Separated at Birth: Russell Wilson and Tony Romo

[Section446]

I did, and look how he responds...with another declaration that Romo is a "12-15 QB." Of course, again, with nothing substantive.

Oh come on, you've not yet simply asked why I have the opinion I do. You've chosen to go with the personal attack route.

 

[Section446]

Just as I thought. Thank you for proving that you have no idea what you're talking about.

And it's "your." Good try though.

Haha, now you're a typo-**** as well? You're funny... What kind of degree do you have, kid? When you're ready to have an adult conversation about football, let me know.

I have asked you several times to back up your point. Deflect, deflect, deflect...

 

[DallasCowboysRule!]

I can break it down for you all day, but there's no changing your mind. Your zealous approach to the topic shows that you clearly have no intention of listening to reason. You've got a lot of pent up anger, kid.

Please, feel free to break it down for the rest of us then because I think you're off your rocker.

[RoyTheHammer]

Alright, enough back and forth.. let's just hear the reasoning why we think Wilson is better, please.

 

[CowboyStar88]

Eh, it's comical.

Actually your claim is way more comical. It was nonsense and has the 4th highest passer rating over the last couple of years. Just saw the stat today on NFLN. 12-15 at best? Please put romo on a team with a defense and he wins a championship. It's sad that the talent in this team is wasted by the coaching. But to sit there with a straight face and say Wilson is already better then Romo is just nonsense. Some of you people just forget what he was and where he came from. He wasn't drafted was a divIII QB and was invited to the combine and was one of the only QBs to stay and throw for all the drills. From where he came from he is a heck of a QB. He's going to be a 10+ plus starter in the league.

So yes your post is comical. I should really start using the ignore feature on this board. 11 years later and the nonsense on this board is getting worse by the day.

It's gotta be at an all time high this year in craziness with all the guaranteed loses and Sean Lee is the stupidest player stuff the romo crap the twill is a bust and the cut mo stuff. What a shame this board use to be so great! It's driven many of the original posters who've been here for years away. I wish they would get a handle on it.

 

[dstovall5]

He's a 12-15 type QB in the league, nothing more.

Really? The only QBs you could make a case who are better right now are Stafford, Ryan, Bree's, Brady, Manning, Rodgers, Rivers, and Luck. Rg3? Please. Wilson? If we're rating who's the bigger bus driver, then ok. Flacco? What has he done now that his team isn't as stellar, oh that's right, nothing. Roethlisberger? Please, I love Ben, but he's nothing more then an above average QB who has benefitted greatly from his TEAM. Kaepernick? Have you seen his team? Eli? The average QB who's whole team got red hot during 2 playoff runs, not to even mention the miracle catch.

Romo has been on a team with a defense.. no championship.

 

[TheRomoSexual]

Alright, enough back and forth.. let's just hear the reasoning why we think Wilson is better, please.

He won't respond. But I certainly will...

Wilson before tonight:
97 comp 158 att 61.4 comp. % 1,254 yrds 8 TDs 92.6 QBR
Romo:



153 comp. 218 att. 1,693 yards 70.2 comp. % 14 TDs 108.6 QBR

They are so absurdly dissimilar it's almost laughable.

Stafford? Whaaa..

 

[kilz]

Alright, enough back and forth.. let's just hear the reasoning why we think Wilson is better, please.

The OP was about Romo's and Wilson's similarities behind the line of scrimmage when under pressure. I believe they have an uncanny similarity in the way they avoid the sack and throw on the move.

To answer your question:

Romo Pros
- Quick release, decision making, and accuracy

Wilson Pros
- Speed/Quickness, down field rushing, and leadership for such a young player

 

[dstovall5]

Stafford? Whaaa..

Stafford? Whaaa..

I don't think he's better, but you could make a case, he does have a cannon arm. Regardless, There's only 6-8 QBs right NOW in this league you could make a case that they're better then Romo, not "12-15 QBs", that's just asinine.

 

[hornitosmonster]

Still waiting for the troll to back up his claim with facts. And so what if he has season tickets, he probably sells them to Eagles fans

 

[Section446]

Please, feel free to break it down for the rest of us then because I think you're off your rocker.

Hey, someone who wants to have a decent conversation about football.

I've enjoyed watching Wilson play since his final season at Wisconson. I honestly didn't know who he was going into his final season, but caught the first game of the year, and was thoroughly impressed with what I saw. I decided that I wouldn't miss another game, and I'm glad I didn't. Wilson, to me, is a guy who has ice water running through his veins. Not that he is Tiger Woods, but he seems to have the same mental toughness Tiger did when he was younger, the look of someone who isn't phased by anything. I've managed to catch every game of Wilson's since he's entered the league, and that aspect of him hasn't changed a bit. Wilson is a phenomenal athlete, especially for a QB. He has the ability to turn nothing into a huge play, he's a great decision maker, and has been THE leader of the team since day one.

His arm strength and accuracy are up there with anyone in the league, his speed and agility is up there with anyone in the league, and I truly don't think that Seattle would be as dominant as they are without him. As for the conversation of him vs. Romo. Romo is also a great athlete, while he's not the same kind of athlete, he has a way of making things happen when there's nothing there, just like Wilson. He's got a great arm, he's got great accuracy. Where I think Wilson sets himself apart is decision making, and the mental toughness. While I recognize that it takes a certain level of mental toughness to make it to the point of being a starting NFL QB, there's a certain "it-factor", and you either have it, or you don't. Having watched Wilson for the past three seasons (last year at Wisconson, two in Seattle), I'm confident that he has "it" mentally. Sadly, in his first year as a Seahawk, he's already surpassed Romo in playoff wins. GRANTED, he does have the better defense, but I'd argue that he has less to work with on offense than Romo does (minus Lynch).

If Romo was 24 years old, I'd be extremely optimistic about him being a champion at some point, unfortunately, the reality is that the guy is in his twilight years, and at this point in his career, he simply is what he is. He's a guy that puts up some amazing numbers, there's no denying that. But he's also a guy that just doesn't always get it done when it counts (Broncos game, Commanders game, etc...). With a guy his age, I just don't think that you can teach an old dog new tricks (very cliche, I know). Is he a bad QB? Absolutely not. Would 20 or so other teams welcome him with open arms? Absolutely. Is he a championship caliber QB? I honestly don't think so. I really just don't think that he has that cerebral mentality that you need to carry a team to a Super Bowl, and in Dallas, the ring is all that counts, it's what sets us apart from the Buffalo's, Cleveland's, and Jacksonville's of the world.

To be fair, that didn't answer his question whatsoever.

Do I sense an inferiority complex kicking in?

Stafford is one piece of lettuce short of being moved to the OL.

I agree with you though, haha.

He won't, and his only defender is "Zordon."

HAHAHAHAHA, just as I thought. Pathetic.
