• NFL Quarterback Rankings: Week 12

  Not Tony Romo’s best day. But better than Brad Johnson. By a mile. Okay, I’ve got a long-distance, work-related field trip today so let’s get to it. Just for fun, let’s reveal ‘em in reverse order. Extrapolates the drama and all. Where you guys think Graham Harrell and Sam Bradford would fall on this list? 32. JaMarcus Russell – Raiders 31. Marc Bulger – Rams 30. Matt Hassellbeck -- Seahawks 29. Tyler Thigpen – Chiefs 28. Sage Rosenfels – Texans 27.

  Donovan McNabb benched? Matt Cassel with back-to-back 400-yard games? Just when you think the quarterback world has gone crazier than George Clooney, Tony Romo finally returns to being, well, Tony Romo.   Moving around in the pocket to produce 341 yards and three touchdowns.   Moving up in the rankings to produce more  cries of "Homer!".32. Ryan Fitzpatrick -  Bengals 31. Matt Hassellbeck - Seahawks 30. Marc Bulger - Rams29. Tyler Thigpen - Chiefs28. JaMarcus Russel

     Homer this.   Despite missing three games with a broken pinkie, Dallas Cowboys' quarterback Tony Romo leads all NFL quarterbacks in:   *QB Rating (103.2)   *Average yards per pass attempt (8.5)   *TD-Interception ratio ( 13)   If you watched his 331-yard, three-touchdown performance on Thanksgiving, there's no doubt Romo is back to being Romo. Which is great news for the Cowboys, and bad news for the quarterbacks he's leap-frogging i

• NFL Quarterback Rankings: Week 15

  Okay, I'm swamped up to here penning a cover story about a former Cowboy you haven't thought about in a long time, so let's make this snappy. Besides, isn't it best to eat your crow on the run? After praising Cowboys' quarterback Tony Romo in a swath of I-told-you-so's last week, he went out and looked like the goofball from the worst flag football team you ever played on. Goofy grins. Running to the heater between plays. Sailing passes. Fumbling. Throwing high and wide intercep

• NFL Quarterback Rankings: Week 16

  Tony Romo, all is forgiven. At least for a week. After one of the most Gawd-awful performances of his career - or, let's face it, any career - in Pittsburgh, the Cowboys' quarterback went out Sunday night and padded his legacy with a game straight from Hollywood. Aching back and nagging teammates be damned, Romo willed Dallas to a crucial victory over the Giants by throwing two touchdowns, committing zero turnovers and withstanding four brutal sacks. Two more games like that and

• Final NFL Quarterback Rankings

  According to the Pro Bowl, Peyton Manning and Kurt Warner are the two best NFL quarterbacks of 2008. According to me, nonsense. Warner has the best receivers in the league and throws in the worst division in football. Manning was steady, but hardly spectacular. My rankings, which take into account quarterback rating, team record, TD-to-Int differential and which way the wind's blowing, culminate today. And my winner - surprise - ain't even headed to Hawaii. 32. Dan Orlovsky - Lions 31

  ​Like the BCS, style points count. So do geeky, black-and-white stats such as touchdowns and quarterback rating. Wins and losses? Definitely. Leadership? Uh-huh. When it comes to my weekly NFL Quarterback Rankings - if I had one of those little encircled R's to signify a trademarked idea, it'd go here - the criteria is everything, nothing and all that's in between.

• You Betcha: Week 4

  ​See that? Over there. To your right? That's not the money you could be saving with GEICO. It's the money you lost last year betting with Richie Whitt. But, alas, in the spirit of persistence, stubborness and doubling down, we're back at it again in 2009. I owe it to you and myself (and my bookie) to be bigger, bolder and, yes, better than a putrid 7-10 this season. Not sure exactly what to make of either the Dallas Cowboys or the Denver Broncos. You? The Cowboys are 2-1; Broncos 3-

• Broncos 17, Cowgirls 10. My Top 10 Observations.

  ​10. Fox's Pam Oliver stinks. While she was busy reading some shallow, pre-orchestrated featurette, we went three series before learning that Gerald Sensabaugh was out with a bum thumb. And though Marion Barber played just one snap in the second half, we never received an update. 9. Not only is Kyle Orton not a good quarterback, he looks like Foo Fighters' lead singer Dave Grohl. 8. Think pink. I get it. Breast cancer is horrible and awareness is necessary. But with helmet stickers a

  Chances are he's looking for Miles Austin.​10. Say what you will about the Cowboys' lack of execution, their enthusiasm and effort was impressive. Keith Brooking. Jay Ratliff. Tashard Choice. They didn't always play well, but you can't say they didn't play hard.    9. I even liked - for a change - the report just before halftime by Fox's Pam Oliver. She said the Cowboys were grousing about the game, using words like "joke" and "embarrassing." I hope/think s
