How long would the media be talking about how hard Romo choked in a big late season game?

This week will be an excellent example of the media's selective enforcement of the clutch issue.

No doubt. Although Rodgers having the best stretch in the history of football gives him some cushion.

Romo has a history of late season choking, hence it's brought up whenever it inevitably happens.

Rodgers does not.

Even an Aggie should be able to understand this. What's the deal?

Romo gets unnecessary criticism; the same criticism of Rodgers would be even more unnecessary.

Surprisingly, Rodgers is statistically inferior to Romo in the last five minutes of one score games.

Aaron Rodgers is having an all time great year and has won a super bowl.

Romo's career rating in the last five minutes of one score games is 101.8 (the highest ever in such scenarios). Rodgers' is 92.5, with a worse completion percentage and TD to INT ratio. Romo also has more game winning drives.

Compring Romo to Rodgers makes you look stupid. Maybe just stop.

Romo has performed better for his career in close games at the end than Rodgers, that is a statistical fact. That isnt saying Romo is as good as Rodgers, it means that Rodgers is at least as deserving of the choke label when he does things like this.

Romo does choke in big late season games. Rodgers has won a Super Bowl and it's usually the Packers' defense that causes them games.

Rodgers 17 of 42 for 185 yards, 0 TD and 2 picks. That's Geno Smith-esque.

I blame Olivia Munn for this performance.

Rodgers has more career game ending turnovers than Romo (judged as a TO which resulted in their team not getting the ball back or which resulted in the eventual winning score by the opposition).

This just got really awkward.

Is this a melt because the cowboys will miss the playoffs again?

Rodgers also has more playoff wins and appearances, a Super Bowl victory and an NFL MVP award.
