I have to agree with GTripp that this is silly, that this topic will provide little in the way of intelligent debate, and that most of what you will get here is Redskins spewing their hate for Romo and the Cowboys. Calling someone a choker is just an easy way to stick it to the QB of your hated rival. There is very little substance to the claim at all. For example, how ofter was Peyton Manning called a choker before he finally won a superbowl last season? And now that he lost in the playoffs again yesterday is he a choker again?

I have to agree, however, with those who have said that he seems to lack the passion to become the same caliber of QB as Manning or Brady. I wouldn't be surprised if this trend continues, and eventually he is remembered as a vain POS that cared more about what he could gain from football then what he could bring to it. That is what seems to be important about this to me, because McNabb, for example, never got his SuperBowl win (yet, I suppose), and some might call him a choker, but at least the man seems to legitimately care about the game, and what he can give back. So you can call Romo a choker, but I'd rather focus my hate in a more constructive (or destructive I suppose) manner (as many of you have) and criticize him for his worse qualities.

That said . . . ha ha Romo sucks!! Way to blow it again LOSER!!
