At Least Romo does not have 25 INT's

[craig57]

Which career would most players want to have, Manning's with 2 Superbowl rings or Romo's being know as the QB the fails under pressure and has 1 playoff win?

It takes more than one person to win a Superbowl. That is why Brad Johnson and Trent Dilfer have Superbowl rings and Dan Marino, Dan Fouts and Fran Tarkenton do not. Of course most QBs would want the career that gets them a ring, but not everyone can be on the team that gets on a roll during the playoffs. If I'm building a team I would take Romo over Manning. The important part is to actually build a team around the QB. If you don't do that then any QB is going to struggle.

Another Eli thread? I thought this was the Cowboys forum?

Admit it. You found the picture hilarious. I know i sure did.

No I do not find anything that makes fun of the Star hilarious at all. It's not a joke to me, it's painfull to see the Cowboys a laughing stock of the league.

And multiple rings and multiple SB MVP's.

Eli and Romo in same sentence is silly.

2 time SB champion
2 time SB MVP

One got it done twice.
One chokes more than twice.

I prefer the former.

But E-Lie does this season! And the rings are a distant memory.

Romo can still guide his team to a division title, but the goofball cant.

Lets see if Romo can pull it off this year.

Romo Could, but he most likely wont. Does it really make you feel better that your argument is Eli has 25 pics and Tony doesn't? WHO CARES? Ask Tony if he'd rather have Eli's resume than his own. He'd be a FOOL not to. Two Rings, two SB MVPS, and some of the most memorable superbowl plays ever, Again WHO CARES what Romo has right now. We know he doesn't have that...

are you going to answer his question?

I guess not.

No, I think it is an overly simplistic question. Football and winning championships is complex.

Ha.....I'll takeTwo Rings and Two SB MVPs mixed in with an awful 25INT season vs. Romos 1 playoff victory in his career? Who wouldn't?

Give us how your defense and running game was doing (and your coaches for that matter) and we'd have those things because Eli wasn't the difference.

Quite a few people would rather have Romo's beautiful stats and not the hardware. They were obviously born in the era of third place is a winner.

Maybe he wasn't but he also wasnt the reason they lost any games during those runs. He stepped up his game when needed thus he has a few SBs and we have none. He could just as easily gone in those games and threw int after int but he didn't he made plays when needed, when we thought he wouldn't, and when we thought he couldn't. That is the difference, he had a team around him but that team was not very good either so everyone discounting what he did in order to prop up Romo really do a disservice to Romo, he doesn't compare in the playoff season.

Er mahh gawddd.. can we give it a rest already?

It's still early.

What the heck is with another Eli thread? And wasn't the Op the guy that accused others of starting these threads? Whatever it takes to make people better after yesterday I guess.......but I don't feel any better knowing another QB has 25 INT's when we're a hot mess.

He starts all these threads about Eli, then gets mad that we don't agree with him because we like championships not stats. When it gets real bad he accuses everyone of being Eli lovers.... What the hell is an Eli lover anyways? Kind of pitiful really because it is not just a once in a while post, he posts this thread every freaking week. I swear he has a history with Eli, otherwise he is bonafide stalker material, I have never seen anyone on this board more obsessed with a player from another team than this cat, hell even with players on this team no one is this obsessed.

Really who? I always hear players say screw the pro bowls and mvp's i want a ring.

I feel better abut our failings already!

It's not "ALL" Eli's fault, but he has been horrific. It's not a fluke that he has led the league in turnovers multiple times in his career. He has always been inaccurate and throws way too many picks. I look at Eli's situation this season and think of Romo's last season. Both had bad offensive lines and defenses. However, under very similar situations, the results are like night and day. Romo, despite no running game, terrible protection and a pathetic defense, had his team contending for the division title in week 17 (kind of like he's doing now with one of the worst defenses in the history of the NFL). Eli has been a disaster this entire season. He has not made his team better in any way this year. Regardless of TEAM accomplishments (like postseason victories/December wins), Romo has always been the superior QB. The actual stats that they use to measure a QBs abilities/efficiency show that Romo has been vastly superior throughout his career. Give me Marino over Plunkett any day of the week regardless of Plunkett's 2 rings. I understand the difference between team accomplishments and a QB's abilities. Unfortunately, this season will likely end in disappointment for Dallas. They'll find a way to blame Romo - especially if he turns the ball over in the coming games. He may very well be at fault in those games too but, if the defense was even slightly competent, Romo and the Cowboys would've already clinched the East. A defense that consistently blows double digit leads (is it 4 this season?) kills a team. The QB who has 29 TDs and only 9 INTs at this point is a big reason why they are even competitive.

I bet there are people that will respond "more stats please!"

What if Romo chokes and we fade out? I know, it won't be his fault.
