Romo's 3rd Down Targets (updated thru 10 games)

[Sportsbabe]

May be worth looking into. Romo's consistency is what sets him apart from most other QB, no matter how they got into the league. Barring a total collapse, he's on his way to another top 10 season in passer rating. It would be his 8th in a row. Only six players have ever done that -- Manning, Montana, Brady, Dawson, Fouts, and Young.

That looks like an elite group.

Beasley will probably have to work his way back into Tony's trust after his stupid fumble today.

He got popped didn't he? What is he, a buck 10?

That looks like an elite group.

Both because there are only six of them, and all six are in the HOF (or locks), yes. Eight straight top 10 seasons would be a rare accomplishment.

If you didn't consider a touchdown to be a first down, the DSR for both drives would be 75%, so that wouldn't make any sense at all.

I agree, it wouldn't make any sense at all.

Not to mention Beasley

Beasley is actually the least effective target. At least if you use QBR as your guide.
Largely because in 8 3rd down attempts he has accounted for 51 yards.

Even Dunbar has 52 yards on 6 targets.

Beasley is a great target on 3rd and 3.

but from the data above I'd be going
Dez, TWill, Witten, Escobar, RB
