Tony Romo

Are you “Romosexual” enough to consider Tony Romo for MVP?  

Kurt Warner, Drew Brees, Eli Manning, Michael Turner, Adrian Peterson and Kerry Collins- all names mentioned as potential MVP’s this season.  But Tony has stats that might spell out an MVP for the Luigi from Mario Brothers look alike.  Check them out below, compliments of CHFF.   

ONE – Romo leads the NFL in passer rating (103.2), ahead of Phillip Rivers (100.3). Romo also led the NFC in passer rating in 2007 (97.4). 

TWO – Romo’s manly 8.5 yards per attempt here in 2008 is the highest mark in the NFL. Romo also led the league in YPA in 2006 (8.6 YPA) and was second (8.1) to Tom Brady (8.3) in 2007. 

THREE – For what it’s worth, Romo also leads the league in touchdown percentage with 21 in 300 attempts (7.0 percent). And it’s not like he’s throwing short touchdowns at the expense of the offense running the ball, as the team does have 10 rushing touchdowns and he averages 27.4 yards per touchdown toss. Romo throws it downfield like the gunslingers of long ago, or at least like his hero Favre has been alleged to do – except that Romo has just 8 interceptions so far this season (Favre leads the league with 14).

Juice:  Without Romo, the Cowboys blow big goats this season.  But is he as good as Drew Brees and Kurt Warner?  Does Tony’s girlfriend, Chestica, use a can opener to open a can of soda?  Think about it.
