Since 2010, Romo’s Total QBR in the first 12 minutes of the fourth quarter/OT is 80. That’s second-best in the NFL behind Peyton Manning. However, his QBR drops to a below-average 44 in the game’s final three minutes.

Cowboys Record by month with Romo as starter:
-- September - November = 60-34
-- December - January = 15-21

-- Career Record final 3 weeks- 9-12 (9-15 including final 4 of 2008 and 5 of 2011).

Romo has only had 1 season as a starter where he had a winning record in the final 3 weeks of the season, which is crunch time. And every year, the Cowboys are above .500 with just 3 games to play, but they choke it away and typically miss the playoffs. They have missed the post season 3 years in a row now, made it once in the last 5 seasons (2009), and they had a winning record with just 3 games to play. And choked it away.

Dont really care how many game winning drives he has and all that. When its a meaningful game late in the season and its in the final few minutes, Romo chokes. Sure, he has good stats. But those stats are hollow. They are good looking stats. But they dont equal wins. Hes an above average QB though. And is capable of playing at an extremely high level for the first 55 minutes of the game. But in the final minutes of the game, he blows.
