Romo is a good QB but to even mention him anywhere ahead of Manning,Montana,Warner and Brady seems strange and absurd to me,Gosselin finds out that some stats have him ranked above these HOF or future HOF QBs.

Not that I could care much less about idolizing QBs, but this stat is great. Read it, memorize it.

Gosselin is one of the Dallas Morning News staff writers in the Sports section - however, he is NOT a Cowboys homer, and is very objective in all of his NFL analysis. If anything, he seems to show a slight-bias toward our NFCE rivals Philadelphia Eagles(and with good reason - Andy Reid and Joe Banner have made this team one of the elite for years, despite not winning a SB).

If this were Tim Cowlishaw, then yes, it would be a much different story. Cowlishaw is a big Cowboys-homer.

Gosselin is normally one of the most reliable, level-headed footbal writers out there.

This, however, is an absurd piece of 'journalism'.

Its not clear to me exactly how he determines 'QB efficiency' - its just a bunch of hyperbole to keep the Cowboys fans happy in the offseason.

Bad gif I know

We also lost Flozell Adams this offseason(he eventually went to Pittsburgh, didn't he?) - this could be a HUGE loss for us next year. You saw the Vikings playoff game - when Adams went down with a calf injury, Jared Allen just schooled Doug Free(who will be next year's LT starter). Otherwise, we had receivers open all over the field.

If anything - Romo has had the luxury of a massive, albeit nasty offensive line with Adams, Kosier, Gurode, Davis, and Columbo, which has opened up gaping holes for Felix and Barber in addition.

Thought Gosselin was a better writer than this.. lots of what might happens in that article...

I don't know if I would put Romo among the elite of the currently active QBs. He isn't better than Manning, Brady, or Brees. I would take Rivers over him. Roethlisberger minus he off the field BS too. Flacco and Ryan may surpass him too.

I like Gosselin, but I think this article is joke and just pandering to his Cowboy fan base.

I'm assuming that when Gosselin says Romo "debuts in 2010 as the third most-efficient quarterback in history", he is referring to QB rating - though according to this list he is third among active quarterbacks, and 4th among all quarterbacks.

NFL Career Passer Rating Leaders | Pro-Football-Reference.com

As you can see from that list, it is extremely top heavy with quarterbacks who are playing today. Only two of the top 30 quarterbacks did not play in the '90's or later for apart of their careers, and 13 of the top 15 are still active today. That is due to the change in the way the game is played, which is due to rule changes over the years to pass interference penalties. So while Gosselin is technically correct in his statement about Romo based on that ranking, that doesn't make him the 4th best quarterback of all time. Though Gosselin does not make that statement, I could see where somebody could accuse him of implying that to be the case. Nowhere does Gosselin state that in his opinion Romo is better than Montana, Brees, Manning, Brady or others. However, he should have clarified what he meant when he said 'most efficient QB of all time'.

It seems to me the main point of the article is that it might be possible for Romo to break some NFL passing records this year because of the other players that Dallas has on offense, but given the history of the NFL's most prolific passing offenses, it is something Dallas may not want to see happen. I don't really disagree with either point.

Deus Irae

Very sloppy work by Gosselin. Perhaps it was his last piece on the way out the door for vacation.
