The more research you do, the more you realize how spoiled we are to have this guy. He just put up 4 straight 90+ seasons. From 2006-09, only Romo and Peyton Manning managed to do that. He just became the first QB in the history of the game to start his career with four 90+ seasons.
Romo finished 8th in the NFL in passer rating this year, making it four years in a row that he has been in the Top 8. It may not sound like much, or get any media attention, but that is an outstanding accomplishment when you consider that it has nothing to do with the era he's playing in. He is only the third QB since the merger to rank in the Top 8 his first four seasons as a starter. The other two were first-ballot Hall of Famers.
In fact, if you take the size of the league into account, he's only the fifth player of all time to hit the Top 8 in each of his first four years. (Hall of Famer Bobby Layne was Top 8 his first eight seasons, but only finished higher than 5th once in a 12-team league, for example).
And as you look at my sig, remember that all four of the other QB's are Hall of Famers who played for Hall of Fame coaches.
