Aggie Brown fan Posted August 28, 2015 Report Share Posted August 28, 2015 I got Romo about 15? Maybe a little higher.....that's it. This is just silly. In your first post, you said Romo "still mostly chokes". What games last season did he choke in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are talking about a career, not just one season. If we want to say who had the great seasons....then Derek Anderson could be on such a list. And let's face it....maybe he didn't swallow so hard last year....but he still has the choker gene in him As someone said: this will only end in heartache for you.

So even though you won't give me an example of him choking last season, you say he "still mostly chokes". Are you trolling? When you say stuff, it's easier to believe you when you can back it up with at least 1 fact or trend or piece of evidence. The dude is 14th all-time in career 4th q comebacks. That number would be higher if it weren't for Dallas shitty defenses turning his comebacks into Stafford's/Eli's/Peyton's/etc. comebacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zombo Posted August 28, 2015 Report Share Posted August 28, 2015 I already said Johnny's the best college player I've ever seen, so yeah, he's better than McCarron, who played on a much better team with studs at every position 3-deep.

Aggie Brown fan Posted August 28, 2015 Report Share Posted August 28, 2015 Really? How old are you? Zombo 48. I've already given my reasons and admitted my bias. I've already admitted Johnny has looked bad as a pro. Just remember, there was a reason for the over-the-top hype for him coming out of college.

When you say stuff, it's easier to believe you when you can back it up with at least 1 fact or trend or piece of evidence. First....I am a Browns fan....and cannot troll on a Browns board. Secondly....I posted my list of the Top QBs in the league somewhere above in that post. WTF is it about that list that you do not understand. All the guys I named ahead of Romo are guys that I would rather have at QB for my team right now. Read it and weep. (Would I rather have him at QB for the Browns than what we have?

(but I admit...I go back to the mid 60s) For fun/flash/excitement....sure JMZ is up there.....but that criteria is different from being "the best".

I don't know how else to prove it wrong other than to show the numbers and history, which is what I've done. The biggest game he lost was 2008 Giants in the playoffs. He did not choke that game. He played really well, but got the blame as qb. His receivers dropped 150 yards worth of passes, the defense made crucial mistakes at critical times, and his teammates got 15 penalties. He was running for his life most of the game, too, against a great Giants d-line, but I guess he should have blocked, tackled, and caught better in that game.

Aggie Brown fan Posted August 28, 2015 Report Share Posted August 28, 2015 I'm not saying he's perfect by any means. And I know he's made huge mistakes in 4th quarters, but what qb hasn't done that? The giants team that beat the cowboys in 2008 beat the Packers on an overtime fg, made after a Favre interception. Does that make Favre a choker?

The Gipper Posted August 31, 2015 Report Share Posted August 31, 2015 I would love to see how on earth 14 guys in the league currently have better resumes than Tony Romo. Resumes? Many have better resumes, several are just better even though they are still young: Russell Wilson Phillip Rivers Carson Palmer Peyton Manning Drew Brees Matt Stafford Cam Newton Joe Flacco Ben Roethlisberger Eli Manning Tom Brady 11 right there with better "resumes".....and these are young QBs that I think are better: Kaepernick Nick Foles Andrew Luck Matt Ryan I put Romo essentially in the same category as Jay Cutler, Andy Dalton, Alex Smith, Tannehill Very young QBs with potential that I would take for my team right now over Romo Blake Bortles Jameis Winston Teddy Bridgwater Derek Carr Marcus Mariota Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really? At least you finally put something relevant instead of "Romo is a choker". Romo's resume is that he is #2 all-time in QBR. He is BEST IN THE LEAGUE in the last two minutes and overtime. You are so quick to dismiss this as meaningless stats, and "he is a choker". Fine, but how do you then put Matt Ryan, Carson Palmer and Matthew Stafford ahead of him? They have worse numbers statistically AND have worse playoff resumes. I'll answer for you. There is no logical answer. Either you just don't like Romo or you hate the Cowboys or you hate Jerry Jones or some other emotional reason. Based on "resumes", your list makes no logical sense without Romo on it.

I just gave you 11 qbs with as good or better resumes.....orI gave you guys that I think are better than Romo. And its not that I don't like Romo per se.....its just that I would take ALL the guys I mentioned over him. Like I said, to me, he is in a category with Cutler, Dalton, Smith. That is where he belongs, be happy with that. At least I didn't say I would take RGIII over him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You must be because you apparently can't understand the words I am typing on this page......There are 15 QBs in this league that I would take for my team right now before I would choose Romo. As far as I know I am speaking English, and not Farsi or Tagalog and many of the ones below are there because they are still in the developmental stage. Romo is 35 years old.....past the developmental stage. Would I take him on the Browns over what we have? Yea. Again,you should be happy with that. THIS IS THE 2015 LIST, THIS ISN'T ABOUT HOW GOOD BORTLES WILL BE IN 5 YEARS. No....this is about who I would want quarterbacking my team. I would take Bortles/Winston/Mariota etc. for my team even right here and right now (because of what the future may hold) Look....you love Romo.....maybe he will go away with you to Cabo someday. I will take all the other guys I mention over him for either right here right now or for the future. I mean, to me he is Jeff George/Vinny/Kerry Collins/Dave Krieg/Steve DeBerg.
