Over the last two seasons Rome has thrown 65 touchdowns with 19 interceptions and Eli has thrown 48 touchdowns and 41 interceptions. Hate away but it is hard to get around those numbers. Romo has 5 seasons with 10 or fewer picks Eli has 2. Eli has three seasons with 20 or more picks Romo has none. Eli has two seasons with more picks than TDs while Romo doesn't have any that come close.

You'd think a Cowboys fan of all people would realize that Romo has been playing with elite receivers his entire career, and maybe recall that game between the Giants and Cowboys in one of those more picks than sacks seasons, when Eli "threw" 3 interceptions that bounced out of his receivers' hands and into defenders'. Interceptions are the simple-minded indicator of bad QB performance. At least he has never thrown an interception in the end zone on his team's last play of a playoff game, to a backup cornerback in a second-rate secondary, in a game he was heavily favored to win. Football stats are bullshit, and any self-respecting scientist would laugh his ass off at the idea of people using those numbers to assess ability. Every baseball hit was obtained by a player standing in the same part of the field, performing the exact same action, against almost the same defense as every other. You cannot remotely say that every football yard or touchdown is the same thing or obtained under almost identical conditions. Football stats are talking points, not proof of anything.
Romo has played 129 games and been sacked 242 times for 1.9 times per game Eli has 280 games with 169 sacks for 1.7 sacks per game.
Eli is simply better at getting away, as per my examples. Also your numbers are definitely as off as your opinions. How can more games than sacks result in more than one sack per game? I am fairly certain that Eli had not played in 280 games.
Eli is simply one more example that you don't have to be great QB to win Superbowls and Romo is an example of how hate can unhinge Giant fans and other halfwits.
He isn't necessarily great. He's just better than Romo, which is a fairly low bar to clear.
By the way I'm glad to see you think Dez was being greedy and lunging for the in-zone, I agree that was geedy and a clear football move and that makes it a completed pass.
No, it doesn't. It means he was trying to score before he had the ball secured and made a football move, like a receiver who drops a pass because he turns to head up field before he really has the ball in his hands. The latter is not a fumble, and Bryant's was not a catch.
