how was that choking?
and the fumbled snap is A TERRIBLE example of choking.
Last week Romo played out of his mind good. Tom Brady threw a pick to end the game, too. When was the last time Tom "God" Brady did something where you said to yourself, "oh man, clutch."
Why does Tony Romo always get shit on when his team loses? News flash. If 25 other NFL QB's QB'd the Cowboys last Sunday their teams wouldn't have even been in position to "choke". Romo had the ability to almost win a shootout with a QB who is going to shatter every single single season record this year. He was flat out IMPRESSIVE on Sunday. He made so many plays other QB's JUST CAN'T MAKE.
The issue is...the Cowboys are "America's Team." So we remember the losses and forget the wins. The casual fan lacks objectivity.
Romo is a top 7 NFL QB. If Romo was the Chiefs QB, we'd be a very, very, very realistic Super Bowl contender.
As we sit with Alex Smith...I won't rule out a Super Bowl but QB's like Smith and Flacco need all the breaks in the world like Flacco got last year.
(Oh and Peyton "choked" last year. At least he put his team in the position to get Rahim Moore'd. More than "Mr. Clutch" Tom Brady can say about the following week when he shit down his leg time, and time, and time, and time again. Oh but Tom Terrific was NEVER called a choker. Double standard. It amuses me.)

This is what drives me crazy about this argument about QB's. People forget the SALARY CAP. Sure, Romo would have more production than Smith, but his cap figure would also mean A LOT of guys wouldn't be here, probably on defense. Who would you cut?
The reason I've always like Smith (the last few years anyway) is that he plays beyond his salary. Sure, he doesn't light it up like the elite QB's, but his team first style is winning football, and it isn't that expensive. As he gets better, will he command more salary? Yes, but he'll never be that guy that holds out for $20 million plus per year (eh hmm Flacco). He restructured his rookie deal in SF, and he'd take a "hometown deal" to keep the team intact.
But Smith haters, go ahead and proceed with your Madden-world of what ifs... |
Alex Smith did, does, and will always suck.
