I'm totally geared up for a Romo debate, unlike usually, I usually hate them just because the answers seem so cut clear, black and white that the falls are NOT his fault, but I've been arguing with my Giants fan buddy whos' trying to defend Eli over Romo, and just to give you a taste of how these arguments go, he said the Giants are a clear cut favorite to win the East because every other team is full of question marks, and Romo doesn't care now because he got paid.
So about Romo, I believe, that equipped with the teams Brees. Peyton, Eli, Ben, etc. have. he'd be a multiple Super Bowl winning QB at this point. It's almost comical, the amount of things that keep us from winning that are just fluke, bad luck things, completely unrelated to Romo, whether it be a drop on a caught pass that could have sealed us a playoff victory, Romo playing in a meaningless game, just to almost break his hand for a win or go home game the next week, playing a better part of his career with defenses full of has beens, that were huffing air by the third quarter. Two throws to that people are seemingly loving to talk about in this thread: the 2011 "overthrow" to Miles where he basically blew out his hammy running that ball out, and the INT vs. the Jets to start the year, where Dez' quad gave out on him.
Show me another quarterback that faces these kind of things, and I'll show you the Blaine Gabberts', Alex Smith's, and Ryan Fitzpatrick's of the NFL; in other words, quarterbacks that suck and and take their teams to losing records year in and year out. Meanwhile, Romo, playing with teams that either can;t protect leads, or can't protect him, takes these aforementioned teams to 8-8 records, and throws for over 3,000 yards and 30+ TDs on the way to doing so.
