We can’t wait to see this one.

Tony Romo was loved or hated, not because he was a polarizing personality, but because he was seen as a playoff choke artist.  While Romo didn’t have a great playoff record (2-4), he leads the league in fourth-quarter and December quarterback rating.  Basically, we are saying that he had a lot of great performances when it counted!  

The three-time Player of the Year from the Ohio Valley Conference would finish in the top five in Quarterback Rating four times, Completion Percentage five times, and in 2014 would finish first in both.  Romo retired ranked third in Quarterback Rating, fifth in Completion Percentage, and with an impressive QB-INT record of 248-117.

While Romo has solid career numbers, they may not be enough, especially given the lack of a First Team All-Pro selection.
