mediocrity sucks
There's no question that you give up a 1st for Romo. I doubt he gets traded though.
Aaron Rodgers was a "stat guy" too, until he won a championship. Junc's arguments here are as predictable here as they are tired... and significantly, they're wrong.
Sports is about tomorrow, not yesterday. I don't care how many playoff games you've won. It doesn't mean you'll win one more. It doesn't mean you even deserve the credit for those you've won. Anyone with two eyes could see Aaron Rodgers was good enough to win a championship. If as a hypothetical you had a chance to get him a year or two ago and begged off in favor of a guy who's won a few playoff games -- like a Mark Sanchez -- then you're dumber than a jar of money spunk.
Tony Romo absolutely is good enough to win a championship. He's a better QB than Sanchez, than Joe Flacco, than Eli Manning, than a bunch of guys who've won playoff games. Nobody who knows anything scouts and ranks quarterbacks primarily by playoff victories. It's as dumb a way to do it as there is. Junc just spends so much time on message boards he takes positions that you can defend with numbers and stats rather than positions that, you know, require you to actually know what you're talking about.
Jim Plunkett won two Super Bowls as a starter. Yet, he was never good enough as a player to even make a Pro Bowl, and was replaced as a starter everywhere he went. If you'd rather have him as your starter in some hypothetical than Dan Fouts, who never even made a Super Bowl game, then all I can tell you is I want you as the GM for a team in my division. I'm going to kick your dumb *** every time.
Tony Romo is absolutely worth a first. He's worth actually somewhat more than that. And I'd be willing to pay it.
"Stat QB" who has had his team in the playoffs something like 10 straight years. I'll take that everyday.
This isn't about Manning though, it's about Romo. The guy just makes plays. I don't think I've ever seen another QB take so much flack for nothing. Before he went down to injury this season, he had something like 4-5 games his team lost off of some stupid mess up. Against the Redskins, he hits Roy Williams in the endzone in the last seconds for the win, only to have the TD negated by a hold on Alex Barron. The amount of drops by his WRs against the Bears was out of control. Even sure-handed Miles Austin dropped a few. I could keep going, but it's irrelevant. The point is the guy gets a raw-deal. Put him on a team with a competent front office and coach and the guy will thrive. I don't think he gets moved personally. However, I do think he will have an All-Pro year under Garret this season...
As was mentioned earlier, can someone tell me one player that will be available that is better than Romo? He has his flaws, but put him with Marshall, Bess, give him some protection and he will lead this offense to some big points
Wait a minute...haven't we talked about Cam goin to 3 to the Bills??? Weren't we HOPING he fell to us at 15 in a wet dream? Now all the sudden he's going to fall all the way to 15? I don't get it...
That's why he is better than Romo but once the calendar turns to january Peyton turns into Cooper Manning.
Every QB has plays called back or receivers drop passes. It's part of the game. Dallas was 1-5 w/ Romo as the starter this year and 4-5 w/ Kitna as their starter.
He was on a team w/ Bill parcells as his HC, there aren't many HC's better than BP in the history of this game.
