Campbell or Romo?
 

I know you look at this and your like HUH?? Why would you ask this? Well got into a little disagreement with my college roommate about this topic. I am not a Romo fan at all. The guy no doubtly is nice. However I am not sold on his skills. He is a mobile, athletic, and put up incredible numbers this season. Romo in my opinion is a part of a great offense all across the board. A great tight end, a very good offense of line, and of course T.O. And everyone witnessed the complete falling out of Romo and the Cowgirls. Under pressure i dont think he comes through at all. Well I am a big JC fan, and my roommmate and me are huge Redskin fans. I popped the question in the next 3 or 4 season who would you want as a starting quarterback. Romo or JC. He said Romo and i said of course Jason. I think Jason has the heart of a true football player. He cried over a loss, he studies his ass off, and works hard. He is learning one of the most difficult playbooks and I think is going to be a great player *knock on wood*. However Romo was undrafted why wouldn't anyone see this talent before. He does put up great numbers but in the next few years I think he will be a joke to the cowboys in the future. Well I would love your guys opinion. I stood up for Campbell and called my buddy a Cowboy haha jokingly of course. Thanks guys , Go Skins

Re: Campbell or Romo?
 

I don't know if your friend values a Skins fan opinion on this, but...

Honestly, I think they both have pluses and minuses as you pointed out. I think if you wanted to compare them like to boxers, pound for pound, I think Jason needs one more full season under his belt for us to make a fair comparison.

One thing I like for sure I like in Campbell over Romo is Campbell's poise and cool head. He seems like the type as he becomes more successful in the league, he'll be the same under the radar type guy. A very quiet and steady leader. And we all know the guy is tough as nails.

Re: Campbell or Romo?
 

Being a Redskin fan, naturally I'm biased. So far neither has really won anything, therefore, I'll be in a better position to make a comparison when they both have enough time in the league to make a significant contribution.

Re: Campbell or Romo?
 

You said "He Cries Over A Loss" haven't both Romo & JC cried over losses. Maybe JC cried harder and louder than Romo or maybe Romo faked his crying so people would feel sorry for him. While JC on the other hand had a bad ass football man cry. I think the diapers need to come off both before we will ever know which becomes the better of the two.

Re: Campbell or Romo?
 

So far Romo has QB'd his team to a division title and the playoffs 2 years in a row. Campbell has not. Will he in the future, maybe, I hope so, but right now its Romo.

Re: Campbell or Romo?
 

I think I'd rather wait and answer this question after both QBs have had a few years under their belt. I see great things from both quarterbacks. Both quarterbacks, for the most part, seem calm, cool, and collected. Romo appears to just enjoy playing the game, and Campbell seems more down to business. Both approaches appeal to me. I probably wouldn't be disappointed with either QB on my team, but things can change dramatically after your second or third year of starting.

Look at this mess of a thread up above. It IS, as Campbell17 intuitively stated, retarded. You don't make paragraphs and the initial post is way too long.

One thing you have to keep in mind is most of us here, me in this case, don't know who the hell you are. That means I don't care what the hell you think enough to read the novel length drivel you posted.

Make your points, make me laugh or cry in the first three sentences and then call it quits. Boom...three and out and then punt it away. Anymore and posters will be quick to deem it a retarded thread, hence this posting.

While I would have appreciated paragraphs, I thought the post well thought out and a fair question. If you choose not to read it fine. Much of what people write and post on this site is "novel length" and, with a few exceptions, not "drivel".

If you want drive through answers, go see ES.

As for the original question, I'm with those who say give Campbell another year before we make comparisons. Romo's been in teh league five (?) years and a starter for two. While he has put up big numbers, Romo still has yet to win a play-off game. Because of his apparent work ethic, attitude and athletic tools, I guess I think JC has the better long term potential but that Romo is the better player today.

Re: Campbell or Romo?
 

This is a good and very fair question. At this point of time it is very difficult to answer. Romo had a great year no doubt, and Campbell made great strides. I feel like Campbell has more of the prototypical QB skillsets. He's a tall strong pocket passer with enough scrambles to keep a defense honest. Romo is a great improviser.

If all things were equal and they were getting the same salary, drafted the same year, same play time, and most importantly same offense, I feel Campbell would win out. But at this point, I think Romo is a bit ahead of Campbell.

Re: Campbell or Romo?
 

Romo is more accomplished at this point but he's also got the advantage of being in the league longer and he's got more starts. Kinda tough to evaluate them both on the same level.

Re: Campbell or Romo?
 

Not even close, Romo wins hands down.

Romo looks and plays like a legitimate NFL QB, Campbell still looks and plays lke a college QB.

romo only plays well sometimes, he looks like complete garbage other times. campbell looks almost the same every week, not as good as romo when romo is hot but not as bad as romo when romo is struggling.

Re: Campbell or Romo?
 

Well, to me, it's more about Garrett vs Saunders. Give Campbell the full reign of the offense, and he'll produce for you. We have yet to see him unleashed fully. Garrett let Romo run wild with the offense and Romo produced. Overall, pure talent wise, I'd still take Campbell...but the point is moot if Campbell doesn't get full control of the offense. If Romo didn't have full control, we'd be talking about how mediocre he is.
I'd like one more year to be able to answer this question with certainty cause we just haven't had the time to witness what Campbell can do when given the offense.

Re: Campbell or Romo?
 

Romo still throws too many INTs for my taste. And I don't like the way he loses his cool when things aren't going his way.

About the INT's...that's somewhat true. He does have a lot of int's, but he had 17 more tds than INT's. SOmetimes when you take chances, you get burnt. Campbell wasn't even unleashed and had 11 ints in 13 games. By the numbers, it's a lower percentage, but not sure he would have had that better precentage if Saunders gave him full control of the offense. Plus Campbell only had 1 more td than int. I'm not saying I'd go for Romo, I wouldn't. I think Campbell has more talent overall, I'm just saying we would all not care about the INT's if Campbell had 36 tds.
I do agree with you about his cool, and that is something Campbell has over him by far. Campbell always stays cool. I just hope campbell can develope a killer instinct and actually win us a game when we are behind.

Re: Campbell or Romo?
 

Sorry guys I'm not a professional writer, but i have been on this site long enough to see a hell of a lot longer and drawn out threads then this. I have posted longer threads then this before.

Re: Campbell or Romo?
 

Jerry Jones may regret the day he gave that kind of money to a guy who has yet to prove he can win in the post season. Seems like ol' Jerry got swept up in the hype surrounding Romo in the first half of this season and gave him the keys to the kingdom before he earned them over the long haul. NFL history has seen tons of QB's who either were one hit wonders or put up nice stats in the regular season but couldn't get it done in the playoffs. Romo is now being paid as an elite QB. If Romo is a flash in the pan it could get really bad in Dallas in a hurry...we can hope.

The jury is still out on Campbell being able to win or be effective in the post season too but Snyder wont have to make that ultimate decision on his future with the skins for a few more years.

Re: Campbell or Romo?
 

I love JC, but I haven't ssen any poise or cool headedness yet. He has thrown some costly picks. We were winning at the end because TC didn't throw picks (except in Seattle, of course). Slight edge to Romo here, but Campbell has more upside...

Re: Campbell or Romo?
 

Are you kidding me? It pains me to admit this but...... I enjoy watching Romo play. He is a charismatic and talented football player. I thought he was going to be a bust and be like any other backup QB who is highly touted as the next great thing by the fans. See Babe Laufenberg, Gus Frerrotte, Jay Schroeder, etc., etc.

Romo. Hand down!

Romo has been playing very well but you can count on him to throw an in interception in just about every game. Until he corrects this problem he will always be the reason that they can't take it to the next level. You are right though, as of now he is better than Campbell... but...let's see if we get Campbell better help at the receiver position this coming offseason, if so, I think that Campbell closes the gap.

Re: Campbell or Romo?
 

campbell hasn't shown enough yet to compare them yet. romo is better right now, but we haven't seen where campbell's peak is yet.
