whoa, ripping Romo is wholly separate from Campbell, that's the point. We all know Campbell has this year to perform or go home. Everyone on this Earth that remotely follows football knows this fact.

What Cowpuke fans want to imply (to the point of saying he will be the MVP this year) is that Romo is an all-star forever and ever amen. Romo has had great numbers in Sep/Oct, with TO on his team (note both other qbs of TO had great numbers throughout the season and McNabb got to the SB with TO on his team). BUT Romo has been crud at protecting the ball, nor has he shown any improvement in this area. And he has played horrible in late season win or go home games. The media and cowpuke fans would have you believe he is incredible. But he is on the hotseat every bit as much as JC. I personally am hoping that by week 12 WP is on the way out, Garrett has Romo fever again, and Romo and Witten are drawing up plays in the locker room. Good luck to them going better than 9-7 (not really good luck, bad luck, mean evil awful luck, luck that finds Romo throwing a pick 6 every game and MB running the wrong way on the hand off, yeah that kinda luck!)

Man, are you ever WAAAAY off the mark here.

I cannot speak for all, but I for one do not think "that Romo is an all-star forever and ever amen."

All I am implying is that Romo has been in 2 playoff games, just 2. So he looses in those games, so what.

The point I am trying to make is when he lost these 2 playoff games he is tagged as "a choker". But when Peyton Manning lost his first 3 playoff games, he was the victim of a sub-par Colts defense.

When Brett Favre throws a "pick 6" in a playoff game to loose, he is not a "choker", it was an "unfortunate circumstance.

Not putting Romo in the same league as these 2 guys, but you see my point.

Not really. There was a lot of doubt about Peyton until they won a SB. Plus he was a consensus top-flight QB. Not just considred a good one. Romo isn't.

When Brett Favre throws a "pick 6" in a playoff game to loose, he is not a "choker", it was an "unfortunate circumstance.

He also has rings and has won many playoff games.

When all you've done is lost playoff games then people are going to call you a choker. Not that I totally agree but it isn't even worth arguing about because it wont go away until they win some playoff games. Plain and simple. When you consider the circumstances of those losses then it becomes even more obvious why he gets labeled a choker.

I was going to leave it alone but after at least 3 times it's LOSE not loose

Just a reminder, he would have been in 3 playoff games, if he hadn't choked in Philly last year.
His numbers in the game:
................yds avg td int
21/39........183 4.7 0 1

as a comparison these were Campbells from the week before against Philly.
18/33........144 4.4 0 0

and Romo's number in Sept. when the game was not a playoff atmosphere:
21/30........312 10.4 3 1


I am definitely not boasting of Campbell's ability or comparing him to Romo, just hammering home that for his ability, Romo chokes.

IF/When he overcomes that, I will re-evaluate my opinion.
I doubt it will be anytime soon.
