If You Don't Think Tony Romo is a Top 3 NFL QB.......

[Vitooch]

Romo is very tough and often must put the game on his back when this talented Cowboys team seems not to show up (Week 3 against the Skins comes to mind,a very gutsy performance there. )

However, I still don't put him in elite quarterback status lol. But still, he is a very solid, top 10 QB

Romo is a pretty level headed guy.

[Vitooch]

[SportsPedagogy]

I think that stuff is funny. He isnt taunting other players. He is a very good sport, unlike Rivers who blows up on his teammates after he throws picks.

[tatommack]

I have to say I love romo to but I have him at 4 right now

Ok but here are his career PLAYOFF STATS-<TABLE style="WIDTH: 433px" cellSpacing=1 cellPadding=1 width=433 border=1><TBODY><TR><TD style="WIDTH: 71px; HEIGHT: 17px" noWrap>Playoffs</TD><TD style="WIDTH: 27px; HEIGHT: 17px" noWrap>4</TD><TD style="WIDTH: 52px; HEIGHT: 17px" noWrap>1-3</TD><TD style="WIDTH: 28px; HEIGHT: 17px" noWrap>135</TD><TD style="WIDTH: 48px; HEIGHT: 17px" noWrap>80</TD><TD style="WIDTH: 32px; HEIGHT: 17px" noWrap>59.3</TD><TD style="WIDTH: 43px; HEIGHT: 17px" noWrap>832</TD><TD style="WIDTH: 33px; HEIGHT: 17px" noWrap>6.16</TD><TD style="WIDTH: 24px; HEIGHT: 17px" noWrap>4</TD><TD style="WIDTH: 28px; HEIGHT: 17px" noWrap>2</TD><TD style="WIDTH: 48px; HEIGHT: 17px" noWrap>80.8</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>
That 59.3 completion % & 80.8 passer rating & 25 % winning % is impressive.
top 3 in my book[/sarcasm]

FAIL, same tired played-out B.S.


1. I don't consider him top 3, probably 5 or 6

2. He didn't play badly in any of the Cowboys playoff games, 80 QB rating is above average anyway

3. I would go and cherry pick some stats from Brees, Manning, and Brady (yes, in playoff games, LOSSES to be more specific) but it's not worth the effort


Keep the hate alive!

Not a nice thing to say, went too far here, just f'in around

....................and LOST.


Let's call him a poor man's TEBOW.

[SportsPedagogy]

Cry me a river, if Jason Garret doesnt call a time out, Romo makes another crucial 3rd and long to set up the game winning FG.

Jimmyeatworld seems like he is all over the place screaming about how bad Romo is now. This guy obvioulsy knows nothing about football.

really with the if, ands, and buts???? eagles are 10-2 if they dont fumble in the forth, miss fgs in the forth, throw picks in the forth.... BUT, the game is 4 quarters long, so none of that matters... Romo put up 13 vs ariz and they lost. Luckily they are in such a bad division that they will be able to get f'd up in the first round of the playoffs

[zsr]

Still a solid quarterback, but he has probably the best wideout tight end running back combo in the league. No excuses this year if they don't win a playoff game.

Pretty boy romo sucks..He sucks, nothing left for him to do than makeup with his barbie doll and start doing porn! I want to see Romo giving Jessica Simpson a Donkey Punch.


The Donkey Punch is when your engaged in anal sex and when your about to ejaculate you punch the poor little lady in the back of the head so her anal cavity tightens making the orgasm all that more better (for you ofcourse).

What i am saying is you cant blame Romo for him missing the FG. Romo started off shaky, over throwing a few balls, but he got it together in the 2nd and made some good throws. He still threw for 300 yards, no picks. Dez Bryant dropped a few balls that would have been first downs and the receiving corps couldnt seem to get open. Romo did what he could.

I am not defending Dallas, they are not a good team. I posted in your thread they will probably blow the division. The O-line makes stupid mistakes, Demarco Murray has come back to reality and Terrance Newman is HORRIBLE. He was even covering Roberts and got burned.

I just think its idiotic to say Dallas lost because of Romo.

[dlunc3]

But you are saying that he is better then brees... when was the last time a brees offense scored 13 points or less? Romo has done is twice this yr... brees has also proven that he can win in the playoffs... I dont mind you arguing that romo is anywhere from the #5 qb to the #8 qb, but until you put brees above him, there is no point in making an argument

[McBa1n]

Romo isn't all that great. He's very talented, but his decision making is what hurts him most. His mobility gives him the ability to be excellent - but to be fair, losing to Arizona is a black eye. Great QBs don't lose those games. They also don't give games away with a 20 point lead (ala the Detroit game).
There's no way he's better than the elites in Rodgers, Brees, Manning, Brady or Big Ben. In fact, I'd say he doesn't even get close to the debate in the top 5. Top 10? Maybe.

Edit:
Also forgot to mention that leadership is a big part of being an NFL QB. Romo is not much of a leader compared to the elite QBs. He's kind of like Eli. Talented, but not much of a leader. A leader wills teams to victories. That is way more important than QB rating or yards or TD passes... Tebow, right now, in my opinion, has shown he's a better leader than even Romo. But no way I'd take Tebow in any reality over Romo. Tony just needs to develop more as a leader.

[SportsPedagogy]

I think talent wise, they are about even. Romo does things Brees cant (See all of his 4thQ escape from the defender and complete huge 3rd down these past few weeks) Brees does some things better then Romo. i think Brees sees the field better. That being said, i think Romo is a better fit for Dallas because of his escapability. Brees did lose to the Rams. It wasnt all his fault though. You can not put all the blame on a QB. Brees definitely has a better offense around him. He throws to guys who are wide opened. He has better receivers and a better coach. Its not fair to compare they two by what their teams are doing.

Brees lost to the Rams and Tampa Bay. Brady lost to Buffalo ... all those guys have alot more talent around them. I dont know what to say about Romos leadership, but he has willed .... he has CARRIED the Cowboys past the Redskins twice, Dolphins, 49ers. Those teams have good defenses and bad offenses. Watch all of the completions Romo has ... most of them are to well covered receivers. Dallas has alot more problems then Romo. they only thing he is holding them back from is a top 10 draft pick.

Brees has better weapons? Romo has had better wrs then n.o. for yrs... Romo has had a better tight end for yrs up until this yr... Their rbs have prob been even over the yrs... Without looking it up, id assume romo has had the betrer defense over the yrs as well... Can you explain your view that brees has had better talent around him?

[Kindred]

Tebow has a better chance of winning a playoff game this year than Romo

From the 4.5 Saints games i have seen this year, Brees has had alot of time in the pocket. Dallas has had no running game the entire time with Romo. Only Barber who was only good in the redzone for one year.
Saints had McCalister and Reggie Bush. Its close, but i would give the edge to the saints. Has for the recievers, not even close. How many teams cut Lauran Robinson ? Where did Miles Austin come from ? These guys are good because of Romo, not inspite of. Jason Witten is the same way. Romo gets him the ball, Witttens production dropped alot when Kitna took over last year.

Im not even talking about just this year... im talking about the last 2, 3, 4 years... Romos weapons have by far been better then brees's. Romo had one of the best wrs of all time in TO, Roy Williams when he was a pro bowler, Jason Witten, Marion Barber, Julius Jones.... Now he has a first rounder probowl caliber Dez Bryant, Miles Austin (who no, was never with any other teams), Witten, Murray, and Felix Jones.. And you cant say Witten is good bc of Romo.. Witten was a stud prior to romo even getting to dallas.. Brees had never had this kind of talent. I will say their rbs have be the same, bc neither have had great ones.. brees had deuce at the end of his career and bush was never a good back in N.O... Old man Deuce, bush, thomas, ivory, ingram, ect.. are no better then barber, j jones, f jones, murray.... That is a push. But receivers??? You really wanna compare 7th round pick Colston, undrafted Lance Moore and 2004 bust devry henderson to Terrell Ownes, Dez Bryant, and Roy Williams? no need to mention Miles Austin, who was a nice suprise... Or do you wanna compare tight end? Brees had a washed up Jeremy Shockey and I dont even remember the other guy hes been throwing the ball to the last few yrs.. yea, now he has Graham who is great.. but up until now, it wasnt even close. All this not even mentioning that the cowboys had a great line the last few years and a better defense then N.O.... The difference between the two teams is???? BREES

You cant watch brees play and say romo is even in the same league.... Brady, Rodgers, Peyton, Brees, Roth are all definites over Romo... If you wanna put Romo at #6, sure go ahead... tho I dont have him there, I can see your arguement.

[opie1988]

Anyone who watched Romo's final drive yesterday (for what should have been the game wining field goal) and thinks he was anything short of excellent is simply delusional.

[dlunc3]

you mean the drive where he took a terrible sack with no pocket awareness? good thing he has a stud wr Dez to bail him out on that drive... sure romo is good... but i guess you havent seen brees the last two weeks. The guy is surgical... there is no need for a gamewinning drive with that guy, as he actually puts points on the board so that the game is out of hand

[SportsPedagogy]

No pocket awareness ? Come on now, Romo is always avoiding some kind of pass rush. He forced the ball to a well covered Dez Bryant. Dez Bryant is a physical beast, but sometimes he looks like Vikings Randy Moss, and other times he plays like Raiders Randy Moss.

[dlunc3]

romo took a terrible sack on that drive... regardless, the team shoulda never been in that spot... brees woulda had 25+ points scored on that d
