In his nearly-three year starting career, Romo has a career quarterback rating of 96.6 and has racked up the most 300-yard passing performances (16) in franchise history. Plus, he's 26-10 as a starter, and no matter how many times you turn over the ball, winning is all that matters. Still not convinced Romo's an elite NFL quarterback? Well, take a look at Giants quarterback Eli Manning, who was last season's Super Bowl MVP and a strong candidate for this year's NFL MVP Award. The former No. 1 overall pick has turned the ball over 86 times in just 70 career games, has a career QB rating of 76.4 and in just five years in New York, is already tied for third on the all-time Giants' interceptions list with 72. Plus, he's just 41-27 as a starter in the NFL.
