Ok forget clutch........ There are at least 10 qb's I would take over Romo... Say what you want. All ten of my qbs would have the Cowboys IN the playoffs already.......

Now this is something we can argue

Just seems every time Romo loses a playoff game or doesn't make the playoffs people defend him with excuses. Defense, injuries, coaching, weather, Jerrah, etc.

It's actually a lot of fun to watch

What's his passer rating the first 3 quarters all time compared to others in the league? I can be arbitrary too.

There is a thing some athletes possess that is intangible and it's obvious with a lot of the great ones, even ones that didn't win it all. Archie had it, but was stuck in a shitty org. Stats and wins only tell half of the story.

Romo is a stat padding good QB, but will never be elite and will never win it all. No one could rightfully say he sucks, but saying he isn't ever going to be great is completely valid and I think accurate.

Also, it's not like Romo is throwing to scrubs. He's surrounded in incredible offensive talent.
