Hes not a good QB
Average at best. Sadly, his stans are going to learn the hard way.
5-9 in his last 14 games
63%
4248 yds
22Tds
9 int
94 rating
1-6 vs teams that made the 2019 playoffs
In those games, here are his stats:
63%
2154
8tds
8ints
84 rating
Those numbers sadly include all the stat-padding at the end of the Packers and Bills games
Yea Romo didnt have a stellar record against winning teams (teams that made the playoffs that season), but he played significantly better than Dak did in those games
Romo’s last 8-8 season (2013) vs playoff teams:
64%
1853 yds
12 TDs
5 ints
96.33 rating
1-5 record
So its evident Romo actually played well in these games but was let down by a historic woat defense (worst in Cowboys history) and bad coaching.
This was also with a rookie TFred, No Zack Martin and No Zeke
Romo also gave the team leads late in games only to have the defense give the game up. in 09 alone it happened vs NY twice! and San Diego. Drove the team into field goal range in 11 after austin missed the ball in the lights on the previous drive and baileys kick was blocked. 2010 it happened vs the Titans ( he was sacked 6 times in the first half) and still had a great day.... at minnesota had the lead late and the defense gave it up.. They were up double digits on the giants driving when he had his collarbone broken vs NY (thanks gronkowski)
2011 at new england. Dallas has the lead and they let brady go down the field and score as time runs out to beat Dallas. Dallas was playing with two guys on the line who would soon be out of the league and their third string running back and they were winning with under 1 minute to go at fox borough where no one won at the time.
2012 Romo leads them down the field and Dez cant make the catch in the end zone at Baltimore. week 16 vs the saints the defense gives up the game late to Brees, Romo goes back down and on 4th down hits austin for a TD to go to OT. Dallas gets stopped on third down and the saints drive 72 yards to kick a field goal and win.
2013 at kansas city that second to last drive Just missed the throw to dez...got the ball back got stopped kicked a field goal and lost.
2011 they give up a kick return then get a punt blocked in the end zone accounting for 14 points at arizona.
people always like to forget these types of things because they are obsessed with hating Romo a guy who retired 4 years ago to prop up you know who..
Also the fact that this type of stat is foolish. There are a whole bunch of teams from 06 -15 that Romo beat that finished 8-8 or 7-9 and would have had winning records had they not lost to Dallas. Romo played without a running game for the majority of 11 and 12 while they rebuilt the offensive line.
anyway. I try never to get into this topic but I couldn't help myself. The guy is hated by so many and even those who pretended to like him late in his career just like to tear him down to prop up the other guy. The other guy has been treated like a hero since day one and has played with almost no scrutiny comparatively and has never been through a rebuild or lacked a running game.
