Best QB in Texas

[Maikeru-sama]

Romo is without a doubt the best QB that currently lives in Texas. Collegiate QB's are dirt compared to pro QB's, the difference is huge.

Matt Schaub is a good Quarterback but Tony Romo is better then him at the moment.

Not even sure why QBs in college are even being mentioned.

At the moment...Romo is better than Schaub in the past, in the present and in the future.

Pretty stats in Sept through November must now be the criteria for excellence at the quarterback position.

I was never much of a Danny White fan and his also-ran status.

After the Giant's game I saw posts on several boards expressing the sentiment that you cannot blame Tony for this loss.

So the yardstick is now not wins and losses but how well Romo played.

Sorry, I take the losses hard and although Romo played a pretty terrific game, the team still lost.

I'd just like to see what the end result would have been if he hit Roy Williams for the obvious TD instead of overthrowing him by almost ten-yards.

But what the hey...Romo threw for 392-yards and three touchdowns.

I wonder if the City of Dallas is planning a parade?

That friggin Romo! Why didn't he tackle Jacobs when he had the chance? Why didn't he tackle Hixon on the punt return? God he sucks! Passes for 3 TDs and nearly 400 yards he thinks that's enough? It's not enough until he completes 100% of his passes for 700 yards and 12 TDs and starts making tackles on defense and STs!!! :bang2: :bang2: :bang2:

Dude, you are beyond help.

You should go to the Ranch and see how much ridiculous hate this clow..err dude spews towards Romo.

He is like a slightly less abrasive Lee Blair.

Normally, you make a lot of sense.

But here, you are off the reservation.

Romo missed the Roy Williams throw, no doubt about it. The problem isn't so much that he missed that 1 throw. The problem is... why did we need that one throw?

Romo missed a couple of passes. Out of 55 attempts, guess what, that's going to happen. Hell, that's going to happen on half the total attempts.

But when your starting QB has 392 yards, 3 TDs, and 0 INTs... you should win that game.

We didn't.

That statline SHOULD get a W just about every time.

But it didn't.

Why?

(Hint; the answer isn't Romo).

Now, to be fair, if Romo goes out on Sunday and throws up a dud and we win; I'll give the team credit for winning and criticise Romo for poor play. And that's how it should be.

But to hinge the Giants loss on Romo; no. He made more than enough plays that a mediocre defensive effort would have ensured victory. But we didn't get that.

Dude, when your QB throws for 400 yards, 3 TDs, and completes 75% of his passes, you should win the dam game.

If you dont win that game, it means your defense freaking blows!!!!! How the hell does freaking Jacobs at 300 lbs outrun the entire defense in a 75 yard dash???

Answer.....Because your defense freaking blows!!!!

How the hell does the seconary allow 5 pass plays of over 20 yards when the Giants couldnt do jack on offense for the last 6 weeks???

Answer......Because your defense freaking blows!!!!!!


How the hell does the offensive players for the Giants just break tackle after tackle after tackle???

Answer......Because your defense freaking blows!!!!


Gee, you think the defense might be the problem and not the QB that just threw for 400 yards???

and the Texans are 5-7.

this brings to mind a comment made by Troy Aikman

"QBs get too much of the blame and too much of the credit" -- paraphrase

About half those losses ended in Schaub 4th quarter INTs when they were in striking distance of a win.

 

[Bob Sacamano]

ok, so he's Romo circa 2008

I personally think Romo is better, because he's a dynamic playmaker (arm and feet) you can't say that about many QBs, heck, I don't think you can say that about any QB besides him at the moment

it used to be McNabb in that group, and then Rothlesbumber, but right now Romo stands alone

but to laugh the Schaub comparisons out of the room is a bit unfair, he's a player in his own right too, and a legitimate argument could be made on his behalf, although not a winning one

 

[theogt]

Yeah, he's about like Romo with a broken throwing hand.

 

[Bob Sacamano]

you think that INT when he forced a pass to Witten against Pitt was due to his broken hand?

No, it was due to Witten running the wrong route.

According to Witten, at least.

I was listening to my local ESPN radio affiliate today and the local guys were doing their afternoon show. Chip Brown, formerly of the Dallas Morning News is one of the hosts and he is at the place where the college football awards show is being held tonight. He was doing an interview with the Houston Cougars QB, Case Keenum. He was trying to be funny with his question by asking Case who the best QB is in Texas right now. Keenum immediately answered Tony Romo.

Now both of these hosts are dorks and they laughed at Keenums answer. They appreciated that he did not fall for the trap question and any comparison with Colt McCoy. They also they that it isn't true and Romo is not the best QB in Texas.

I just find it amazing how overlooked Romo is. Sure Tony has a few facets of his game he has to improve, but the guy is a good NFL QB. There is only one other NFL QB in the state of Texas and that is Matt Shaub. Shaub is good, but he is not as good as Romo.

You can't even compare college qbs to guys that are already getting it done in the NFL. Shaub is better than any of the college QBs right now because he is facing the fire at the highest level and like I said he is still below Romo.

I just got to vent sometimes. At least I changed stations after I heard this mess.

I agree... Romo is very much a "cut above"... we are spoiled...

I DID ask for him to be benched in 1 game this year, but I am steadfast on his production along with him being our starter...

We are lucky to have him...

:laugh2:so did I

but only for the 1st offensive series

I never understand not benching a player when they are bad... it intensifies when it is QB...

We ALL have bad days... chalk it up and give the next guy a chance...

When the next guy is Kitna.............leave Romo in the game.


Really not that hard a decision to make.

Kitna isn't that bad of an option for back-up...

I'm a big Romo fan but give the next guy the chance when things aren't going well...

for me it was just sending Romo a message

bad Romo gives us a much better chance to win than Kitna, because Romo can usually turn it around and become great

but Romo hasn't made any stupid throws in a good while, so it's a moot point now

 

[Randy White]

If Schaub can remain healthy for a few seasons, this may be a real debate..

Nope..

Locks in on intended receivers too much and he's not as accurate as people believe he is. He's a solid - good QB, but that's it. I've had him for my fantasy league and watched most of his games ( 'cept this past weekend when I didn't started him, which turned out to be a great idea ) and next year, if I pick him, it would be as my 2nd QB.

He's too inconsistent and at this stage of his career, paraphrasing Emmitt: " That leopard ain't changing his stripes ".

[gimmesix]

Witten ran the wrong route.

We also shouldn't blame the QB when the ball goes through the receivers hands or off his chest or the QB is hit while throwing, but he gets credit for the interceptions (and often the loss) just the same.
