Schaub > Romo?

[samikeyp]

This thread is just for discussion on whether or not Schaub is better than Romo. Nothing more. The Cowboys are the better team and the record shows it. I have no problem stating that.

+1

IMO, what gives Romo the edge is I think he is better when the play breaks down. Schaub doesn't suck by any means but I still take Romo over him with a slight edge.

[stretch]

Romo also has an incredible run game on his side while Schaub doesn't. The Texans are probably at the bottom 5 in rushing as a team. That doesn't help the play action, which is a big part of the pass offense. If you swap Schaub and Romo I think Schaub would be putting up even better numbers. Romo would be playing like the above average QB that he really is.

yeah he has some good runningbacks, unfortunately he has the worst OC in the league that doesnt know how the to balance it out ever. either he runs the ball way too damn much or throws it way too much.

lets see schaub actually do something to help get his team get to the playoffs for once. then we can talk about him being an elite QB. lets also see him do this with some consistency. at least romo has been putting up very solid numbers for several years now. schaub puts up some truly good numbers for the first time in his career, and texan fans suddenly anoint him as some elite QB. rofl

[stretch]

That doesn't change the fact that he is still significantly better than Romo in almost every statistical category with a lot less.

lol for the first time in his career he has better stats than romo, but with the best receiver in the NFL

This thread is crap

I don't think anyone said anything about elite. Being a better QB than Romo doesn't make one elite, it just makes them better than an above average QB. There are only 3 elite QBs in this league. Peyton, Brady and Brees. All others are just different grades of average. Some above and many below average.

didn't watch the game, but a resounding yes! In response to the original question

considering your obsession with stats in this argument, judging by stats, romo most definitely is elite. the guy has put up damn good stats his whole career.

true, but has failed when the pressure is applied.

Yeah but when has Matt Schaub ever come through in a pressure situation? Never, because he's never gotten his team far enough to ever be in a pressure situation.

[LOL@MavsFan]

LOL even comparing that scrub to Romo LOL LOL!
LOL Texans

[monosylab1k]

Romo >>>>>>>>>>>> Schaub, it's not even debatable until Schaub can lead his team to the playoffs. , just lead them to a winning record for once in franchise history.

[Spursfan092120]

true, but has failed when the pressure is applied.

you mean like Saturday? How do we know Schaub won't fail in a pressure situation? He hasn't even been put in one because he hasn't even given his team an opportunity to reach the playoffs. And they won't get there this year either..and once more, Dallas will be in the playoffs, and Texans fans will be bashing them while their team sits at home.

But, but, but Romo has teh more weapons

[SpuronyourFace]

Texan fan is trying to use stats(which are pretty similar to eachother) to grasp for something to hold on to. Romo is clearly a better QB. Any unbiased person will tell you that.

Using the argument of Stats thus far in the season is a meaningless argument. Its stupid really. "Oh look Shaub has more passing yards than Brees, Brady, Rivers, Romo, Rodgers, Roethlisberger, Farve, that must mean he is a better QB than all of them. YEA, we have the best QB in the leage after Peyton" - Texan fan............. , Shaub is not even playing well enough to be the second best QB in their division.

Romo has performed better, hurt his team less, as Shaub has 6 more INTs than Romo, and is just quarterbacking better. AND he has his team in playoff contention for the 4th year in a row. Shaub can't even get his team to above .500. Getting a team to .500 is child's play for Romo. I'll take the former over the latter.

When I think of Shaub, I think of the Shaub failed comeback againt Jacksonville, I think of him missing a wide open td against Arizona and then throwing a pick on the next possession. I think of the Indy comeback and Shaub INT for Indy to seal the game. Just to name a few. He has not played bigtime. He is in a pass happy offense with the best WR in the league.

These guys are not elite, and their careers are still young. Their roles can easily reverse. But thus far their is no question who the better QB is. Its Romo.

[SpuronyourFace]

But, but, but Romo has teh more weapons

I'll will happy trade our stable of WR for the Texan's stable.

[Spursfan092120]

You know what's funny? You look back at a certain Miles Austin thread when he was just hitting his stride, and all the Texans fans were talking about how their wide receivers were so much better than what the Cowboys had to offer. Now, they're sitting at 7-7 and we're sitting at 9-5, and our overall weapons are so much better.

I don't think you can leave Rivers off. He's better than Brady this year.

Texans QB Schaub added to Pro Bowl roster

Texans quarterback Matt Schaub has been added to the AFC Pro Bowl roster after New England's Tom Brady was forced to pull out due to an injury, the NFL released on its Web site late Tuesday night.

Schaub, who will be making his first Pro Bowl appearance, led the NFL in passing with 4,770 yards this season. The other AFC quarterbacks are Peyton Manning of Indianapolis and Phillip Rivers of San Diego.

Schaub joins wide receiver Andre Johnson, defensive end Mario Williams and linebackers Brian Cushing and DeMeco Ryans as Texans representatives on the AFC roster.

The Pro Bowl will be held Jan. 31 in Miami.

He got in the same way as VY before all of you cowboy lovers aka VY nuthuggers pipe in.

[DarrinS]

I'm not a Dallas or Houston fan, so this is an unbiased opinion.

I think Schaub is a good passer, but doesn't get the national recognition that Romo gets. But, I think Romo is more athletic and can extend more plays with his feet.


Advantage Romo.

Yeah I pretty much dont believe one should be credited for a pro bowl if one comes in as an alternate. So in my eyes he isnt a pro bowler, and VY has never been either.

[Dr. Gonzo]

Since Manning won't play because he will be prepping for the SB, who will replace him? VY? If so, does he count as a two-time Pro Bowler?

Technically, yes...in ATRAIN's eyes, no.
