This should come as no surprise. This is the era of spouting off without a shred of evidence to back up anything you say. It's not just forgiven, it's encouraged.

 

[Rockport]

You can't compare QBs ratings now and QBs in Jaws era,to may rule changes to help the passing game.

He sucked in those games. I watched them all. No where near as good as Romo is.

Over the past 15 seasons, 38 quarterbacks have attempted at least 80 passes while tied or trailing by one score (8 points) or less in the last five minutes of the fourth quarter. In those situations, like on Sunday, the quarterback needs to score, and throwing an interception could effectively "end" the chances of winning.

Here are the interception percentages for those 38 quarterbacks in those situations, from best to worst:

2.46 Rich Gannon (3 int, 122 att)
2.78 Donovan McNabb (4 int, 144 att)
3.48 Joey Harrington (4 int, 115 att)
3.49 Brian Griese (3 int, 86 att)
4.14 Mark Brunell (6 int, 145 att)
4.20 Matt Schaub (5 int, 119 att)
4.26 Tony Romo (6 int, 141 att)
4.44 David Garrard (4 int, 90 att)
4.46 Kerry Collins (7 int, 157 att)
4.86 Ben Roethlisberger (7 int, 144 att)
5.00 Matt Ryan (5 int, 100 att)
5.38 Byron Leftwich (5 int, 93 att)
5.45 Jason Campbell (6 int, 110 att)
5.49 Aaron Rodgers (5 int, 91 att)

Thanks Adam. You are awesome. That was exactly what I asked for earlier in the thread.

 

[ethiostar]

Interesting how this thread simply died after Adam posted his stats. LOL

 

[DallasCowboysRule!]

It's baffling how Romo can have these stats and have the reputation that he does. After looking at this plus the touchdown numbers that were posted earlier the true thing that should be being debated is is he the most clutch quarterback currently playing

 

[Ratmatt]

When it comes to romo, most national writers and former players just say anything and most of the time just make stuff up.

Rodney Harrison said Sunday he prepared for romo when he was in San Diego as a guy who would throw the game away.

Interesting since he was with sd from 94-02.

Studying eastern Illinois tape must be the reason the chargers were so bad when he was there.

And tony dingy just makes stuff up all the time, that guy s completely useless as an analyst and was a spare as a head coach.

I don't think he was a spare as a head coach.

Good article, but not too different to what some of the fine folks here have put together. Remember, you can't beat a Romo hater because they don't allow themselves to be reasoned with. That's why I think that this is still the Romo article we all need to read:

Very good even yours! The mix of the two are a perfect combo

Adam, do you have the TD numbers for those situations as well?
