I don't get it.
Look at any quarterback's stats from the last two years and Tony Romo is equal to or better than just about every quarterback.
Take any statistic you want to take and Tony Romo is at or near the top in just about all of them.
Touchdowns? Yup, Tony is near the top.
Yards? Yup. Completions? Yes. Yards per completion? Yes again. Quarterback rating? You betcha.
And what about wins? Yup, Romo is right near the top there too. Even after missing three games this season.
So why is it that so many so-called experts still think Romo is just an average quarterback. So many media jerks think it's a given that Romo will fail against the Steelers' defense. Their reason? Well, because Matt Cassell and Philip Rivers failed against them.
Hmmmm, Cassell has played like 3 good games in his career and Rivers has yet to be half the quarterback that most people think he is.
It's ridiculous.
But what really got me mad is the guys on PTI today. I like Wilbon and Kornheiser, I really do. But in their daily segment, over-under, they threw out the number 50 and asked if Romo would be over or under 50.
50? Are you kidding me? If Romo is under 50 then that would be HUGE news? Why? Well, because in 37 starts, Romo has only had a rating below 50 four times. And one of those times was against the Redskins when Dallas rested some of their players and Romo only saw limited time in the game.
So that actually makes just 3 times in 36 games in which Romo started and played most of the game.
Plus, this year Romo's QB rating is over 103. Doesn't Romo get bonus points for that?
At least both Wilbon and Kornheiser picked above 50. But Wilbon said Romo would be at 60 and Kornheiser said 80.
Well, that's a perfect example of disrespect. Especially since they used Cassell And Rivers as examples for why Romo would fail.
Luckily, this will be decided on the field in less than 48 hours.
I think we'll see Tony Romo show a lot of people that he is the best quarterback in the NFL right now.
