Go ahead and rank em. Favre is currently 3 behind Brady and P. Manning.
I ranked him # 1 of course. I am a bit biased though.

I can't bring myself to put Romo in the top 5. Mostly because of the team he plays on. Dallass is the team I hate most in the NFL. Always have and always will. Too bad Romo didn't end up on a team that I don't dislike as much then he would have been # 4. Dallass deserves Grossman.
i really dont see how rothlisbergerphgrrrr (i can't spell his name) is not better than romo
It's "Rothlishamburgler!!!" :lol:i really dont see how rothlisbergerphgrrrr (i can't spell his name) is not better than romo
I know this will seem way out but the way Peyton's a bit off this year I might actually go Brady, Romo Favre Manning but maybe that's based to much on stats. I don't think Romo could do what Favre;s doing with this team
I don't think Romo belongs in the top 10. Not just because I hate the cows but because he hasn't shown he can continue at this level. He has had what....about 1.5 seasons? Give him a few more seasons. If he continues to play well (especially without a great O-line) then I may break him into the top 5.
Favre on the other hand has continued to prove he can get it done over the long haul. Same with Manning.

I don't think Brady, Manning, or Romo could do what Favre has done in his shoes. For one none of them are ever hit so I don't think they could do what Favre does with a separated shoulder or a strained right elbow and with some of the pressure Favre has faced. Don't get me wrong, I think our line does a good job, but the protection Brady and Manning get is just ridiculous and Romo's protection is better than Favre's (though not to the same extent as Manning or Favre). None of them played without a competent run game for seven weeks. Favre has also been able to produce even when he's been missing weapons (such as when Jennings was out and not having Franks) and when his line has been banged up. We all saw how Manning struggled when he didn't have Harrison. So yeah, Brady, Manning, and Romo are great quarterbacks and what they do is outstanding, but in spite of all their skills, I don't feel they could have the same success Favre has had this year if they were in his position.

Are you serious????
19 td's in 10 games last year...35 in 13 this year. 35 touchdowns!!!! And that's with losing Terry Glenn, their no. 2 receiver. You can't tell me this guy isn't a top 5 qb, let alone a top 10! He's a great improviser, has a very good arm, and can fit the ball into tight spaces (Favre-esque). He's not Brett, but he's a damn good quarterback. He's already had the best year ever for a QB quarterback (regular season, anyways), and that's saying something.

Yes, I am serious. Look at the guidelines they judged the QBs by. One was I believe how long they had been doing their thing. Give him another season or 2 at his current level and I would move him up. No doubt he looks good now. I would like to see him during a season where the team is struggling with some injuries to their O line and not just missing a number 2 receiver. A # 2 receiver?? Who cares? Try it with his # 1 missing like Manning has this last half season. Or try it with no running game to speak of and only one quality receiver like Favre has many times. He has had a solid team around him his whole short career. I think most of the top 15 could do just as well given the team he has to work with.
There were no guidelines, just at what level each quarterback is playing this year.
It's not unheard of. Quarterbacks are human like everyone else. Are you telling me that you have never seen a QB start strong and flounder?You say "no doubt he looks good now"....is if he is supposed to decline the more acclimated he gets to the game?
And that's because he has a solid team around him. #2 isn't that big of a deal with all the other weapons he has not to mention a solid running game.And missing a number 2 receiver is a big deal. Crayton is an okay no. 3 receiver but definately not a number 2, so defenses can key on T.O. and Romo still gets the ball to his playmakers and spreads the ball around evenly to his backs, TE's, and his wideouts.
He's playing on par with Favre, Manning, and Brady, I really don't know how you can take away from what he's been doing this year...did you see him against the Packers?
If ? could have ? Didn't.Granted we were without Woodson, but if T.O. didn't have that drop in the end zone, Romo would have gone for 300+ yards and 5 TD's instead of the 4 TD's and 1 int like he did.
And boo hoo that Peyton loses Marvin Harrison, he has the best no. 2 receiver in the league with Reggie Wayne who's a top 10 receiver in the NFL, arguably top 7 or 8.
I know Romo's a cowboy and we're supposed to hate all things non-packer, but just watch the kid play! He's had 7 straight games with a 100+ rating, and led a comeback against the Lions with 2 minutes on the clock and no timeouts. The only thing he has to do now is win in the playoffs and he'll get the respect he deserves. Don't get me wrong, GB is my team and Favre is my quarterback, and I'll take Favre over Romo anyday, but to say that theres 15 quarterbacks in the NFL that could do what Romo is doing right now is just ridiculous.
All I'm saying is give him some time and a little adversity and let's see.
I'm just not a Romosexual like a lot of others are.

Webster defines adversity as blowing your first playoff game with a botched hold and having that on your conscience for the entire offseason and having everyone doubt your big game ability and the ability to bounce back from what would be a career damaging incident for some quarterbacks.
2007 season: 35 td's, 14 ints, 3654 yards, 107.7 rating. Through 13 games. I'd say he overcame a little adversity

So that's all the adversity he ever faced? Then the kid has never faced adversity.
Give it a rest. I'm not here to argue Romo. I'm not changing my opinion and I don't think you will either.
