Romo or Brees

[RJ_MacReady]

Brees. One of the best, most consistent QB's I've ever watched play the game.

 

[Blackspider214]

Romo. Romo didnt fail in SD. Romo didnt fail on his own, he had to battle an FO as well. If Sean Payton doesnt give Brees a second chance, doubt many do.

So because Brees didn't do well in his first team, he's worse? Lmao. How about Romo's failures with his only team? He had plenty. 0-3 in divisional round games. But yes, lets keep moving the goal posts and making excuses for a middle of the pact QB who gets severely overrated by Cowboys fans. Not all, though. But many.

It is hard to compare the two. One has had a coach capable of getting his team to a SBmost of his career while the other never did. I believe Romo would have won even more SB's than Brees in NO under Payton while Brees would have had similar lack of success here under Garrett. #coachingmatters

Yes sir. It suks Romo didn’t have a better team, coaching staffs or front offices.

If he had he probably would have never had an opportunity to play. Just saying..

But we can’t hold that against Brees he had more opportunities with better teams, coaching staffs, etc. Brees made the most of it.

I would argue that Romo had similar accuracy and touch and added better mobility and elusiveness(not to mention height). Much of this fan base really did not deserve Romo... I wonder what could have been had he been traded to the Saints when Sean Payton wanted him.

The biggest shame is that Jerry let Payton out the door. Sean Payton as the Dallas head coach after Parcells probably makes some deep runs

Bravo

Your trying to frame the argument now.

I stated in a following post they had some similarities but their career marks don’t. For a couple seasons was Romo possibly in the same league . Yea maybe. I’ll give you that.

Like I mentioned above I can’t imagine anyone but some Cowboy fans who’d take Romo over Brees. But your certainly entitled to your opinion.

I wonder how many fans across the league would take Romo over Brees?

Did you even read the OP? Obviously not.

 

[ShiningStar]

Was San Diego's FO all that.

Brees is allowed excuses, not Romo, cool.

If you take out Cowboys and Saints fans and asked other NFL fans who’s better they would say Brees. I’m a huge Cowboys fan. But in all fairness, Brees is better.

Btw, one big area Brees betters Romo is durability. No knock on TR but he missed a ton of games due to injury where Brees has been very durable for his long career. Talent doesn’t mean as much if you can’t stay on the field.

XD?

Hmm... I wonder if Romo hadn't started out as a mobile quarterback, if his longevity would've been better. XD well then again, some of those years when the Cowboys had one of the worst offensive lines, that would've killed just about any quarterback's longevity.

 

[TheCoolFan]

Gimme Brees. Don't underestimate the importance of durability in a franchise QB - he's only missed 2 games in 12 years with the Saints.

and again, what did Brees do with SD? Keep in mind, Brees was drafted. and what did SD get to show for it?

I understand but these threads often deter and I was responding to using this ranking system which I believe is obviously flawed.

I went on in another post to address the OP.

I didn’t mean to snap at you but I’ve seen some fans use this ranking to place Romo like he was one of the GOAT which is IMO totally flawed.

 

[MCMetal69]

How ironic that Brees' season this year came to a painful end much like most of Romo's seasons because his defense let him down.................

 

[GenoT]

Repeat what I said. If I compare two players from the year 2070 who have 140 ratings, as long as they are from the same time period who cares?

SB wins — even in 2070 — will always matter more than QB rating.

People will remember Drew Brees because he was a champion; they’ll forget Tony Romo because he was not (chronic Romoholics excepted ).

It’s fine... like I said I compared the ratings of two guys who played in the same era. The thread is about who was better on the field, and in their primes. I don’t why anyone would say that Romo is really even close to Brees from a career standpoint.

 

[Diehardblues]

He made the Pro Bowl one season in San Diego before his injury then signed with Saints as FA.

Chargers decided to let him go. Was afraid to give second contract because of injury history.

as did many teams. If Payton wasnt a QB genius , Brees has a tougher road.

Of course.

My interpretation was who would you choose as your QB? And who was better?You have to compare careers when making that evaluation.

 

[Diehardblues]

Brees has the talent taken in 1st round but was often injured in San Diego. Saints took a chance he could remain healthy. The raw talent was always there.

 

[Gangsta Spanksta]

And I find that to be BS. Teams win and lose. Period. It's absurd to believe individual players do in a game where 22 are on the field at the same time and all are off the field half the time.

What did people used to say about John Elway and those Superbowls of his in the 80's? Granted that he didn't win those, but back in the day people would say that it was all him, carrying the team to those bowls. Also, it doesn't just have to be a team having a single player on it, but I do think there are some players that win you championship, because they have that it factor to win championships. anyway just a personal belief of mines I guess.

Id take Brees too, but Romo certainly was not a middle of the pack QB
