If we had Aaron Rodgers we would have 3super bowls right now regardless of how bad our D is. I'm down for trading all our first rounders for the next 3 year's for him. Its obvious JJ will not draft a defensive lineman to save his life.

Colin on the Terd was talking about Aaron Rodgers and how historically bad he is in the 4th quarter when trailing.

Rodgers is 0-18 when trailing teams that have better than a .500 record.

He is like 5-24 when his team is trailing by 1-8 pts in the 4th quarter.

Why wont the mediots talk about it?

he is the media darling. and the media has no loyalty. eventually they will love all and hate all. so romo was scrutinized to no end for no reasons, and now people realize they were wrong. Rodgers is put on a mountain and adored and media at some point, will begin scrutinizing him as well.

its a cycle. it generates conversation, news, interest and gets people involved. its kind of a self promotion of media

Big fan of Romo here, but I would walk to Green Bay in January to trade him for Aaron Rodgers.

Yeah I agree. You can't rip on the Romo haters without being honest when it comes to something like this. Rodgers is a better QB than Tony, as is Manning and Brees and I think Luck gets there. After that you can throw a blanket around the next seven. Let's keep in mind we're talking about guys on the entire planet who can play QB at a high level. Not too shabby.

WPB - gotta say that was a disingenuous OP. If Colin is talking about Rodgers failures in the 4th quarter and I would assume he's a mediot with a big audience, (I happen to think he's very smart) -- why is he a turd? Seems to me he's doing exactly what you wish somebody like him would to.

You make a good point but any future criticisms of Rodgers will only go so far because he has a ring. That makes a difference.

That's why they're .500 teams.

They know how to protect a lead and close out the game.

I bet most QB's fair similarly in that regard.

I don't think I would go this far. No way would I trade our next 3 first rounders for anyone out there. If that player comes in here and falls on his face, that sets your franchise back a long ways. We have seen it happen here a few times in the last decade plus.

While Romo isn't as good as Rodgers, we would still be at 0 superbowl wins with him at the helm.
It goes deeper than just Quarterback, which isn't an issue IMO, why this team has struggled the past 8 years while Romo has been QB.

Please just stop. Rodgers won a super bowl without a defense. Romo has to have EVERYTHING around him PERFECT in order to just sniff the playoffs. Not even in the same league, except salary unfortunately.

While this is a great exaggeration (Which isn't exactly a surprise) I will agree with you that Romo is not in the same league as Rodgers but it has nothing to do with any of the silly crap you spewed here.

Anyone watching the two just simply play QB will notice that Rodgers is just clearly a better QB. There is no shame in that though because I feel like Rodgers is the best QB in the entire league.

They are valid points . I've noticed this myself . Anytime he's behind against a good team in the 4th quarter he fails big time . But he has a ring so the media leaves him alone .

I do think Rodgers is better overall than Romo. That said, in reacting quickly to a Romo thread you once again overplay your hand. Green Bay no defense when Rodgers got the ring? No way!

Romo was 8-7 last year with an historically bad defense. Even Drew Brees couldn't do that just a year earlier. So Romo doesn't need things perfect how about just not horrible?

I was listening too. He was saying that Tony performs better than Rogers when his team is behind. Numbers don't lie. Rogers skill set is better than Tony. Rogers is exceptional when he has the lead, but is not as good when he has to come back from a deficit. Tony has a better record than Rogers bringing his team back from a deficit. Numbers don't lie. Rogers is more talented than Tony. But Tony has a better record of bringing his team back from 7 points or less.

wow 3 more Super Bowls. Silly Jerry. why didn't you trade the farm? Rogers to Bryant forever. All those scrubs we signed last season on the Dline...they could have rings on each finger. No need to have any 1st day picks when Rodgers is in our neighborhood!

Very true. And Colin was getting bashed in the emails he said, so he tried to clarify that he was not saying that Rodgers isnt super talented or very good, its just the 4th quarter when trailing. Didnt he say something like, "listen to what I say, not what you think Im saying or what you want to hear?" And he was just saying the media just ignores this when it comes to Rodgers.

Exactly. Any football discussion develops flaws as soon as the concept of team is omitted or ignored.

As far as Cowherd is concerned, he was discussing fourth quarter performance. If I recall correctly, he also mentioned several other quarterbacks in addition to Romo. I'm not certain that will matter much with Romo critics, but I thought I would post that little tidbit too.

I like Rodgers better too.
But you have to be one the dimmest posters to grace this site in some time.
Take a bow. It's kind of an honor, given the competition.
