The bigger need for the Cowboys?

He said Romo is a top 10 QB in accuracy, not a top 10 QB

He also said "all time"

LOL...I knew what I said would start a debate. Good thing I research my shit before I speak and it helps that I do live in the Dallas area... ^_^

Dumbface did get a ring but like the saying goes,"Even the Sun Shines on a Dog's Ass Some Days." and that day was his (especially with that last lucky throw and catch). But if you think it was him and not their Defense that got them there, then you need to "get real".

Not only is that flawed, it's also hardly considered research.

You look at the career leaders in completion percentage and you'll notice that a majority of the ones in the top twenty are either current players, or played recently. That's because QB's in todays game rely on short routes, and run a ball control offense. QB's from the 60's and 70's attempted far riskier passed downfield. When you have QB's completing every pass for 4-5 yard gains at a time, or dumping it off on a screen then your completion percentage will obviously be higher because it's a higher rate of success.

Also, if you break it down on a yearly basis, not only has Romo never once led the league in completion percentage, he has never been in the top 7 in the league in any single year. Romo also has the fewest attempts out of any of the QB's in the top ten in the link you provided.

So maybe if you go purely by unweighted numbers and flawed statistics, you could say Romo is one of the most accurate passers, but if you take all of this into consideration, it's a very very bold statement.

^Great Post Jake.

But to go back a bit, this all started because you said Dallas needs a QB when you know very well that you would take Romo over the prestigious stable of QBs that have been through your Redskins' roster.

Now for your so called logic about the QB's of the 60-70's taking risks does not hold that much water. The game is 100x faster now and is played by WAY more extreme/skilled athletes than back then. Also, today's defensive game play prevents the "big plays" to happen. Offenses are not going to take those so called risks as often like back then, because that type play could very well cost them the game. The job of the QB has to take advantage of what the defense gives you at that very moment regardless is it is a 5 yard slaqnt or a 10 yard curl. The objective is to execute the play.

I never said Romo was the best QB in the league, my statement was originally to argue the point of Romo vs. Eli. If I had to honestly rate Romo, I would say he is in the top 7-10 range. Now if you want to talk about #1 QBs ever, then it will be very tough to change my mind that Peyton is "that guy".

I was mainly referring to you using completion percentage to determine how accurate Romo is compared to every QB in the history of the league. He's been in the league, what, 4-5 years? Completion percentage doesn't hold much weight until after a players career is over. The only thing you can really do is look at it on a year to year basis, and he's barely top 10 in current players... which we've already established as a far more conservative time period.

And my initial post was a joke... I already explained that.

Romo is #3 in Passer Rating. He's in some all time category as well, but it might just be the Cowboys' record book.

Rings don't mean anything. Trent Dilfer and Brad Johnson have fucking Super Bowl rings. Romo is better than Eli. End of discussion.

Rings mean everything.

Biggest need for them is wins. Wins are hard to come by without defense. I would say they need a CB more. As much as people want to believe, if Romo does get hurt again, they have a capable backup.

Jim Plunkett > Steve Young, and Peyton Manning?

When you come into the draft all you want to do is win a ring....

if you don't think so you know nothing about the NFL.

Lol, you don't even know what you're arguing about seven, they're talking about comparing players, not what the goal of them is

Hes posted super bowls mean nothing lol.

In context of what they were talking about, they really don't

 

[BwareDWare94]

Do some of you people really think Eli is better than Romo? LOL

I'd take Romo over Eli, but neither of those QBs are that good.

Name the top 10 QBs in the league and try to leave Romo out of it.

Done yet?

Yeah, he's that good.
