Last week, a premier quarterback threw a devastating fourth-quarter interception that effectively sealed his team's fate in a back-and-forth game. This critical gaffe perpetuated what has become an increasingly disturbing trend of failures to "come through in the clutch," as critics like to deride. Despite gaudy statistics, he has a recent track record of playing his worst in big games, raising questions as to whether or not his team's so-called championship window remains open.
Clearly, Tom Brady is the NFL's biggest choke artist.
That last example is just one way real and armchair analysts alike can place selective focus on certain facts to create a skewed perception. Perhaps no player has had more damage done to his reputation in this manner than Tony Romo. Romo played the game of his life against the Broncos last Sunday before a single ill-timed mistake reignited accusations of "choking." As Grantland's Bill Barnwell put it, Romo did not have a perfect game, but rather the "perfect Tony Romo game."
