Football Romo/Rivers/Cutler..career losers or franchise QBs? - Page 16

Whats your take on these guys? Would these guys be 5-0 on the Chiefs.....or do they make too many mistakes and turnovers in critical situations? Sure, they put up great "box scores" , but so did Jeff George......

Cutler doesn't even belong in the same sentence as the other two.

One could argue that both Eli and Flacco are game managers that simply went on playoff hot streaks. While most of those teams also had elite defenses backing them and all were certainly far more well-rounded than any Cowboys team since Romo took Bledsoe's job.

Eli is a game manager - LOL

What can't Eli do - Win a championship game?

Do you know whom he had to beat to get there?

Do you know how many big plays Eli has made in his career?

How many big hits has he taken without getting hurt?

Before this year, Eli has ranked #1 in clutch quarterbacks in the past decade.

You do know that the Giants do not have a running game this year or an offensive line - None.

How was Tom Brady last night without Gronk?

You do not have an offensive line in the NFL you lose.

Yeah, Eli is a game manager all right.

F joke!

Eli's play is increasingly indicative of a game manager type who is miscast in the role of franchise QB.

To your point - "Miscast" is obviously an oversimplification.

It is hard to believe that an NFL team who is looking to win a Super Bowl, would kick Eli off their team.

Two Superbowl wins....

Meh...game manager

The more i read CP the more i realize that there have only ever been two franchise QB's in the history of the NFL.

P.Manning and Brady.

The rest? Meh. Game Managers.

I don't see either of the 3 carrying a team to greatness... Rivers might be the exception, but barring the early career success, he hasn't done anything lately. He might have a shot if the team improves.

Cutler and Romo... I don't see either of them doing anything ever.

tecumseh · 12-16-2013, 03:17 PM

I'd go with Rivers. He's seemed to do better when a free reign. Romo is just the opposite, IMO. Cutler is is streaky china. And Cutler is a diva.

tecumseh · 12-16-2013, 03:18 PM

Given a free reign.

If Eli is a game manager we are going to have to redefine what a game manager is. He averages 3500 yds, 22 TD's and 16 INT's a season.

I think SD and Rivers has responded well to the coaching change... and he seems to be working well with Frank Reich, I believe that's who he has right now working with him.

Eli is NOT a game manager... he's not ELITE, but he's not average.

ThaVirus · 12-16-2013, 03:33 PM

Eli's a gunslinger.

.. And he pretty much lucked ass backwards into those Super Bowls.

**** that guy.

Totally agree. Also he is alot better than Romo

**Easy 6** · 12-16-2013, 04:13 PM

If Eli had Romo's athletic ability and arm he'd be HOF quality.

On a related note, KC Connection must've said some form of "i'm not letting the national media dictate my opinion of Romo and neither should you".

What he doesn't understand is that i don't need them to tell me about him, the national media makes sure i get to watch way more of his games than i want to... and what i consistently see, more than any other starting QB is that, when it counts, he's the worst decision maker in the NFL.
