Now that Tony Romo has passed the 1500-attempts mark his stats are "official" and he is "officially" the 3rd highest rated QB in NFL history!
Only Steve Young (96.8) and Peyton Manning (95.4) have higher career passer ratings than Romo's 94.7. A couple more good games like the last 2 and he could move past Manning again (he was ahead of him early last year).
Romo also set a Cowboys' record yesterday with his 19th 300+-yard passing game. In only his 45th start, he has 19 300-yard games!
Man am I ever glad he is our QB!
:starspin
I think he breaks his own record with every 300 yard game for a bit now. If I recall correctly Aikman held the record and it was something like 13-15, if I remember right. Romo had broken the record already. He just continues to break it every time he had another one cause it's his own record.
Also that is excellent perspective on his QB rating. I know there are those who throw that particular stat away cause it doesn't fit their "Romo is complete garbage" claim. But that's life.

and continues to do it, now, w/o TO
:starspin
Can't be. TO was the only reason Romo was even an average QB. At least that's what a few people kept trying to tell me.

The only problem with your assement is that Peyton is still playing. He's putting up amazing numbers. Also QB rating is such a garbage stat.
LOL! Of course it is. Cause it doesn't fit your Romo sucks campaign. So you'll just throw out any, and all, factors that don't support your claim. This isn't surprising, at all.

Sorry, but not a garbage stat. It awards TD's, YPA and completion percentage while taking away for INt's .
How is that garbage?
Cause it doesn't fit his "Romo sucks and/or is garbage" claims. He's one of those folks that throws out all evidence that doesn't support his stance and claims they're not important.

What I like is that any game Romo wins isn't a "big game". Any game we lose was the biggest game in franchise history, and more proof Romo can't win the big one.
ZOMG. WE LOST AN OUT OF CONFERENCE GAME TO TEH BRONCOS IN SEPTEMBERZ !! ROMO CANT WINZ TEH BIG ONEZ !!!ONEELEVENTY!111
Of course. That's been going on since 2007. You'll hear people say "This is a big game. An important game." going into a contest but the moment Romo plays well, and we win, it becomes an average game.
The Romo haters only count them as big games when we lose. They also only point out any mistakes he makes in the games they deem to be 'big games' and completely forget the work he does to put us in position to win those games.
It's been going on since 2007 and it won't end till he wins a Superbowl. That's the way people do things when they need to fit things to their agendas.
Just look back a bit. 2007 we had two big games late in the season. Greenbay and Carolina. Greenbay game was HUGE cause it was for the conference best record at the time. Romo played AWESOME and we won. Suddenly it was just another game.
A week later, maybe it was 2 weeks later I can't recall for sure now, we play Carolina. We win and we lock up homefield for the playoffs. HUGE game, IMO. We lose TO early in the game and yet Romo still plays us to a win (Well Romo and everyone else). Again it's not a big game. Cause we won, of course.
Then we get in the playoffs. Obviously a huge game. Even bigger cause we lost and most of these guys who hate on Romo tried to blame it entirely on Romo. Completely forgetting the fact that if Fasano doesn't drop a TD pass that hit him right in the chest we win. But, hey, they'll gladly point out how Romo miss fired on the next play to Owens.
They'll conviently forget about the Crayton dropped pass on third down, or the fact that he stopped on a sure fire game winning TD with 14 seconds left, but they'll quickly point out that he was sacked a couple times in the fourth quarter or that he threw a pick on the last play.
Then you can fast forward to the Ravens game last year. He threw a couple horrible picks in the first half. They sucked. They were stupid throws. I agree with them there. But they didn't cost us the game. They didn't even come close to costing us the game. But thats what they'll point to. Those two plays in the first half. yet they'll close their eyes and pretend that he didn't lead us down the field for two 4th quarter TD's that gave us a shot, both times, to be able to win the game on our next possession if our defense just does it's job and stops someone. Instead they give up back to back 70+ yard TD runs.
But, yeah, Romos fault. And it was a big game so double Romos fault.
It's not surprising though. Those folks listen to ESPN and the 'experts' who will do the same thing.
