I believe you already know my answer. Joel Send a noteboard - 14/09/2012 12:58:16 PM
Which quarterback is better? (Individual stats or team success or both, whatever metric you want to use)

QB #1
Age: 32
97.3 QB rating (2nd all time)
64.6% Completion
21,141 yards
8.1 yards per attempt
152 TD
73 Int
78 games started (First started 2006)
Team W/L record: 48-30 (62%)
Team W/L playoff record: 1-3 (3 playoff apperances)

QB #2
Age: 31
82.2 QB rating
58.5% Completion
27,792 yards
7.0 yards per attempt
186 TD
129 Int
120 games started (First started 2004)
Team W/L record: 69-51 (58%)
Team W/L playoff record: 8-3 (2 championships; 5 playoff apperances)

Romo is far better statistically (comparing their TD% and Int% demonstrates that better than the totals though) but in critical situations where QBs must succeed to keep the teams season alive, Manning is much better. So I would want Romo to start on my fantasy football team but Manning to start on my REAL one.

Help me settle argument about NFL QBs Dark Knight - 13/09/2012 06:20:48 PM 932 Views
Ben Roethlisberger is better than Philip Rivers as of now, regardless of stats. Anonymous2000 - 13/09/2012 07:06:34 PM 680 Views
Is that who you think these QBs are? *NM* Dark Knight - 13/09/2012 07:23:20 PM 367 Views
So if they traded QBs they would switch places in ranking? random thoughts - 13/09/2012 07:37:26 PM 786 Views
Good points, but these aren't Rivers and Roethlisberger lol *NM* Dark Knight - 13/09/2012 08:08:57 PM 378 Views
argument is the same no matter who the QB is and I think I have made my opinions clear on the others *NM* random thoughts - 13/09/2012 08:33:16 PM 444 Views
Is this the third post about that same argument? Nate - 13/09/2012 08:12:03 PM 779 Views
I'm sorry, is this not a free country? Dark Knight - 13/09/2012 08:26:21 PM 712 Views
Right, well. Nate - 13/09/2012 08:43:02 PM 849 Views
Re: Right, well. Dark Knight - 13/09/2012 08:48:27 PM 867 Views
If you want to have that debate more broadly, then it's more interesting. Nate - 13/09/2012 09:17:50 PM 832 Views

Sorry, the FG attempt was not blocked: Romo bobbled the snap, then ran for 0 yards. Joel - 14/09/2012 01:18:08 PM 896 Views
Wrong game Dark Knight - 14/09/2012 01:31:23 PM 725 Views
Ah; in that case staggering into ones own endzone and taking a knee is on the ball carrier, yes. Joel - 14/09/2012 09:43:51 PM 861 Views
...in the 1st qtr! They were up by 12 with 5 mins to go. So... *NM* Dark Knight - 14/09/2012 10:09:27 PM 440 Views
Yeah, remember that, too, but those 5 Giants points made the difference. Joel - 14/09/2012 10:30:56 PM 798 Views
But a Manning by any other name doesn't throw as many picks random thoughts - 13/09/2012 09:48:08 PM 724 Views

post something else and these three post won't seem as important random thoughts - 13/09/2012 08:36:29 PM 744 Views
For once I agree with you completely. Joel - 14/09/2012 01:11:20 PM 819 Views
Me too. You filty commie bastards. Cannoli - 14/09/2012 11:28:37 PM 976 Views
OK, I am starting to feel dirty now, but it was worth it to hear someone call rt a commie. Joel - 15/09/2012 12:13:12 AM 857 Views
According to Wikipedia, you're talking about... Legolas - 13/09/2012 09:05:26 PM 680 Views

I told you, Wikipedia. Legolas - 13/09/2012 09:49:32 PM 949 Views
Same argument - Eli >> Romo due to leadership, big games, and championships. *NM* Anonymous2000 - 13/09/2012 10:31:12 PM 336 Views
So a game manager is a better QB than a skilled QB? Dark Knight - 14/09/2012 12:08:43 AM 701 Views
No, but a 2-time Super Bowl MVP that led two game-winning drives is better..... Anonymous2000 - 14/09/2012 01:06:18 AM 700 Views
No questions Dark Knight - 14/09/2012 01:12:09 AM 709 Views

Romo hasn't been the same since Jessica Simpson dumped him. Anonymous2000 - 14/09/2012 01:52:50 AM 784 Views
Ha! He dumped her Dark Knight - 14/09/2012 02:16:56 AM 808 Views
and Eli has been great since he threw a fit about who was drafting him *NM* random thoughts - 14/09/2012 11:31:23 AM 331 Views
If Romo was playing on the Giants last year they would have done much better than 9-7 random thoughts - 14/09/2012 11:30:36 AM 768 Views
And lost out before the NFC championship Cannoli - 17/09/2012 11:01:59 AM 838 Views
A few tangential notes, mainly for tangential discussion. Joel - 18/09/2012 01:00:12 AM 864 Views
Wait, you're way overstating something. callandor1000 - 17/09/2012 03:14:45 AM 779 Views
Another good point; well said. Joel - 18/09/2012 01:16:11 AM 762 Views
Well you got that answer right even if you missed the question *NM* random thoughts - 13/09/2012 09:36:53 PM 331 Views
Excellent. *NM* Legolas - 13/09/2012 09:50:43 PM 335 Views
That is somewhat ironic, since Hasselbeck also has the Super Bowl appearance Romo lacks. Joel - 14/09/2012 01:03:06 PM 847 Views
And that is why Jim McMahon is a greater QB than Dan Moreno and Danny White random thoughts - 14/09/2012 01:39:27 PM 705 Views
The '05 Seahawks D is nothing like that of the '85 Bears, and neither is that of the '07/'11 Giants. Joel - 14/09/2012 09:45:34 PM 780 Views
Hasselbeck had Alexander Dark Knight - 14/09/2012 10:17:07 PM 725 Views

Tony did just beat Eli. MonCul - 13/09/2012 11:28:00 PM 767 Views
Romo does well in the first game of the season, Eli does well in the last game of the season. Anonymous2000 - 13/09/2012 11:55:13 PM 826 Views
As a Lions fan, all I can say about the two is... everynametaken - 14/09/2012 09:00:15 PM 698 Views
Ah, yes, Detroit; they were down 27-3 to Dallas at the end of the third quarter, right? Joel - 14/09/2012 09:51:01 PM 828 Views
End of the half Dark Knight - 14/09/2012 10:13:24 PM 762 Views
Box score says it was 20-3 at the half. Joel - 14/09/2012 10:22:40 PM 870 Views
Re: Box score says it was 20-3 at the half. Dark Knight - 14/09/2012 11:04:56 PM 774 Views
Yeah, OK 27-3 with 10:30 left in the third; you got me to look it up after all. Joel - 15/09/2012 12:33:53 AM 807 Views
I believe you already know my answer. Joel - 14/09/2012 12:58:16 PM 724 Views
Based only on those numbers, I say #1 is better. Palatine - 14/09/2012 02:21:17 PM 697 Views
Heh, I guess an Eagles fan is an unbiased, if not totally objective, arbiter. Joel - 14/09/2012 09:35:47 PM 739 Views
How dare you, sir? Palatine - 15/09/2012 06:46:34 PM 783 Views
Not at all; I was AFFIRMING your objectivity. Joel - 17/09/2012 05:43:02 PM 793 Views

You honed in on and explained the difference perfectly. Joel - 17/09/2012 05:48:21 PM 807 Views
Repeating your bad argument doesnt make it valud *NM* random thoughts - 18/09/2012 12:30:22 AM 337 Views
Clearly it is not solely MY argument. Joel - 18/09/2012 12:34:45 AM 766 Views
