I believe Romo is the best QB in the league. Maybe not "hands down", as there are some other very talented guys out there, savvy vets with strong arms and other masters in their own right throwing the ball. But, in terms of putting it all together in one package? I don't see anyone doing it with the completeness or to the level that Romo is doing it at.
You need a quarterback who can make all the throws? Check.
You need a quarterback who can throw with uncanny precision? Check.
You need a quarterback who can scramble, slide the pocket, buy time? Check.
I mean, he just does it all and does it all as good or better than anyone else in the game right now. He's got the quickest release in the league, quite possibly in league history. He has terrific escapability, even in the tightest of quarters and the closest of grasps. Sees the field. Great at coming back to his 4th and even 5th receiver. He thinks fast, and possesses the best improvisational skills of any current NFL QB.
Drew Brees is sick. Kurt Warner is playing like a Hall of Famer. Hell, Matt Ryan is going lights out in Atlanta. Eli Manning, my friends, is throwing the ball
very well. But in terms of the overall package?
I take Romo running away, and that includes when Tom Brady recovers from injury and Peyton Manning returns to form. I think Tony's tops in this league, and will be for some time.
Real glad he wears the Star!
