fish7718 Posted September 30, 2011 Report Share Posted September 30, 2011 The 49er's message board has a thread going about what people really think of Romo, and this is one of the posts I just read, that makes some good points, mainly statistically. "He is truly a stud. He takes chances, has a cannon, slings the ball and isn't afraid to make things happen. He is also the 4th highest rated qb in NFL history, and the HIGHEST RATED 4TH QUARTER QB IN NFL HISTORY. People who say he chokes are crazy. He plays for the Cowboys, so when someone farts, it's covered in the media. His mistakes are looked at with a microsope. He's led like 10 comeback wins in the 4th quarter or OT, and has the numbers to prove he is a stud. He's playing with 1st and second year kids, with a line more inexperienced than any in the NFL, a patchwork WR corp with the injuries, and is injured. He's also very, very smart. He reads defenses, knows what they're doing, and finds the holes -- a la reality star beats the 49ers. He was all over the Jets that first game. His strength is also his flaw -- taking chances. That leads to big risk and big reward. He is rewarded more often than not, but when he makes a mistake it is blown up. 42-26 career record 122td's/64 int's 95.5 career QBR (4th best all-time) 8.1 YPA (4th best all-time) I'd take that dude in a second!"Yeah I can throw stats at people all day but I've done that enough and all people ever want to talk about is winning in playoffs, then winning in December, then this, then that. Whatever the man does people are going to hate so it's almost fighting a losing battle to defend him because there's a ridiculous amount of criticism. Just wish it didn't take him breaking a rib to prove to everyone he was the real deal, sad... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NomarFachix Posted September 30, 2011 Report Share Posted September 30, 2011 I think Vick is the best athlete/playmaker of the three, Romo the best passer, and Eli the best game manager. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Make It Naaaashty Posted September 30, 2011 Report Share Posted September 30, 2011 I think Vick is the best athlete/playmaker of the three, Romo the best passer, and Eli the best game manager. This. I'd take Romo though. Vick is way too injury prone and Eli needs to be more consistent instead of having a good game every 3 or 4 games. I was also going to say how Romo has performed with that awful line and virtually no run game to help him besides last week where Felix broke a couple big runs. I'd love to see what Romo could do with a healthy Cowboys offense for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
