Some amazing Tony Romo numbers

It truly is impressive

what Romo has brought to this team. To fully appreciate how important he is to this team all you have to look at is the three game stretch when he was out. He’s put up insane numbers for a guy that came out of virtually nowhere. Once he translates his success in the post season he’ll be regarded as one of the best QBs ever.

Romo has 6 300 yard games and 6 games with 3 TD. By the way the record is 10 300 yard games in a season. If he didn’t get hurt I think he breaks that record.

Great stats.

If you could also take out his first “real” game, when he played the second half against the Giants and threw a few interceptions, I bet his stats would look even gaudier!

Romo’s a stud. He saved this franchise from the depths of mediocrity. I hope he soon adds some title hardware to his already impressive career.

He is so different from Lienart

Lienart has the ability to be an NFL QB. He was a passing QB in college, who also happened to have some damn good RB on his team.

Tebow will soon realize the hybrid QB thing doesn’t work in the NFL. You have to pass first, second, third, and then run if the first 3 break down.

I think Romo is the best QB in the league....and if it weren't for his occasional "ill advised" throws, he'd set records in passing ratings..

It’s not a matter of perfection, it’s a matter of pulling in the reigns at times…..I’m not here criticizing him…..I’m pointing out a flaw…..one bad play…..he made at least 22 great plays…..we won….all is good……..but it’s that one bad play that just may have cost us games in Washington and Arizona….he has been playing better of late, and seems to have gone back to his vintage Romo play with fire and enthusiastic improv….I look for him to get better down the stretch….and 4-0 is more than just a dream…just eliminate the senseless throws and we’re in business……
A perfect throw to TO still would have been picked off on that one play…he was simply covered underneath and over the top….I won’t be able to reveiw the play….I’m sure others have the capability…..but i assure you, there was either a running lane, or an open receiver on that play that should have gotten the ball…You don’t just chuck it up for grabs….Our offense went into a serious funk after that play…sure, it was only Seattle…but at the time, they were still driving the ball, and if it weren’t for a few miscues of their own, it could’ve made for a tighter game…….Pittsburgh can be beat….we are the better team….and we have the better QB…..

Look I get your point

But you watch his entire game and then want to talk about one pick. I did replay the throw and considered Aikman’s take which was the TO had hesitated because he saw the safety shift his way. And if Owens had not hesitated (which was understandable) there would have been no pick because the ball went over the short man and Owens was positioned to be in between them. Whether he should have thrown it or not even a film review won’t tell us because no one knows what was called. or how much time Romo thought he had.

Every QB, from O’Sullivan to P Manning, Brees and Brady throw picks. Romo is going to throw them too. But there’s a reason he has one of the best ratings in football (which penalizes for picks). Because although he throws some picks, he also makes plays in bunches. That’s what his coaches and GM want him to do.

Dead on BzRB. Our ability to win out and have playoff success depends directly on Romo eliminating those crazy and irresponsible plays. This Sunday should be very telling. The Steelers greatest strength – causing havoc with the qb leading to turnovers……is our greatest weakness – Romo’s propensity for not taking care of the football and making poor decisions.

Based on his spectacular play since returning, it sure seems Romo is heading in the right direction. I don’t buy the argument that he can’t change and that Dallas must accept the bad with the good. I think Romo has started a stretch here where he is going to tone down his game and take measured risks…..that is the ticket to the Super Bowl for Dallas.

Geeze

Crazy and irresponsible? Is it possible Jennifer Floyd blogs here under “Cowboy Louie”? No wait, she likes Romo. Must be Tim MacMahon.

Romo turns the ball over a bit (and only a bit) more than the very best in the game. Of 31 QBs, only eight have fewer picks than Romo. Of the top four rated QBs, Romo has the fewest picks. Only Pennington has fewer in the top five, and we know that he’s a short pass thrower. Try some more comparisons – P Manning (12), E Manning (8), Brees (14), Rivers (10), Warner (11), Cutler (13). In short, you have no evidence for your “crazy and irresponsible” statement.

Considering the kinds of throws he is making (and the offensive scheme he plays in) it’s to be expected. It’s not that he can’t change or refuses to. It’s that his play (his personal style and the offense he’s in) is higher risk. Sure, you can make him into Jason Campbell – no picks coupled with few yards and minimal TDs (4 picks, 10 TDs).

I know, I know, Romo’s are different, they are untimely and irresponsible. He has more talent around him. You prefer the eyeball test to real evidence. Heard that all before.

A detailed breakdown please......

Of all of Brees’ 14 interceptions and why you think none of them were poor decisions or bad throws. I can recall at least one game this year where Brees’ INT’s were the deciding factor in the game. The Saints definitely could’ve beaten the Falcons were it not for Brees’ INT’s in the red zone in the 4th quarter of that game.

I guess you haven’t watched much Peyton Manning this year either because he’s had quite a few bad overthrows deep down the field that resulted in picks himself.

It makes it very hard for opposing defenses to control because Tony can run for good yardage or can find an open receiver down the field for a big play. The only thing I did not like was him “forcing” the deep ball to T.O. when he was double covered for the interception.

And I don't think it is an "either or" proposition

Here is what Jerry Jones said about Romo working on pocket presence:

"Tony had a goal this year and Jason Garrett had a goal. They were going to take his natural instincts and skills and they were going to work more towards the things you were going to see when you are [an instinctive player]," Owner Jones said. "You can see a lot of that come into play. His footwork and his ability to move around in the pocket and protect that ball. He is doing that within himself, I think. I’m real impressed with all of that."

He is still trying to combine instinct with smart movement and ball security. These past games he looks like it’s all working for him and it might be what he meant when he said he saw some things during the injury time off.

Sure it's nice to be really good in the pocket

But why try to teach something that is not his strength? And even if you do work on it that much, why do they NEVER have him out of the pocket now?

I can understand pocket presence and standing tall in the pocket. But his strength so far seems to be on the move, rolling out. They really need to work at least 3-5 pass plays a game with him moving out like that.

Like Favre said about him a month ago

Romo is truly an eilte player in this league, top 5 in the league, not just qbs, but at any position.

Another stat that is truly remakable is that he has thrown for 300 yards or more in 45% of his carrer starts.

When its all said and done, he’ll be considered one of the best qbs of all time, maybe the greatest of all time. His best has yet to come.

One of my fav

facial expressions is when he mouths the word “six” when the cop tells him how many of his friends the joker had killed. I have seen this movie at least 5 times and I am just amazed how ledger was able to transform into charater, not once did I see heath, I only saw the joker. I felt that he showed the joker as how I envisioned the charater would be.

Current stats

For the season overall stats, he is at…

QB rating: 103.2 (#2, behind Rivers at 103.3)
TDs/game: 2.1 (#1)
Yds/game: 284.3 (#3 behind Warner and Brees)
40+ plays: 10 (#2 behind Brees with 15)
Avg: 8.5 (#2 behind Rivers at 8.6)
Sacked: 8 (#3 behind Cutler and Collins with 7)
TD to INT ratio: 21/8 or 2.63 (#3 behind Cambell & Orton, who have only 10 and 11 TDs respectively)

That last stat is very good considering that earlier in the season we were concerned about Romo’s ball security with his red zone interceptions.

by scottmaui on Nov 29, 2008 7:45 PM CST reply actions 0 recs

Well my worries were the fumbles on top of the red zone INT's

But so far so good since he’s been back.

yeah me too, and those don’t show up on the stat sheets

but sfsg

Most of the fumbles didn't bother me

because they came from the OTs being beaten his being hit from the blindside. The ones that bothered me came when he was in the traffic already and should have secured the ball. I realize that his “lack of ball security” is really his desire to keep the pass alive becase once you tuck the ball away you can’t really do much besises run or go down, but he has to impeove on when to give up on making a play and take what he can from there.

I've stopped stressing about his bad plays, there few and far between...

besides his positives blow away his negatives…and i wouldn’t compare him to favre i think he’s more like elway without the finger breaking bullets…with favre i feel like he’s going to do something stupid and lose the game, but elway i always felt if he had a chance they were going to win….that’s how i feel about romo, no matter how bad he plays if he gets a chance to win it in the end he’ll make it happen….

agreed

You can’t try to be perfect as QB.. You have to trust your teammates.. There are going to be times when your guy just isn’t open..

I don’t think we throw anymore deep balls to TO in double coverage, he just isn’t a WR who will go up in double coverage and come down with the ball..

He can out run them, but not out jump them..

That is the point

and Romo said that himself – that he was trying too hard for perfection and it caused the opposite.

gotta love this story

t was a pre-Thanksgiving feast fit for a king and his queen. … or, at least, for a quarterback and his songstress. … oh, and for their admirers.

How did Tony Romo and Jessica Simpson fuel themselves for Thursday’s 34-9 win over the visiting Seahawks? By dining at Champps in Las Colinas, the sports bar located just south of Valley Ranch, just west of Texas Stadium and just a few out-patterns north of Romo’s new pad.

The ensuing game was eventful – I’ll get to that in a moment – but first allow me to get my TMZ on, OK?

So Tony and Jess are sipping beer and nibbling on wings, right? And then Romo leaves to go to the bathroom, you know, and when he exits the bathroom and re-enters the main dining area, guess what?

The big crowd of restaurant patrons gives him a standing ovation! Awwww!

"Tony was very cool, as you’d expect, and Jessica was much more shy than you’d expect,’’ a Champs server tells us. "They sat by the fireplace and they had two bodyguards kind of hanging around; they didn’t want photos taken. But otherwise, they handled all the attention very well.’’

There was one maybe creep-out moment, though. As the celeb couple left the restaurant, a couple of diners scrambled over to the wait staff, asking if they could take possession of Romessica’s half-guzzled beer and chewed-on wings.

"I want to taste greatness!’’ said the Cowboys fan, who in fact would’ve just been tasting Tony Romo’s backwash.
