Romo finally qualified for NFL historical Rankings

Good Article from Gosselin that went national:

Blurbs from the article:

Romo finally has thrown the necessary 1,500 passes to qualify for the NFL career passing list and debuts in 2010 as the third most-efficient quarterback in history – ahead of Peyton Manning, Kurt Warner , Tom Brady , Joe Montana and Drew Brees.

And we still haven't seen the best of Tony Romo. But we have a chance to this season.

The Cowboys have surrounded Romo with the most talented supporting cast of his five-year tenure.

The NFL's No. 1 passing team has played for a championship only five times in Super Bowl history: the 1984 Miami Dolphins, 1999 and 2001 St. Louis Rams, 2002 Oakland Raiders and 2007 New England Patriots.

Those teams went 1-4 in Super Bowls, and the 1999 title game ended with Tennessee on the St. Louis 1-yard line. So the No. 1-ranked passing offenses are 1 yard shy of possibly being winless in Super Bowls.
