Romo closing in on Rodgers (QB rating)

[65fastback2plus2]

Exactly. Rogers, Manning and maybe Brady. That's it this season.

peyton has looked like eli jumped in his uniform the last 4ish games....dont know why hes in this conversation honestly.

By the way nice audible to Dez on that last TD. Tony can't read a defense though...

loved the thumbs up....same signal fighter jet pilots give before they tear something up

Rodgers' terrible game today drops his QB rating to 111.2... Romo's rating rose to 110.4. A strong finish in these last 2 games by Tony and another mediocre game from Rodgers could be the difference.

Yep, that's still 2nd best in the NFL, folks. Like it's been for much of the season. I can't imagine Romo getting MVP consideration no matter what happens from here on out since Murray and the OL have been such a big story all year.

Still, this puts into perspective just how much of a monster Romo's been this year. Those who still think he sucks or isn't "clutch" probably need a new hobby that isn't so confounding to them.

What I'm really curious about: let's say Romo and the 'Boys finally do it and get that Lombardi. Either this year or in the next few years. What will the haters do? Pretend they've been Romo fans who have enjoyed the journey all along?

Part of me feels sorry for these poor saps... they're witnessing an all-time GREAT under center for their favorite team, and they won't even realize it until it's too late (if at all).

I mean... you people realize the guy's a LOCK for the Hall of Fame if you add a Super Bowl ring to his already incredible resume, right?

Well said.

What? He's currently the 6th (in the probowl) in fan voting.

Well then he's a lock .

I said he was going to be this years Matt Shaub

Lol @ me

Confession is good for the soul.

 

[DFWJC]

Sure is. Which makes the absurd amounts of criticism he's received over the course of his career even more stupid. Good point!

Thank you

No, they'll do exactly what they've done to Peyton. "Yeah, but he's only won one Super Bowl. If we was truly elite and less of a choker, he'd have won at least two."

I think the QB ratings/rankings are great and all, but it doesn't matter when it comes to Tony Romo. He MUST win a Super Bowl to get his due. Few - except Cowboys fans - will really care if he's ranked slightly below or better than Aaron Rodgers.
Jason Garrett and his team have got to get him a Super Bowl. I think Romo is mature enough to do what it takes to get there (And despite what some fans say about him throwing down field or trying to squeeze the ball into tight windows or to receivers who aren't running the correct routes, I see Romo trying to limit the mistakes that had people criticizing him unmercifully. Hence, maturity). I don't know whether the coaching or the defense can get him there. But we'll see.
