Since NFL network has Luck in the top tier above Romo, a comparison!

[kramskoi]

I hate these " knock down a QB to elevate Romo threads".

Dude, it ain't to elevate anything...it's to verify the veracity of existing subjective opinion, when said subjective opinion can be exposed as fraudulent from a numbers perspective. I'm an iconoclast by nature, and will always be predisposed to point out the absurdities of subjective analysis in the absence of objective fact. But you see, that is the beauty of subjectivity...it does not require one iota of factual evidence to pose as someone's personal truth. Just because you believe something, does not necessarily make that belief a truth which can be supported by factual evidence.

# 5...a spot below Luck.

Well if they have Romo as a top 5 QB, it's hard to really complain, IMO.

Honestly I don't care if people think Romo is bette rthen Luck or vice versa. Romo is at his best when he is disrespected, so I say drop him down a few more spots

 

[LandryFan]

Take all those stats and then take this stat

Andrew Luck 3rd season
Tony Romo 12th season

Give me luck every time.,

Very easy for you to take him every time...go be a colts fan!

 

[casmith07]

They're both good quarterbacks. The only difference is Luck has had the sports media riding shotgun in his jockstrap since his junior year of ball at Stanford.

No complaints here...sometimes I just like to crunch some numbers.

 

[Animosity]

I said I wouldnt bash Romo aain this year

but honestly.. who would you rather have.. Luck or Romo? Let's be real.

 

[Slim_JD]

Luck can do no wrong it seems. He can lead the league in picks and still be called an elite qb.

Right now, Romo.....Luck would be nice to have in a few years though.

Season numbers to date:

Luck 19 TD....7 INT..2331 yds....100.5 rate
Romo 14 TD....6 INT...1789 yds...104.7 rate [3 picks in game one]

Inside the numbers, Romo is winning more than his share of these battles...that much should be pretty freakin' obvious.

I don't see how Luck is clearly superior to Romo...or FAR better as some in the thread have said. Looks like the opposite is true.

Luck is beating him in the second quarter, on throws between 11-20 yds and 1st half rating...not much else!

Luck is a good QB. But I would still take Romo over him. Romo has carried this team with no defense and no running attack for many years. If he had all of that prior to this year he would be in the top 5 QBs in the NFL.

People forget that Indy also has a pretty good defense which helps Luck out. Nothing against him. But if you surround Romo with good players he'll outperform most of these QBs that we keep reading about.

 

[ConstantReboot]

In the same sense, I hate when our own fans go out of their own way just to knock down Romo. I mean it's not like Romo dons the star right? Our fans knock Romo more then any other fan base, so it's nice to see Romo getting some love.

Totally agree. If they are so in love with Luck they might as well cheer for him. His a good QB. But right now I would take Romo over him.

 

[AKATheRake]

Who on Luck's o-line would you send to the pro bowl this year?

Murray > Richardson + Bradshaw.
Dez> Any of their WR's although Hilton and Wayne are good.
Witten> Allen, Fleener

I'm also sure Linehan is the better OC.

Luck has been to the playoffs every year he's been in the league and it looks like it is going to stay that way this season. Remember, the Colts got the #1 pick to get him because they stunk more than any other team in the league before he got there. Then he takes them to the playoffs his rookie year.

Luck has been to the pro bowl every year played and he's going to make it again this year.

Romo is no slouch but folks please, Andrew Luck is all hype? Best QB prospect to come out of College since Peyton Manning and he has not shown to be anything but the truth.

Luck is easily a top 5 QB in this league right now. He is more talented then Romo ever was. He is currently the better QB although Romo is not far behind playing wise right now in his current career.

But Andrew Luck is the better player, no if and's or buts about it.

 

[AKATheRake]

Luck is the better qb. But I'm very happy with the way romo has been playing. Luck is just one of those rare talents.

This is as dead on as it's going to get. From the 1st letter of the sentence typed to the period.

The Colts had Peyton Manning, spine or no spine. Possibly the greatest QB of all time.

They knew Luck is rare and we won't see a player coming out of college playing QB like him for the next decade to 15 years.

 

[AKATheRake]

Totally agree. If they are so in love with Luck they might as well cheer for him. His a good QB. But right now I would take Romo over him.

You ask the majority of personnel pro's, current and ex players which player out of all they would choose to start their team from today into the future?

80 percent + will tell you they would take Luck over anyone else. Peyton Manning is still playing.

It is what it is.

Of course anyone would take Luck only because he's younger. But we're talking right now. I'd take Romo. He's on a hot streak and on top of his game. Stats prove it and also his play on the field.

Romo is playing very well and making the big plays when we need him to. Absolutely!

But Romo clearly has a more dominant supporting cast and better overall team system being utilized around him.

I'm not taking anything away from Romo. He deserves a solid overall unit around him for once and for all to truly show the player he is. We don't need Luck, we got enough if we get a stud at DE. But if Andrew Luck played for this team? Within this offense?

It would be outright ridiculous. Beyond imagination my fellow Cowboys and Romo supporter.

We're talking Bugatti vs Porsche. I wish I owned a Porsche (it's possible I can have one) but a Bugatti is highly unlikely in this lifetime.

 

[JoeyBoy718]

Didn't people always excuse Romo for not having any help? Luck has been on an awful team his entire career and has carried them to the playoffs each time. Romo has a much better O-line, RB, WRs, TEs and O-coordinator, and Luck is still only 3 quarterback rating points behind him.

It worked for Favre.

It's more likely that the offense would morph back into the Chuck-ball show starring Andrew Luck. You keep Luck and give me balance that can be relied upon week after week, not outrageous passing attempts that you won't always get away with. Do any of the so called elite quarterbacks have potent, committed running games? I don't think any of them do because when the going gets tough, the arm starts ambulating...and as many times as is necessary to get the win...or facilitate the loss. YR said something chilling about the elite guys...namely, how they would prefer to have more receiving options, then a good offensive line or running game...just more options, that they may or may not have time to find...call it hero-ball, or whatever.

 

[muck4doo]

Did they have Eli and Flacoo above Romo? If not, who cares. Being in a top 5 list of(I'm guessing, I didn't see the list) P. Manning, Brady, Brees, Rodgers, Luck, and Romo isn't something to get worked up over. Oh wait, that's 6 QB's...Which of those got left out of the top 5?
