Romo or Brees

[Gangsta Spanksta]

Romo would have been even better and have more accolades under Payton(especially in N.O.) for his career.

Hard to tell if Brees would have been Brees under Garrett and in Dallas.

With that said, I have to say Brees just because of their situations and schemes.

Don't know if I would even say Especially in N.O. If Peyton would've been the head coach here instead oh Wade in 2007, I think dallas would've won a couple of superbowls. That 2007 team had so much talent but it was all wasted on bad coaching.

He got it done at the highest level when his pass attempts were at their lowest level of his Saints career. Less Brees is more, apparently.

Leading a team to a SB victory isn’t simply about pass attempts. If you believe otherwise, so be it.

I said that because the Saints had more solid teams around Brees than Dallas did for Romo in all. Not to mention, no Jones boys to deal with in The Big Easy.

I do agree that if Payton coached in Dallas for Romo's entire career, we might have another ring or two.

Leading a team to a SB victory isn’t simply about pass attempts.

Also Peyton may have helped with the Drafting decisions. After Parcells left, Jerry made a lot of bad decisions there, especially that year we drafted all backups XD

Brees...silly question, stats be damned.

You’re right it’s also about being consistently surrounded by better coaching and talent, in addition to having the least attempts of your career. Thanks for pointing that out.

Like I said, Payton would've helped with what romo had around him, since drafting by that time was done in a board room type manner where coaches also got Jerry's ear. Parcells did us no favor when he left, and dismantlement the team we had in place for finding talent that build that 2007 team. I mean he took them all to Miami with him. Jeff Ireland for instance, who now is with Peyton in N.O

I would argue that Romo had similar accuracy and touch and added better mobility and elusiveness(not to mention height). Much of this fan base really did not deserve Romo... I wonder what could have been had he been traded to the Saints when Sean Payton wanted him.

The biggest shame is that Jerry let Payton out the door. Sean Payton as the Dallas head coach after Parcells probably makes some deep runs

 

[Kevinicus]

Yup superbowl puts you a notch above. The story could've been different if Parcells would've stayed, or if Peyton had become the head coach here instead of going off to the Saints. Wade was a bad replacement for Parcells and such a promising 2007 Team that Parcells build up slid down. Coaching can be all the difference in how great a quarterback will be.

SB means zero when discussing individual players. SBs are team accomplishments and team accomplishments only.

He would've suffered from the Madden Curse instead of Brees

Romo Breese is not a Cowboy

I always find that to be a bunch of BS. There are players who know how to win Championships and then there are players who win stats.

 

[DenCWBY]

In the biggest game, in the second half against the Colts, he was flawless. Almost perfect when he had to be. He’s a true field general.
Can’t ask for more than that.
Brees without a doubt.

So in the season where Brees tossed for a whopping 5100 yards and 43 TDS but the Saints went 7-9 was he willfully forgetting his championship knowledge to pad his stats?

 

[Tangle_Foot]

Sometimes the off-season pressure is too long and a person cracks

 

[Diehardblues]

If it’s Brees by far then why do they have nearly the exact same QB rating over thousands of attempts between the two of them?

With all due respect the QB rating is flawed.

Look at this list especially beyond the top 10 with names that would never be included with any top 25 greatest QB of all time .

Just another example how this pass happy era has inflated these type off statistics.

There is no empirical data to solve this question. Only volumes and volumes of opinions. Both great qb's. Brees the better leader, imo. Brees had the superior hc.

Irrelevant... I’m comparing two players whose careers largely intersected. I wouldn’t suggest either Brees or Romo was better than Roger Dodger despite their much higher rating.

 

[Diehardblues]

Staubach is 42nd ranked . Troy 55th. Romo 3rd.

9 of the top 10 from pass happy era. Only Steve Young isn’t .

Matt Shaub is 15 th ranked. Lol

Nooooo.. it’s not a flawed list. Lmao

I never said that. It's more evident in basketball for instance, where there are certain players that you know will help you win a championship.
