When will sportscasters finally admit that Romo is NOT a good QB? He can manage a game and shows flashes from time to time, but when the game or season is on the line he is one of the last people to be entrusted to take the team to the top.

He proved it again last night.

Danny White wouldn't have lost the game.

He's the Donovan McNabb of white quarterbacks.

I'm not sure if I'd denigrate McNabb to that degree. I'd compare Romo to, oh, say, Dieter Brock, Marc Wilson, Gary Hogeboom, Steve Pelleur, Trent Dilfer, etc....

The Sirens' star RB/KR who won a gold medal with Team USA in the first Women's World Championship of American Football had this to say about Tony Romo on FB today. I think she has a point.

"Charlie Brown is a better kicker than [Tony] Romo is a QB."

Well the sportscasters were drooling all over him during the game. Right up to the end they were rimming his a$$ talking about how hard this loss would be on him.

I love watching Dallas lose to Washington. It is as if the stars are back in their proper places.

At least McNabb played in a couple of NFC Championships and the Super Bowl neither of which Romo can claim.

At least McNabb played in a couple of NFC Championships and puked on the field in the Super Bowl neither of which Romo can claim.

Guess you must have forgotten those losses vs Philadelphia and Washington in those NFC Championship games in the early 80s!!!

I agree that McNabb is bettter than Romo, but both have been way over rated.

I would take Dilfer off of your list, he won a Super Bowl. He may have been along for the ride while the Raven defense did most of the work, but he was smart enough to not lose the big game.

He was never an elite QB, very good, but not elite. The national media often portrayed him as elite. When the Eagles traded him to DC there were national talking heads saying how stupid the Eagles were for trading him in the division. Turns out the Eagles were right, McNabb wasn't that good. McNabb sucked in Minnesota too.

In his prime McNabb would have flashes of greatness, but the would also have spells where every pass was in the turf. He was way too inconsistent.

Then explain why he had most successful career of all those QBs in that class of '99.Only Culpepper and him had decent careers in that '99 class.He never had a go to guy at the WR position other than TO.Imagine if the Eagles had drafted Moss in '98????

Look at that 99 class...being the best out of that busty of a class isn't saying much.


However, when in his prime he was a top 7-10 qb in the league

Yeah I was never overly impressed with McNabb. Good QB for a while, definitely not an elite QB.

Most successful is a relevant term. McNabb had the most successful career because he was above average and the rest of the guys sucked - that doesn't make McNabb great.

Tony Ohno.

86: You have a good argument there, but consider this: Dilfer is the ONLY guy to be fired immediately after winning the Super Bowl. That says a lot about his game managership vs. a desire to shift to actual field generalship.

Of course, there are NO true field generals anymore, short of P. Manning (maybe). As offense complexity increases, the pressure on coordinators to micromanage playcalling increases. Quarterbacks should be calling their own plays, and discussing drive results with the OC after the defense takes over....
