I compiled these stats for each quarterback at www.pro-football-reference.com . These stats are each players' stats after 39 starts. Since Romo has 39 career starts, thats my comparison number of games. After looking at these numbers, we know Romo is more then capable of greatness. For the exception of Marino, Romo pretty much has stats that were actually better then the others. His future looks very bright.
Attempts Comp. Yds. Pct. TDs. INTs.
MARINO 1,370 839 11,103 61.2 95 42
ROMO 1,280 815 10,300 63.6 78 43
MONTANA 1,318 841 9,623 63.8 64 36
P. MANNING 1,355 818 10.024 60.0 67 50
FAVRE 1,341 833 8.113 62.1 52 45
S. YOUNG 1,072 672 8,412 62.6 51 35
AIKMAN 1,086 636 7,290 58.5 32 48
STAUBACH 912 528 7,395 57.8 49 42
BRADSHAW 969 469 6.098 48.4 36 63
Just looking at the stats, you see that some players got off to slow starts. Badshaw was a big game player like no other but his regular season numbers weren't great. His numbers picked up when Swann and Stallworth got drafted before the 74 season. Romo is 2nd in completion pct. He had more yards passing then everyone except Marino and is only 2nd to Marino in touchdown passes. Amazingly Romo had only 1 more INT then Marino did. He had 7 less INTs then Manning did. I believe all Jones has to do is put the players around Romo. Hey! look at the numbers guys! Romo will start winning the big games very soon. The future of the Cowboys could be very bright. Gotta love the numbers !!!!
