Romo=Favre v.2.0?

[theogt]

Honestly, I think he looked more like Jake Plummer than anything. But thats just me

Have you actually watched Jake Plummer? They look nothing alike.

Yes, if we are lucky he WONT be like the soon to be NFL INT king.

Favre has thrown 260 INTs so far in his career (not counting the playoffs). George Blanda holds the all-time INT record with 277. The difference is that Favre has also thrown 406 TDs compared with Blanda's 236.

Interestingly enough, Blanda held both the single season TD and INT records for many years (still holds the INT record with 42). Even stranger was that they were in consecutive years. He threw 36 TDs in 1961 then 42 INTs in 1962.

Favre might not catch Blanda if he continues to play like he has so far and retires after the season. He only has 5 INTs this year and is on pace to have his fewest ever in his career with 11 if he keeps the same pace (he has thrown 13, his lowest total, in 3 different seasons). His highest season was last year with 29. He needs 17 more over the rest of this season (9 games) to catch Blanda. Not that he couldn't do it but he is playing pretty well so far.

If he continues to play after this season then there is no doubt that he will hold the career records for both INTs and TDs.

All that just to say that I hope Romo is better at avoiding INTs than Favre.
