Well there's a couple thing I think bears mentioning:
- Romo just hit 4 game mark which is about what it takes DC to catch up with the tendencies of a player. Compare Rex' first 4 games vs Romo's and I think we'll see rex kills 'em
- I'd expect Romo to be more polished (and the same goes for Phillips) then Rex. Those guys spent the same amount of time on the bench but the big difference is that those goes got ACTUAL reps in practice. Rex spent 2 years rehabbing and not getting reps. Mental reps are good but actual practice reps even if they are sparing, are far, far better.
- Romo has Terry Glen, Terrell Owens, AND Eric Witten. Phillips has two of the best are their position LT and Gates. It's a lot easier to be an elite QB when the supporting skill players are Borderline HoF'ers mixed with the elite @ their respective positions. Say what you will but Rex really has only Moose. The rest are above average but not elite except for when Rex delivers them the ball which makes them look like all-pros.
