A petty, bitter, possibly not worth your time Romo vs. Rodgers thread

PrintIt's come to this. After listening to talking heads on sports media including, but not limited to BSPN, go on and on about how great Aaron Rodgers is, I have to let off some steam, because it seems like no one notices that he's not God incarnate. I mean, don't get me wrong; Aaron Rodgers is a good quarterback. Any team should be glad to have him as their QB. Really what gets me, as an openly biased Cowboys fan, is the way he's constantly regarded higher than Tony Romo. Personally, I'd say they're about even. In fact (and this isn't really Rodgers' fault), Romo's never led a 6-win team. I'm just sayin'...
Take this clown on CBS (Dave Richard). He's a fantasy-ranker guy who names Aaron Rodgers the number 1 quarterback to draft and puts Romo at 6. He puts Matt Schaub ahead of Romo, which is ridiculous, but I digress. But really, Aaron Rodgers over Drew Brees/Peyton Manning/Tom Brady? Please. I think people need to tap the breaks on this guy.
Statistics? Here are some very basic stats from the 2008 and 2009 seasons.
2008 (TD-INT-QBRat)
- Aaron Rodgers: 28-13-93.8 (Playoff Wins: Zero)
- Tony Romo: 26-14-91.4 (Playoff Wins: Zero)
2009 (TD-INT-QBRat)
- Aaron Rodgers: 30-7-103.2 (Playoff Wins: Zero)
- Tony Romo: 26-9-97.6 (Playoff Wins: One)
As you can see, Aaron Rodgers has indeed been the statistically-superior quarterback over Tony Romo. But not by a whole lot. Romo leads Rodgers one-nil in playoff victories.
Does it really matter? No. But I'm mainly curious if there's anyone who feels like I do.
Moral of the story: Aaron Rodgers isn't all that unless Tony Romo also is.
I'm very happy with Tony Romo as the quarterback of our team and would gladly and confidently pick him over Aaron Rodgers in any situation.

Why be bitter over what a fantasy writer says?
There is a shot Matt Schaub finishes ahead of Romo, in most leagues he finished over him last year.
It’s a FANTASY article and Rodgers outscored every QB in most fantasy leagues by almost 50 points last year. I personally would take Drew Brees, because I think he’s less of an injury risk, but for fantasy purposes Aaron Rodgers belongs in the top 2 picks.
I personally have Romo at 4 after brees,manning,rodgers, but I could see him and schaub being switched back and forth.

Quoting yourself doesn't require your own name attached to it. I'm going to assume if there isn't anyone else's name attached it's yours.
The Moral of the story sums it up perfectly for me.
These 2 guys are interchangable and yet Rodgers is the golden guy,

rodgers is good
but remember….
one of those guys plays in the nfc east and the while the other plays the bears and the lions twice.
That right there..
Says it all. Those two teams will definitely help pad his stats, although i don think the bears D will come back to old form with Urlacher coming back healthy. But The East is a Beast and I’d Take Romo into battle over Rodgers anyday even if it is only a fantasy.

I would absolutely take Rodgers
over Romo in a fantasy draft, but they’re both in the top 6 or so elite QBs and I do expect Romo to be better fantasy wise this year.
Yes this was a fantasy article
But I’ve read plenty of other “news” pieces and seen “experts” on TV say or imply that Rodgers is better than Romo. One thing’s for sure, the Packers’ 17-7 win last year didn’t really prove anything. Green Bay won that game with defense and some questionable calls.
This is not to bash or even remotely criticize Rodgers in any way. He came into a difficult situation and has performed remarkably well. But as a highly-touted first rounder who was able to learn at the feet of an NFL Hall of Fame calibre QB for three years, I am not that surprised.
We’ll all keep our undrafted free agent who, despite serving an apprenticeship to the likes of Quincy Carter and ancients such as Vinny Testaverde and Drew Bledsoe, has managed to become – statistically speaking – one of the best QB’s in NFL history.
And on a non-football related tangent, sometimes Rodgers gives off a distinct douchebag-vibe, as compared to Romo who always seems cool.
It's not just fantasy
I just used that example. It’s also a real-life comparison.
Is it NFL time yet?
Rodgers and Romo is almost splitting hairs at this point
in real life. The most impressive thing about Rodgers last year to me was his absurdly low INT % while being under heavy, heavy seige from pass rushers (especially in the first half of the year). Of course, Romo made great strides in that department as well while not receiving A+ protection himself. They both have terrific weapons going into this season and should both see improved pass protection.
From a fantasy standpoint I think Rodgers is a cut above Romo for the following reasons:
1) The Cowboys have more of an identity as a 2TE power offense that mixes in a lot of big plays where the Packers are more built around 3-wides and Rodgers’ arm – I think he throws the ball 30-40 more times than Romo this year (and maybe even more if the Cowboys ground game/short yardage steps up).
2) Rodgers is probably going to out-rush Romo by 200 yards and a couple of TDs
3) I’d rather throw against the Lions, Bears and Vikings (sans Ced Griffin) twice apiece than the Eagles, Giants and Redskins – neither has a real easy or real brutal slate of Pass D’s but I like Rodgers’ schedule a little better
Noting that Rodgers has no playoff wins compared to Romo’s one is a little silly. His line in the playoffs last year…
28-42 for 423 yards, 4 TD’s, 1 INT, a rushing TD, and his offense put up 45 points.
Formerly Bye, Dawk :(
A lot of QB's could put up 400 yards and 4 TD
When all they are doing is throwing the entire game. Sure it’s not his fault that his defense was an embarassment, but to throw out those numbers is a bit misleading.
But I also agree that using Tony’s 1 playoff win is a bit….lol…I’ll leave it at that.
Because it was the Cards pass defense.
Ability is a poor mans wealth.
The main ingredient of stardom is the rest of the team.
Talent is God given, Be humble. Fame is man given, Be grateful. Conceit is self-given, Be careful.
-John Wooden-
They gave up 233 passing yards, 20.3 points, and 1.38 passing TD’s per game in 2009.
I think we can all agree Rodgers had a stellar game, can’t we?
Formerly Bye, Dawk :(
Or we could all freak out about how he fumbled
and “choked” to lose them the game and then we could label him a choker for the rest of his career based on one fluke play.

Yeah, really!
1. Rodgers a 1st Round pick.
2. Romo UDFA.
3. Romo with 10 games of starting experience.
4. Rodgers with 32.
5. Romo in his 4th year in the League.
6. Rodgers in his 5th.
7. Differences in skill players and coaching.
Yeah, too many differences to count.

As a Romosexual I must say that Rodgers > Romo
The dude is good and I think he’s going to get even better this year.
Romo is good, too, but he also has a plehtora of talent around him on offense.
Rodgers has puh-lenty of offensive talent around him
thank you very much
true good talent around him...
in the skill positions, but his line last year was dreadful to say the least. You can’t argue that, the first half of the season he was running for his life on almost every play! The second half was better but still not great at all. So for him to stand in there knowing that he is going to get “jacked” almost every pass play….and still put up those numbers. I’d challenge any other QB to stand back there and do that and try to even come close to those numbers.
thats a big if
They’re hoping they’re even older offensive tackles will play well. Maybe Bulaga makes an immediate impact, who knows.
don't sell the Packers short
in the talent department. Their wrs were better than ours in 08 and 09. They do a really good job getting open on those quick slants.
Their line is similar, they aren’t as good but they’re not significantly worse imo.
lol... their line sucks
And they don’t have the kind of pass blocking that the Cowboys have, which is why Rodgers has been sacked more than any QB except Big Ben since he has been in the league.
Witten + Bennett > Finley + who?
There are reasons to think Rodgers is better than Romo:
1) More upside. He’s younger and has reached a high level quickly, whereas Romo took a few years to wipe out the stupid plays.
2) You cannot erase the perception lingering from the failed hold in Seattle, and the choke loss to the Giants in the playoffs.
Romo has to fight an uphill battle, even if it’s unfair. Those images don’t go away.

Rodgers performed last year under a lot of pressure/sacks.

Unfair
What makes it unfair is the way the media is to the Packers: Tony Romo turns it over with the game on the line, he chokes.
Aaron Rodgers turns it over in OT, and his team let him down.
Romo finally has a playoff win and Rodgers doesn’t, and experts STILL say Rodgers is the better QB.
The media feeds off the Cowboys and lavishes the Packers. It’s really the only explanation for Charles Woodson taking the DPOY over Darelle Revis.
Akwasi Owusu-Ansah: Funny name, serious safety.
can't argue with he media bias, I've seen that for 40 years
But I was pointing out there are some valid arguments on his side.
I’d prefer Romo from what I’ve seen though.
Notice how I highlighted the word “Perception”??

Romo has a playoff win...
after how many years failing? Rodgers first year the Defense was awful. Second full year starting terrible O-line and led them to the playoffs, losing to the Cardinals but still putting up gaudy numbers. Let him have the years in the league that Romo has and he will have a better record and numbers…..I’m saying it right now!
yep
I’d take rodgers for the youth and upside argument, but the reality is, right now, there is little difference between Romo, Rodgers and Rivers. None have won in the playoffs with any consistency. Rodgers had two games (the Vikings games) like Romo faced throughout the year (Packers, Vikings, Broncos, second Giants game)
I'd take Rodgers over Romo I guess
But I do find it very odd that Romo has had better stats that a lot of QB’s over the last few years and the national media said “it doesn’t matter, because he does not have a playoff win”, yet the same does not apply to Rodgers. Romo also took over a team that appeared to be sliding backwards and resurrected it, Rodgers took over a 13-3 team.
At this point I'd take Romo actually, despite the points above-more proven

There is no doubt Romo is better than Rodgers, although Rodgers does put up nice numbers I will give him that.
In Romo we Trust
I don't think you go wrong with either QB.
Both have a lot of upside and are winners, but for my money give me Romo.
I love romo as much as anyone
But rodgers is the man, and he’s definetly worth a first round pick. If the top qb’s were gone I’d go with an elite rb or wr and just get romo in the second cause IMO, as fantasy goes, romo isn’t a first round pick.
by Cknbonenowison on Aug 2, 2010 4:57 PM CDT via mobile reply actions
obviously you don't
Romo is better and he’s definitely worthy of first rd consideration
In Romo we Trust
I think Romo can be a top scoring fantasy QB...
but why grab him in the first when you can get him in the 2nd and probably the 3rd?
Get value.

how do you know he will last that long??
There are about 5-6 elite fantasy qbs and Romo is certainly one of them…your top qbs will go fast, they are your top scorers in most formats.
In Romo we Trust
Well you could...
but if 4 QB’s go in the first round of your league… that’s pretty crazy.

If you're drafting around 3 or 4
all the top qbs might be gone by the time your pick comes around in the second. Thats certainly possible.

can i play fantasy football with you guys
to me its silly to take a qb any where near the first. RBs are the top scorers. You have more RBs start. You can find perfect value for qb in rnd 4, 5,6.
Really?! Really?!
The NFL game is changing...
And the fantasy game is changing to reflect it. Overvalue RBs at your peril.

I've always found that you rarely go wrong making sure that you snag an elite QB and TE...
Having high-level play at those two positions can often give you an edge in a close game, since productive RBs and WRs come in a broader pool to chose from.
Witten’s lack of TDs hurt me last year though.

That's why you probably suck at fantasy too
It’s about value in your pick. Whether you admit it or not most people see romo as a second tier qb. Playing off your opponets is a key to the fantasy draft. Your lack of football and overall knowledge wouldn’t serve you well in fantasy leagues
by Cknbonenowison on Aug 3, 2010 9:43 AM CDT via mobile up reply actions
agreed
Unless you have to reach for someone, why do it?
I think Romo will have a great season, but draft him where everyone else is grading him around…
Get value.

I've won many fantasy leagues over the years
and the first round is all about picking very safe reliable players who will be your best and most consistent scorer for your team. Romo most certainly fits that bill.
Obviously your lack of football and overall knowledge prevents you from knowing that.

Its an interesting strategy
I no longer favor taking rbs high. Too many injuries and many many teams have a rotation of rbs. Especially at the end of the first round when the quality isn’t very good.
I picked MJD early two years ago and he lost half his line in the first two weeks. Just like that his season was pretty much over.
I actually had MJD and Brady in that 2008 season
my season was over by the middle of september.
Romo support OUR QB
fantasy football idk if I want Rodgers that high or over Romo
Romo keeps getting better and this year has a better offense right
their numbers last year were pretty much the same Rodgers had a few more TD
in real life non fantasy football im taking my QB Romo
Rodgers gets alot of love no doubt
I remember that draft and I still dont know why this guy fell that far
Alex Smith is trash and I said then whoever takes Rodgers is gonna be glad in a few years
he has everything you want in a QB
do I like him? not one bit
Romo wasnt a 1st rd pick didnt go to a Div 1 school etc
he fought and put in alot of hard work to get where he is
he has a good arm is accurate mobile smart and keeps getting better
Romo is still one of the more underated QB in the NFL
Manning Brees Brady for me thats the top tier
Romo Rodgers Rivers is the next tier
want a good argument? start a Schaub vs Romo topic
I think Schaub is decent but gets way too much hype
I think you're a bit touchy about it
when ranking the top QB’s the difference between the players is so fine and depends on the scorer’s system of value. Personally, I am a big Romo fan but I also recognize that there are other QBs who could lead the Cowboys as well as he does. In fact, I’d personally take Peyton Manning over any QB in the league. Rodgers, Rivers, Brees, Brady, Rothlisburger and a few others are all in the conversation of elite QB’s along with Romo. Being part of the list is important…where within the list is just an argument not worth having. We all have our opinions on the matter and shouldn’t worry too much about other opinions…in my opinion:-)
I dont think Ben is elite
not at all I really dont
good yes elite no
only 3 guys to me are elite
Manning Brees Brady
Rodgers Romo Rivers
thats my list
no your entitled to your opinon no doubt
i was just saying mine in my post earlier
now lets get this Schaub vs Romo post going!
by Archie Barberio on Aug 2, 2010 9:38 PM CDT up reply actions
Two rings puts Ben in the elite category.
Ben gets tarred with the “wins because of his defense” brush, but he’s put up big numbers when called on, makes tons of plays despite the notorious Heinz Field grass, and does it while taking brutal hits behind a barely average o-line.

Differences
There are Fantasy QB’s, and then there are real QB’s. Drew Brees put up great fantasy numbers in 2008 throwing for over 5000 yards and 34 TD’s, but the Saints went 8-8 that year. Last year, he had a low yardage total, well, lower than 5000 yards anyway, and they went to the Superbowl. Rodgers had better fantasy value, but Rodgers doesn’t have a Lombardi. Just saying that fantasy football mean jack s__t to winning a championship. If you were picking a QB, and had to pick between Brees, Manning, Brady, Romo and Rodgers, to win a championship, how would you rank them in over all performance, accuracy, dependability, ability, intelligence, avoiding the sack, and recognizing the holes? Yes, I threw avoiding the sack in on purpose, but just food for thought. I would pick Brees, Manning, Romo, Brady, and then Farve at 80 years old, before I took Rodgers.

"I'm very happy with Tony Romo as the quarterback of our team and would gladly and confidently pick him over Aaron Rodgers in any situation."

I guess the fantasy thing was a bad example. My bad.
Is it NFL time yet?
I understand this whole fanpost was predicated with "possibly not worth your time"...
But I still really don’t understand why this is a big thing.
Both are great QB’s the fact that one gets more attention than the other shouldn’t mean anything.

It just bothers me how everyone thinks Rodgers is the best thing since sliced bread when he and Romo aren’t really that separated in terms of skill and statistics. And since I can’t tell it to the pundits themselves I thought I’d use BTB as my podium.

There's a reason for Rodgers inflated statistics...
Like someone said before me, he plays Chicago and Detroit twice a year, whereas every defense in the NFC Beast is solid at worst. Rodgers also has an incredible amount of sacks—he holds the ball for too long, which helps his STATS, but hurts his TEAM. Remember, this is the same o-line that Brett Favre had a year prior to Rodgers starting.
Rodgers is a good quarterback, no doubt, but I think he’s easily overestimated (or overrated, but that word carries way too much baggage) due to some slightly misleading statistics.
From a fantasy perspective, though, I’d have to say Rodgers gets the nod over Romo, simply because Fantasy Football is all about stats.
I mirror what most comments say...fantasy football is not "reality" football.
Peyton Manning has dropped in many drafts, but would you take Rodgers over Manning? NO.
In reality football, only one thing matters…Win Loss record.
First 32 games
Rodgers: 17-15 (54%)
Romo: 23-9 (72%)
As already mentioned Romo has a playoff win, while Rodgers doesn’t.
In head to head…Romo is 2-1.
Rodgers has good stats, but how much of that is inflated by having a weaker schedule to play against…the Packers should be able to pencil in 4 wins per season…the Bears and Lions aren’t doing much.
Listen, it’s all hype, the media was saying the same stuff about Romo after his first 2 years. The media vacillates like the tide…
I haven’t watched all of Rodgers games like I have Romo, so I can’t comment adequately on the “eyeball” test, but my eyes tell me Romo is “special”. Give him a more consistent O Line and Defense, and he’ll win you Championships.
Chicago should be better this year
Cutler can’t possibly be as bad as he was in the 1st half of the season last year. His numbers improved in the 2nd half. Their schedule should be weaker due to their 3rd place finish but you never know this time a year.
Chicago is better? lol
Chicago hasn’t been an elite team the past 2 years that Rodgers has played. My point still stands that Romo plays against better competition than Rodgers. Redskins, Eagles, and Giants had very good or elite defenses in Romo’s first 32 games.
Be careful of the Bears this year.
They didn’t sell the farm for nothing. Plus, they have a lil LB coming back from injury.

I'm going to say it if no one else will.
Brian Urlacher, at this point in his career, is overrated and injury prone.

I can understand that thought
But I still say at his age, he is better than most of the ILB’s in the game right now, and his leadership is definitely tops in the league. He does nothing to take away from the whole of the team, and only adds to it. Within two years, the Bears will need to upgrade though. Also, with the addition of the overpaid sack machine, Urlacher will be able to focus more on the middle. Peppers may cost a lot, but he is also fairly productive, not to the point of deserving the high pay, but still good enough to push the run the other way. One other thing, I think that Cutler kind of gets his act together. I just can’t see him posting back to back seasons as horrific as last year.

Possibly...
I agree on Urlacher, but disagree on Cutler.
He has always been turnover prone.
His turnovers have been made worse by the fact that…
A) He has a less talented receiving set.
B)Has a less talented offensive line.
C)Is playing in the WINDY city. That is not a place that you can just wing it out all the time.
All that being said…
Chicago will be better, Julius Peppers will be an immediate upgrade and Mike Martz will have some games where they are like a pinball machine.

Fantasy Stars
Does not carry over to real stars. A lot of QBs who are phenomenal leaders and winners aren’t even top 5 fantasy QBs. I agree that Rogers and Romo are about equal skill wise, but if given the chance I will take Rogers as my QB1 in fantasy, just because he is going to be forced to air it out more than Romo.
Both will be good in fantasy, and I think that both are top 5 fantasy QBs.

Looking at a Yahoo Fantasy Article
The top three listed QB’s were Rogers, Brees and Manning. They were listed in the 5 star “Top Tier” range. The 4 star “Second Tier” range listed the likes of Romo, Brady, and a handfull of other guys. If Romo isn’t a “Top 5 QB” right now, I beleiev he will be by the end of the season, pending how quickly they can get Bryant on the field and Williams off the field this year and barring any type of injruy.
