Is E-Lie Still Better Than Romo?

So if I had to choose, I would take Romo as the lesser of two evils. His potential is greater. But, I really would rather not have either.

I didn't ask you to choose between Eli and Romo. I asked you to choose between the two scenarios.

I don't care about your personal feelings about Eli or Romo. I'm asking you which scenario is more acceptable to you.

Yes you did. You gave the Tyree (rabbit foot) play as the example of a QB who made the clutch play in the SB - Uh, who was that? And you compared it to the guy who made the clutch plays in the regular season - Uh, the only guy that could be in the context would be Romo.

SO I answered your question the way it was worded.

AND to answer it again - I would never take e-Lie.

The ONE argument that Eli backers have ever had is the mythical "clutch" argument. You know, the one that can't be backed up by anything substantial other than Super Bowl rings (which are a team accomplishment).

And now that the ONE argument Eli backers had appears to be dead? Well, I'm sorry Charlie, but it's certainly worth re-visiting the "debate".

Unless if you were an Eli backer, I guess. Then the embarrassment you're currently feeling will preclude your objectivity.

This argument is getting so tired.

Its equivalent of a Ravens fan arguing Flacco is better than Matt Schaub.

Who really cares which non-elite QB is better than the other?

What is romo's best playoff or week 17 performance?

Other elite qbs may have as many lows as romo, but romo doesn't have the highs in the playoffs to counter.

Kinda like Jim Everett, boomer esiason.

Did E-Lie carry his team for most of their wins?

You need help.

The problem is Tony shines at times. Tony IS a better QB than e-Lie could ever hope to be. e-Lie has had some good fortune and was in a situation to take advantage of some post season opportunities. e-Lie has also made some bonehead plays equal to Tony. Sure e-Lie has the rings, but so does his team. His team is why he has the rings. You e-Lie lovers act as if he carried his teams on those runs. He didnt. He just avoided those typical bonehead plays that he makes all too often. Romo hasnt.

e-Lie isnt better than Romo. e-Lie has just avoided his typical goofball bonehead plays in those crucial situations a couple of times so he has the rings. Sure he got it done, but that doesnt mean he is better. Just had things go his way at the right time.

You can't be serious. Wow.

So you're going to give Romo every ounce of the credit for the Cowboys being in the position to win the division last night? When the Cowboys lose you put the entire blame on the team but never any of it on Romo except for last night. Romo is a big part of why the Cowboys win games and a big part of why they lose them. In the first Philly game it was 21 points by the defense and special teams that won that game. Against Cinn the following week Romo had 3 errant passes dropped 2 by Newman and one by Nate Clements that would have cost the Cowboys that game. Breaks won the Cinn game for the Cowboys. AJ Green dropped several passes and Dalton was off missing several easy throws.

Romo had bad days and so did Eli and when they played well their teams usually won. Neither the Giants or the Cowboys win games when their QB's play poorly. Romo contributed to the first Washington loss with 2 picks he turned the ball over 5 times in 2 games vs the Redskins while RG3 only had 1 turnover. Romo had 5 picks vs the Bears and 4 vs the Giants in the second game all of which contributed to those losses. The OL didn't play well but they had some good games. There's OL's in the NFL that are much worse than the Cowboys like the Packers and they still won and are in the playoffs because they have a great QB who doesn't have turnover issues and is clutch in big games.

The word "choke" isn't used with Eli it's used with Romo. Eli led the Giants to more wins this season than Romo led the Cowboys to and he didn't tank in the season finale to help knock his team out when it still had a chance. All you are is an Eli hater who has an agenda to tear his game apart and make Romo look like the superior QB. Every great game Eli has you find fault with it.

I'm sure there's not a season you haven't thought Romo was better than Eli you're one of the biggest Romo FANS/ APOLOGISTS I've ever seen. All last nights game did was push Romo farther behind Eli and the rest of the other elite QB's in the league. It's cemented him as a QB who keeps coming up short in the big games. Everytime it appears he's turned the corner he comes up with another choke job.

That is some powerful Kool-Aid you're drinking or is it something else?
