Hostile;3225966 said:Tony Romo's record in the post season is 1-2. So is Drew Brees. Brees has been starting in the NFL since 2002. That is a 4 year head start on Tony.
Tony has led 3 of his 4 teams to the playoffs. Tony's team has never finished last in their Division while he is the primary QB.
Brees has led 3 of his 8 teams to the playoffs. Brees' teams have finished last in their Division twice (2003 and 2008).
Tony's won - loss record is 38-17.
Brees won - loss record is 68-54.
Some will say it is because Brees puts up better stats. Romo threw more TDs in 2007 than Brees has in any season. Romo's INT % in 2009 is lower than in any season Brees played.
Not saying Brees is not a great QB. He is. The double standard applied is rather silly.
AbeBeta;3227491 said:Similar in the playoffs, but it would be hard to argue that Romo had a better season than Brees, which is what I expect they are basing this on.
The refs didn't turn the ball over.AMERICAS_FAN;3225983 said:Yeah? Who is Steve Young to talk? He hasn't proven jack **** either, unless of course you count winning a championship game that the refs guaranteed the 49ers in 94/95 vs. Dallas by calling one of the worst one-sided games Ive ever seen...or the fact that the NFL allowed the 49ers to circumvbent the cap illegally that year, by stockpiling free agents thay had no cap room for...or by letting the 49ers pay other players with under the table money that year to ***** the cap numbers. That's what it took that year to get the monkey off Steve Young's back. So he'a the last person to tell me about what it takes for a QB to win a Super Bowl.
jobberone;3227532 said:I'll take it a step further to add to jterrell's excellent post. Right now for the matchup this week I'd take Romo over Favre. I think Tony holds up under pressure better than Favre. If you don't get to either QB then they will pick you apart. Favre puts up INTs when pressured enough.
I'd take Warner over Romo for the next game except it will be played at home. I call that a push. I take Romo over Brees at NO (assuming in both instances we get by MN). I think Brees will wilt like Favre under the pressure. Give him time to throw and he'll pick you apart as well. In fact right now I'd rather have Brees than Favre.
So Romo can hold his own right now if you look at each game. Obviously Favre and Warner are both 1st ballot HOFs so career wise it isn't even close.
jterrell;3227512 said:I'd say that's right too but it makes zero sense.
If we base it on all year why not just pick the higher seed to win every game?
If TEAMS needs to be hot in December than QB do as well IMHO. I just don't see how you(SYoung) can apply one measure in one instance and than ignore it when slicing the pie.
The Panch;3226320 said:And??
We'd be very fortunate if Romo has the same type of career as Young did.
AbeBeta;3227557 said:I don't know that the "team" needs to be hot in December if they have so clearly dominated the league Sept-November that they have home field locked up
BTW Brees was hot in December 7 TD, 2 int, nearly 1300 yards passing, 103.7 PR.
Hostile;3226065 said:Hottest? Yes. Best? No.
Love the guy. Wanted him in 2004 over Vinny so bad it hurt. Manning is easily the best.
jterrell;3227617 said:While you may not KNOW that, the media loves to talk about it. The same media who rates these QBs.
Brees 103 rating is 6 points worse than the rest of the season. And that number is a bit misleading. He was atrocious in Dallas until the final drives where the game was largely in our favor then when it did get close he couldn't do anything again.
The team won by 3, won by 3, then lost two weeks in a row where the offense generated 17 points. That would be far from peaking.
Brees also had two fumbles lost against us in December that do not count against his QB rating.
If Brees had simply sat out week 17 after beating people up weeks 15 and 16 you might have a point but that isn't the case. He lead them to 17 points per week in two losses before sitting out and that makes him pretty much ice cold by the standards of this list. Anyone ranking him first is in short nuts.

Please. They did care about that game. They had all of their starters out there the entire game and played to win. They just haven't been that good and lost some momentum after we beat them.wileedog;3227822 said:You're making way to much of a Tampa game nobody on the team card about. And he still went 32 of 37 that game (86%) with 258 yards and a TD, so its hard to say that he didn't play well. The team mailed it in.
