[Colo]

Positives
• Graded well on 4-to-6-yard drop-backs (+4.5) and 7-to-8-yard drop-backs (+7.2).

Negatives
• Struggled on drop-backs of 9+ yards at -1.1.

Tendencies
• Dropped back 9+ yards 31.0% of the time, well above the league average of 24.6%.

Seems like a play calling issue. Hopefully Linehan will fix this kind of stuff.

Anything PFF says I take with a LARGE grain of salt.

Agreed, but hard to argue with crunched numbers.

He is one of the best passers when using play action yet he has fewest play action attempts for starting QBs past few years. . I say it's definitely play calling.

And before you say "..you have to run well for play action to work", that's not true.

 

[JPostSam]

the pressure stat is huge. fix the o-line, you fix tony.

They need to rank the negatives like they did the positives, so that way we can get a kind of an idea on how bad it actually is.

No its not and its especially not hard to argue against subjective categorization like they are known for. The numbers represents something. That does not mean it is always something meaningful and they do not check to make sure it is meaningful.

You do have to get the defenders in the middle of the field to bite or it doesn't work.

Well, the fact that they use play action so rarely could make it more likely for the defense to bite on it when they do. I agree that they should be using it more, but their success per play would probably drop back toward the pack a bit.

A team sport boiled down to one player's results.

Accuracy and objectivity need not fill out an application for employment.

Can't blame the O-Line last year. He had good pass protection all year long.

I'm curious on the '9+ yard stat.' I tend to think that has to be 9 yards past the LOS. I don't recall Tony under center and dropping back that much very often. Usually it was shotgun and him backing further away from the line.

I think the premise is simple. The further he dropped back likely meant that they were trying to throw the ball further downfield and the defense was likely tipped off that it was a pass because he was in shotgun.

It could be because he does a shallow drop, and pulls the ball down and retreats further, often he waits for the drags to open.

His stats throwing the ball beyond 9 yds down the field are not the greatest, and on third down and long he's horrific.

Because teams will blitz, teams know what the deal is Romo. Name 1 top 5 defense this team has beaten within the past several years?

 

[noshame]

3rd and 8-10 yds:
Tony 38% comp. rate
Brady 56% comp. rate
Stafford 50% comp rate.
Mind you Tony had good protection and some of the best big men in the game to throw to.

No he didn't, but keep on cherry picking stats to fit your boring, predictable agenda.

Awwww the truth hurts doesn't it? SMH

Over the last 3 seasons, the Cowboys are 2-4 against top-5 defenses (measured either by points or yards).

(Edited because I missed one).

Not at all, the truth is usually funny... but not as funny as you cherry picking when one can easily just change the context to third and 10+ and see that suddenly your hero Brady is worse than Romo. It's telling what a fake fan troll will gravitate towards to first though when trying to push their redundant agenda.

With Parcells and Sprano, they used it more and he was still effective.
