I will repeat my opinion one more time so that you understand. Romo has a history of turnovers in games against the better teams in the league (above .500 winning percentage). Some of these games have been the last games of the season in a win or go home situation. There is another thread where a poster lists ten games off the top of his head , but that is not all of them. Romo's winning percentage is horrible against teams that has winning records and he has made turnovers in many of those games . The turnovers have caused the team to lose these games. The two examples that I have used in previous post is the Lions game ( even Bobby Carpenter got an interception) and the Jets game that was played on a Sunday night. Romo turned the ball over twice late in the game and the interception by Revis sealed the win for the Jets. This is just a couple of examples. Are you wanting to deny they happened? If these two are not good enough, there is many more. I can't understand why the truth offends the Romo-lovers. The only group that wants to deny the problem exists is a small portion of the Cowboys' fanbase. When the media , other football fans, players,and even a good percentage of Cowboy fans point out that Romo has a history of late game screw-ups, they are labeled as haters , trolls, fans with no knowledge of the game, ignorant and even being biased. That name calling is coming from a small group of Cowboy fans that refuses to see what the rest of the world sees. I guess the entire world is wrong and this small group is the only knowledgeable football fans on the planet. I can at least respect the Romo lovers that admits Tony has this history of turnovers. It is dumb to deny that it has happened when the turnovers gets replayed on ESPN for an entire week after they happen. The defense is causing some loses, but the turnovers are caused by Romo. The defense doesn't throw interceptions. I have said that Romo is a good QB, but he has a couple big flaws in his game. I don't consider that statement as bashing, but I am a hater for saying it in many poster's eyes. I kinda like the label.

As far as I'm aware, no one's denied that Romo has a "history of turnovers" in the general sense of that phrase. Where we part ways is when you act like his history of turnovers is somehow worse than that of other QBs in the league. He has had some epic meltdowns. But his overall stats are elite. Stats look at an entire career, and you're cherry-picking a few games. So which one is going to be considered the rule, and which is considered the exception? An entire career, or a few games?

I know, it's hard for you to forget those times when you were clutching your binky crying into your pillow after we lost games to the Jets and Lions. But what about those games where he beat undefeated Peyton Manning and undefeated Drew Brees? Are they that easy to forget?

So yeah, when you focus on the meltdowns and ignore the triumphs, you're going to get the hater label... I don't see why that's any more unfair than labeling Romo a choker.

That's it I'm done with you. If there weren't mods on this board I would continue but I've been down this road before with other combative FANS and have learned my lesson to move on when it's clear they're not interested in having a civil discussion.

Awww, did her get her wittle feewings hurt?

Relax, dude...you still have your other 8 million fans that follow you on the internet. Don't let peplaw06 run you off...just leave on your own. Why are you afraid of the mods? Is it because you are getting frustrated with your ill-logical remarks and want to go off the deep end with nasty remarks about someone? smh

Percy wastes a lot of time on passer ratings. How relevant can a stat be that has Romo ranked ahead of Tom Brady Joe Montana, Roger Staubach and Troy Aikman?
Great question.

Staubach 3rd
Montana 3rd
Brady 5th
Aikman 6th
Romo 7th

That's their avg rank in passer rating over their 7 best seasons.

Wish the Zone had a section that was completely unmoderated where you could take off the gloves and open up your arsenal. :)

Wish I had as much free time as you. Have you ever thought about applying for a job where you get paid to tabulate all that? LOL

I have yet to meet a Romo critic who thinks Jerry Jones could GM his way out of a paper bag.

I feel fortunate that my position on Romo does not require a total suspension of logic. So somehow, Romo should single handedly (since wins and losses belong to the QB) negate the ineptitude of the GM that would not get hired by another team and should have been fired decades ago and go out there and Just Win Baby.

Either Romo is way better than they want to give him credit for since he should be winning Championships with a disaster for a GM or the GM is actually pretty darn good since they have reason to believe that Romo should be winning playoff games and championships with the talent and coaching he has been surrounded with.

It took maybe 3-4 minutes to look up those names at PFR.

I'm surprised it took you that long with as much experience as you have. You must drive your family nuts at the dinner table with all your passer rating stats. lol

This is just too funny. You dismiss all stats except for the brand new one put on this earth to apply ONLY to room.

Back to ignore for you, you silly boy.

Dude, you'd get embarrassed all over again.

Maybe the mods could start a section and give me, you and anyone else who would like to join in 10 minutes of uncensored chat and we'll see about that. :D

Are you a family member of his? Never seen a FAN defend another FAN with so much passion. Hopefully he doesn't tell you to jump. LOL - taken from KJJ's post pertaining to you! lmao

I didn't read but one of KJJ'S post and the response from pep is just what I described. I don't know KJJ other than reading his post occasionally . It was just plain to see what pep had on his agenda . I only know a couple of guys on this board and I don't know them well.

It's a simple task. You type a name and hit search. We had chicken with Italian seasoning. Dinner table conversation focused on an aluminum can somebody found in the back of a cabinet, labeled "potted meat food product." Its origin is a mystery. Kids wanted to open it, but I put an end to that talk.
