I thought the same thing...*keeps an eye on the sky to make sure it doesn't fall* haha

INTs or not, you look at them as quarterbacks, you'd have to be comatose, a Commanders fan or an ESPN analyst to not see that Romo is the better "quarterback." They were comparing them as "quarterbacks" so Romo is BY FAR the better quarterback.

The one thing they have in common is lax ball security when running/scrambling. But it's not a big part of Romo's game; he *can* rely on his arm. The reason Vick has the rushing numbers he has is because he can't always depend on what he calls an arm.

Why not compare Michael Vick to Tom Brady over their last 67 games:

Brady: 1421/2235 17005yds 133TDs 50INTs 29 Fumbles-16 Lost

Why not compare Vick to a QB that's more his style like Donovan McNabb? Typical ESPN trying to make drama where there's no drama to be had.

Donovan McNabb is not even Vick's style. Donovan McNabb can actually play the quarterback position pretty well. Mike Vick was simply a freak athlete taking the snap.

Somehow I think your post will be overlooked and everyone will just move on dissing Herm. But if you go back and listen to the segment, Herm never said that he would take Vick over Romo. He said he would take Vick over Favre, and so would I. In regards to Romo, he pointed out the fact that Vick has two playoff victories while Romo still is looking for his first. Romo is under the microscope and will be until he proves that he can handle the pressure and win a playoff game.

One thing that I can say abour Romo in comparision to Vick, they both put the ball on the ground an awful lot, and if Romo ever wants to become an elite QB, he needs to correct that flaw.
Romo did not belong in this discussion. His lack of playoff victories has absolutely nothing to do with Michael Vick. There is no logic to the comparison. None. Why did he choose Romo as opposed to any of the other 31 starting QBs in the league?

Because he was saying that Vick has accomplished something that one of the better QB's in the league (Romo) has yet to do. He could have used someone like Jason Campbell, but nobody really thinks of him as an elite QB.

He was simply saying that Vick is still better than some of the other starters in the NFL by stating one of the advantages he has over one of the best. I don't think Herms would be dumb enough to start Vick over Romo though.

------------------------------

If it comes down to Romo vs Vick vs Favre there should be one clear answer.

But we all know there are some who would take Vick over Romo.

And they are nuts.
Your boy has no play off wins, comparison over.

LOL

so according to herm, of all the teams in the league and all the qbs in the league, its Dallas that needs a new qb and Vick knows how to win more than romo..

LOL....Herm!!!! You know who doesnt know how to win, Herm edwards and Carl peterson, that coupling had a 110% chance of failing!

A couple things we know about vick, He Likes drugs, particularly Weed, he likes trouble, He is a complete Liar, He has a poor choice in friends and he is basically A really really really really bad guy.
And Wade knows how to win? Since when?


For your last comment - Vick's a bad guy just like Irvin (3 super bowl victories) Mark Stepnowski sp? ( Super bowl winner ) I could go on, but if want to live in a place where their's no sin, try moving to heaven if you can find it.

1 thing we know about Romo - He can't win the big games

Teams that should look to sign Vick:
St. Louis Rams - Bulger has been terrible the last few years and his career is obviously on the decline.

Seattle Seahawks - Hasselbeck is one of the best when healthy, but he hasn't been healthy much recently. Vick is Seneca Wallace x 5.

Minnesota Vikings - Probably the best fit for Vick would be a run-first team like Minnesota. Tarvaris Jackson and John David Booty are just plain....booty.

Carolina Panthers - Delhomme cannot be depended on. He is a turnover machine. At least Vick can pick up a few yards running before he fumbles.

Denver Broncos - Kyle Orton? Chris Sims? Seriously?
