I do think Romo is a good QB, but I can't say there isn't a bit of truth to the choker thing until he proves differently.

 

Tony Romo leads the NFL in 4th qtr comebacks since in 2006 (starting year), with 27, including 4 this year.

 

 

 Consecutive years either in the playoffs or right at the end of the year at a time like this weekend when the game is on the line and the Boys are counting on Romo to pull the thing out it always tends to end in some kind of turnover by him. 

 

That's the problem right there.

 

He's proven he can win ball games with a game winning drive. He's done it a lot. But it comes down to that situation far, far too often.

 

He can do one of two things - execute or fail. And when you are in the 4th with 50 seconds left down by five, the chances of failing skyrocket. 

 

For the record, over the past two years, Romo has one "choke" (if you choose to call it that; I do not) vs the Broncos (506 yards, 5 TDs, 1 INT) to go along with 8 4th qtr comebacks.

Let's go over some of those big games he has won in this year then shall we?

Big game #1. Game against the Saints, we had been totally embarrassed last season by them and had something to prove and we destroyed them. Big game #2 Seattle Seahawks @ Seattle. Only 1 team has beaten them at home in 3 years before us. We cooked the birds very good and shocked the entire NFL. Big game #3 Philly @ Philly. 38-27. Need I say more? How about showing me a complete choke by Romo so we can compare?

Giants game was as beautiful of a GWD you'll ever see.

Could very well be true, but most of the critics are laying their hats on the big games that are associated with advancing in the playoffs, or games that need to be won in order to make the playoffs. 

 

Peyton had a whole lot of come back games during the regular season himself, but most of his critics always hung their hats on his playoff debacles.  It's why the guy on First Take always calls Peyton "The Greatest Regular Season Quarterback Of All Time"

    • Cross finally got a couple starts and was playing fast 
    • I think we need someone to just make open field tackles, as simple as that sounds. I felt like our secondary was pretty poor at just simply getting guys to the ground.    There is way too much diving at peoples legs in the open field. And Budda might be the best open field tackler in all of football. The guy is a demon. He had like 150 tackles a few years back as a safety, which is incredible.    Budda is the closest thing to Bob Sanders I have seen since he retired. He doesnt lay the huge hits Bob did (to be fair Bob was juiced to the gills and a literal tank). But I mean, that heat seeking missle type of guy who just ends plays with picture perfect pursuit and tackling of the ball carrier.    I believe in tackling being the most overlooked skill in football. People dont seem to see the value in it, or know how to do it. but it is a lot of times what seperates really bad defenses from good defenses. I felt like we gave up like 1000 extra yards last year due to poor tackling.   I actually used to teach heads up tackling at football camps, so its a bit of a sore spot with me.  But I see a lot of horrible tackling around the league.    Also, Blackmon is our ballhawking free safety in this scenario. I know a lot of people see him as more of a SS, but not me. I dont think he is top tier at it, but he is solid at both spots, and solid is fine with me. 
    • I would love to see Latu wear 83 Ted Hendricks old number but Mallory has that.  He physically reminds me of Hendricks.  An ER wearing 15?  Doesn’t look right.  Lol
    • RB is fine, we have Hull and Sermon. Maybe I'm trusting unproven guys too much it's hard to fit a vet in because of our deep olines and dlines. We probably go 3 RBs so we can keep more dlinemen.   CB we mainly need a vet. We drafted 2 so we have 6 CBs. It's hard seeing a vet make the roster, but that's what camp is for I guess.   FS is the biggest need. I'm not sure what Simmons wants (maybe 10 million?). I think Diggs is our guy.
    • Cato was my first thought too. I think they hope he is an eventual replacement for Leonard in coverage at the LB spot. He will probably start off as a Dime LB.
