Tony Romo is Spoiling us and Still Making Progress (Amazing Career Stats)...

[Hot_Toddy]

We all know how awesome Romo is - But did we realize just how awesome (from a stats perspective that is).

I found and put together the stats from www.pro-football-reference.com

Note that Romo is also the leader amongst Career QBs (not just active QBs in many of these categories).

I'll just wait until Romo has the 1,500 attempts to add those in as well. But for now.....

Romo INT Percentage has been getting better every year:

2006: 3.9
2007: 3.7
2008: 2.6

Romo's TD Percentage is getting better every year:

2006: 5.6
2007: 6.9
2008: 7.0 <---recalculation after this game (was 6.8 before)

Sack percentage going down every year as well:

2006: 5.9%
2007: 4.4%
2008: 2.9%

Romo updated Season Stats:

103.1 Rating
8.53 Yards per Attempt
7.0% TD percentage
2.6% INT percentage

Romo's Career Stats among all active QBs:

---I'd also like to note that Romo's near 65% career completion percentage combined with his Yards Per Attempts and Completions is just completely out of this world!!--

Romo is on pace for a YPA that would be 2nd all time behind only Otto Graham.

Being without Romo quickly reminds you of how great of a player he really is. He is playing great.

 

[TonyS]

I'm still looking for the SB MVP stat that he needs to add real quick!

 

[Mimico]

Yea I want Romo for MVP not Kurt Warner! Although Warner has really stepped up this season, I think Romo's more exciting.

 

[THUMPER]

One more stat to throw in there is that we are 7-2 this season with Romo at the helm and 26-9 with him as the starter!

[Bob Sacamano]

:worthy: Romo :worthy:

 

[JerryFan]

It's just flat out fun to watch the guy play QB. Somehow someway he's gonna get you and as a fan of his team it's fun and calming. The guy is simply amazing in what he does inside the pocket to by extra time to get the ball out.

Thank you Tony!

 

[zrinkill]

The guy wears his hat backwards ..... he is obviously a thug moron.

 

[theebs]

when you watch him in person he jumps out at you.

He is terrific.

You wouldnt think guys at this level would be head and shoulders above other players, but romo is. He simply has tools other players do not have.

 

[bootyhunta]

Here are his ridiculous stats for the 3 Thanksgiving Day games:

Attempts: 91
Completions: 65
Completion %: 71.4%
Yards: 832
TD: 10
INT: 2
QB Rating: 127.17

 

[theogt]

He simply has tools other players do not have.

Such as levitation.

 

[theebs]

Such as levitation.

[DIAF]

Quick, now someone post his career stats for the month of December.
