NFL Offseason Thread: March 3, 2011. A date which will live in infamy.

[Flarega]

We take our preseason seriously in SF. Don't fuck wit us.

[Flarega]

Unless its the regular season.

[Azull]

Why watch football when you can just look at the stats and get the whole story amirite?

You really going to go so homer that you put Romo in the same category as Rivers? Fine, let's go the stats route. Take a little peak at their stats the past few years.

Almost the same? Rivers is the better QB.. but not by much. Lets not go hater...

[Flarega]

Almost the same? Phillips is the better QB.. but not by much. Lets not go hater...

You are fucking retarded, just like Cam Newton (nice preason btw, he's 1 for 13 to WR targets, lol).

We are talking about a single preseason game, not their entire careers dipshit.

And yeah, Romo does have comparable stats to Rivers, and both have been comparable to Rodgers. Like was already said, Rivers is the better QB but it's not by much - they are both in the non Superbowl winning/non-Eli group right after Peyton/Brees/Brady/Rodgers

[Moss]

That is my face reading that.

Please explain how Rivers is much better than Romo.

[Tyche]

Did you see what Rivers did last year with absolute trash at WR?

[AidenCarby]

How is this up for debate? lol

[Cleverness]

No, seriously, I want you to plainly ask me if I seriously need to explain WHY Rivers is better than Romo.

Philip Rivers. I seriously think we're talking about different people.

[Moss]

Malcom Floyd is not absolute trash. He also had Antonio Gates and Darren Sproles.

The "he did more with less!" argument is a cop-out in this case. We could argue all day about every possible team weakness(but look at his O-Coordinator! but look at his right guard!). Rivers is better than Romo, but they are close.

[Man0warr]

Romo was on pace for over 5k yards last year before getting hurt, he was beastin' in those first 6 games, even though they were still losing thanks to the defense. While Rivers was losing thanks to his ST.

Compare their stats Gadritan, go check out Pro Football Reference. They are almost exactly the same on every stat - Rivers has more yards total (hes played 19 more games) and Romo has a higher TD% (highest active in the league actually).

They are both in the top 5 in Passer Rating ALL TIME. Big difference is Romo had Wade and Jerry while Rivers has Norvball and AJ Smith.

They are comparable, until they win Superbowl(s) they will always be in the 2nd tier.

[Tajin]

passer rating lol

[Moss]

How is this up for debate? lol

No, seriously, I want you to plainly ask me if I seriously need to explain WHY Rivers is better than Romo.

Philip Rivers. I seriously think we're talking about different people.

So many good points being made. How can I ever win this debate?

Also, so this doesn't devolve into a semantics debate:

Rivers > Romo

But saying he is MUCH better than Romo because you guys hate Romo and the Cowboys and Cowboy fans is dumb.

Rivers career: 97.2 rating 63.7% completions 8.01 YPA
Romo career: 95.5 rating 64.1% completions 8.04 YPA

[tyven]

Romo's td last night was p sexual.

[Tajin]

According to ESPN Romo is not even in the race for passer rating.

[Man0warr]

passer rating lol

lol we're comparing passing statistics, you know, what passer rating measures pretty accurately.

According to ESPN Romo is not even in the race for passer rating.

He didn't play enough games to qualify in 2010.

[Cleverness]

Because this is a stupid conversation. Hating on Romo is irrelevant, i'm a Giants fan and I'll still say Eli is fucking average at best.

You can bring up stats, and we can talk about how Rivers has the most YPA 3 years straight, how he has more playoff wins than Romo, how until last year he was pretty much unstoppable in December, how he topped yards last year with an injured Antonio Gates in the 2nd half that left him not as effective. How Rivers against the Colts played through an injury to try and carry the team on his back and in attempt to make a comeback and go to the Super Bowl. And I'll just go AFC > NFC before someone else does it.

That guy makes some of the derpiest faces in all of the NFL, below the Mannings, but seriously, they are not in the same fucking league. At all. There are the god mode QB's, the really good QB's like Rivers, then a class below that lies Romo and several others. You're on some bullshit trying to say that Romo and Rivers are comparable.

you will notice you are on the "qualified" tab. he had a 94.9 before he got hurt.
