Cowboys players deserve no respect

I agree with you, 100%, that Romo definitely does not get the respect he deserves. He’s a statistical monster that’s shown more than the requisite amount of leadership for the position.

I will also say that Eli absolutely does not get the respect that he deserves either. As you mentioned, people trash hiim for the INTs, but nobody remembers that he was 4th in the league in TDs, 5th in yards, 9th in completion %. There’ve been countless debates on the credit given to him for his playoff run, and just how meaningful the playoffs are.

Everybody also fails to mention that he is the 2nd highest active streak holder in the NFL, despite a declining OL (the low amount of sacks was Eli’s manueverability and quick trigger) and despite playing with a separated shoulder and plantar fasciitis.

Yet he is consistently called “overrated,” his leadership has been called into question several times (sometimes based on how his informal practices in the month of MAY have turned out), getting snubbed in the top 100, and his entire body of work being ignored for the new flavor of the day like Freeman, Ryan, or Bradford.

Simply put, then, we can all agree that the QB we have is the right one for our teams. Both are top 10 quarterbacks, and depending on what you look for, could be ranked higher and lower than each other. I agree that 8-9 is the correct spot for them, and in general the 6-10 level tier is perfect.

Vick is someone that I need more time to correctly qualify. Yes, he’s had a great year, but nobody really gameplanned for Vick at all (especially not till late in the season). Then we saw his passer rating start tailing off. I could see him at the 7 spot, but there’s a ton of room for him to fall after next year.

im not an Eli fan, but the dude has a ring and throws for alot of yards, but he throws alot of picks
its kinda night and day from him jmo, some games the guy looks amazing, others he looks downright like a sissy with his hands on his hips pouting
if Asante Samuel catches that pick 6 or if Tyree drops that ball Eli might have some serious heat on his job
but at the end of the day the guy has a ring so I cant really hate on him
do I like him? no, he is a cry sissy daddys boy, but do I give him his props? all day and some

deserves to be above Vick, IMO. He is just a better all-around QB. Not as mobile, but still picks us up a ton of FDs; and a lightyears-better passer.

I might replace Eli with someone like Flacco or Shaub. I would also debate that until Vick does it a second time, I am not sure he belongs at the 7 spot.

As for Aikman, anyone that thinks he was merely a bus driver is simply a hater, didn’t see him play, and/or hasn’t recently looked at accuracy and TD records in the Playoffs and Super Bowls where Aikman had (and still has) a few records.

 those large , yet sagging eyes were unmistakable in my early years, seen alot of his movies and comedy routines. the man was a nervous laugh start to end. loved the guy hehehehe

remember a few years ago there were rumors the Cowboys wanted to sign Mike VIck
so say we did
Vick would have stepped in to replace Romo that Giants game right and we would have a QB debate also we could trade Vick for some serious draft picks

hindsight I know but this was a HUGE debate on DMN a few years ago

But his numbers last year and Coach Reid give me pause.

Reid knows how to protect the ball in his passing system, under him McNabb had a really good TD-Int ratio and he always was a vertical QB, often taking chances on long throws.

I don’t think that Vick is able to take care of the ball as well, he hasn’t shown that he’s capable, after his string of perfect games, KC Joyner wrote an article saying that he was leading the League in bad decisions, how lucky he was with his 0 in interceptions and believed that his luck would run out… As it turned out, after his article he started throwing interceptions and didn’t stop.

But I think that he’s capable of taking better care of the ball that those last 7 games and post numbers in the middle of both sets of numbers. If you add his ground production to that high quality passing production, the guy becomes a VERY respectable QB.

Screw Respect. Go for Dread.

But even through my rose colored glasses I can see that NONE of the Pats receivers that Brady WON those rings with would start for the Cowboys in 2011.

Would you start Branch, Brown, Givens over Miles, Dez or even Williams? In those years Brady never had a TE that could be mentioned in the same breath as Witten. He did not have a RB with the big play potential of FJones. His o-line was very good, but was it better then what Romo had to work with from 2007-2009?

The Cowboys have one playoff win in the last 14 years. Romo is 1-3 in his 4 playoff starts. Great organizations do not go 1-7 in the playoffs over a 14 year span. . Until the Cowboys change that with or without Romo our team is closer to the Lions, Bills, and Browns of the world. Accept it.

His stats have been inflated by playing against horrible pathetic Kansas City, Oakland, and Denver teams 6 times a year for the past half-decade.

Meanwhile, Romo has had to contend multiple times every year with elite Giants and Eagles teams.

Not to say Rivers is bad, I think he’s a great QB. But I would take Romo over him and believe his stats are inflated based on the competition he’s faced vs. other QBs in the league.

He’s not in the top 10.He’s close.I would put him at 11 or 12.
I would swap Vick and Ryan and then put Romo at 9.
You know who’s at #8.
None other than one Josh Freeman.
If you guys haven’t seen this guy play let me tell you he’s a stud.
I put him and Ryan ahead of Romo basically because of potential.
They’re a lot younger and have much more upside.
The first 6 QB’s are just about right on.
Flacco,Schaub,Sanchez,and Bradford are in the top 15.
