Twice as many game ending INTs since 2006

[Dodger]

I don't need to read the article. and you know why I don't? Because it's from bspn. I don't care if they write an article that loves or hates on Romo. The journalism they do is geared more for the casual fan and cannot grasp the real issues behind what's going on with teams. I neither hate Romo nor do I love the guy. What the hater's fail to grasp is that sure, let's get a new QB. Ok, so some of the games that Tony would have lost, the new guy wins but guess what? Some of the games that the new guy loses, Tony probably would've won.

So here's what you and bspn are failing to see about this "costly interception" stat. It's misleading. It's misleading because it's not taking into account how many times we throw the ball compared to running it. The more you throw it, the more your chance increases for turnovers. Are there times when Tony needs to be reigned in? Of course there is but who's gonna do that? JG? JJ? No. and there, my friend is the problem with this team.

That is exactly the problem, at least in terms of the QB position.

He led 26-3 yesterday.

Yep and as everyone here has said. Keep scoring since the defense cant stop offenses. So they do it and mistakes are made. Go figure.

Cant win for losing.

My bad. My mistake again. 9-7. Still missed the playoffs. With a serviceable defense (8th in total yards) and Romo playing 16 games.

Servicable defense? 22.8 PPG ranking them 20th?

You're on a message board. I didn't know you needed an amiscus brief on the subject with footnotes in order to understand the point, but the difference is pretty clear. This is the type of delusional ignorance that keeps people blind to realities about our team.

No, actually I bet I could probably break down Romo issues better than you. I am more real than you know. I just don't go about it hating all over a mb.

Yawn, already been debunked as a BSPN stat. No context, and inaccurate as well.

exactly. In the final minutes of the game within 1 score or tied, tony has 8 INT's since entering the league. I believe Sheli leads the stat with around 16. Flacco has more than tony along with several other QB's as well.

If a QB throws 2 or 3 interceptions in the first half giving the opponent a big lead that his team can't overcome then those mistakes it would still be perceived as not as bad as Romo's.

I watched the Patriots game yesterday. He threw an INT in the end zone on a desperation play in the final seconds of the game when they needed to score. Sure, it was an INT but he did lead his team downfield with 1 minute to play.

Romo likes to throw ill advised picks at the beginning of the drive on his side of the field when it wasn't even necessary to make the throw.

Wrong, more spin,agenda driven and a found stat to bash Romo along with a "he likes to throw picks at the beginning of drives." Nice.

That was NOT a desperation throw by Brady he executed the play called wasn't running for his life he threw into double coverage. Nothing easy about the play he had to throw it in the end zone but not desperate. I happen to remember a much more desperate play by Romo against the Giants that he gets killed for.

In the four division games we've won the defense has given up an average of only 17 points a game and Romo didn't have to carry the team and throw the ball all over the place. Funny how that works.

The ten precenters are so easy I'm embarrassed to sometimes point this stuff out.

The point of this statistic is INTs with the lead or the game tied. Romo leads all QBs by almost double. Brady's throw was "desperate" because he needed to score. When you need to get a TD, it's always desperate. If you don't, you lose. When you don't need to, it's not desperate. If you have the lead, you don't need to make desperation throws with a high INT percentage that could give the other team the game. Romo has done that more than any other QB. Just because Brady wasn't under pressure, running for his life, side-armed, don't mean the throw wasn't desperate. He was on the 15 yard line and had one pass to get the ball in the end zone. The entire defense was protecting the end zone. That's a very low percentage throw but necessary to win the ballgame since you're losing. I don't see what's so hard to understand.

He doesn't lead by almost double. Adam explained this earlier.

ESPN only counted the number the number of INTs that came in losses. Brady has thrown 8 picks in similar situations. Romo has 9 total which is the highest but only by a margin of 1.

Romo has also thrown 21 TDs to put the game away in such situations. That's 7 more then any other QB.

Edit: it's actually 8 more. He's also thrown for 500 more yards then any other QB and has a ypa of 10.1 which is the highest by almost a yard.

Romo is a choker but the defense has kept us out of the playoffs last year and possibly this year.
