RECAP: Marcellus Wiley: I would take Romo over Palmer and Roethlisberger

[Maikeru-sama]

Reasons sited:

His attitude when there is adversity great, something we saw Roethliserger struggle with that last year.

His confidence and attitude changed the Cowboys

He is extremely poised

Remeber when he was trying to make the team and in the lunch room he was always smiling talking to everybody, stars, bench warmers and I was told that nothing hasn't changed since he became the starter

He reminds me of Brady. I sacked Brady one time and he was laughing when he got up, Romo does the same thing

 

[Maikeru-sama]

I could definately get used to Wiley .

 

[Apollo Creed]

If Palmer was on the Pats he'd be putting up Brady's numbers too, some guys are just stuck in tough situations that don't magnify their strengths. Big Ben is always going to be very average.

 

[lurkercowboy]

Wiley had a sack once?

I could definately get used to Wiley .

Wiley has a chance to be really good at broadcasting. He is highly intelligent (Ivy League), well-spoken and poignant...

 

[Maikeru-sama]

Wiley had a sack once?

Yep, twice in his career he racked up double digit sacks in a season.

 

[CATCH17]

I could definately get used to Wiley .

He said a few weeks ago Peterson was better than LT so I take what he says with the grain of sizalt.

In this case though I do agree with him.

I know I am in the majority but, I would take Adrian Peterson over LT right now too.

 

[The Panch]

I dont understand why Roethlisberger even gets mention. He has some big games, but averages under 200 yds a game for an offense that relies on the running game.

Roethlisberger is your classic Parcell's Bus Driver type...

I think you are in the minority.

Petersons really good don't get me wrong.

But I think LT is a smarter player. I also will take a Marathon guy in the NFL over a Sprinter.

LT is going to be there for me 16 games a season. I can't say that about Peterson.

Yep, twice in his career he racked up double digit sacks in a season.

When he was playing with Wade as the DC. As soon as he left the WP style of play, his numbers deteriorated.

He had a bad injury that had a lot to do with his numbers dropping as well.

 

[zrinkill]

I would too.

 

[CrazyCowboy]

OK--I will agree with him!

 

[joseephuss]

When he was playing with Wade as the DC. As soon as he left the WP style of play, his numbers deteriorated.

Not as soon as WP left. In 2000 with the Bills and Wade as head coach Wiley had 10.5 sacks. Wiley then went to San Diego and had 13.0 sacks in his only pro-bowl/all-pro season. Wade was not in SD at that time.

Majority? Anyway, give me Peterson, too. He's unreal.

 

[Maikeru-sama]

I clearly meant to say minority. I got interrupted before I could proof read what I wrote.
