Ummm have you been watching the Saints play this year? Please tell me exactly how they are overrated. Breesus has led them to 6-0 record, winning at home and on the road, blowing teams out, winning with defense, and mounting a huge comeback. You might not like the Saints, and you might not think they will win the Super Bowl, but they are not overrated and you should certainly respect them. Go ahead and be a punk though. Next.

The only people who would say Tony is better are Dallas fans.Ben has the records and the hardware not to mention the rings.You can't call yourself a true football fan and say in the same breath that Tony Romo is the better QB.

Who are you?? You're not the same poster. I called him a punk because of the obnoxious way he went about posting his previous statement. It's ok if he doesn't like the Saints. I don't want more people jumping on the Saints' bandwagon anyways, but he has to respect that they are a good team and if they keep up this level of play, they will have a damn good shot at playing in and winning the Super Bowl.

Ben is and will always be a better quarterback than Romo, even if he had to start throwing with his left hand(him being naturally right-handed), he would still be better than Romo.Plus Ben has won two Superbowls, while Romo hasn't even been to one,except as a spectator!

Ok now that were are done with the My Space portion of the evening, the only question asked here, is who is better, Big Ben or Romo.

If given a choice between the two, to have play on my team, it's Ben , all the way down the line.

Given a chance to take any other QB , that is currently active, heck, Brees, and Brady are on my top list. But, I'd rather pick from the inactive list..LOL

#37 | 22 days ago

No brainer here. If Romo pays attention to the game instead of well, who knows where his mind is. He is young, not a leader but can get the job done with help of course. Like I said before, penalties are the boys worst enemy. So I am going to go with ROMO all the way.

Look I'm not a Steeler fan by any stretch and as for the Cowboys well they could burn in hell for all I care. To the question at hand, Ben is a leader and has proven he can get it done even with a questionable O-Line. Romo on the other hand is no leader. He's about as butter soft as Wade Phillips is. The Cowboys haven't won since 95, because the Giants and EAGLES have gotten a hell of alot better and Romo has proven he can't win the big games in Dec/Jan. So having said that, if these were all I had to choose from I'd pick Ben. Keep in mind the Eagles sacked him 8 times last year

The Steelers championships had a lot to do with GREAT defenses. Im not saying Romo is better than Ben on a consistant basis, but if I could take Romo's best game and Big Ben's best game, I would take Romo. But, if we are talking about leadership qualities and consistancy, I would have to go with Big Ben.

#50 | 21 days ago

Daniel_and_Becca wrote:

back up are you serious tony romo has put up better numbers in his first 3 yrs than almost every qb in the league including BIG BEN. and ben has been protected with a great defense and running game. this is the first year he's done anything but manage games. and don't even go into romo can't win big games... thats what they said about payton manning and he is the best qb in the league and possible history.

drn0iswatr (+)

it breaks my heart to type this...(I'm actually holding myself and rocking in the corner) but Big Ben is more consistent. If Tony ever puts together a consistent season I think he would be much better. But as it stands now....give it to the man with the rings.

#56 | 21 days ago

Flone87 (+)

Romo's worst enemy was Jerry Jones giving him a huge contract after only one season....Expectations are huge, and if it were not for Miles Austin putting up huge numbers, they would have lost to the Chiefs...not to mention the poor personnel decisions...Roy Williams...911...haha...I think Roy looked into his crystal ball & is talking about his career yard totals as a cowboy.

Romo is better than a lot of QB's in the league, but should never have been put into the top tier so quickly. The media jumped just as far and poorly as Jones. Romo reminds me of Tommy Maddox...I will say no more.

Big Ben? Not even going there with the love/hate affair here on the Q other than to say Ben is the better all around QB, and it is not even close.

#57 | 21 days ago

2Jay21 (+)

I like the Dallas Cowboys and Tony Romo. But Ben Roethlisberger is a better player. He has won 2 Superbowl's and Romo hasn't even won a playoff game yet.
I think Romo will eventually win a playoff game and maybe even a Superbowl. But he probably will never live up to all hype.

#58 | 21 days ago

Do we really need another Ben R. poll? Geezus there's a lot of Steeler fans on this site.

But since I'm here... I hate the Cowboys, but Romo's my fantasy starter so I have to root for him. I honestly believe they're about the same level of ability, but Ben gets the edge for now due to his championships. Neither is in the elite category, which for now only consists of Brady, Brees, and P. Manning.

What I mean is this: Take any of the 29 teams outside of Indy, New England, and New Orleans. Ask if any of them would not install one of those three QB's in a heartbeat. They'd be lying if they said they wouldn't.

#64 | 21 days ago

This always comes down to people comparing Ben with all the others based purely on his numbers. Well, this year Ben leads all QB's in 4 stats, and is 2nd in a 5th. This still garners him little respect.....so I would recommend this:......picture your team in a game in which they are behind by a touchdown with less than 3 minutes left on the clock........NOW which one do you want on your team?........Romo?....or Ben? Only one smart choice on that one, and Romo ain't it.

That's a fair comparison. No way Roeths. is better than Marino. I don't think Romo's problem is so much that he has yet to win a playoff game, but that he just isn't consistent. He can throw 300+ & 3 TDs one game, and under 200 with no TD's and 3 INT's the next. But he's definitely in the second tier with very good QBs, along with Ben, Eli Manning, Jay Cutler, Matt Ryan, maybe Kyle Orton-- yes-- the way he's going.

2006 was Ben's worst year. Romo and the rest of the Cowboys are going to have to start finding ways to get their asses in gear come December and January, otherwise Romo will never even come close to GETTING to the Super Bowl.

#77 | 21 days ago

lol i know who would have thought orton anywhere near anything but the bottom it shows what having some great recievers will do for a qb's confidence level. but as to romo i really think if the team could put together some consistancy so would romo i think the cowboys problem is inconsistency and i think i goes to the coaching staff. players all around the league have pointed out how simple the cowboys offense is. that doesn't help romo's numbers either. i think as a team they are too lax make to many penalties and are undisaplened. fix that and then we'll see what romo is capable of

What sucks is when you have Brees as your starter and Schaub as your backup, who was leading the league in TD passes, but no one wants to trade for him. I better get invited to a Q league next year! Sorry, nothing to do with the thread, just had to say it somewhere.

Romo will get his head on straight one of these days.. He is just to young and in my opinion the offense has not been that much help to him.. I think the offense is a big factor as to how well a quarterback does. I know I would get irritated with all the penalties and no protection.. also my opinion, Tony was not ready to be the starting QB, but considering the lesser of the two evils we had at the time, he was the best choice for the job. This team has very poor management and the owner is an idiot.. Unfortunately, there is nothing we can do about that. He keeps hiring all these has beens and expects them to win like they did in their prime.. Not gonna happen..

So 2006 means nothing? Okay... So be it.
I fully respect Ben's talent and achievements but I do not have a crystal ball to look into the future. I have always been a Cowboys fan and I have the greatest hopes for Romo. He has shown some promise. Give the guy a few more years (and some sympathy points for the people he works for) and let's see where his stats are. Good Luck to you and the Steelers. I hope we meet up post season, it would be wonderful to see.

bottom line romo's numbers ARE better and more consistent truth is he hasn't won in the playoffs. (it takes a whole team to do that!) and Romo plays for Americas team and is scrutinized more because of it

The truth is Romo can't do anything in December, neither can the rest of the Cowboys. Ben keeps it going ALL YEAR, hence why he's more consistent. Yes, that's right, Ben IS more consistent over the course of an entire year. Why don't you check their stats in the last month of the season and see how Ben and the Steelers don't fall off the face of the earth like the Cowboys and Romo do year after year. Everyone who isn't a homer Cowboys fan can clearly see Ben is the better QB based on year-long performance. Your arguments are the ones that are complete nonsense. It's hilarious how you try to do math and make averages to back up your argument when it's clear as a bell who the better overall QB is. Roethlisberger is more mobile, he doesn't fall off at the end of the year, he wins games, he's played well in the PLAYOFFS, and has also led his team on a game-winning drive in the Super Bowl, a place Romo will NEVER get the with his inconsistency and incredibly lousy performance (along with the rest of the Cowboys) in the final month of the season. I am done arguing with homers who clearly would NEVER say Romo is better than Roethlisberger if Romo played for anyone BUT the Cowboys, and THAT is a guarantee.

Can't believe this is actually a question..... the true mark of a QB is not just his numbers but how he plays in big games. There have been many QB's that have put up big numbers but never won or even made it to a Super Bowl so they are not heralded as much as the QB's who did bring their teams to the Super Bowl. One name that comes to mind is Jim Kelly......

Big Ben, no doubt; Romo is just way too inconsistent.

(besides, I've got Ben in my fantasy league, and his points are MUCH better than Romo's; count passing yards, TDs, interceptions...Romo's had one good game (last week), and in the post-game interview, he was all giddy...looked like an idiot!!)

Romo is a better pure passer, but Roethlisberger is a better leader. If I just want a guy to come in and throw a couple of pretty passes I'd pick Romo, but even though he's not as good of a Quarterback as Romo I'd pick Roethlisberger to build a team around.

Obviously you don't remember New Orleans Saints run to the 2006 NFC Championship game. They had a first round bye and then beat the Eagles in the Dome to advance to the NFC Championship game where they lost at Chicago. Romo still hasn't won a playoff game at all. Maybe you should do some research next time you call someone out.

Actually I used to live in Tampa when I was younger...I have the orange creamsickle jersey to prove it. But I've always been a Saints fan, and when Dungy was fired and his players eventually all left, I lost all interest in the Bucs and have followed the Saints first and foremost since then. You're right, traditionally the Saints haven't done much, but this is our year!

Tony may not have to worry about losing one this year because it is very possible the Cowboys won't make the playoffs. Three wins in a row but who did they beat? True football is a team game however one voice needs to jell the individual parts into one and no that is not the Head coach's job.

I said check Ben's record/stats his first year as you insinuated he had no success.............Clap, clap, clap, clap........Still Romo has no BIG wins. I'm apparently not getting my point across to you so let me try this one last time.............Super Bowl wins = Success, Playoff wins = Success, Much Success compared to your peers = elite status..........Romo is at ZERO tied with Tarvaris Jackson, Jason Campbell, etc. Winning in Pro Sports is all that matters.

Everyone is talking about seasons past.... There's still a whole lot of football left for Romo to shine... or falter. Romo is streaky as hell and seems to cool off when the weather does in December...BUT history doesn't necessarily always repeat it self... Remember when Peyton couldn't beat the Pats in the playoffs

And as for Big Ben, this is the first year that the steelers have actually TRANSFORMED into an actual passing team and Big Ben looks like he has the tools to actually win games with his arm this year and not worry about being a game manager (like in years before)

Personally, i think both are great QBs(rings or no rings) but neither hold a candle to Brady or Peyton... yet.

This is rough, not because there is any real debate over who is better, but being a true Cowboy fan, it is difficult to admit any thing remotely dealing with Pittsburgh is better than anything is Dallas turns my stomach. But in this case , sorry Cowboy nation but Big Ben is a far better QB now than Tony. Not to say that when both are done that will be the case, let's look at it this way put Ben on the Cowboys and Romo in Pittsburgh and the Cowboys have two more rings.....Nuff said

This poll is kind of confusing. I mean it says "who is better". It doesn't say who is the better quarterback. Tony Romo is better at lots of things. For example Romo is better at: picking up women, sounding intellegent while speaking(sorry Ben you sound like a moron), and lets not forget what he does better than anyone in the league-choking.

Dude, if you can remember last years Superbowl i am pretty sure that big Ben lead them down the field for a GAME WINNING touchdown!!! and this year he is only 2ND to Peyton manning statistically... so I dont know where you are com min from! can one guy make or break a team? maybe not but a bad QB can certainly make the difference!

actually you did you said and i quote "ben has been sacked more and still has better numbers." so again how does he have better numbers? and your right no one can say for certain that he would have 2 rings but i can speculate that they would have won the superbowls either way. just like you said if ben was a cowboy we'd have 2 more rings. so would you like to explain yourself now that i've broken everything down in to lamens terms for you. lol to be honest i don't think there is that much difference between the 2 but if you know the numbers then you know the steelers won the superbowls in bens worst years. so your right but both tampa and baltimore and many other teams have won superbowls without great qb's. every football fan know Defense wins championships.

Jason garrett on the other hand called the play that had romo trow to his 4th receiver against the best cover corner in the league. twice to win the game. also the guy who doesn't consistantly use the 3 great running backs we have on the team. his play calling is questionable and defenses in the nfl have said over and over again it is too simple. so i contend that jason garrett is a major part of the problem.

Tony too often allows his 'gun slinging butt' to over ride his common sense ... he is NOT Farve and therefore, he cannot do the things Farve did - - like just throw the thing and PRAY one of your receivers get there before the other team. That is where the confidence factor comes into play ... he could do that some with Terrell Owens but even he wasn't able to do it every time.

Well, I like both. I'm a devoted Steelers fan, because I live in Pittsburgh. But I became a Cowboys fan early in life for a rather odd reason. Back in the late 60s, Green Bay and Dallas were opponents in two classic NFL championship games. Now my mother grew up in Dumont, New Jersey, and attended St. Cecilia's Catholic High School, where her science and gym teacher was a mean old man named Vince Lombardi. So our family always rooted against the Packers, And that meant, for the Cowboys. And I've had a soft spot in my heart for them ever since, although maybe not so much after Landry was fired. Anyway, there is no comparison between Ben and Romo. Ben always finds a way to win the big game, and Romo always finds a way to lose it. Maybe this year he'll be better, but if I were selecting a QB, I'd actually choose Ben over any QB in the game, including Peyton.

wow are you serious you have this dumb list based on yards. like thats what matters lets look where is he at in int thrown where is he at yds per game or qb rating. and i'm talking about who the best qb's are numbers can be deceiving. because i don't know how many times i have to say this but it takes a team. lets look at who's around these qb's how about protection and who's catching the ball. YOUR KILLING ME PETEY!! lol

#181 | 13 days ago

The title of this poll is-

Who Is Better, Tony Romo or Ben Roethlisberger? (Edited 10/29/09 04:13PM by kramer)

The Super Bowl is coming up soon, which QB is better?
Now all you keep talking about is in the past these numbers are from this year, any way I switch it around Ben doesn't drop below 5 except INT'S but Tony never get up to three either. With that said THIS YEAR not the past four year Ben's numbers are better than Tony's don't get me the season is not over they can change any given Sunday. Also as far as the line and receivers you are correct, but someone has to get the ball to those recoveries. Maybe you should start a POLL about QB numbers for the past 4-5 years Iam sure it would go over big, throw all the greats in there and we could have some good discussions. YOUR KILLING ME WITH THE PAST.LOL

"This is the first year he has done anything but manage games?" Tell me who has the most 4th quarter comebacks in the NFL since 2004? I'll give you a hint, it isn't Tom Brady or Peyton Manning and definately isn't Tony Romo!! And are you telling me that the Steelers defense won the superbowl against Arizona too?

in conclusion looking at these numbers Romo has averaged more yds more td's less ints and putt up more regular season wins by 1 in his first 3 years as a starter. so you can see the running game and D have been a lot better in pittsburgh. now once and for all. the difference in the two is very small. and when all is said and done romo will be the better QB be assured. all kidding aside pit fans please sstop poppin off with this trash when you don't know what your talking about. thank you

What's funny is Shabazz implies Peyton and Brady don't need 4th QTR comebacks, they're too good and thier teams are too good for them. HMMM, it's not like they've never had 4th QTR comebacks. John Elway and Joe Montana were INFAMOUS for orchistrating 4th QTR comebacks. As for passer rating that stat is so convoluted it's ridiculous, so much goes into it i.e Divide a QB's pass completions by attempts then subtract 0.3 then divide that number by 0.2 Record the total. Divide passing yards by attempts subtract by 3 then divde by 4 and record that total. Divide TD pass by pass attempt then divide that by 0.05 record the total. Divide INT's per attempt and subtract that by 0.095 then divide that number by 0.04 and record the total. Add the 4 totals you record then multiply by 100 and divide by 6 and you'll get the QB rating.

Yeah Vick did horrible and unforgivable acts but so did the two I mentioned.

wow are you really trying to imply that ben is anywhere near as good a qb as peyton or brady, your kidding right. Most 4th qtr comebacks there is a reason its not brady or manning they win games. they don't hope the defense will keep them in it for a chance. and just out of of curiosity where do you get your info lets compare first 3 seasons as a starter. BEN 11-5 11-5 8-8 grand total of 30-18 ROMO 9-7 13-3 9-7 grand total 31-17. so Romo has amassed more regular season wins in his first 3 seasons and if you look at the comparison for the same years totals are the same. and this year they have the same record so exactly how what on gods green earth are you talking about. and yes there defense won an enormous amount of the games he has played in look at the scores. and their rushing attack struggled last year 2007 3rd in nfl 2006 10th not to bad huh maybe you should know about your own damn team.
Shabazz I would like to know where you got your information from? You say that Ben had an 11-5 record in his first season, it's funny that you are leaving out his rookie season which he was the STARTER for all but the first game of the year (the only game they lost that year). He became the first quarterback in league history to complie a 13-0 record during the regular season that year and also broke Dan Marino's rookie record for completion percentage and passer rating. Big Ben's 51 wins in his first five seasons are the most by any QB in league history, surpassing such QBs as Otto Graham, Dan Marino, Tom Brady and John Elway - that is a fact, you might want to get yours straight since you are so big on researching statistics. So give it a rest you have lost all credibilty with the false statements you have made.

i don't know why everybody talks about how good the quarterback is-- he is know better than the line that is blocking for him -- if a couple of those liniman side step a few of those blocks we will see who's the better QB that's how u tell whether u have a QB or not getting away from the lineman coming at him when they miss a block and neither one is very good --- although i'm a die heart pittsburg fan an i'm a little bias-- i think big ben will move faster than romo in that case

I'm not a big fan of Big Ben, but he has won 2 Super Bowls. And no, that doesn't make him a great QB, but definitely better than Romo (so far).

(Edited by vindog)
Even as a Cowboys fan, I will agree that Big Ben is (or has been) the better QB of the two. Now, with that said, Romo appears to be improving somewhat and has actually won a BIG GAME (in Philly of Sunday Night) as of late. Of course Roethlisberger has the rings and such, but the Steelers have also had the better team as well. The Cowboys have improved greatly this season and are holding tough atop the NFC East with a 6-2 record (precisely the same record as the Steelers)..... I will not say that Romo IS the better QB just yet (that would be a falsehood), but he definitely has the "potential" to eventually be the better of the two. I find also interesting that "some people" feel the need to compare a Two Time Super Bowl Winning QB (and 1st round draft pick) with an UNDRAFTED Free Agent that has ONLY had the opportunity to play in TWO Playoff games- kinda silly don't you think. When a QB loses a game- it is a TEAM EFFORT in ALL CASES- not the fault of one lone individual and as I stated, the Steelers have been loaded with much better players than the Cowboys have had (until recently that is)!

I hear what your saying about comparing 1st round draft picks picks to later round or undrafted free agents. But people compare Brady and Manning. The heat cam on Romo when ESPN started claiming him number 3 behind Brady and Manning. Everyone is going to have to face it sooner or later. We have the most good to great quarterbacks in the league right now than we have seen in a long time. Maybe ever. There are just so many.
