If he didn't play for our rivals the Giants, you'd be right where I am. There's no way around it.

Then how come a whole lot of other fans from other teams say the same thing?

Go back to the Giants where you belong

Romo has out played most of those quarterbacks in the last few years... this is ridiculous.

Winning two super bowls? So every individual player on that team should be a 97 then right?

They're basically an all star team....

They barely one the NFC East. Romo threw MORE touchdowns, and LESS interceptions...

Romo is 3rd in percentage of passes completed.
7th in yards per attempt.
5th in touchdowns.
Only Rodgers has more touchdowns and less interceptions than Romo.
9th in yards per game...

The idea that somehow this is the 9th overall ranked guy... when 9th is really the lowest you'll see him on the stat sheet... is pretty ridiculous...

Oh, come now. I have every right to place Eli Manning ahead of other NFL QBs, and that has nothing to do with me devotion to the Cowboys. If you think it does, then that just shows how incompetent you really are.

Whoa, calm down man. He's stating his opinion, no need to jump down his throat.

He wants me to automatically respect him because he has been a member here for several years and I'm new. Another one of those self-entitled, know-it-all types. He can go pull that **** on someone else. I'm not your typical spineless idiot of a sports fan.

I tend to agree with this. We've gotta remember that these are about his video game attributes. No way in hell Eli should be 7 points higher.

Looks about right, a little wiggle room but until he wins at least 2 playoff games in a row don't expect respect

Eli has his struggles early in the season, but he gets hot when it matters - the postseason. He has one more than his brother, and two more than Philip and Tony. Big Ben has two as well, but I credit that more towards the defense and running game since I watched both of their Super Bowl runs with my own eyes. Eli had to make some crazy-clutch passes to get his rings.
Clutch? Did you watch the SF game? I don't know how you can say that Roeth won his because of defense and not say the same thing about Eli...

And you do realize that Tony's passer rating in the 4th quarter is 18 and in OT like 50 points higher right?

This whole notion that Eli is clutch is just baffling to me.

I stand by my previous statement. And again, their defense didn't make that throw to David Tyree in 2007. I do know that Romo is constantly improving his game, and I expect him to outplay Eli in the postseason this year, as I see an NFC title game appearance this year happening.

You know, these ratings don't stick for the duration of the season right? EA updates their rosters and ratings throughout the season.

Depending on Romo's performance, he'll get a bump up or down in overall rating.

Afterall, this is a videogame we are talking about people. Even in last year's Madden you could edit your players in Franchise Mode.

If you don't like the rating they give him, just go edit it and be done with it.

Romo has been grossly overrated by for years... updates or not.

Rivers!? Eli!? Neither of these guys are better than Romo. At least Stafford got the respect he deserves

I have a dream.

A dream where football fans will weigh individual talent along with team accomplishments equally.















Yeah. Pipe dream.

You disagreed with me - now you're taking a shot at my sports knowledge. Nice. I would think somebody of your age - pushing sixty as it is - would be able to handle somebody elses opinion without crying like a little *****. And I see you're an ammo inspector. Now tell me, what kind of pocket change do you round in each year from that, hmm? $20,000? $30,000? Because I have a job that doesn't sound like the title of a Larry the Cable Guy movie. And I border six-figures doing real work. I'm not a cynical, aging man stuck in the depressing state of New Mexico, with nothing to do but make an *** of myself on an internet forum. Pathetic.

Alright already.

Sheesh.

Totally unilateral observation/suggestion: If another member's comments are getting on your last nerve, try placing that member on ignore or take the conversation to private messaging.
