ieatcrayonz Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 ESPN put up an interesting stat on SportsCenter today. They listed the QB's who had a 5 TD game before they were 25. Here is the list Romo Kurt Warner Cuaozzo Van Brocklin So he is in a group of four with one guy who had a good, but short, run and then fell flat, and two other guys that no one has ever heard of. Plus, when Warner was with the Rams there was a ton of talent around him. Dallas is good, but not that good. I think it is just a coincidence and Romo might or might not do well, but that is a pretty poor group right there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stick a fork in him............... 846871[/snapback] There's 10 years of game film on Manning. When is someone going to shut him down? and it's not just Manning. I could pick any starting QB in the NFL and plug it into this sentence... There's (x) years of game film on (starting QB). Do they get shut down every week?

My mistake. The main point still holds. No one has ever heard of the other two and Warner had such a great team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloWings Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 There's 10 years of game film on Manning. When is someone going to shut him down? and it's not just Manning. I could pick any starting QB in the NFL and plug it into this sentence... There's (x) years of game film on (starting QB). Do they get shut down every week? 846879[/snapback] True....but while the opponents make adjustments to the QB, the great QBs adjust to those adjustments. Manning (Peyton) being one of them. I'll wait and see what happens when opposing defenses are able to shut him down. If Romo bounces back from those games and makes the appropriate adjustments, then I'll start to give him the benefit of the doubt. While he's having a good run right now, I think the jury is still out on him - and will be for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike1011 Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 Warner would've been good if his thumb didn't break so many times. Warner didn't lose it, he lost his physical ability, his spiral, and his confidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CFLstyle Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 If he is dating her, that has to drive Parcells nuts. He hates stuff like that. Must be driving Drew nuts too. Romo has his job and the girl! 846881[/snapback] I don't think Parcells will have any problem with it whatsoever after how he played on Thursday. Gotta stick with what works!

Lofton80 Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 Most impressive thing about Romo thus far is that he has 9 td's to 1 int in the red zone where many QB's struggle. I keep waiting for his bubble to burst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
