One of my recent pieces on Bleacher Report:
The way the national media picks and chooses who to ”pull for” and “pull against” sometimes amazes me because rarely is it based on logic, fact or reason.
Any time I hear the less-informed knock Tony Romo, I think of the saying, “If you repeat a lie enough. it becomes the truth.”
There are a few different categories in football when it comes to quarterbacks. The first level is composed of the guys with rings: Tom Brady, Eli and Peyton Manning, Aaron Rodgers, Drew Brees and Ben Roethlisberger.
After that group, there is a group led by Tony Romo and Phillip Rivers who have had long enough careers that show they are franchise quarterbacks, but for whatever reason have not had playoff success.
The debate should be about who is the best QB not to have won a Super Bowl, Romo or Rivers—nota claim that “the reason the Cowboys lose is always because of Romo.”
Compare Romo’s career numbers to any of the rest of the guys who don’t have rings, and he stands tall against them all.
The national media loves to say Michael Vick is clearly better than Romo.
Really?
Look at their numbers including games missed due to injury. If Romo is a bust because of his playoff record is 1-3, then why does Vick get a pass for being 2-3? If playoff records really matter, then why hasn’t someone signed Donovan McNabb, as he sports a 9-7 record? (I’m not here to knock Mike Vick because I feel he’s a dynamic QB in his own right.)
The other thing that always comes up with Romo is his playoff failures.
Yeah, that’s a great one. I love, again, how facts and memories are different with their games.
