After blogging and debating the merits of Tony Romo's fourth quarter stats on 105.3 The Fan with many of you today, I was interested in testing my theory further.
The following HAS NOT taken place and NOT RUMORED anywhere. It is simply a creation in my own mind that makes too much sense not too happen
The NFL ranks quarterbacks in 10 major categories in its weekly stats package. Griffin is 16th, 17th or 18th in eight of them. He's best at completion percentage (62.4, ranked 14th) and worst at touchdown percentage (3.5, 23rd).
The rookie receiver recovered from his slow start to be the No. 3 guy behind Dez Bryant and Miles Austin, only to have a good game in San Diego spoiled by a fumble that ended all hopes for a comeback two weeks ago.
His stats are amazing but the results aren't. How can both things be true? It's my theory that he caves under pressure, and I decided to look at every 4th quarter from the 8-8 2012 season to test it.

I suggested this on Friday's edition of New School and it DEFINITELY holds true today. Yesterday's classic shoot-out with the Broncos was a GOOD loss for the Cowboys.
While many are calling the Cowboys' 51-48 loss to the Broncos a "good loss" or "moral victory", head coach Jason Garrett isn't willing to use either label.
That 2-3 record actually places Dallas in a first-place tie in the lame NFC East. And there is no grand shame in losing to the undefeated Broncos, who average an incredible 45 points per game.
