Romo or Flacco?
Romo or Flacco?
Romo is better than Flacco. I know the playoff point well, but it's not even like Romo was average at Green Bay -- he was very good. The one positive about their playoff drought from 2010-2013 is his playoff issues have already passed their expiration date of relevance to me.
A lot of things happened pre-2009, no other players have those variables thrown into the equation.
gaudy regular season #s makes the better QB not.
folks get SO caught up on pretty numbers.
Improve your daily logic intake so we can clear your system and try to eject some out
Or do what you want, I don't have a preference
I'm no Flacco lover, by any stretch of the imagination, but he does what he needs to do to win games.
Romo, for one reason or another just never seems to get the job done and we're left making excuses for him. Every season.
Is this a sound argument though?

Not going away.
You're letting the defense, playcalling and other factors off the hook just as easily as the people you criticize for doing the same with Romo. In the end, it's all confirmation bias.
Except for the whole Romo being a better quarterback than Flacco thing.
Career CMP%
Romo: 65.2%
Flacco: 60.5%
That 69.9% completion percentage for Romo just this past season is damn near unreachable for Flacco.
Career Interceptions
Romo: 110 (9 seasons as the starter)
Flacco: 90 (7 seasons as the starter)
Flacco has thrown double-digit interceptions every season since enterting the league. Romo has three seasons, including this season, of single-digit interceptions.
You really only have one great playoff run for Flacco to pin up as your argument, but since playoffs is your go-to...
Flacco interceptions in this year's two-game playoff stint (2) is the same amount of interceptions Romo has thrown in six career playoff games (2).

On the same token some folks look at a nice playoff run (or two) and pretend like regular season mediocrity never happened..
It's gotta be balance somewhere...
So basically, you are saying that QB1, who basically dominates QB2 in almost every single measurable statistic, is the worse QB of the two because QB2's team success trumps QB1's?On the same token some folks look at a nice playoff run (or two) and pretend like regular season mediocrity never happened..

I agree, but......c'mon....
It's not like Flacco was all that mediocre these years. The guy may not put up eye-popping numbers but if you take out the outliers (his rookie year and his 2013 campaign) it's not like he was ever a middling QB.
Guy consistently put up good, above average numbers. Again, not eye popping, but very solid numbers. Double digit INTs, sure, but it wasn't like he was throwing INTs every game (2013 being the exception, again).
Guy is 72-40 for his career with 148-90 TD to INT.
Romo is 75-48 242-110 TD to INT......All those TDs but did they count for more in the win column?
Happy birthday to Joe Flacco BTW. Turned 30 today.

Solid logic.
