Bursting on the NFL Scene
Talk about bursting on the scene in the NFL. Tony Romo of the Dallas Cowboys has done that.
In 21 career starts he has thrown already 50 TDs and only 24 Ints.
He did play a half in his first real action last season in a Monday Night loss vs the NY Giants where Drew Bledsoe threw his last NFL pass in his career.
So far in his 21 starts he hascompiled a 16-5 lifetime record (not including the playoffs).
His 2007 his numbers are even more mind boggling, he has thrown a Dallas Cowboys franchise record 33 TD passes against only 14 interceptions and 3352 Yards.
He has taken very well to Jason Garrett's offense also completing 66% of his passes on 252 of 382 and has a QB rating of 107.1.
If it not for Tom Brady having a historic season, Romo would be one of the favorites for winning the leagues MVP.
Some people will counter that Romo has great talent on his offense and I do
agree, including Terrell Owens, 71 catches 1249 yards and 12 tds,
Jason Witten 65 for 817 yards and 6 tds and a very well balanced running
attack with Marion Barber 162 rushes for 796 yards, 7 Td and Julius Jones with 133 rushes for 521 yards and 2 TD.
Romo has shown he can come back from adversity very much so.
Who can forget him dropping the snap on a potential game winning FG vs Seattle in the playoffs last year and to me a possible chance at getting to a Super Bowl.
He also shook off a 5 int performace vs Buffalo on a Monday Night to lead Dallas to 9 pts in the last 2 minutes of the game to an eventual wild 24-22 victory.
Dallas has scored 24 points or more in every game and 27 or more in all games except 2.
I feel that this team has the offense to hang with any team in the NFL. Earlier thisyear they did lose to New England 48-27 but had a brief lead in 3rd Qtr.
Their defense has played better in recent weeks and with the addition of Tank Johnson to their defensive line, LB DeMacus Ware (10 sacks)
and DE Greg Ellis (10 sacks) have a very good front 7 to pressure any QB it plays against.
This unit also does the most important thing it has to to make the opponents predictable, they stop the run by only giving up 85.6 yards per game.
All in all Dallas, led by Tony Romo is clearly the class of the NFC and hopefully
can take this to the Super Bowl as they have the best chance
of making whomever the NFC plays in the Super Bowl a run for their money
because if it is not Dallas, I see another of a long list of boring Super Bowls
possibly being played out in early February 2008 this season.
