I didn't realize putting up 31, 20, and 45 in playoff games was awful. The only poor playoff game he really has had was against the Giants, and even that too was due to an inept defense and drops from his so called sure handed receivers. And how did he exactly choke? He put up thirty one points against San Francisco, but his freaking defense couldn't the read option. The following year he put up 20, and once again his defense let him down. And lastly he put up forty one on Arizona, and Single Handedly brought them back into the game. Is it his fault a player was unblocked and got a clean hit on him? Do you expect him to superman? You're hate for Rodgers is evident, and it's a shame you can't realize the greatness in him. Like it or not, he'll be in the HOF one day , and you and I both know you die to have him on the Jets right now.
Im not saying Rodgers isnt great, im not even saying Romo is better (because he isnt), but Rodgers took over a Super Bowl roster and won 6 games in 2008, fumbled the snap in 2009, and had a chance last year to take the lead in the final minutes over the 49ers but had to settle for a FG. 2012 wasnt his fault, the defense was a complete debacle. But my point is that if Romo can manage to just win one, all the negativity about him melts away, people will then do a complete 180 and talk about how he has been one of the top QBs over the last couple years. Winning changes everything, the only QB getting harrassed still despite winning a Super Bowl is Peyton Manning, they want him to win a second. Any other QB can settle for one and never have to answer questions about not being able to win a Super Bowl ever again.
Well, Rodgers won SB MVP, and then came back and had one of the all time great seasons in NFL season. I just don't like meausirng a players skill based on a SB ring, because. we all know ,is football the ultimate team sport. But , regardless, I agree Romo gets too much flak from the media and football fans. Is he elite? Hell no, but he's a pretty damn good QB and in my opinion is the tenth best quarterback in the NFl. I was looking at his turnover numbers the other day, and to my supeise they were relatively low. But he just makes the worst decisions at the worst possible time, which leads us to believe he is a turnover machine.
I dont even care about the term elite anymore. It gets tossed around way to much, its either you are good, or you arent. Romo is good, but he still has to get that playoff run done.
Go Chiefs!!! Would be the only saving grace.... because New England gets Cincy next weeks which they will lose.
soxxx, quit trolling. Unlike you, I actually follow football and make the picks. http://games.espn.go.com/nfl-pigskin-pickem/2014/en/group?groupID=13513 http://contests.covers.com/sportsco...al=overall&contestID=23154&ur=54103&sportID=1
