I'm gonna' have to disagree with you there. Doesn't that suggest that he dumped off two yard passes that the receiver or running back turned into huge gains? I think he was second or third in the league in interceptions and a lot of those were him trying to force throws deep. Truly, much like the Cowboys of the 90s, Romo and the RBs are playing behind a superior line. Call it what you want, but he has ALL day to sit back there. He's elusive yes, but I have never been like, "Wow, his throwing skills are amazing."
I always would see him have forever to throw or scramble and check down for a short throw that, in the stat books, looks like a huge completion. Sure, his elusiveness might suggest he's a great QB, but couldn't you say that about Vick and others?
