If Romo had Vicks skillset I doubt he could've played either. Just sayin...
That has to be the lamest excuse I've heard in awhile. It's not what Vick CAN do, it's what he CAN'T do. It's not that Romo doesn't have Vick's skillset, it's that Vick doesn't have Romo's skillset.
Romo's skillset allows him to...
a) Play with broken ribs
b) Win with broken ribs
Vick's skillset allows him to..
a) Sit down with broken ribs
b) Watch his team lose because he's sitting down with broken ribs.
And let's face it, all of the Vick supporters have sworn up and down that he is a very effective pocket passer. But you can't have it both ways. Because if he truly is an effective pocket passer, he could alter his game and stay in the pocket more and protect his ribs. Or he's a puss because he can't handle the pain in the way that Romo did. You decide.
