Rotoworld: NFL's Best QB Situations...

[Section446]

http://www.rotoworld.com/articles/nfl/54208/57/nfls-best-qb-situations?pg=1

If we’re ranking quarterbacks, it isn’t close. Aaron Rodgersis the NFL’s best player. If we’re ranking quarterback situations … that could take a few thousand words. There’s little debate on football’s top signal callers. Rodgers, Tom Brady, Peyton Manning and Drew Brees have sat atop their lofty perches for years. But “years” is the key word here. How many do they have left? For Rodgers, the answer is plenty. For Brady and Manning, it’s unknown. That’s why having one of the league’s best quarterbacks doesn’t necessarily mean you have one of the best quarterback situations. There are variables beyond talent, with future production chief among them. This list will look dramatically different than a straightforward ranking based on 2015 expectations alone. Not that 2015 is completely discounted. Simply having a good quarterback locked down for one season is an achievement many teams can’t muster. But the focus is on the future, particularly the next 3-5 years.

13. Cowboys, Tony Romo
Tony Romo has never been better, but as is the case with everyone reading this article, he’s also never been older. Romo had a career-year at age 34, but only after undergoing back surgery each of the previous two offseasons. Amazingly, he missed just one game after suffering a “minor” back fracture in Week 8. Romo’s toughness is legendary, but how many more hits can the 35 year old take? Jerry Jones thinks five years worth. We’ll go with 2-3. The Cowboys will have a top-eight quarterback for however long Romo can stay on the field, but his injury risk means it might not be for as long as ol’ Jer would like.

Isn't that true with every QB???

 

[Ender]

After last season, how could anyone honestly say Peyton Manning is better than Tony Romo?

Or Drew Brees.

Who would rather have him, Matt Ryan, Flacco, Eli, Tannehill or Stafford right now over Romo, even considering age?

 

[jrumann59]

Detractors point to his turnovers as cause for concern, but just ask Brett Favre or Kurt Warner — you’ve got to risk some picks if you want to make some plays.

Unless its Romo its called "choking".

Or Drew Brees.

After last year, Romo...

 

[CATCH17]

After Brady, Rodgers, and Manning the debate is between Romo, Luck, and Brees.

For me, as of now, Romo is 1st and Luck is 2nd with Brees 3.

Now if my team is completely reliant on passing the football I'd take Brees over Romo and Luck but if my team has any balance at all I'm taking Luck and Romo.

 

[Tabascocat]

Can't really argue with this except the top 8 part. I assume he means that in any given season, that Romo is somewhere in the top 8 ranging from 1 to 8? I didn't take it to mean that he is ranked right at #8.

Yes, he is indeed older but so is every other QB and Romo is younger than Manning, Brees and Brady, so not sure why he only mentions his age and not the others.

BREAKING NEWS! This just came in across our newswire folks. According to various sources around the league, every player will be older than they were last year. Back to you BDC.

This Romo guy has an MVP Season and all of a sudden hes the question mark by fans and media and gets no credit for what he has been able to accomplish. The UDFA who put the most
polarizing franchise in history on his back. Guess i shouldnt be surprised.

Manning old *** is not in front of romo

 

[Idgit]

Top 8, top 3. It doesn't matter. If he can keep leading the top 8 in terms of his performance, he's good enough to win a Superbowl with. That's all you really need out of your QB. As far as I'm concerned, Rodgers is the only guy I think it definitely better than Tony is right now, anyway.

 

[CATCH17]

Manning old *** is not in front of romo

Manning Old *** threw for 4700 yards and 39 Touchdowns last year.

He is still a cut above Romo.

He is still a cut above Romo.

From the month of December on he was washed, and it carried on into the playoffs. Dude is too old, he threw 15 INT Had a lower passer rating lower completion percentage and lower YPA and threw the ball 150 more times than Romo. Father time catches up to us all eventually and peyton was it's latest victim. His old *** ain't better than Romo anymore.
