Tony Romo Has a 104.5 Passer Rating in Losses This Season

[dupree89]

One thing that I have noticed on this board. There are a lot of people posting various favorable Romo stats for whatever reason. I say for whatever reason as I'm not sure if some of the people are trying to convince themselves, convince others or if they have another reason like maybe they feel the QB of the Cowboys is being slighted.

I believe I am pretty much right in the middle about Romo. I dont think he is as good as some here try to make him out to be, but I also dont think he is as expendable as some others think.

I just dont think any stat is going to change anyone's mind about Romo. I tend to think everyone has made up their mind. Some think he is elite, others think he needs to go and then some others are kind of in the middle- but I dont think any stat will sway anyone's opinion....unless you count multiple playoff wins and a Super Bowl ring as stats.

So, the defense did it's job this past game, huh?

no one has done their jobs...starting with the HC.
Ref my post in another thread....we keep treating Romo as if he's an elite QB. We hang him out there to win us or lose us the game nearly every week. And where are we at for the third season in a row? .500 and probably going to miss the playoffs. JG doesn't know how to manage a game and he doesn't realize he needs to put the reigns on Romo sometimes. Parcells knew this immediately.
Could we win with Romo and go deep into the playoffs, maybe even steal a SB? Sure, but not without a complete re-do of the coaching staff. Tons of teams have won big with average QBs. Eli has two rings and he's about as average as they come. However, he has a HC that's vastly superior to ours.
We keep putting the game completely in Romo's hands...and we'll keep getting the same .500 results.
Manage the game better, run the ball more, and play better defense...we don't have 100 stories every week about how Romo has choked in the clutch again.

Hmmm....wonder why the team was losing in the first place? I guess the team is great and it must be all Romo's fault.

Believe it or not, not everything is black and white.

Make no mistake my man -- you are still a ten precenter to anyone who really understands what's wrong with this team. And less than that in a group who has played or coached and understands Romo's ability.

Don't try to all of a sudden to assume most people are jumping Romo's ship. If we win out you guys will be crying in your beer over him.

lol.. there is another one.. they are few and far between these days. Y'all stay strong... you hear me?

This is total horse crap. Parcells didn't quit because of Romo. He quit because he got his money after his divorce, couldn't handle the time dedicated and pressure to coaching anymore, and could now live out the rest of his life retired and well.

So how long and you and Parcels exchanged emails, gone out for a beer, been neighbors? Surely there is some link since you are assigning facts as if you have first hand knowledge.

As if you have a personal relationship with Parcells to initially claim your horse crap, and to use this reason in an attempt to contend with my assertion.

It's true but they cherry picked the data to make it look as bad as possible.

These are the passer ratings for all QBs with more then 100 attempts in those situations in that time. There are only 5.

Matthew Stafford: 85.9
Tom Brady: 70.6
Matt Ryan: 66.1
Phillip Rivers: 65.2
Tony Romo: 60.6

In general they are all pretty terrible other then Stafford. I would certainly prefer less INTs but in general you want to avoid the situation in the first place.

There was a similar thread on this earlier by Percy that had to do with a fox graphic they showed earlier without context. Since his career began this is his rank in passer rating with a given amount of time left in the 4th quarter with the score within 7 points. This is among QBs with at least 2/3 as many attempts as Romo has.

1 minute: (2/15)
2 minutes: (4/29)
3 minutes: (8/29)
4 minutes: (10/31)
5 minutes: (13/33)
6 minutes: (11/35)
7 minutes: (4/33)
8 minutes: (5/33)
9 minutes: (2/33)
10 minutes: (1/34)

There is really no reason to pick within five minutes instead of say within two minutes. Indeed it could be argued that within two minutes there is greater pressure because the QB has little chance of getting the ball back, whereas within five minutes there is still a chance the defense forces a stop.

One thing I find interesting is that within two minutes when the game is close passer ratings take a huge nosedive. The highest passer rating of all QBs with at least 100 attempts within 2 minutes is 76.2. The average passer rating is 61.0.

This lends some credence to the theory that we have become too one dimensional offensively. When the opponent knows you are going to pass it makes interceptions much more likely.

It's not theory, dude. It's a fact that the game has become one-dimensional. Late in the game and behind, defenses know you're going to pass. The element of surprise is no longer there, and the defense can "pin their ears back " and rush the passer. More pressure means increased likelihood of mistakes.

I would bet that I'd you went back the best QBs (100 attempts or not), you wouldn't find a single one with a decent QBR under those circumstances. As your research showed, the best rating under those circumstances was average at best..

 

[iceberg]

well he may not be the only problem but he's singlehandedly given away more games than about any qb still starting.
its become so routine we have come to expect it, tell me you don't...?
I love the guy as a player, he's usually fun to watch, he's a great and classy guy and I've always wanted him to win but i've given up on him getting us anywhere.
He's become a 50/50 guy as far as when games get to clutch time, although this year he's dipping under that.
sorry to annoy you so terribly with our realizations that Romo chokes at least half the time, maybe more.

1/2 the time.

Prove it. Back that stupid train up and give the #'s

Shouldn't you be breaking out the Champagne?
