.

I thought that was incredible.

Here is an unbelievable cartoon stat:

4th & 10+ QB rating : 158.3
Perfect. How is that even possible?
9/10 141 yards 2 TDs 8 1ds 0 Ints

On that stat, gotta be the GOAT, right?

For the PFR site nerds:
Is there any easy way to get a compilation table of those career stats across all QBs?

I think so, with Stathead, PFR's paid service. Even the free trial I'd have to learn how to use. Don't have the time today. Maybe some other Romo fan can do the needful.

[StarOfGlory]

Roger is my write-in answer, followed by Troy.

 

[buybuydandavis]

I'm struggling to think of a memorable 2 minute comeback engineered by Tad's brother.

How late in the game was the bomb to Beasley?
Don't think it was 2 minute.

[Zekeats]

Well this pole showed me that there are at least 4 ******** people who voted

 

[Cowboysheelsreds053]

You serious pappy?

LOL

 

[nathanlt]

Seriously?
The true answer is captain comeback!

I'm so glad that was the first answer, because we were all thinking it!

 

[PAPPYDOG]

4 DAK votes and they scream for a massive extension..
Gotta laugh just gotta laugh!!!

but Romo dated pretty stars and wouldn't meet skanks behind strip joints.

 

[QuikZ06]

Mahomes

 

[32BellyOption]

Romo 24 4th quarter comebacks 29 game winning drives.

Prescott 15 4th quarter comebacks 20 game winning drives.

Aikman 14 4th quarter comebacks 22 game winning drives.

The numbers say Romo.

Aikman had leads late in games moreso than the others thus the lower comeback numbers.

 

[erod]

This sums it up

Romo had to be perfect must years because his defenses were historically the worst in NFL history most years and he was running for his life.

With Troy's teams, he wins 4 Super Bowls, maybe 5.

 

[DallasEast]

Is this poll the one and only time ever on CowboysZone, when Tony Romo and Dak Prescott proponents can mutually agree the former is seen as better than the latter in a single category? I mean, the voting gap between both men is currently 72 to 4. And one of the latter's votes cost the voting member a cookie!

 

[tyke1doe]

That don't get you down the field with less than 2 minutes to go. Making plays does!

But knowing who won't disappoint you when you throw them the ball is all about making plays.
