He was comparing why the Giants were losing in the middle of the season and then winning at the end. The difference FOR THE GIANTS according to Jerry was Eli’s elevated play, not that he was a better QB than Romo. They have deleted my post here several times as I tried to make available the comments in context, something that doesn’t happen here.

We’ll try a quote, direct copy and paste from the article, a blog by Nick Eatman:

“When asked to pinpoint the major difference in the Giants’ play here lately that has propelled them back to the Super Bowl, compared to midway through the season when they had lost four straight games, Cowboys owner/GM Jerry Jones had an easy answer.

Eli Manning.

For Jones, it starts and ends with the quarterback and from his perspective, he gives Manning the bulk of the credit for the Giants’’ turnaround, although he admits the Giants’ defense and its constant pass-rush pressure is a nice advantage, too.

But when it reflecting on his own team, and trying to compare the two situations, Jones doesn’t necessarily think the Giants have been quarterback play, but maybe just a better supporting cast.

“Their quarterback play, as a team they got better and better near the end,” Jones said. “I don’t want to take anything away, but the big difference was Eli came up here and started what seemed like a pretty significant (run). But the quarterback play with Eli was the huge difference. But I was pretty impressed with how they’ve defense played the last three or four ball games. Eli came up big for them.”

But bigger than Romo? Jones wouldn’t say that.

“I thought Romo was competing at a level that would’ve given us that opportunity but the rest of us need to play better and get better before we can really gel the way the Giants are,” Jones said. ”

Now … does that sound like “Eli is better than Tony” to you? I don’t think so.

Other people have called names and not gotten deleted. I’m only furnishing the truth. Will they delete me again?

Or, become a balanced team: defense, offense, special teams, and a balanced playcaller. It starts in the trenches. Draft that next Brady and watch him picking his teeth off the ground with this Oline.

Even Aikman didn’t have a great pass blocking line, hence his 1000 concussions. He had a great run blocking line and a RB who knew how to use it.

The QB is the least part of the Cowboy’s problems.

Green Bay got shut down by NYG IN GREEN BAY! So much for Rogers being super man, eh? Will they be calling for his job in Frozen Tundra Land this year? I think not.

We just toss out some of the finest and then grasp at unproven talent with trades that are few.

Like thousands of you said before… It all comes back to Jerry, it’s certainly not Romo.

I’ll never understand Romo haters – here take Quincy and stick him in your pocket, those were some of the most horrible of all Cowboy years.

Maybe not the ’85 Bears type of defense, but you still need a defense that can get a critical stop or turnover. Dallas wiffs on both those.

Idiots don’t seem to understand that football is a team game. Brady stinks up the joint in a win against the Ravens and the sports idiots still say, “Brady leads Pats to another Super Bowl”.

Put it simpler: Switch QBs for the last Dallas Giants game. Does Eli still win with the Dallas defense giving up points left and right? Does he still win with the Dallas WRs not getting open? Does he still win with the Giants DL all over him and running for his life?

I don’t think so. Idiots.

Playoff wins past 15 yrs:

NY Giants 8
D Cowboys 1

Super Bowl’s & Wins

NY Giants 2 (1-1)
D Cowboys 0

Those would be the Differences Jerry AND over those 15 years ROMO was NOT always your QB.

Here are the other QB’S who have not done what Eli has done over that same 15 year span as well:

Troy Aikman, Jason Garrett, Randall Cunningham, Anthony Wright, Quincy Carter, Ryan Leaf, Clint Stoerner, Chad Hutchinson, Vinny Testaverde, Drew Bledsoe..

This article that Gregg Rosenthal wrote is based on yellow-journalistic tactics to try to get as many “hit counts” as possible by writing an incendiary headline for a misleading story that is based on quotes that were intentionally taken out of context by Rosenthal.

If anyone bothers to watch the actual video of the JJ interview, he clearly says that the only player on the entire Cowboys team that is playing at Eli’s level is Tony Romo, and the only player who is playing at a Superbowl level is Romo. He indicts the rest of his team, specifically Offensive Line and especially defense. Rosenthal started this discussion with a misleading story based on out of context quotes to get as much traffic to the site as possible.

It was the same when T.O. was the big buzz-word headline. Sports “writers” and commentators all over the country looked for any excuse to get “T.O.” in their headline somehow because they knew it would skyrocket their “hit count”.

I lost respect for you from employing that tactic Rosenthal, but now that you are deleting my criticism of your dishonorable tactics for your posts, I have lost even more respect for you.

Why don’t you bother answering the criticism or actually being a man and rescinding your misleading story instead of deleting my comments that nail what you’ve done on the head?

funny how much elite qbs look like romo when their offensive line doesn’t give them 3+ seconds to throw the ball.
