You claimed Romo has a double chin if he does let's see the proof. You're entitled to your opinion but if you're going to provide an opinion at least provide some evidence to give it some weight...pardon the pun.
You claim I have a weak argument but I've made some very solid points throughout this entire thread and all you keep doing is dancing around them saying you don't have to prove anything. If you want to come off as being credible at least attempt to strengthen your arguments.
You're the only one that I've seen that's claimed he has a double chin and is "significantly" heavier. Some like myself don't see any difference in his weight from this time last year or in previous offseasons. No one is saying he hasn't put on a few pounds but he puts on a few every year like a lot of players during the offseason. There's a difference between putting on a little weight and a significant amount of weight. A "significant" amount of weight on Romo is not going to go unnoticed by the media they would report it.
He looked as athletic in and outside the pocket as he always has in my opinion. He still made a number of Houdini like escapes behind a crap OL that gives him very little protection. No QB is going to look as comfortable behind that OL. Romo had no running game to lean on which is why he had to attempt 126 more passes last season than he did in 2011. Having no running game and having to put the ball up a career high 648 times allowed the defense to pin their ears back and come after him.
As for his 19 int's his number of passing attempts played a part along with the lack of protection he received. Romo is always going to throw a number of picks he's prone to them he always has been and always will be. If he had a running game and didn't have to put the ball up 600-plus times behind an inadequate OL that would reduce his int's making him more comfortable in the pocket. There's 20 other starting QB's in the league that wouldn't have near the success he does behind that OL.
As for Romo's passer rating going down again it goes back to having to put the ball up a career high 648 times behind a bad OL. He still completed almost 66% of his passes and threw for a career high 4903 yards with 28 TD's which was his 3rd best TD total of his career. Not many QB's in the league would be capable of putting up those kind of numbers behind his OL and having no running game.
Roger Staubach had one of his best seasons statistically in 1979 at 37 years old. He had career bests in passing yards and TD's. No QB is going to progress physically as they enter their mid 30's but what they lose physically they gain mentally from years of experience. Romo's issues aren't physical they're mental. His ill-timed turnovers aren't a result of something he lacks physically. A QB can have all the physical talent in the world and flop because some don't have what it takes between the ears to handle big game pressure. Poor decision making under pressure has foiled many a physically talented QB. The mental game is critical to the success of any QB.
