Tony Romo - Is he elite yet? (1 Viewer)

[Iwannabeacowboybaby!]

Trent Dilfer won a SB and Marino didn't but Marino is light years ahead of Dilfer as a QB. The SB thing only counts so far......you also have to throw in your own sports common sense.

Spare me the tired old Dilfer argument. I never said, "Roethlisberger is better than Romo JUST because he was won a Super Bowl." Big Ben is not some chump who got lucky to be QBing a team that had a for-the-ages defense that won him a Super Bowl; he is a stud QB whose play was integral to his team winning it all. I would prefer you focus on the arguments I did make. TIA.

Rothlesberger is not better than Romo just because his team won a SB nor is Rothlesberger better than every QB that didn't win one.

I agree. Link to where anyone said that was the reason, please?

As far as trying to convince you about Romo and Rothlesberger I'm not going to try. I've seen them both play many many times and when watching and evaluating their play, there's very little difference in how good each player is. They both can be outstanding and they both can screw up. If I had to choose one of them to play for me, it would be Romo, I'm sure you'd pick Ben but to think Ben is in a different class than Romo I think you're fooling yourself.

Sorry, but you cannot ignore the facts, and so far, the fact of the matter is that Tony Romo has not shown that he can end a season well and play well in the playoffs. Roethlisberger has. If you think that puts them in the same class, that is fine. That is your opinion, which you are entitled to, but I am not about to put a guy who is not a proven winner yet in the same class as a guy who IS a proven winner.And like I said before, it is extremely rare for a QB to be considered elite before he proves himself in the playoffs. Romo needs to step it up come playoff time before he is an elite QB. That is how I see it.

Romo isn't even close to elite. Take away TO, Witten, and MB3 and we'll see how good he is. Remember when Favre just had Driver? Yeah he wasn't very good then either. Supporting cast is HUGE. When Romo wins something then maybe he can be bumped up a bit, but saying he's elite is a complete joke at this point.

The bolded is a silly, silly statement as far as I'm concerned. Take away all his weapons and put garbage in there and then see if he can do the same thing? Is that kind of what you're saying......that a QB will only be elite if he can do it with nobody who's any good to throw too?I don't get it and I don't get the Farve comment. So is Farve not elite because he didn't have his best years with pretty much just Driver to throw to? He's ALWAYS been elite and you WILL have better years when you have better players around you.

Do you think Brady has just somehow matured and hit his peak this year? Or do you think he had his best year ever because his line was good and healthy, they he had Welker, Moss and Stallworth to throw to.

 

[pollardsvision]

depends on your definition of elite.

he can't sniff brady/manning/favre's jock-strap.

after that, he could be the best QB out of the rest of the QBs in the league.

there's alot left to figure out about romo.

one factor that's yet to be determined is how he'll do without TO. most of his career will be played without TO and we still don't know if he can be very good without him.
