Romo’s nasty…plain and simple. My only knock on him has been the fact that he has basically been handed the torch of best QB without having won a significant game. That's definitely more of a knock on the media then on Romo, but I guess that’s the kind of popularity that comes with being a Cowboy QB. And I do think he’ll win some playoff games in his career, and probably a SB ring too, but he hasn’t yet. Brady had to win a LOT to get the recognition he deserved and had to prove himself time and time again, as have guys like McNabb and Peyton Manning. It just seemed to me like Romo snuck into a perfect situation, started throwing touchdowns, and suddenly was the best thing going.
As for why I would pick him above pretty much anyone else, and I know this seems simple, but what separates him is that quick release. It’s nuts...it's soooo quick. One second he’ll have the ball, and if you blink, the next second the ball will be in mid-air down the field. That’s a very powerful weapon for a QB to have. He’s also very accurate, has good mobility, and has a certain confidence and swagger that you would simply want your QB to have. There were points last year where Eli Manning would take the field and it looked like he just watched his dog get shot, and I don’t care how talented you are, you won’t get very far if you don’t have confidence…and Romo definitely does.
