Am I crazy...

Or is Tony Romo a better QB than Eli Manning?

I really think I like Romo about 100% better than Manning (Eli, that is).

Yur right

I think that's pretty obvious. Eli has never put up numbers like Romo puts up.

 

[InmanRoshi]

He's a lot more accurate. That should be obvious to even the most casual of observer.

His accuracy is still atrocious and it's year 3. How much longer before you just have to say this is who he is?

To the more than casual observer it's obvious that he goes through his reads quicker and has a quicker release. I'd say he has better pocket presence as well because Manning continually takes boneheaded sacks.

It is not even a question.

When I was watching Manning during this game, i kept expecting so much more than what he did. Romo has me spoiled.

Romo's play has been on par with the best in the league these past three games.

I just hope no one wakes me up.

Romo has had more time in the NFL to absorb the gameat the NFL level Eli pretty much got thrown to wolves. I think Romo has a couple of 11/25 120yd 2 int games coming.

I haven't seen enough of Romo to make the comparison. But I have seen enough of Eli to know he's maddeningly inconsistent.

He throws daggers at time, where he seemingly can't miss. Then he starts looking like he doesn't know what the heck he's doing.

For all the comparisons to the brother, he's nowhere near his league.

Funny, for the last few years all I was told is you learn nothing standing on the sidelines and the only way a QB develops is when you're thrown to the wolves.

But seriously, Manning came into the NFL much more prepared having played 4 years in the SEC compared to Romo coming from Division II. Romo had a lot bigger learning curve. Not to mention Eli was groomed in a football family.

Tony Romo is just an enigma and if he continues to be as consistant as he has shown the past 3 games, then we have to consider ourselves unbelievably lucky.

We got him for nothing, he came from no where and we just signed him to what would equal decent back up QB money for a few years. He not only is helping us on the field but in the pocketbook when when need to sign next years FAs.

Actually i think Jerry would be stupid not to give him a raise at the end of the season if all goes well.

No doubt!!!!!!

After the Carolina game, my friend and I (both Cowboys fans) were talking to a co-worker of ours who follows the NFL closely but isn't a Cowboys fan. We stated that we'd take Romo over half the QB's in the league. He said we were crazy, and then we proceeded to go through all the starting QBs.

The long and short of it was that we realized that it was just to early to tell when you're comparing him to guys like Leinart and Grossman, etc.

Now, after two more games, I can only think of 2 or maybe 3 guys who I'd definitely take over Romo. It just seems crazy, but it's true.

Romo's really impressed me with his poise and ability to sense the rush. That third down he converted with his legs in the second half was a savvy, vet move- and he didn't hesitate for a second. Bledsoe would've been a potted plant on at least three of our third down conversions today. I don't know what Romo's stats look like in that category, but I know it feels like we've got a chance on obvious passing downs now. I like our guy...

 

[Da Hammer]

Romo>>>Manning

Romo just knows how to read to quickly read a defense which is something Manning in his 3rd year as a starter still cant do, Romo is hardly sacked which is something that Eli allows a lot, and Romo never gets too low which is something Eli does a lot when they get down although i wont completely blame Eli as it can be easy having idiots like Burress and Shockey always complaining when they dont get the ball

How many NFL teams do you think would take him over Eli if they both were available and cost the same?

 

[Bryan8284]

Isn't it a nice feeling to have? Knowing your QB position is seemingly set right now.

I forgot the feeling.

 

[TheSkaven]

If you put them both on the same practice field without their jersey colors, numbers or names on the back, I think most all would pick Romo. Unfortunately, pedigree counts for much in the NFL.

I am happy with what we've got, but next week will be a great test. We'll have to put up three or four offensive touchdowns to win the game. It feels like the game could be an old AFC-style shoot out.
