The guy is a statistics accumulator but a real loser when it counts most.
And that's why he is a horrible QB. Not sure where the obsession comes from.
Romo is probably the most under-acheiving QB in the NFL. He's been surrounded by tremendeous talent for years and he's done nothing with it except run up numbers.
I really think it is the Dallas factor. Sure, Romo has made some stupid decisions in clutch moments but every year, without fail, ESPN and the other talking heads all scream from the mountain tops how talented Dallas is. It could be... that Dallas players are overhyped at many positions because of the media coverage they get as "America's Team".
That isn't to say they don't have some great players, but I think collectively they aren't the juggernaut on paper that the media anoints them to be each year. No team this year in the NFC East was a huge step above another in the talent department.
I've been a Cowboys fan since the 60's and Romo makes it very hard to argue against anything said here. I knew, with all the losses on defense and the patchwork replacements, that Dallas was going to give up points. If they were going to win Romo would have to be on time and on target and he was neither of these. Once again, he played poorly when it mattered most. Dallas was out-played and out-coached. They deserved to lose. I really hope it gets fixed because I'm not getting any younger.
I actually felt bad for Romo
