Romo/Rivers/Cutler..career losers or franchise QBs?

[Deberg_1990]

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......

Out of all 3 I'd pick Rivers. I feel like with the proper talent around him he'd be elite.

Yeah. that's what they said about him being in KC too.

They opened up the offense for Colin Kaepernick too. They were 1-2, and went back to game managing, and have had two very convincing wins.

Amazing what relying on a strong run game, and protecting the ball will do for a team.

And to O.city, and Romo. They run that team through Romo. They have said that they are going to rely on him. They have a really good running back. They have a lot of pieces on defense. Unfortunately, they didn't stay with Rob Ryan long enough, and address their safeties to give him the help he needed.

Look at how he is doing with the Saints.

People cant have it both ways.

I didn't even mention Alex Smith.

This had nothing to do with him.

IN regards to Cutler, Romo, and Rivers, excuses are made for them, that aren't made for other qbs.

Rivers couldn't get it done, when he had LT. Vincent Jackson, Antonio Gates, and a great defense.

Cutler couldn't do it in Denver with Brandon Marshall, isn't doing it again in Chicago with a plethora of weapons, a great defense.

Romo, who has a hall of famer in Demarcus Ware, all of the offensive weapons. Dez, Miles, Witten.

8-8.

With Tom Brady, or Aaron Rodgers on that team, that is a 12 win team.

That can be a very underrated "skill" in itself... especially for QBs with far more they could give than a Dilfer type. Imagine all of the games a guy like Romo or Rivers could have won had they simply not screwed the team over by forcing passes that were intercepted or not protecting the ball and fumbling it away.

Some quarterbacks get to play for a team with a very strong defense and/or STs.. but lacking offensive firepower. So those QBs had better know how to play more careful, situational football. Take their shots when deemed necessary to... but don't go ape-shit wild trying to do too much on every possession.

I think it's wrong to "punish" these QBs that know the right role to play on their team and do so accordingly.

Franchise qb's yes, in that all 3 teams have given extended leashes to each of them. None of their teams are eyeballing qb's in the draft. But in about 5 years, we'll all look back and say they didn't deserve (if we don't already now).

Cutler - Got ruined by getting thrown into the fire too early in Den. Does a lot of things well but he's a diva without strong locker room support. Perhaps the most boneheaded of the group.

Rivers - Might be the only qb I dislike more than Cutler. Smart and accurate but noodle-armed and moves like Peyton if Peyton was wearing snow shoes at the beach.

Romo - Cursed. Has all the skills but destined to screw up in big moments, end of story. Deep down he believes it, and that's all she wrote.

Thank you.

I mean at one time he had Michael Turner, Sproles, and LT, with Antonio Gates, Vincent Jackson .

How many more WEAPONS do you need?

talented QBs, but will find always find a way to lose the game.

Cutler's problem has always been Cutler. He's had the same problems in college, in Denver and in Chicago. He flakes out.

Romo's problem has always been Romo. He can kill either team.

Rivers' problem has always been that he's played on a stupid team, and he's part of that, although I think he used to be a more dependable QB than either of the others.

Romo is such a bum....throws another INT, with a close lead, late in the game. Just over 2 minutes left.

[Eleazar]

I think Rivers is more of a case where his team has held him back, mostly. He's probably good enough to win a Super Bowl.

The other two, just don't have it.

[GloryDayz]

This could be it for Romo. This year...
