Last season Tony Romo finished second in the league in throws over 20 yards. He was second in both passing percentage and QB rating when he threw the ball over 20 yards.
This season he is at it again. Romo has a 114.6 passer rating on his deep throws this year and his deep ball percentage is around 600 percent higher than throws that have traveled fewer than 20 yards in the air. This is not a misprint.
Tony is great at passing 1-9 yards, not good at passing 10-19 yards and the best(this season)at throws of 20 plus yards. The article I got this from said it was just a bit of bad luck. Most of Tony's drops have been in the 10-19 yardage range. He has suffered either a drop or a wrong route on 18 passes this season. That leads the NFL.
Knowing that Garrett has to know these stats, you have to ask yourself why is Garrett calling few deep passes. The throw to Miles Austin on Sunday was a thing of beauty and we should be seeing more of these type of throws.
Playing it safe on offense has cost this team in terms of touchdowns. He has one of the best deep ball receiver, Miles Austin, in the league and one of the best QB's at throwing the deep ball and yet he continues to dink and dunk. I know the problem may be sacks but we still need to see more attack on offense. Time for Garrett to pull his head out of his ass and throw the ball deep.
