If Romo averages 4 TDs/game from here on out...

[Nav22]

He will finish with 49 TDs, tying Peyton Manning's record.

Tom Brady has 41 TDs, but the Pats appear to be falling off a bit. Brady has just 3 TDs total in his last 2 games, after averaging 3.8 per game in his first 10 games.

If Brady averages, say, 2 TDs per game from here on out, he would finish with 49 TDs as well.


Now, you might think Romo averaging 4 TDs in his last 4 games is impossible, but hear me out...

In his last 4 games, he has 4, 4, 2, and 4 TDs.

The 2 TD game was the Jets game... remember, he busted his pinkie early in the game and it affected his passing. Not to mention that game was a blowout and we didn't pass much in the 2nd half anyways. If Romo didn't hurt his pinkie and the game was a bit more competitive, he probably could've had 4 TDs.

And in the Green Bay game, he actually should have had 5 TDs, but T.O. bobbled one of them into an INT.



The 2 biggest issues that would make this very tough to achieve...

1) Brady will probably get it together and finish with 50+.

2) If we have home-field advantage wrapped up by week 17, Romo might only play a quarter or so, or might sit out altogether.



Thoughts? Is this even remotely possible, or am I just a crazy dreamer?

MAKE IT HAPPEN TONY!!! :starspin

You're reaching a bit don't you think? Brady will crush Manning's record and I doubt Romo will finish with 49 TDs...

I just can't see him throwing 16 TD passes next 4 games, but I won't put anything past him. Wishful thinking, but not impossible.

 

[percyhoward]

In his last 4 games, he has 4, 4, 2, and 4 TDs.

I don't think it would be such a stretch, especially considering Witten only has 1 TD in those last 4 games.

But if he gets himself into position to do it, we're probably 14-1, and like you said, he sits out that last game.

Maybe he's got a shot if the defense stinks it up.

 

[iceberg]

will romo and the starters play much in the last game if it's a "worthless" game?

 

[TheSkaven]

Even though he won't get Manning's TD record or catch Tom Brady, he has a chance to place in the top 5 all-time. Marino threw 48 TD's in 1984 and threw 44 TD's in 1986. I'd say Romo has a shot to throw 45 TD's, which would really be quite incredible.

 

[TheSkaven]

Incidentally, the NFL record for most 4 or more touchdown Passes in a single season is held by Dan Marino in 1984 and Peyton Manning in 2004 with 6. Romo has 4 right now, so if he did what you suggested, he'd break that one too.

 

[Hypnotoad]

The answer is simple, run up the score on the lions.

Break the Record before the patriots.

Then Shut everyone up.

 

[Undisputed]

In other words...we are still trying to come up with ways that Romo could possibly steal the MVP trophy from Brady in the last 4 games.
:laugh2:

 

[Bob Sacamano]

he should get 5 against the Lions, remember last year's Turkey Day?

DING DING DING we have a winner!

 

[utrunner07]

I dont think it will happen, really it would have to be about 6 in the next three games to get the record, IMO.

Tony is MVP in my book
