Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo, quoted in the Dallas Morning News on the importance of winning versus compiling great stats:

“At the end of the day, winning is what counts at my position. As I get older, it doesn’t matter to me if I throw for 100 yards a game or 400 if we win. You’re a far better quarterback when you throw for 150 yards and win than when you throw for 320 and lose. Stats are just stats.” Added Romo on his heroes growing up: “Two of my favorites were Magic Johnson and Larry Bird. They were selfless with the way they played. They could have easily averaged another five to 10 points per game if they had wanted to, but I don’t know that they would have achieved their team goals. For my perspective, (statistics) are something that kind of just happen in the process of winning or in an effort to be the best you can be.”
