WHAT????!?!?!?!
Homo Romo is STRONGER than ANY QB outside of Peyton Manning and Steve Young? You're nuts...lol. I want some of what you're smoking. There's no way he is stronger than McNabb, Brady, Joe Flacco, Matt Ryan, Favre, or big ben.
Romo doesn't have that great of an arm, and he sure can't shrug off a tackle. He can't take a hit, and the only reason his QB rating has been higher than 90 is because of talented wide receivers and Jason Witten all who have been great at making him look better than he is.
That's part of the problem with Dallas right now. I'm going to help Dallas out right here..... now keep in mind I HATE Dallas and lil' Romo.... but I'll do you all a favor and explain something. The biggest problem with Romo is that the Dallas fans love him. If they hated him, your season would look a lot better. That's because he wouldn't be there and you guys would have picked up a better QB. He is not the quarter back that's going to take you guys to a superbowl, ever. He is not the quarter back that's going to win a play-off game. He can't handle it, and he doesn't have the talent to carry a team when they need him to. He also doesn't have the respect of the players in Dallas, and can't lead the team like a QB should. He'll have decent numbers while he's there, but he'll always be an un-drafted practice squad QB who was lucky enough to make his way to the starting spot after a bad move to pick up Drew Bledsoe.
Edit:
oH wait... did you mean stronger, as in, he's got a stronger early season record? Even if that is the case, that just proves my point. That's the wrong time of the year to have a strong record. The majority of play-off and championship drives start towards the middle to end of the season.
He, he. I guess I used the wrong terms of art. Strong was not the word I should have used. He does get flustered if even a pigeon flies too close to him.
What I really meant was overall QB rating which is great. Aikman (81.6) was a better clutch player in big games, Staubach (83.4) could scramble thus his name Roger the Dodger, and Danny White (81.7) was as strong (without protection) as a statue and kept his rating numbers strong in those circumstances whether his team lost or not and succeeded with those aging superheroes of the Dallas franchise. What's extraordinary are those low ratings compared to today's modern QBs utilizing bigger players and the now famous West Coast Offense. Run after catch custom is not bad for the ratings either.
If Romo gets his December act together, his rating, in passes completed, third down conversions, fewer interceptions, etc. would be in the 100 range, but that doesn't help if he has a December choke factor. But it could be other factors like the talented, yet selfish behavior of former 49er star Terrell Owens. I think Romo stands in the mid-90s, but low 80s/high 70s QBs have won rings so it bows to all the other positions on the field. I think the Steelers can do better at this point with momentum even though Big Ben is at 80.1.
Kurt Warner has a 99.1 rating with a team that is such a long shot with a terrible record for a division winner.
Maybe his team will win 10 games this season if they are lucky!
Currently, Warner is the top active QB or close to it in the NFC, and the Steelers have the top defense and that would be a very fun matchup for the super bowl, Titans, Giants, Ravens, and Colts aside. Warner has 25 TDs already but the Steeler have more tackles and sacks than virtually anybody so it would be a great matchup.
What would also be fun is seeing old players, regardless of position, play their last game in the Super Bowl and finally getting a ring, or another ring. That makes me happy, being old, too to see one of "my" type (middle aged) succeed in a young man's sport. Could you imagine the hype if Favre in his 40s or Warner in his 40s gets one in their "last" game of their career? Favre maybe has two more years left in him, and Warner is 37 so I give him five years, tops.
Remember the "bus" Bettis. That was a great retirement though he was nearly 34 but battered to all hell but he had one game remaining in him. Elway of the Broncos played his last at age 38 even though he was beyond his prime time athleticism. I just want to see someone even older than those two, who are starters, hold up the trophy. Favre (39), Peyton Manning (almost 34), and Warner (37) are the best possibilities to do it in the near future as their "last" game.
The record that will never be beaten from what I can find is when George Blanda left the sport at age 48 and kicked a field goal as his last point ever (at the end of his 26th season, Jerry Rice had 20 seasons for comparison). Morten Andersen retired slightly older than Blanda but didn't play at age 48 but was more active overall in his career. Blanda and Steve DeBerg played as QBs in their early 40s from time to time. Go old guys.
