Tony Romo and the Biggest Meltdown QBs in the NFL

Tony Romo continues to find ways to shoot himself and the Dallas Cowboys in the foot. His decision-making abilities appear to diminish as the game and season progress, as evidenced in Sunday's 34-30 collapse against the Detroit Lions. Romo is earning his reputation as a big-game loser.

The list of Romo's late-game mistakes reads as a horror novel for Cowboys fans. From his fumbled kick to his recent troubles against the New York Jets, Romo just can't avoid the letdown.

A quarterback is not judged by his stats, but by his ability to win football games. The greatest NFL quarterbacks have highlight reels of late-game comebacks, not late-game meltdowns.

Romo isn't the only NFL quarterback who struggles in pressure situations. However, he might be the most noteworthy quarterback on this list.

Biggest Meltdown QBs in the NFL: Donovan McNabb

While Romo has been the most recent target of the media focus, Donovan McNabb was once in the same situation. McNabb has enjoyed a great NFL career that has featured a ton of passing yards, victories and big plays. However, it hasn't been all happy times.

McNabb has plenty of victories; however, he is still missing that all-important Super Bowl victory. He only has one Super Bowl appearance with several NFC championship game losses.

Philadelphia Eagle fans have too many memories of balls thrown at the feet of their receivers. McNabb is now giving Minnesota Viking fans the same nightmares on the way to an 0-4 start.

Biggest Meltdown QBs in the NFL: Rex Grossman

Rex Grossman is working to change the league's perception of his play. However, Chicago Bears fans will never forget Grossman's erratic play.

At times, Grossman looked like a Pro Bowl quarterback, leading long scoring strikes. However, Grossman had more than a handful of late-game collapses.

Grossman was known for his ability to throw several interceptions in a short period of time. Those interceptions often erased great performances—by the Bears defense.

The Redskins are off to a 3-1 start despite Grossman turning it over at the worst possible times, and we are all awaiting his next meltdown.

Biggest Meltdown QBs in the NFL: Chad Henne

Chad Henne's meltdowns began while he was still at Michigan. The Dolphins chose to overlook those mistakes, instead focusing on his powerful arm.

Henne has continued to commit costly mistakes. The more passing attempts by Chad Henne, the more mistakes he commits. There are reasons Miami loses so many close games, and he is a big one. Henne might not ever get an opportunity to make a mistake in a game with real playoff implications.
