Are you saying that reading constantly changing defenses while deciding whether to audible or not and trying to deliver the ball while 300 lb. linemen are trying to rip your head off with the occasional blitz of a LB, safety or DB whose sole purpose is to knock you into next week, is harder than trying to hit a ball in a hole while everyone is trying to be quiet so as not to break your concentration? Comeon Matty. What are you thinking man?

Nah, it's tougher to step away and think about your next shot for 10 minutes, then take 20 practice swings, then grip, re-grip, grip, re-grip, step away and think some more, all with a crowd so quiet you can hear a pin drop. LOL

A pro golfer couldnt play QB and a pro QB couldnt play on the PGA tour. Each sport has its own unique skill set and IMO its hard to say that playing one sport is tougher than the other. It could be argued that hitting a baseball is the toughest thing to do in sports. Its all relative and they are all tough to do.

A pro QB would stand a better chance at trying to be a pro golfer than a pro golfer would trying to be a pro QB.

Yes they do have different skill requirements and I'm not trying to knock golfers, but in my opinion I can't imagine anything being more difficult in pro sports than playing QB. And that includes hitting a baseball.

The split second decision making, the ability to read a defense, the knowledge required to play the position, the leadership, the guts and courage, the physical skills, etc. To be a top flight QB you have to have it all. Nothing compares IMO.

Are you talking top flight QB or just a pro QB? There arent many top flight pro QBs, maybe 5, which is 4 more than there is of Tiger Woods.

There's also only one Peyton Manning, but being top flight at your craft does not mean you have to match Tiger (or Tom Brady/Joe Montana/Terry Bradshaw) in Championships.

Who said anything about championships? Tiger is far & away the best at what he does. Manning is great but Brady is just as good.

Well, I mean, sort of. No one really disputes the fact that Tiger is the best golfer on the planet, but there are other elite golfers as well.

Manning is clearly the best quarterback on the planet, but that doesn't mean Brady and Brees aren't also elite.

It's a good comparison. The point is, you don't have to be the greatest ever to be at the top of your field.

During the match I saw Romo on TV and wondered why he's getting all this attention. Oh well, anything to add to the pressure of playing in the NFL. If Romo hs his mind on golf and Jessica, maybe we'll slaughter the Cowboys.

the only thing good about romo is jessica and they booth suck

Check it out. Some skins there too, including Rock, JC, ARE, and Suisham. Looks like even though Romo had some bandwagon fans there, the skins fans gave him some hell.

I would think they could pick someone better than Romo to team w/ Tiger in DC. Maybe it's drawn though, who knows. At least we get to look at Jessica S.

Romo is a hell of a golfer that is why he's playing with Tiger. He isn't going to T it up with a few hacks from the Redskins.

JC and ARE are not even at hack status. What they should have done was recognized they arent ready to play in an even like that and say thanks but no thanks.

Pick anyone else, anyone. But I suppose Romo is the sexy choice.

It's a charity event, no?

Who cares if they can't play.

The entire tourney (like other PGA Tour events) is a charity event not just the pro am. I suspect their playing partners were in agony for 5 hrs having to watch them chop away so I would say their playing partners cared. The fans didnt mind it was hillarious watching them try to play golf.
