1) Dez Bryant hasn't had 1,000 yards yet because he's only played two years. He had a strong rookie campaign with 8 TDs (2
PR TDS) and had 928 yards and 9 touchdowns in 13 games last year. Don't just look at yards and discount the TDS. Bigger receivers are more valuable in the red zone. Dez Bryant is a beast and should be a pro bowler for the next 5 years. I'd be shocked if he had under 1,000 yards.
2) Austin is a nice efficient WR and Romo loves throwing to him.
3) I give credit to Romo for raising Robinson's play. He's a solid vet that Norv Turner didn't want to cut but Romo probably got the best out of him.
4) You seem to forget Romo has an All-Pro tight end too. That's 4 decent options to throw to. How many decent options does Jay Cutler have to throw to? Is Johnny Knox as good as Laurent Robinson?
4) Dallas's line was not good last year but Lenoard Davis and Kosier have been BEASTS the last few years. Yeah they've had problems at center, and Barron sucked at RT LY.
I agree that Romo's escape-ability and the speed at which he plays masks those line problems. Big Ben also saves the Steelers from their crappy line. Eli saved the Giants from their crappy pass blocking line this year. Cutler saves the Bears and last year Peyton Manning's line with the Colts was probably worse than all of them. Those guys are all top 10 QBs. If you put Alex Smith or Joe Flacco behind those lines it's epic fail and everybody would know that their line sucked.
The thing with Romo is he's the cowboys QB and that elicits a strong response both ways. There is a large segment of the population that sees Romo as an average player. Then some of the cowboys fans think he's the 6th or 7th best QB. My point isn't to judge a player in just 1 year... I don't like to vault a guy up or down too much on stats based on 1 year. Did Drew Brees go down a lot last year after all the picks? How about shooting Matt Cassell up when he put up numbers? Keep it steady and don't reinvent the wheel every year to change the rankings.
