Glanvilles Grits 142 Posted July 25, 2013 Much like housemd, I pretty much never defend Tony Romo. To have Jay Cutler and Matt Schaubb ahead of him though just doesn't seem right to me. Romo gets a lot of crap because he has pretty much failed to make any push into the playoffs and during the playoffs. Also because people feel like he chokes games away. However if you take him away from the Cowboys, and they probably don't compete like they had been for a while. Much more if you take away what the Cowboys did in the past and put him with any other team that hasn't got much history, I believe the perception of him drastically changes. Man, I can't believe I just actually stood up for Romo. I still think he's somewhat of a choker. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MartinC 6 Posted July 26, 2013 I'm a big believer in the passer rating when evaluating quarterbacks, mainly because passer rating differential has over a 90% correlation to wins. In other words, whichever team's quarterback has a higher passer rating during the game, that team wins about 90% of the time. What better way to evaluate quarterbacks then by using a statistic that translates highly to wins? Passer rating does correlate to wins but IMO its not a good way (ironically) of rating QBs. Its a good way of rating a teams passing offense with a given QB under centre. QB is the single most important position in football but even a QB needs a supporting cast around him and a good system to be successful. Take identical QBs and put one in a situation where he has great pass protection, excellent receivers and a QB friendly system and the other in a situation with poor pass protection, scrubs at receiver and a system which is demanding on the QB and these two identical QBs will have very different passer ratings. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
