Yea, we got a whole thread here on that cap backwards stuff a couple of days ago.

Peyton is way better than Romo. Regardless of his ring, he's leaps and bounds better.

And has played behind a better O Line for the most part, and a D that doesn't give up 5 straight TD drives or blow 20 pt leads

 

[Supercowboy1986]

I think the punch line is that Peyton is 9-11 in "elimination games"

Trollolololol

 

[ufcrules1]

If the story ended now this is the reputations both will have. But the story is finished yet.

What if Romo does get a ring or two before he rides off into the sunset?

What if Peyton chokes again this year in the playoffs?

If you watch Romo play and think he has any chance whatsoever of getting a ring or 2, you would seriously be mistaken. His skills are 100% in a downward spiral, he can't suddenly get better, he just doesn't have it anymore. If Peyton chokes again it won't matter. He has done enough to already seal his legacy as one of the greatest of all times.

WHAT? You are seriously comparing Manning to Romo? I don't think words can describe just how laughable that is. Manning has his struggles at a level that Romo and the Cowboys cannot fathom, where the best of the best play to walk away with the trophy every year. His teams bulldoze their way to the playoffs while Romo and the Cowboys walk away almost every flipping December with the same dumbfounded looks on their faces. One playoff victory really compares to perennial playoffs, four, possibly five MVP trophies and two trips to the Superbowl?

I would do flipping cartwheels if Manning wore a Dallas uniform and took this team to the playoffs every single season, went to two Super-bowls and won one. Heck, he has more offensive player of the year awards than Romo has actual playoff games! His teams' fans have championship hope every single season while this teams fans cringe in the fourth quarter of every single game because they don't know from one game to the next if it will end with more fodder for Romo's critics to pile on.

Only a Cowboys fan would be crazy enough to try and compare Romo to Manning in any capacity except to laugh afterwards. It is insanity at it's finest.

Laughable but not surprising there are some that think he's better than Aikman and Elway as well LOL

No, really, you can't..

Grasping at straws here.. Big time.

You could put Peyton and Romo in same:

Category
Discussion
Stat columns

One other thing that they are close in is....

Chokes.

The only real difference is Peyton's teams haven't really choked ON THE WAY TO THE PLAYOFFS. They choke IN THE PLAYOFFS.

Romo's teams choke ON THE WAY TO THE PLAYOFFS.


Peyton and Romo's failures are a lot closer than you think.
You can dissect how different they are but the only real difference is one was #1 pick and one was undrafted.

That should actually be a "compliment" for Tony.


Peyton will do it (throw game losing pick(s))again,.... Real soon.

I have always said this, if Peyton Manning didn't win a super bowl we wouldn't hear much of nothing about Romo's failures it would be Manning tv all day everyday. Romo is the most accomplished qb to not have had much post season success.

 

[Future]

Romo's dating history >>>>>

 

[AKATheRake]

Peyton Manning has probably been in the playoffs like every year accept his rookie season and injury year or at least very near close to it. Romo what? 2 or 3 times made it to the playoffs?

How many division titles Manning has won while we falter year after year in make it or break it games to get into the playoffs and there's somehow a discussion of similarities between Manning and Romo when it comes to choking?

C'mon we're coming to this?

Hey Manning! Every year you're in the playoffs, you go deep, have been to 2 Super Bowls, how many conference championship games and you're just like Tony Romo who is rarely in the playoffs because him and his team choke every year to get into them.

Wow!

 

[Miller]

This conversation is laughable and I'm an actual Romo fan and a fan of him being QB here under another mentor.

Manning:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peyton_Manning

From 1998 to 2010, he led the Colts to eight (seven AFC South and one AFC East) division championships, two AFC championships, and one Super Bowl championship (Super Bowl XLI). He has won a record four league most valuable player awards,[1] was the most valuable player of Super Bowl XLI, has been named to twelve Pro Bowls, has twelve 4,000-yard passing seasons.

Re-read that. That is an incredible run. And that doesn't include Denver. He came in post surgery and has dominated at his age in Denver. The guy controls games. He manipulates teams. He changes teams fortunes. Has he choked some? Yes but with the exception of Montana in the playoffs and maybe a few more, no on has perfect runs through the playoffs every year they make it. The key is he ALWAYS has them in the mix.

Romo hs plenty of talent but you can sit here all day and compare stats, chokes and whatever and it won't matter because we haven't been lead anywhere. End of story. It isn't one ring to zero. Its the 50 things between those rings...being in it every year, stats, W-L records, playoff appearances, leading a team, mastering offenses, etc.

Exactimondo!

He could be the first QB to ever win it with 2 different teams and he's probably going to go down as statistically the best QB of all time.

If he wins another title with Denver arguably the best of all time. 2, then definitely the best of all time.

I like Romo but there is no way possible we will ever have that discussion about him.

It is what it is and what it is, is not even comparable in any regard of choking.

Post of the day for sure.

Possibly of the week, heck maybe season.

 

[DoctorChicken]

Tony Romo is "pretty good". If he had a good run game, good defense, etc, we'd have way more than 1 playoff win.

Peyton Manning is one of the greatest QBs of all time. They're not "the same".

 

[Deep_South]

Peyton Manning is arguably the greatest QB in the history of football. Comparing Peyton to Tony just because they are contemporaneous is pointless, IMO.
