Last night was one of another million examples that everyone will forget the next time he throws a big pick. People will point, and laugh, and engage in errant group think about how much of a "choker" he is, despite the fact that facts make that assertion look ridiculous.
Click the link below. Then under the section "304 quarterbacks" click show all for a list of every qbs numbers since 1998 when the score is within 7 points in the 4th quarter. There is literally not a soul he takes a backseat to. I know his team is light on playoff success, but people need to stop making themselves look stupid with the choker crap

I get you're trying to point out that Romo is underrated, but just going by the standards that Eli is held to by Giants fans... Romo's 3 playoff seasons with only a 1-3 record is a tough sell, no matter what the statistics say.
Dan Marino was a better pure thrower than anyone that's played since him, and possibly the best passer ever, and he will forever be remembered for never winning a title, fair or not.
Right now the same applies to Romo. Unless things change he is going to be marked forever by the fumbled snap and the crucial interceptions. That's just the way it is...driving the field to beat a dogshit Giants team isn't gonna erase that.

Ironically, "Mr. Stat" hates the one sport where a players impact can be easily broken down and accurately judged by stats...
Nah. He's does this quite often, especially on Romo and how hockey ratings stink
Joe, my point isn't as much about stats as it is results.
I mean, despite Romo's seemingly outstanding QB performance over the years, where are the results?
3 playoff seasons and a 1-3 record, one and done in two of them, wouldn't exactly endear him to our fanbase if he was our QB, would it?

But those who consistently dismiss them outright are the lowest form of sports fans. And they love their stats too, dont get it twisted. theyre just simpler stats to understand, like ring count. Because there is a high correlation between those who shit on numbers and those who are just ring counting cavemen. You rarely need to use more than 1 hand, its easy

Well, shit, all I hear from the Eli Defense Society is how none of the Giants' horrific results are ever his fault because the defense and OL sucks. Romo's played most of his career with terrible OLs and defenses. Does that count for anything?

I just think it's a weird dynamic that we have a thread on a Giants forum praising Tony Romo for being clutch while we have countless threads that want to trade or cut our guy.
Very strange dynamic.
If Matt Dodge kicks the ball outta bounds... He didn't, the Giants choked, the Packers win the WC instead and win the Super Bowl. The "what if" can be interesting to examine but is completely irrelevant when writing history.
But yeah, you can use this to fuel your Eli agenda, Greg.
If he had Eli's feet he'd be dead or out of the league by now.
some of you....
some of you....
The one thing that I would tie Eli, Romo, and Rivers is that they are all very tough QBs. Romo has missed some games but that was a broken clavicle and a broken back. Eli And Rivers have never missed a start. Thats pretty impressive in today;s game.
some of you....
No, see... You're missing my point. My ONLY reason to bring Eli into this, is to illustrate the expectations we put on our QB.
And so I'm asking... Would Romo's 3 playoff seasons and 1-3 record be enough to appease you, as a fan?
Yeah. Witten, too.
Go back to the first quarter. The Cowboys' first two possessions in that game resulted in a punt and a safety.
You make it sound as though Romo was lights-out all night. He was very, very good on several drives, but it was partly his fault that a teetering Giant team, with a completely demoralized defense, hung around long enough for that fourth-quarter overthrow to matter.
some of you....
No. It's the fact that every time Eli throws a pass, or has a loose stool, there is 100 threads analyzing it. Shit- There are multiple threads wanting him traded. It seems that very few people actually value him. This is a 2x Super Bowl champ, and BTW- Is the best player on the team, and people shit all over him.
Romo hasn't won shit, and up pops a thread stroking him. I think Romo is a very good QB, but you need to win the big game.
It's that simple.
The 1 career playoff win is a huge black mark though, Joe... and disregarding it is an equally bad offense when compared to those who disregard his brilliant statistics in close 4th quarter games.
As of now, it's primarily what keeps him out of Hall of Fame discussions he'd normally be in, and rightfully so.
So Eli is 2nd best. Is that accurate?
The giants don't have cheerleaders. lol
Are you satisfied with the fact that Romo is clutch if he's your QB and that's your team with only three playoff apperances in 8 years, two one and dones?
Does Romo get a pass from you?
Somebody is a closet Romo / Cowboy fan.
That ball was right on the button as far as I'm concerned! :-)
I'd take Eli over Romo everytime. But Romo has talent.
Beat me to it.
