watch that game again and then tell me Romo is a choker
He was literally the ONE Cowboy to show up...played a fantastic game...had one of the great plays in recent postseason memory ROBBED from him when, on 3rd and 14, he escaped the rabid pressure of 4 defenders...showed off his great elusiveness...and hit a crossing Patrick Crayton in the numbers that would have been an 80 yard TD with 1 minute left in the 3rd quarter to go up 24-14 and be a potential game ending dagger (which would have rewritten history)...
but Crayton dropped it. And then ran the wrong route on another pivotal late drive...
He played his ass off and played a great game against a defense SO GOOD they shut down that year's Patriots in the Super Bowl...
but he's a choker because his teams are consistently mediocre
a QB can only do so much...Romo puts up the numbers and makes the plays every year...he'd be a top 5 QB if not for the boneheaded plays that he DOES make...
but being a top 8-12 QB in a league with so much QB talent (and there is a lot, considering Joe Flacco is probably #15) is pretty valuable...and something I'd love the Chiefs to have some day.
You can win a Super Bowl, even multiple Super Bowls, with a QB that is the 8th best in the league.

You've really got something about quarterbacks that swallow their own cocks with the playoff game on the line, huh?
