Toomer: Romo better than Eli

[SportsGuru80]

Give me Romo with a real defense and a respectable offensive line.

You want him to be traded?

Now that Eli has to play with Bennett, Tony will definatly be better.

 

[Zman5]

Well played.

:romothumbsup:

 

[theogt]

And for the record, until Tony wins a SB, the correct answer is Eli.

That's just dumb.

 

[Idgit]

That's just dumb.

It was. I just didn't have the energy to point it out yet again, so I'm glad you did.

 

[Big Blue Joe]

Then Eli is better than Marino was.

Marino threw at least one interception in 13 of his 18 career playoff games. He threw two or more interceptions 10 times. The Dolphins went just 1-9 in those 10 Marino multi-interception playoff games.

Road and Neutral Field Playoff Stats-
Dan Marino (1-7):
Comp 180
Att 336
Yds 2000
TD's 11
INT's 13
QBR 66.3

Eli Manning (7-1):
Comp 171
Att 277
Yds 1957
TD's 14
INT's 3
QBR 95.3

You are right. I would also choose players like Trent Dilfer, Brad Johnson, and Doug Williams over the others like Warren Moon, Dan Marino, and Jim Kelly. I mean its obvious, Superbowl Rings tell all.

Hey! I'll cherry-pick the exceptions and pretend it invalidates the rule!

 

[KB1122]

BTW, what has Tony Romo done to earn comparisons to Dan Marino? Marino was an all-pro 3 times and an MVP and holds NFL records.

 

[KB1122]

Eli is a better quarterback, a less consistent quarterback, but one with a higher ceiling than Romo. He can also make plays downfield. He's one of those quarterbacks that statistics have a hard time measuring his ability. He's the better quarterback.

Romo has been a very consistent very good quarterback. That's admirable. But Eli has the talent to be a great quarterback, and as he ages, he reaches that point more often.

Former Giants WR Amani Toomer is on Sirius, saying Tony Romo is a better quarterback than Eli Manning. Agree?

Ah, another Romo validation, or hopes thereof, thread, I see.

 

[kristie]

Now that Eli has to play with Bennett, Tony will definatly be better.

oh yes.

 

[durrrr]

If rings don't matter only stats do then your saying Pennington, Brunell,McNabb Culpepper and a bunch of other QBs are better then Staubach and Aikman,right.Come on rings do matter.

What an incredibly flawed rebuttal.

 

[Real1st]

No way he is better then Eli.

 

[ufcrules1]

I think Romo has shown consistentcy in his play more so than Eli. Not by accident that Romo has never been under 90 in terms of QB ratings. Eli clearly has the hardware but as I have said before his teammates played a big role in that on both sides of the ball, I take nothing away from Eli but he has had some pretty poor seasons to go along with the hardware

That ole lucky Eli and his 2 silly superbowl MVP awards... all because of the players around him.

Yeah, let's just keep talking about QB rating stats. Then we can hold on to the belief that Romo is better than Eli.

 

[Lodeus]

First MVP should have gone to a defensive player and so should have the second one.

Yeah right.

 

[Stash]

Yeah right.

Please tell us how Dilfer and Brad Johnson are better than Dan Marino?

I mean after all, they have rings and that bum doesn't?

How many SB MVP's did they win again?
Never use the exception for your argument rather then the rule. Kurt Warner was sacking grocery so that means we should stroll down to the nearest Kroger and work out all the sacker? The rule is if you are a qb that wins the Super Bowl MVP then you're probably more than a bus driver. Out of the 25 qbs that won the SB MVP only four were not considered great, Doug Williams, Jim Plunkett (who I personally think was pretty good), Mark Rypien, and Phil Simms.
