Theismann: Romo isn't a very good QB

[Poman]

LOL. Dude, you can't bring up the "team" argument because it's exactly that: a team. Theismann's TEAMS were winners, not Theismann.

It's like me saying Tebow is better than RG3 because he's won a playoff game... or Aikman is better than Brees because he has 3 rings and not 1.

I actually can bring up the "team" argument. Because I believe a QB doesnt have to have all the flashy stats to be the leader of his team. He has to be the core, the inspiration, somebody the team wants to win for. Do I get that feeling about romo? Nope. In fact, I keep seeing articles about how THIS YEAR romo is going to step up and be that leader. Let me know when that happens. All that being said, I disagree with Theismann that romo isnt a very good QB. But I do think romo is not that guy that elevates and inspires a team. And it's not like you saying Tebow is better than Robert Griffin III because of a playoff win. Thats just you trying to stir things up. Like you did when you attacked our SB winning QB, instead of simply saying "Wow, I disagree with Theismann, here's why".

What the heck.....???

[AsiaticSkinsFan]

Different eras. Apples to Oranges. As someone stated earlier, Theismann has BEEN in more Superbowls than romo has won playoff games. IMO all agruments are moot after that point. Say what you want about Theismann, his teams were winners. romo, not so much.....

should I type it again?

in comparison to his peers vs. Theismann in comparison to his peers, Romo's numbers are better.

ie, versus their peers, Romo's numbers are better.

Theismann played on better teams than Romo has. Theismann is a better winner and didnt hurt his team when push came to shove like Romo has. But Romo has been a better QB than Theismann.

Well I can appreciate your post since it's not filled with nonsense. That said, I have never proclaimed Romo's "personnel" as great. The OL is complete s***

And I find this post of yours "not filled with nonsense", either.

But another thing you should appreciate is your need to learn and follow site rules, like you agree to do when you register your account. In the excerpt quoted, there is a rule 6 violation that usually nets a 1 week ban for any member. Consider this your one time free pass, as long as you read the rule and edit your post appropriately, soon.

Was it the "masked profanity"? I changed it.

I'm sorry but Theisman is wrong. I dislike the Cowboys and all but Romo is still a pretty good QB. Not elite, but can get the job done. Its just shocking how he finds ways to self-destruct at times. Although the thing is, he's often the reason the Cowboys are in a position to self-destruct. I'm sure Cowboys fans are dying to go back to the days of Quincy Carter and Drew Bledsoe..

Exactly what I thought when I read this.

I'm sorry, but any QB who has a career 96.9 rating, 21,982 passing yards, 154 TDs, 80 picks (nearly a 2:1 ratio) is more then good.

Romo will never be Brady. Romo will never be Peyton, Ben, Rodgers etc.

But to say Tony isn't very good is a lie. He has played behind some of the worst offensive lines every year.

He is also the only undrafted starting QB in the NFL right now.

Joe threw 6 more TD's then Tony (who will pass that), 58 more picks then Tony. He also played behind the "Hogs", had Riggins and 3 of the NFL's best receivers of all time.

Tony's best receiver ... Terrell Owens.

I guess Hall of Fame QB's, who have won Super Bowls, never have bad games? I guess Joe never threw 5 picks ... . Brady threw 4 picks AGAINST BUFFALO. BUFFALO MAN! He just has the talent around him to overcome his issues. Tony does not.

Cowboys' fans' ability to ostrich is astounding. First of all, comparing QBs stats from different eras is foolhardy. Romo doesn't have to deal with bump and run coverage or the beating that QBs took back then. Secondly, Theismann only played a third of his career with the Hogs. Lastly, Theismann is right and you know he's right. Deep down at the end of every game you know you have this sinking feeling in your gut that Romo's going to screw it up. I'm sure you will don your blue and silver tinted glasses and deny it but it's true and you know it. Now Romo doesn't always screw the pooch but when the lights are the brightest he's like clockwork. He's good enought to almost win much like Norv Turner. You keep hoping that he'll turn the mythical corner but the corner keeps getting farther and farther away. Here is a stat for you. 11-16.

I disagree, I think Romo is doing a fine job as the Cowboys QB.

And Jerry Jones? Best Cowboys Owner Ever.

Absolutely. Best thing to happen in Big D.

Couldn't have happened to a better team.

Uuummmm....ok...?

Must be a Cowboys troll

[Jumbo]

No, he a gnats fan (part of the recent flood). Right now it's about 50-50 whether he remains. In his short history he has a few pretty reasonable posts and a couple in the troll and/or stupid mold, so we'll see. I'm not much for letting any new guys (and I mean any, whether Redskins or fans of other teams) build a up some long history of dumb before sending them away for good. I'm jettisoning them quick these days. I think we have enough numbnutz fans of all types grandfathered in (out of 75, 000 members) that they're (the numbnutz ones) not an endangered species.

At least our legend doesn't blow coke up his nose and proposition underaged girls.

[Thiebear]

Unlike RG3, he can't outrun corners to catch passes also.
So Romo is even more skee-rewed than RG3 is at the moment.
