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

**BIGDAY** · 11-21-11, 11:40 PM

Careful guys, Opie has the gloves off!

**Goat Milk** · 11-21-11, 11:41 PM

putting romo ahead of brady or even brees is crazy. tom brady might be the best qb to ever put on a jersey

Certainly both guys more accomplished. Add in Ben as well.

But this year, and especially currently.....I think Romo playing a level above both.

**Westcoast0** · 11-21-11, 11:45 PM

grossman was the best qb on the field yesterday

**somachino1** · 11-21-11, 11:49 PM

Of course youre familiar with the correct spelling, you would know.

And if you think pulling "rank" on a free internet message board makes you better than you're just proving my point.

Anywho, romo is, always has been and always will be a loser.

Cowboys will NEVER reach a title game with him at the helm.

what is the criterion you're basis this on. Romo has played great last 2 games, but there are times were he flat out disappears in games, especially in big games. Take for example the night game in Philly. That never happens with the elite qb's. All the top 5 quarterbacks in the NFL have all won rings, so lets see where Romo is come January.

**RonPaul2008** · 11-21-11, 11:58 PM

Top 3? Are you out of your mind??????

Rodgers
Brady
Peyton Manning (perhaps you are not counting him)
Brees
Vick
Roethlisberger
Cutler
Rivers
Ryan

and no doubt others I can't think of off the top of my mind are better starters.

**nosniboR11** · 11-22-11, 12:01 AM

Ron paul he said this year and payton is not playing, vick sucks ass, rivers sucks, ryan has looked like shit

Next tim watch thefootball games before you post

**PAULYPOKER** · 11-22-11, 12:03 AM

Love the comedy keep it up...........

**TexansFan** · 11-22-11, 12:06 AM

Top 3?

**ttwarrior1** · 11-22-11, 12:07 AM

u could stick any of those qb on dallas and they would contend and win it all. Stick romo on some other team,, he would stink and be cut

**Scottish** · 11-22-11, 12:32 AM

Cowboys have won 1 playoff game since 1996, Americas team!

Romo friendly offense always fails in December/January.

Opie...you seem like a genuine good guy and one of the better posters here at sbr. I want to be the first to say we don't want to see you leave anytime soon. However after reading this post i am very concerned about your state of mind as the drugs seem to have take over. Romo is a pretty good when it doesn't matter qb. This type just doesn't get the job done in the playoffs let alone the superbowl.

Just which are the games that don't matter?

Ingorant.

Yes, because that has so much to do with playing QB

**brahmabull117** · 11-22-11, 01:14 AM

Top 3 QBs in the NFL = Rodgers, Brady, Brees

pretty much no debate about this anymore

With the talent he has you'd think the Cowboys would have a much better record.

Tony Romo is too inconsistent but when he's on and playing at his full potential he's one of the best.

He's top 4 ATM behind Rodgers, Brady and Brees.

Romo has Demarco Murray now. Great receiver out of the backfield and very good runner also. He helps Romo so much.

Right now, Romo is TOP 5, without a doubt.

**SportsPedagogy** · 11-22-11, 02:31 AM

What's all this talent Romo has around him ? No running game till recently (didn't show up sunday, it was all Romo, don't say Grossman out played him, that's moronic) who was Miles Austin before Romo ? How great is Roy E Williams ? How many teams are trying to sign T.O. ? Patrick Crayton was supposed to be a stud thy was beig held back ... Now he has Rivers throwing him the ball and he is less productive. Jason Witten is always covered and Romo gets him the ball. His O Line is horrible, always has been. Most great plays by Romo start with him avoiding a blitzer ... I don't see that with Brady. Romo has turne Laurant Robinson into a star. How many times has Romo had a critical ball droppe in a big game ? T.O. Dropped alot, Crayton dropped a huge one vs the giants in the playoffs, Austin dropped two huge ones bs the Pats and dropped a touchdown vs the Jets, next play nobody gets open and Romo try's to run with it, hit from behind and Fumblesas he hits the ground. Maybe he should have slid, then everybody would say he cost them the game by not running. The hate for Romo is unreal. If people watched Dallas games and not just the sports center clips, they would see that he carries the team.

**VTranX** · 11-22-11, 02:46 AM

Cowboys need a diffrent QB if they want to win a super bowl, i just dont see him winning one. He's a good Qb but not super bowl worthy and too put him in top 3 is a joke.

Imo he's avg of all starting QBs active in NFL.

**face** · 11-22-11, 02:54 AM

dallas -6.5 looks pretty good with people thinking dolphins are good maybe. only problem is i've been fading dolphins and they keep winning.

**Preston09** · 11-22-11, 02:54 AM

To many mistakes in big games but I will agree that he is an elite QB

**troynewell47** · 11-22-11, 03:45 AM

i think once all you cowboys fans realize how many mistake romo has made you will win a super bowl, sure his stats look good, but in the actually playing of the game, he has made the most mistakes out of any other player in the past 5 years i can think of

**BigTenSports** · 11-22-11, 03:51 AM

Romo isn't top 10.

**BigTenSports** · 11-22-11, 03:57 AM

I like how the OP said that Romo has no receivers.

Cutler has been throwing to Johnny Knox, Earl Bennett, Roy Williams (who Romo pretty much quit throwing to because he was so awful), and Devin Hester.

Those guys should be 4th or 5th wide receivers on a good offensive team...

Romo has Witten, Miles Austin, and Dez Bryant.

Romo has 10 times the receiving talent as Cutler and does less with it.

**Grits n' Gravy** · 11-22-11, 04:05 AM

If there was a ballot handed out to every team asking them to list 3 current qbs that they would want to take the field for them for one game not a single ballot would contain the name Tony Romo. He is an average qb on a big stage team. Not even his mother would list him top 3.

Dallas leads division because all 4 teams are garbage right now.

Great team spirit though opie.

**GunShard** · 11-22-11, 04:59 AM

1. Aaron Rodgers
2. Tom Brady
3. Drew Brees

Can you not read, pal?

I've already ranked him Top 3.

It's official.

**Richkas** · 11-22-11, 08:37 AM

When it comes crunch time he will phuck up.....guy couldnt even play division I football...good QB...yes.....elite QB...no....and never will be

Tony Romo a top 3 QB? Funny

This, and it really can't even be debated. Should be consensus top 3.

When Romo is on his game he can play at their level, but that doesn't happen nearly often enough to make him top 3

**wikkidinsane** · 11-22-11, 08:51 AM

Romo is def. overrated. He has done so much wrong for the cowboys. I know the guys can throw but he is just mistake prone and thats what makes him rank 8 in the nfl right now IMO

Brady > Rodgers

Difference being that Brady receiving core is way sub-par when compared to Aaron Rodgers. Its a slight edge though

I'm a Pats fan, so I'd rather have Brady, but I have to give credit where its due. Rodgers is on fire. Brady has made more bad decisions so far this year than Rodgers, but I also think his best performances are better than Rodgers best.

Certainly can't go wrong with either, and I hope we get to see them match up in the Super Bowl
