[cowboys19]

Can someone who knows all about these stats, please explain it to me? This is the quarterbacks rankings. I was wondering where Romo ranks there

Well he is in there, but they have so many different type of percentage #'s and all kinds of things they grade the QB by.

Was wondering if anyone knew what those #' exactly mean.

You're looking at DPAR which essentially ranks QB's based on what they've done for the total season. Since Romo has only played 2 1/2 games so far, he hasn't been able to accumulate the statistics that say Alex Smith or Chad Pennington have as they have played every game this season.

If you want to look at his ranking based on a per *play* basis, look at the DVOA. He's ranked 8th right now. Not bad considering the INT's he had in the NYG game.
