That is kinda like what Larry the Cable guy says...."It's like wipin before you crap.......it just don't make sense".

So in that analogy, Romo is the crap? LOL.

Palmer, 1171 yards, 10 tds, 6 ints
Roethlisberger, 1013 yards, 9 tds, 3 ints
Garrard, 848 yards, 4 tds, 0 ints.

Not sure who he would push out there, he needs to put up better numbers to be considered. Garrard is not making mistakes, but he's not playing the game to win either, he's playing not to lose. (not that there is anything wrong with that if it works, but it's rare that conservative QB's with low numbers make the pro bowl)

He has one less game than everyone on that list. Rate stats, man!!

Here's the lowdown on Garrard: 7.8 Y/A on 67% completion. He's got no picks in over 100 attempts. That's why if the season ended today, he'd be in the probowl.

The season doesn't end today, but Garrard is still having a damn good season.

I would consider it highly ill regular if there was a thread on a Cowboys fan board titled for Jason Campbell, and that thread was the 3rd most read and 3rd most active thread on the board.

And that is what you have here...a Romo thread taking over a Redskins board.

If he really was "crap" as you say....then why waste all that time talking about it on your fan board?

That's because Campbell is too hard to spell for the typical posters found on a Cowboys fan board.

On a serious note, I did read where Romo's father was diagnosed with cancer a couple of days after the Bears game. I can definitely see that kind of news having an impact on anyone's performance. I hate to see anyone, friend or foe, have to deal with that.

Fact is Romo plays his butt off and I haven't seen or heard him run his mouth. It's a terrible waste for him to be a member of the Cowboys organization.

Not everyone...Palmer has 4 games as well.

Well, considering in the past 9 seasons, here is the break down on how many QB's have been sent to the pro bowl from the AFC:
1998- 3
1999- 3
2000- 4
2001- 3
2002- 3
2003- 3
2004- 3
2005- 5
2006- 3

So as you can see, they send 3 QB's from the AFC most of the time. No way is he having a better season than Brady and Manning (that is not debatable), so Garrard would have to beat out Palmer and Roethlisberger for that last spot. (he should be able to beat out Anderson, so I'll just drop him out now, but if he continues his hot hand, he'll have to come back in) Do you really think Garrard's 1 td per game average is enough to beat out those two? Big ben is averaging just under 2 tds per game, and a +6 TD to INT ratio, and Palmer has a 2.5 td per game average with a +4 td to int ratio (same amount of games and butt load more tds and passing yards.) So while I do agree Garrard is looking decent, he is not a pro bowler just yet. He would be my 5th choice in AFC. Not to mention the pro bowl is a popularity contest and Palmer and Big Ben have much better well known names.

Garrard is on pace for 16 td's, I can't think of anyone in recent memory (Minus Vick) that has made the pro bowl with only 16 tds over the course of the season.
So while I understand your comments for lifting Garrard up, don't lift him up too high. He deserves to be ranked around #5 or so in the AFC, but that doesn't make him a pro bowler.

I never once said he was crap, just pointing out that you used an analogy that compared him to crap. Kinda funny.

I don't think it matters what is the most active thread...we had a thread on here (forgot what SS renamed it) that got over 5000 posts...it was a thread about nothing...whatever we wanted to talk about that night.
If we made a thread that said "the cowboys suck!" it would get more posts and hits than this thread. Quite frankly I don't see you point in even saying anything about it. We'll talk about nothing at all, and the "super happy fun thread" has something like 3000 posts and that's mainly about utube.

I am still not sold on Romo. I'm think'n maybe a one hit wonder... I think this cowboys team could probably win with even grossman as their QB.
