Fair point. That said, I've always been more into Kay Adams of Good Morning Football.

Him being fourth all time is a perfect example of why stats can not be used alone to measure any player in a team game.
Players he ranks ahead of:
Joe Montana (92.3)
Steve Young (96.8)
Peyton Manning (96.5)
Tom Brady (96.9)
Dan Marino (86.4)
Brett Favre (86.0)
Jim Kelly (84.4)
Troy Aikman (81.6)
Romo is not better then any of those above QBs in any universe. If you look at the QBR stat it is formulated in such a way to benefit modern area QBs as Hall of Fame guys from the 80's and 90's are made to look like nobodies.
According to the QBR stat, Marcus Mariota (89.6) is better than Andrew Luck (89.5).... just stop... that right there is enough to discredit that a stat can determine if the guy was good or not.
Romo was average to above average, if your the first overall pick and you are average or above average, that is not living up to the hype of the pick.
Romo was FAR above average. He was a top 5-8 QB all through his prime.
Just because he didn't go far in the playoffs doesn't mean he was "average".
I put that more on the dysfunction of that organization than on Romo.
Swap Romo and Brady, and I'd bet Romo has a fist full of rings and Brady wouldn't be "Tom friggin Brady".
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
