What gets me is that Romo is vilified in this manner (and I take part in that), yet Rivers gets a complete pass when he achieves essentially the same results.

Not sure what the author is smoking, but he needs to pass it around.

The last time I checked, the Seahawks were not exactly on par with the Bills.

I don't think Rivers gets nearly the credit he deserves. This season he's been average on his best day, but for the last three years he's been a 4300 yard, 30 TD/10 Int guy with two AFC championship game apperances, in a conference that has been much, much tougher than the NFC for his entire career. Not only does Romo not match Rivers' numbers, but he hasn't had nearly the success Rivers had had, too. I don't think Romo and Rivers are comparable at all.

Oh good, Bleacher Report. That website is a step above Youtube comments, but sometimes not much.

Romo beats the Seattle Seahawks and the submission gets green-lighted? Nothing against Romo (don't kill me Di), but usually only epic beatdowns or failures get a greenlight.

Eh, it's just lazy reporting. He cites the following as his rationale:

The Bills have one of the worst defenses in the entire league, and will give Romo the chance to throw all over the field against the No. 24 pass defense in the NFL.

Now, that's fine and dandy, but he's somehow overlooking Miles Austin most likely not playing next week, and the fact that unlike the Seahawks, the Bills actually have something resembling an NFL offense, and can hang enough points on the board where the Cowboys probably can't just cruise to a two-score margin victory like they did yesterday.

/I'm not saying Romo will suck next week, but doodles on my notepad at work have more depth than that article.

Seattle will put together two, maybe three halfway decent drives per game. If you can hold them to field goals or get a turnover or two, you're going to beat them. They're just not very good, and probably won't be in the immediate future. As a Seattle fan, it always gives me a chuckle when someone comes along and does well against the 'hawks and is then lauded in the press for having a "breakout game" or return to top form. I recall Derek Anderson kicking the Seahawks around the field back when he played for Cleveland and getting some silly hype. Seriously. Derek Anderson.

Aaah.... why would I kill you? Beating the Seahawks is not worth an article, much less a Fark greenlight. Nobody's acting like we just won the Super Bowl. Everybody knows we beat Seattle and that Seattle is.... Seattle. Romo may very well enjoy a good streak coming up, but that's not really news-worthy. Hell, it's not even Fark-worthy. However, I will say that I'm quite happy that it seems we've found a reliable running back that's not made of glass. I love Felix Jones, but damn, don't look at him sideways.

And seriously, WTF, he dated Jessica Simpson, what.... 3 years ago? Lame. -1

Actually, you can compare the two. You start by looking things up and then comparing the numbers, side by side:

Rivers (new window)

Romo (new window)

They're nearly identical.

Yeah, Murray should have been the discussion. Seattle has been good against the run this year, and I think he is the first to go over 100 on them. The kid is for real.

They play six games every year versus the Raiders, Broncos, and Chiefs. That is an easy slate of games.

Also, the Eagles and Giants are in the same division.

He's talking about the playoffs, you're talking about the regular season.

His point is that Rivers-led SD teams have made it to the Conference Championships in the tougher conference (AFC) twice, whereas the Romo-led Cowboys have only won a single playoff game in the weaker conference.

Since other people are talking about other QBs:

Difference between Aaron Rodgers' passer rating (129.1) and Drew Brees, who is in second place: 28.5 points.

You know who is 28.5 points worse than Brees? John friggin' Beck (31st in the league).

Rodgers is almost literally playing in a league above everyone else.

Obviously you've never watched Tebow. He does not throw passes that hit the dirt two feet in front of the receiver. He launches passes that go over the receiver's head by 10 yards.

He does both. And you know what that means? That means that Tim Tebow is versatile. And what does that mean? It means he has the same quality that all great quarterbacks in the National Football League have. It means he's a winner. Damn, I'm proud to know Tim Tebow.

SkittlesAreYum: I had no idea the Chargers had that much postseason success. To hear everyone talk about them I thought they went one-and-done every year.

They don't go one and done every year (like the Cowboys, on those rare years when they actually GET to the playoffs), they just underachieve once they get there. I was going to attribute it all to Norv Turner, but then I realized that the Deliverance extra country bumpkin the Cowboys called a head coach for the past few seasons wasn't doing Romo and Dallas any favors, either.


I'm not sure what's going on with Rivers this year, but from 2008-2010 he was surely one of the game's elite QB's. I'd like to see him get back to that, especially since I drafted him in the 2nd round this year.

I know the Pac-10 is first with 18 super bowl starts (Big-10 is second with 13, SEC has 12).

In terms of super bowl winners though, I don't know, though I do suspect that the Pac-10 will come out on top there, too/
