The Myth of Tony Romo
Posted on 10/9/13 at 12:25 pm

So Steve Beuerlein tweets that. Tony Romo is the QB with the most ints to end games he has ever seen. Then Bob Strum tweets this beauty ,
@SportsSturm: Beuerlein on Romo: "He has thrown more ints to end games than any QB that I’ve ever seen.">>Or 50th most since 1991 LINK
Romo also has the highest TD percentage on the list, the highest completion percentage on the list, the highest yards per attempt on the list and (of course) the highest passer rating on the list -- BY FAR.
Romo's fourth-quarter TD percentage = 6.5%. Next best on that list = Philip Rivers, 6.0%.
Romo's fourth-quarter completion percentage = 64.2. Next best on that list = Kurt Warner, 63.7.
Romo's fourth-quarter YPA = 8.48. Next best on that list = Kurt Warner, 7.81.
Romo's fourth-quarter passer rating = 102.0. Next best on that list = Tom Brady, 92.0.
The only elite quarterback I noticed being missing from the list is Aaron Rodgers. He would beat Romo's fourth-quarter TD percentage (Rodgers is at 6.8%), but he also has a HIGHER interception percentage (2.7%), a worse completion percentage (63.1), a worse YPA (7.8) and a worse passer rating (98.8)
Also, Thomas Brady and Russell Wilson both threw game ending ints Sunday. Yet most people didn't even pay it any attention. The media definitely didn't

Those numbers are great, but Romo is anti-clutch. If there was a rating system for QBs clutch-ness, Romo would have a 10.7.

so beuerlein makes a comment about most INTs to end games and some dude does a bunch of data analysis on the 4th quarter??
I'm not following.

Sorry those 4th quarter stats can be misleading. A lot of those yards, Tds, completions, ints, etc. can be done in garbage time.

So why is nearly everybody's perception of Romo that he chokes in the clutch? I'm not disagreeing with your point or the stats you cite - Im genuinely curious.
ETA: bbap makes a good point: 4th quarter isn't exactly the same as "last few minutes of 4th quarter in a close game or deficit situation."

Romo is a bad arse. Always been unfairly maligned.
And I'm an Eagles fan.

How about he compile a list of times a QB throws an interception in the 4th quarter when the game is within.. say... 10 points.

Do they have a category for games lost due to dropping a field goal snap?

Aaron Brooks sighting

If Romo played for the Titans or Lions nobody would give a shite. BUT he has a star on his helmet and thus must either be the GOAT or a world class failboat.
Romo seems to be missing something, some killer instinct or the like, but the cowboys problems start on the Oline and end in the back 7. Theyve got precious little to do with the QB

I don't like Romo or the Cowboys but that's a clever comeback 
Posted on 10/9/13 at 12:52 pm to Finkle is Einhorn
You wanna throw out how awesome all of his 4th quarter stats are, but yet why is he still notorious for choking late in big games?
Just maybe it has a lot to do with his teams losing throughout the game, and him leading a great comeback in the 4th quarter constantly...only to screw it up somehow.

Ok. He threw an int that ended the game.
Does he not get any credit for being the reason they were even in the game in the first place?
How many punts did the defense cause? ZERO.
What about Garrett deciding to go for 2 and missing it vs taking the xpt?
They would have had a one pt lead and romo might not force that throw.
He giveth, and he taketh away.

Romo's stats were horrible Sunday. He had 0 of something really important.
