2012 when Romo led the league in interceptions and just barely broke the 90 barrier for QB rating (90.5).
It was my belief at the time that Romo has started his slow-decline that a lot of QB hit in their early to mid 30s.
In hindsight they asked him to do too much. Romo isn't the guy you want throwing the ball 40+ times a game -- he averaged 40.5 attempts that season. Frankly, you really don't wany ANY QB throwing it that much a game.
Lot's of truth there.
It's probably no coincidence that 2012 was the very rock bottom of our o-line issues as well.
Even then...as bad as it was compared to his usual years....he was nearly led the league in passing yards with 4900 and had far more TDs than ints.
It was sheer volume that led to so many ints...he and Brees were tied for league lead with 19.
His "bad" year really was not that bad at all relative to most QBs.
Examples
Romo "bad" year: 4900 yards, 28 TDs, 19 ints, (so +9 TD:int) 65% comp , 90.5 rating.
E Manning bad year: 3800 yards, 18 TDs, 27 ints (so - 9 TD:int) 57% comp, 69.2 rating.
He's never really had a "bad" year and has never come close to throwing more picks than TDs.
His worst rating was 90.5
Brady, Roethlisberger, Rivers and almost everyone else not named Payton or Aaron have had seasons worse than that.
lol...Guys like Flacco and Eli would consider that one of their best seasons ever.
