"Romo works his magic again"
What the fuck are you talking about Aikman? The guy has been choking on a bag of dicks his entire career.
And put on some chapstick you fucking mook
1) That Romo narrative is about 4 years old. His TD:Int ratio is currently 43-9 since 2011 when it matters most (December and January).
Also, there's these stats that were published in May 2014; i.e., before Romo had his potential MVP caliber season and before his heroics on Sunday evening:
- Since 2000, exactly 50 quarterbacks have thrown at least 200 attempts in the fourth quarter when their team was either tied or trailing by at most 10 points. Of these quarterbacks – which includes the aforementioned Brady, Rodgers, Brees and Manning – Tony Romo has the highest completion percentage (64.70%).
- Among this same group given these same circumstances, Tony Romo ranks fifth in interception rate (interceptions per attempt), ahead of each of the “elite” passers mentioned previously.
- Even if you want to look at a more meaningful statistic like yards per attempt, the story is the same, if not better. Among the 50 quarterbacks in the “down 0 to 10 points” group, Romo ranks second in yards per attempt. And get this – when his team is up by 0-10 points in the fourth quarter, no passer in the NFL since 2000 has a higher yards per attempt average.
- ”But he’s bad in the final minutes of the game,” a Romo doubter says. Well, that’s not really true either. In the final five minutes of a game plus overtime since 2000, 48 different signal-callers have thrown at least 200 attempts. No quarterback has a higher completion percentage in the NFL since 2000 than Tony Romo. Only Aaron Rodgers and Trent Green have a higher yards per attempt average. And while his interception rate is lower, it’s still almost in the top-quarter percentile within this group of passers, and is better than the rates from Matt Ryan, Ben Roethlisberger, Philip Rivers, Drew Brees and Brett Favre.
2) I'd take Tony Romo over any of the three most overrated QBs in the league (in order of sucktitude): Matt Ryan, Andy Dalton, Matt Stafford.
