Romo should be last on that list.

[SAtown]

Well it's "QBs at the moment," and the little explanation says it all. Romo's blown the last few games, including the forgettable Washington game. No worries, everyone knows that Romo is a much better decision-maker than Eli.

[macdude06]

But the washington game we already had everything locked up...no need to go out there and get hurt and win and run the 1st team offense...eli wins one game and now everyone is saying he is turning over the new eli...the giants are 1-5 against playoff teams this yr...that speaks for itself

[SAtown]

That's what I mean. No one wanted to be there that day, so you might as well scratch that game. I don't believe in this momentum crap, especially when there is a bye week in the middle of it.

[macdude06]

exactly...romo gos to the beach...and eli beats an old tampa offense and young D and hes the next payton! romo gets watched just as much as or more than britney spears!!

[SAtown]

The list should be:

Brady
Manning
Favre
Romo
Garrard
Hasselbeck
Rivers
Eli

[macdude06]

im w/ you on the top 4...but then i go haselback garrard eli rivers!

damn i hate rivers!

[stretch]

The list should be:

Brady
Manning
Favre
Romo
Garrard
Hasselbeck
Rivers
Eli
I'd put Hasselbeck above Rivers without a doubt. Maybe above Garrard too, because he has more playoff experience.

[Fillmoe]

wheres big ben on your list?

[TheSanityAnnex]

Out of the playoffs.

[J.T.]

Phil Rivers is definitely the worst QB left in the playoffs.

[Boston Pancake]

Brady
Manning
Favre
Hasselbeck
Homo
Eli
Garrard
Rivers

[fyatuk]

Can't argue with it if you're basing it on the last few weeks. I'd certainly put Brady, P Manning, Farve, Garrard, and E Manning above Romo based on recent play.

[TheSanityAnnex]

Phil Rivers is definitely the worst QB left in the playoffs.Where's Brodie Bruce?

Rivers had one of the best weeks for a QB during wild card weekend. I applaud Garrard for his 41.9 QB ranking.http://spurstalk.com/forums/images/smilies/clap.gif

Out of the playoffs.


i see, i didnt read the initial article....

you could write off the washington game by itself, but he wasn't playing well going into that game, so there is a bit of a trend going there.

i think most people would take him any day of the week (including this sunday) over Eli, but it's not completely outlandish to say otherwise right now either.

[samikeyp]

IMO, Romo is more talented but at the moment...Eli is playing better.

Based on recent weeks... Romo has not played well in the past what, month. Garrard has played well all season, and had some trouble in the wildcard.

I didn't say I thought Garrard was better, only that over the past few weeks he's played better.

Note that Romo's downturn happened to be at the same time as 2 injuries along the offensive line and TO. And of course his bum thumb.

[macdude06]

but romo has been pretty consistent all season long (besides buffalo) and washington on the end..but that was meaningless..w/ a bum thumb he did what he needed to beat the panthers...and always seems to find a way to win..even w/ 5 picks...u cant say that bout eli...hes up and down and hes not clutch when u need it...i.e patriots pick in the 4th...garrard has been great w/ the no ints but hes no throwing many tds..but he is consistent but that running game is holding that team together...and damn i just hate RIVERS!!!! nothing to say bout him...but a shit talker

actually, he wasn't overly consistent at all in the past month. He was awful against Philly, his numbers were better against Carolina than his actual play, and the Washington defense whooped him (yes, they had nothing to play for, but if you take the field - your performance will be evaluated).

[BeerIsGood!]

This pretty much says it all right here:

"Denny Tsettos, West Orange, N.J.: I can't turn on any sports TV show or radio program without everyone saying that the Giants will crush the Cowboys. From all the shows on ESPN to Sirius NFL Radio, no one is giving the Cowboys any chance of winning this game. Please give me some hope other than to put on earmuffs until Sunday!

Mickey: That would be a start. Funny how the NFL has turned into a "now" league. The Giants lose two of their final three games, and four of their final eight, but they go out and defeat an offensively-challenged team playing with no more than a backup running back, a quarterback who had thrown all of 13 touchdown passes all season and their best wide receiver trying to gamely play through a shoulder injury and suddenly they have turned their season around. If Terrell Owens is healthy enough to play, I think the Giants might be in for a little shock. "

Do you even believe yourself? That's a stupid ass remark, the team treated the game as a bye. You can evaluate shit all you want, but it doesn't have any bearing on anything if it was a throw away game handled as such. As it stands now it doesn't look like that big of a deal because the skins showed themselves to be the shitty team they are last week.

[BeerIsGood!]

If the Cowboys win this week I'm going to take a giant shit all over this board - give out nothing but "fuck you's" to a lot of people here, and dedicate about three threads to nothing but FUCK ESPN and their bullshit.

Thank you!

Eli is getting made into the next coming of his brother..when hes a phillip rivers type guy...plaxico bails him out alot...but theres no way eli has more momentum going into the playoffs than romo..

[J.T.]

I guess Eli gets no love for nutting 4 TDs on the BEST DEFENSE IN THE NFL, BEST SHUTDOWN CORNER IN THE NFL (who got burned for a TD in that game), etc in Week 17?

Eli is the third worst QB in the divisional round. Ahead of Garrard, who I'm not sold on and will be exposed tomorrow, and Philip Rivers, who has never played in the RCA Dome and is in for a surprise.

[SAtown]

Brady

Farve

Eli
