COME ON!

This was hilarious!

Now to the serious stuff. I guess, all this Romo hating and Eli hating is off base. When it comes down to it, STATISTICALLY, Tumor is right. If you put Eli’s numbers against Romo’s, there would be no comparison.

But in the world of sports, especially in the NY market, the question is always “what have you done for me lately?” So, if we are going to go with that, and I am not quite sure, if urgency or time is of the essence in Dallas, Eli has essentially brought himself and the Giants two rings and he still has a good few years in him. But looking at Romo and his good numbers, his career is not over but nearing it’s latter part and still has nothing to show for but one playoff win. I dunno, I will have to go with Eli. Quite a few QBs have shown great numbers but have had the bad luck of not winning it all, maybe Romo will fall under this category.

I can tell you this though, most, if not all, Giants fan will agree, they would not rather Eli have Romo’s numbers but no rings, but I’m quite sure there are quite a few Dallas fans that would give up Romo’s number, with the quickness, if he can have a ring or two.

Tumor can say whatever he want and claim he’s just doing his job but people, and fans specifically, know whats up.

Really Mike? Your QB throwing multiple INTs and completing less than 50% of his passes has NO RELEVANCE when it comes to winning a game?? You want Dilfer on your team as your starter?? You want Ryan Leaf as your starter?

Of course those statistics are relevent to winning. Why do you think the more prolific QBs get the big contracts? Why was Dilfer cut after WINNING A SB?? For crying out loud, you’re a professional.

Those were the giants starting wrs for for much of the season due to nicks and manningham missed parts of the season. The only one with a name in the NFL is hagan and even he isn’t known by most NFL fans

-Patrick Crayton (7th rd pick)
-Miles Austin (undrafted)
-Sam Hurd (undrafted)
-Laurent Robinson (street free agent)
-Kevin Ogletree (undrafted)

Did you catch the DAL/WSH game in Dallas this year? Dallas O-line sucked. No running game. Dez Bryant and Miles Austin were both hurt. Romo had WRs that didn’t even know the formations. And this was one week removed from a broken rib.

I won’t argue with you about what Eli has accomplished. I’m just saying, if you looked at what Romo did, in similar circumstances, you might have a little more respect for him.

And to those talking about supporting cast and bringing up last year when eli had 25 picks(brees had 22, but that goes unspoken because its brees) people forget Cruz was .lost before the season, smith was gone before the season, manningham missed at least 8 games, nicks missed at least 8 games, barden was done for the season, hiding was gone for the season. Count that. That’s 6 receivers deep injured and manning still managed 31 tds and a 10-6 record. He didn’t even have guys from his back ups in as his starters, they were using guys off the streets. When Romo can do that we can talk

Tony Romo fans can be the same, too. But as a Romo fan and Cowboy fan, I have faith in my quarterback. Even after Seattle ’06, Bufallo ’07, and Detroit ’11, I still stand by Romo and don’t demand his release. If the cowboys were to win a Super Bowl within the next five years, they would need Tony Romo to do it.

The Giants have had the better team and Romo has been the better QB.

This is proof that there is something very wrong with the school systems of this country. Are stats the only thing that matters to you? Do you guys even WATCH THE GAMES, or do you just wake up extra early on Mondays, grab the newspaper, and pleasure yourselves while looking at the box scores/stats?

Toomer said that Romo, STATISTICALLY, is the better QB, and he’s right. When is the last time you saw a game where there were people standing on the sidelines with pencils and paper, adding up the numbers, and when the clock hits 00:00, the QB and/or the team with better stats was declared the winner of the game? Yes, Romo puts up better numbers. Its the rest of his game that leaves him in the dust. The decision making, the mental toughness, the physical toughness, the leadership….in short, all of the intangibles that stat hoors cant comprehend, because they don’t understand anything but numbers and fantasy football wins.

Several of those characteristics have very significantly positive correlations with winning games. To say they have no relevance is rhetorically fun, but factually wrong.

The fact that so many people feel more comfortable relying on “clutch” characteristics, which have been proven time and time again to be complete nonsense, than basic statistics that are flawed but effective, boggles the mind.

Eli Manning is a nice guy and an above average quarterback on a team with a stellar defensive front that has driven the bus to well-earned Super Bowl victories. As a quarterback he’s just not nearly as good as Tony Romo. Why does that matter so much, though? He’s clearly good enough, and with the other weapons the Giants have, that’s all that matters.

This has got to be the dumbest thing Ive heard. It is not as dumb as Florio picking the Skins v. Steelers Superbowl matchup from a couple seasons back when the dreadful skins went like 2-14, but it is a close second.

I agree to that on some level, but Eli and Aaron before him showed that they can win when players around them drop like flies (of course, in their respective SB runs).

Romo is definitely a better regular season QB, but where does that get you? What is the prize? MVP of the league or SB winner? Yes, still bitter about the loss to NYG and admitting Eli has what it takes.
