LOL........Oh My God!!!!........the TROLL actually started a thread. LOL

Even if it was to troll, its a rare site. LOL

Jhalp

I'll take our guy still...who last time I checked beat Brees straight up.

Had Favre not thrown that late pick, this thread would not have been started.

Anytime Brees faced a rush the other day he looked small.....and its apples to oranges because Romo and Brees play in different schemes, and with different weapons.

And I don't care what others on here think....and I don't care if I am in in the minority....I'll stand by our guy.

This is one subject I strongly disagree on. Brees is as awesome as it gets in my opinion. The guy is an amazing QB. And although I think Romo is also good, Brees is the cream of the crop. As good a leader as you can get at the position. Go onto You Tube and type in "brees vs archers"

From 20 yards out the guy hits dead center 9 bullseyes in a row. Its not even human. I love the guy.

I respect yours and others opinion who disagree with me. The numbers and SB appearance back you and the rest. I realize that. Im just saying, I would still take our guy if both were standing there and available.

Let's see what happens in a few weeks and in years to come. If Brees wins a SB and Romo does not, then I concede, but I truly do think there are a lot of variables in play that give Brees a big advantage over Romo.

Im not talking about SB's or anything like that. I have watched both guys play for years. Just watching how they work and what either does for thier team, I take Brees. Brees has also been starting for longer and has more experience. But in my opinion, outside of Manning, Brees is the best QB in the NFL. Brady, Manning, Brees. These 3 are head and shoulders above the rest.

Jhalp

See, I think Romo with the weapons and OC/HC Brees has and the division Brees plays in would be doing similar things as Brees.

Dont you ever watch the clips of Brees in the middle of his team before games screaming and firing them all up? That guy is the type of hard ass leader that you need at QB. Romo is not on Brees level with Talent, leadership, or his abilities. Romo is great, but he is no Drew Brees.

Jhalp

Brees has a better long ball...no doubt...but again, our Defense shut him out for 3 quarters and Romo beat him that day head to head.

The NFC East and getting every teams best each week because you are the QB of America's team is a bit different than lighting up the NFC South imo.

Payton is very aggressive, and Bush, Colston, Meachem, Shockey, etc are all big play guys. They play for stats down in NO.....records matter to them...

and if Favre doesnt throw an int at the end of that game. Brees is sitting at home and is 2-3 in the playoffs as a QB.

I thought Payton had a much better gameplan than Garrett and I thought NO gave Brees a hell of a lot more time than our line gave Romo...and I think Bush is better than any back we have in the passing game which gives them a big advantage.

I'm not saying I'm right on this....I'm just saying I'll stand by our guy who I don't feel has had the advantages Brees has had in NO since he got there.

I have to disagree about Brees' pre-game cheerleading making him a "hard ass leader". In fact most great QBs leave most of the emotional stuff to others. It's Brees' discipline and actions on the field that make him what he is.
I also disagree that "Romo is great". IMO Romo has shown he can be a good NFL QB, but he hasn't reached the "great" level.

Romo is a great QB, top 10 easily in the NFL.

Great of all time, didnt say that. Romo is much better then good. But then again, you have been bashing Romo since he put on a star.

And yah, I want a QB that is the emotional leader of the offense and the team. His rah rah speaches before the games are a little taste of that and they certainly are a part of what makes him a good leader.

CowboyRoy · Major Joined: Oct 01, 2007 Posts: 7243 **Status:**

Agreed, Brees made that entire offense when he got there. The went from nothing offense to best in the league. Those receivers have gotten hurt all year, every year in and out of that lineup. It doesnt matter who he is throwing to, he makes those guys what they are. Colston was out of the lineup last year for half the season, and he was making other guys studs.

Brees is as good as it gets at QB, and he is the emotional and lockeroom leader of that club. He IS the man since day one.

mcfloyd

If Romo's "Great" today...what adjective will you ascribe to him if and when he wins a/or some Super Bowls? 'Double great'? 'great squared'? What? See the problem you're creating for yourself?

As far as "bashing" is concerned...If understanding Romo's not perfect and pointing out flaws in his game...is "bashing"....then I'm guilty as charged.

and no...he's not "Great".

Im really over getting into an argument with a Romo basher over what the term GREAT means when describing Romo.

When I speak of Romo being great, I refer to his camparison to other active QB's in the NFL. Where would I rate Romo TODAY as compared to the OTHER QB's and thier abilities. Romo is a top QB in the NFL which in my mind is GREAT. He is one of the BEST QB's in the NFL.

Whatever you are talking about, not sure.

IF Romo wins a SB, then he will be called a CHAMPION.

Well if it isn't MR DELUSIONAL who accuses me of being a STALKER/TROLL. LOL Shouldn't you be crying to CRob about getting an ignore feature? Blue_Colorz_PDT_04

Any feature this board can come up with that would muzzle you would suit me just fine....LMFAO!

KJJ

Last time I checked our guy also beat Peyton Manning straight up in 06 then went on to botch a playoff game while Manning went on to win the SB. With all the WAFFLING you've done you have no choice but to stand by Romo even if it makes you look like an idiot. LOL Just like Favre Romo will always be good for that one back breaking turnover at the worst time. Even your monkey see monkey do delusional homer buddy isn't backing you on this one.

I'm just still shocked you started a thread....

good boy!

We all know why you're still in shock. LOL You've been sitting on pins and needles since Sunday hoping and praying this topic wouldn't come up. Must have been a real JOLT when you logged on today and saw the thread title and that it was authored by me. Blue_Colorz_PDT_04

You can bet you'll be pulling hard for the Colts in 2 weeks. lmao

KJJ

So because our defense shut out Brees for 3 quarters and Romo beat him head to head "that day" that makes Romo the better QB? LOL That's just you living the moment. Blue_Colorz_PDT_04

Romo beat Peyton Manning head to head in 06 only to go on and botch a playoff game with an ill timed turnover and Manning went on to win the SB. Romo beat Eli head to head twice in 07 only to choke against him with all the chips on the line and Eli went on to win the SB. You may put alot of weight into winning a battle but I don't if the guy you beat ends up going farther in the end. Romo has yet to prove he can win a tight back and forth game with alot riding on it. It's easy to win games when you're dominating your opponent but it takes alot of intestinal fortitude to out duel a great QB in a tight see saw battle with a SB birth on the line.
