Kirk Cousins better than Romo? Puh-leaze

[Irvin88_4life]

How is Cousins mediocre? But Romo is not? last time i checked Cousins had a better year than Romo..

Last I checked Romo only played in 4 games last year. Easy to have more stats when you play 12 more games

Would any of u take the Romo over cousins for the next five years?

I wouldn't take Cousins over Romo for the next 10 years. I think Romo will accomplish more in his last 3-4 years (Super Bowl?) than Cousins will for the rest of his career.

I don't think there has been a more undeserving player of such high quality (who wasn't gifted anything as far as the position is concerned) getting more "hate" for the dumbest of reasons than Tony Romo.

Realistically, who knows what level Cousins might achieve during the remainder of his young career? Will the league figure out ways to take advantage of his weaknesses and make his ongoing success difficult? This is something that happens frequently with one-year wonders.

At present, there's just no way he should be considered comparable to Tony or practically any other long-tenured QB in the league, for that matter, in terms of overall mental preparation and adaptability. Experience is inherently crucial for any QB if they're destined to experience a highly successful NFL career. Reading and beating opposing pro defenses is no overnight proposition.

Yes, Kirk is plenty good for a young QB but he still has lots to learn before he compares with the likes of Tony Romo and many others who have already paid their dues.

Well said!

For some "analysts" the only way to get noticed is to trumpet asinine remarks. Being Cowboys-related gets you extra attention

Yup, these guys are not paid to be journalist. They are paid to talk and say stupid things that draw people in. The Trumping down...I mean dumbing down of America.

That's what Tiki Barber thinks. What's he been smoking?

He is still trying to find his way after getting fired from the network for sleeping with an intern while his wife was 8 months pregnant.
Giant And a Wahoo. Add those 2 up and you get a total L

Brian orakpo was better than demarcus ware, Chris Cooley was better than Jason Witten, Jason Campbell was better than romo.

its just the usual stuff. I used to care about this stuff until I finally realized the actual players do not so there is no need for me to. that approach has helped me to enjoy the game again and not pay attention to the click bait and hot sports opinions.

Exactly man. Well put!!!

 

[GimmeTheBall!]

the real story here is that Barber is still an analyst?

I thought he had been shown the door at ESPN or at whatever broadcaster he had hoodwinked to hire him.

 

[rynochop]

He's on some morning radio show on cbs radio, called Tiki and Tiernery, I guess that's the others guys name. It's not very good

 

[Hardline]

Cousins would be a great backup to Romo

 

[GimmeTheBall!]

Cousins is mediocre. He'll prove it this year.

I do not know the answer to this but let me ask:
Romo has TWO career playoff victories as a QB in the playoffs.
Would Cousins have more?

OK, thanks, mate for the intell. Personally, I would never listen to football talk from a man named Tiki.
LOL

LOL. I didn't realize he did that.

^^^ Post of the thread. Well said.

Fixed it for you.

Not bad - I'll buy that. Buyer beware.

Doubt it.

How do you get the time to post here? I figured prepaing Nick Foles' HOF acceptance speech would take up most of your time.
