It was the New York Giants. Let me know when he has a comeback win against a team like New England.

Good thing I didn't say any of that, so I have no idea what you're trying to point out here.

I'm always amazed at how people just completely ignore statistics when regurgitating nonsense about Romo. He's a very good quarterback and some folks just choose to ignore reality and make up their own facts about him.

How bout a comeback win against the defending Super Bowl champions? At their stadium? That they hadn't lost a game in almost 2 seasons?

He's a very hateable person. I can smell his douchebaggery through the television screen.

That, and he plays for the Cowboys is why people hate him.

He's a good QB who won't ever win anything special. He just has that vibe about him. Good OL, Dez Bryant, Demarco Murray, Jason Witten, and an offensive HC definitely help him out these days as well.

That Romo 4th quarter stat reminds me of the Les Miles 4th quarter stat. Infuriating as an LSU fan to realize we are always down in the 4th quarter.


ETA:

I don't think he is great. I think he is a good QB. I think a lot of other good and better QBs would have those same 4th quarter stats if they were in the same position on that team with an abysmal defense and a solid offense around him.

Romo has 27. Manning has 26.

So apparently all good quarterbacks have to make comebacks sometimes.

What's hate able about him? He's an american sports success story. From unknown and undrafted to quarterback of the Dallas cowboys. Maybe the best Qb they have ever had besides Staubach.

Just because he dated carrie underwood and Jessica Simpson doesn't make him a douche. When have you ever seen the guy be anything but humble? Maybe the problem is with yourself

If anybody did the slightest of research they would find out what an awesome human being Antonio Romo is. Dude gives back and does all kinds of things for folks in need

He's been giving playoff births to the other three teams in the NFC East for years. They are grateful.

He's been nothing short of amazing this season. This season he has a Qb rating of 115.2 and 8.83 YPA...and 71% completion. That would be #2, #1, and #1 in the league respectively I think.

And the dude is a warrior and may be the toughest player in the NFL. Don't believe me? Name another guy playing right now at a top 2 level at his position with a broken back

I've seen you say all of this before and I just feel like you couldn't be more wrong. Dude came from nowhere to QB a team always in the national spotlight, good or bad. He's always handled that gracefully and with a lot of class and humility. It's not hard to search for all the things he's done for not only the Dallas community, but often communities of rival cities. For God sake, he once stopped and helped a random woman change her tire after his way home from a game. He's a throwback gunslinger who plays through major injuries. It almost feels like you hate him for weird reasons. Like did a guy that looks like Tony Romo steal a chick from you at one time in your life?

He's like the anti-douche in a world of entitled diva millionaires that happens to be good at sports.

ETA: Peyton Manning by a lot of counts is a complete douche, but he holds this American sweetheart perception. It's not hard to google several scandles with his name on them. Pretty much the only thing you'll find on Romo is that he looks goofy with his hat turned around backwards.

Holy fricking shite! Do you not understand professional football? Every win is huge and they all count. A comeback victory in this league is not easy to do no matter who it's against. I'm sure a lot of Saints fans would be kissing a certain quarterbacks dick if he were able to dominate sub 500 teams this year.

What I just responded to has nothing to do with comeback wins.

Maybe you're the one who doesn't understand. Hard to concentrate with romos dick in your mouth huh?

What's the point of that picture you posted? Is it that you hate him because of how he dresses?

My response to you wasn't just about comeback wins either. You're trying to act like all of our wins are cheap or something. I'm just reiterating that you still have to find a way to beat a lot of sub-500 teams to make your way to the playoffs. There's no such thing as an easy win in the NFL.

And you're right. I'm a raging Romosexual. But most people with common sense and any sort of football IQ should at least be able to admit that he's more than just a "good" Quarterback. And He's always made Dallas at least 4-5 wins better than they should have been most of the last 6 years or so. The fact that we even had a chance to make the playoffs during some of these 8-8 seasons were a miracle.
