To me there are only two elite QB's playing

[FloridaRob]

Why isn't Romo in their class? The dude LED the league in QBR and completion percentage a season ago. Threw only nine interceptions. Three of which came on opening day. This ridiculous logic that Romo isn't clutch is absurd. He LEADS the league in fourth quarter comebacks since 2006. How is that not clutch? Every quarterback has boneheaded plays. Even the great Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers. That's part of playing the position. Any great quarterback is gonna throw interceptions, but they also can lead their teams and carry them just like Tony has for years.

QBR? That lame stat the ESPN developed and have already tweaked this year because they realized how inaccurate it is. That QBR? The QBR that says Teddy Bridewater and Marcus Mariota and a few others are having better years than Rodgers and Brady. That QBR. Look Romo is a very good QB and he had a great year last year. Any team except New England and Green Bay would love to have him . But his body of work (not just last year) doesnt come close to either of those guys. But if you want to believe it, knock yourself out. Just know you are in the minority that only includes other Cowboy fans.

Bottom line is that if Tyron Smith does not gain about 30 lbs, he is for all intents and purposes too light to be a QUALITY starting tackle in the NFL.

As I said, find a good one that is less than 300. Matter of fact I think you have to go to around 310.

And with his lean body type its questionable that he can gain that weight without losing his quickness and flexibility; and its been common talk around USC that he ends the year lighter than he starts it; keeping the weight he has now has been hard for him


And USC has one of the best weight programs around; this is not Podunk U here

Fat is not good for quickness.

As regards sources its been a common topic on the USC boards and its been mentioned by his O Line coach.

I am NOT taking him at #9 for someone who hasn't PLAYED at that weight or showed he CAN maintain that wt. I WON'T take a developmental prospect at #9.

I wish this board had a button to "dislike" posts.

Romo has been pretty good but he is not in Brady or Rodgers class. I would say he is in the same class as Brees prior to this year. He plays very well but he is also likely to do something stupid during two or three games a year. Brady and Rodgers just dont do anything stupid. EVER.

I just cracked up laughing at this lie.

 

[FloridaRob]

Oh ok, Romo is every bit as efficient and quality of QB as Rodgers(sarcasm) And with that same logic then Jordy Nelson is in the same tier of WR as Dez, Larry Fitzgerald, Julio Jones and Calvin Johnson. After all, Jordy runs great routes, has great hands, and is just as reliable as those guys. Jordy is a pro bowler. There is no difference. (sarcasm again)

God help the NFL if Rodgers had a Dez, Fitz, Julio, or Calvin Johnson to throw to. It really would not be fair then.

 

[basstapp]

I think you could argue that Palmer is playing at that level as well.

I guess there must be a reason you felt the need to post this in Cowboys Zone. But I can't think of one.

In his defense he posted it in the NFL Zone portion of this site, which is where teams other than the Cowboys get discussed. No need to get your panties in a bunch just because you don't like it.

That was a big concern before we took him. Everything I said had been true - his inability to keep weight on. He proved me wrong- which also calls into question just how good USC's weight program was at that time - I thought it was one of the best- maybe not. As it turned out he was able to up his weight while maintaining his quickness. Something that does n ot always happen.

Now you just once again exposed just how much you DO NOT KNOW ABOUT FOOTBALL.

you just claimed Tom Brady and Rodgers never have done anything stupid? Do you get just how dumb that makes YOU look?

I always get my panties in a bunch when someone disses my Cowboys. I don't care where they post it.

I'd like to see how ellite Brady is behind the Cowboys OL the past 10 years and outside the cheating Pats organization, and how elite he is having to play under pressure from the DL, while not knowing what plays are coming.

and without BB as his coach. Brady has been incredibly lucky where and when he played.

Let me say that throwing a pick six is stupid. I may have misspoke in regard to Brady. I do not watch all his games. But lets compare pick sixes to between Rodgers and Romo. How many has Romo thrown? I dont know the answer to that question but I do know how many Rodgers has thrown. None since his first year as a starter in Tampa Bay. That was like 7 or 8 years ago. How many has Romo thrown? That is what I mean by doing something stupid. Romo can be counted on to do that a lot more regularly than Rodgers. How he compares to Brady I dont know but I would say that Romo probably beat him in that.

Now if you want to compare Romo to Favre-you have a case. Brett always did something stupid.

Haha I could careless what other Cowboy fans. These are the same people that have wanted Romo gone for years. His body of work is that a joke? Romo has a good a body of work as anyone. QBR isn't the only stat that shows Romo is elite. He's been up there every year in completion percentage, QB rating, TD to INT ratio, comeback wins, and passing yards. This is a guy for basically the first eight years of his career had to play without a consistent run game, was constantly getting knocked around due to lack of quality pass protection, and pretty bad play calling. If you don't think Romo was as good any quarterback last season then I can't take you seriously. The dude was lights out especially when it mattered most in December.

Still trying to distract everyone from Rodgers HORRENDOUS comeback (or more accurately lack of comeback) record?

Don't forget the most damning accusation that got very little press, which is the Pats operating at different frequencies to communicate to Brady via his helmet after the 15 second cut-off period..

And you wonder why Goodell proposed, while Spectre was breathing down his neck, certain rules to protect the 'integrity' of the game such as random spot-checks of the coaches booths during the game, including the communication equipment between coaches and players.

This is all documented in various articles.. Like I said, if Ted Kennedy, the buddy and Kraft and Goodell didn't get involved, Spectre could have made it a lot worse.
