Amani Toomer: Romo >>> Eli Manning

[the next guy]

Amani Toomer says Tony Romo better quarterback than Eli Manning - ESPN

What makes this interesting is that Toomer played with Manning for five seasons in New York.

"Tony Romo is probably, if you look at it, statistically, he's probably the best quarterback in the NFC East," Toomer said on the "Movin' the Chains" show on SiriusXM NFL Radio. "You look at Eli Manning and what he does in the fourth quarter, but you talk about consistency, talking about 31 touchdowns and only 10 interceptions, that guy (Romo) can play."

Romo is 18-19 in his career against the NFC East and 5-7 against the Giants, including three losses at Cowboys Stadium.

Manning, fresh off his second Super Bowl title, is 26-20 versus the NFC East and 9-6 against the Cowboys. He never has lost at Cowboys Stadium.

"I'm talking about for me, if I wanted a guy that is going to throw less interceptions and be more productive, higher completion percentage, I'm going to go with Tony Romo," Toomer said.

Yet, the receiver backtracked slightly when told of Romo's late-game struggles.

Manning has 21 fourth-quarter comebacks and 25 game-winning drives, with four of the victories coming against the Cowboys, including one this past season.

Of Romo's 13 fourth-quarter comebacks, only one has come against the Giants.

"At crunch time, he's not as good as Eli," Toomer said. "But every other time, he's pretty darn good."

Toomer did not address Manning's 2-0 edge over Romo in Super Bowls. Manning has eight playoff wins in his career, including a road victory in Dallas, compared to Romo's one.

While Manning is undefeated in NFC title games, Romo has yet to reach one. Manning also has the head-to-head edge against Romo, winning the past five starts against him.

I guess Toomer would rather lose in flashy fashion then. As far as who had the better statistical season last year is debatable, but I don't think anyone can question the fact that if the Giants had Romo, they wouldn't have even reached the Super Bowl, let alone win it.

I feel what he saying SOMEWHAT...Giants have had a much better team than the Cowboys...but ...the one thing that Eli doesn't do that Romo does is fukk up in the clutch even if it's luck at times.

Romo would've done the exact same thing Eli did in the SB against that Pats defense. You guys forgot my "Being a struggling QB and knowing you have the Pats defense on the schedule unappreciation thread?"

Everyone bodied the Pats defense but Tebow and Sanchez.

 

[SEC Hater]

On Toomers opinion....Romo is ass
