Would you take Brees over Romo?

Brady/Manning gone....

 

Given the choice, Brees or Romo and why?

Brees- Better playoff schedule

[Pimptaddy 0]

Romo

 

 

 

Better QB on a better team. He is also banging a hotter girlfriend.

[Mmueller 0]

Brees.

 

Better schedule. Not as great of a running game as dallas to vulture tds. Addition of shockey.

I hope I play against idiots like you. Romo will get 40 total TDs this year and over 4000 yards. Brees will not get that many and Romo is a better QB. Good to know I can get Romo while the morons go after Brees.

[sirwinzalot 1]

I go with Brees, better offense, worse defense, better schedule, too easy.

i happen to like brees better. but even if you were to like romo better this year, people who prefer brees becaz he has more offensive weapons, more pass-oriented offense, easier schedule, etc. certainly aren't idiots.

 

what is your rationale behind liking romo better besides your blind homerism? maybe add a little bit to this board rather than just trolling for fights?

Blind homerism? I picked Romo last year and won leagues. It has nothing to do with him being on my team and everything with the fact that the guy is a top QB in the NFL. He has T.O. Witten and a strong defense to give him short field situations.

again, not saying romo is bad by any means hes top 4 QB. But the fact that you think anyone who prefers brees to him is "an idiot" is what i am criticizing

More Cowboys for me!

[sirwinzalot 1]

" a strong defense to give him short field situations."

 

Huh, never looked at it that way, shorter field situations could lead to more TD's, that is if they're not going to Barber. I personally think Brees will throw more with having a horrid D behind him. Having a shorter field could back fire when Barber or Jones run one in and Romo has very little yardage to show for it.

[Runningriot1966 6]

I like both guys but id take Romo over Brees. The Cowboys are gonna be a great team this year and have a much improved defense. I think the situation is better in Dallas thats the only thing that seaperates the two to me. Romo was great last year also and Brees was only decent.

I personally like Brees over Romo, but you can't go wrong with either.

1. Brees is a better QB than Romo. He's won playoff games.

2. Romo will not get 40 TD's.

3. Brees plays in a much easier division, and has a better playoff schedule.

4. Brees' main man WR is a decade younger, and not a crazy MF.

5. Brees' is on a pass first team, with little real run game to steal TD's

6. Brees' defense is worse, putting him in more shootouts

7. I feel dirty rooting for a cowboy, ever. I'd much rather pull for a Saint.

 

For all these reasons, Brees is my boy.

Brees.

Sample size. Aka, Brees has played at a top level for more than 1.5 seasons(Romo). It's easier for me to use a relatively high pick on him given his history of production.

[aauhoops33 0]

Brees, because I'm a Skins fan.

also Brees.

 

add in that much of Romo's success is contingent on the play of T.O. (see Donovan McNabb).

T.O. is neither young nor mentally stable; a hammy or mental breakdown isn't too far away for him.

Brees on the other hand, will pass effectively even if one of his top targets goes down.

i like the lack of response to this logical post.

 

this guy seems to be nothing more than an a$$ clown from what I have noticed.

Romo is a good QB, but Brees is much better. Better weapons and an easier schedule for Brees. Brees may choke in the beginning of the season, but Romo always chokes at the end of the season when you need him most. Remember the Saints/Dallas game two years ago? The Saints destroyed Dallas, at home? "Americas Team" was the Saints that year. And Romo has yet to win a single playoff game! Brees has quite a few. The Saints are in for a big year on offense. The defense sucks and they will lean heavily on Brees and company to win. That means another year of record breaking completions from Brees. And another year for Romo to bang stupid broads

 

Your a homer and everyone loves a homer on draft day. You probably wear your Romo jersey on draft day and pout when you don't get him.

[footballcashcow 0]

Based on last season's fantasy numbers, the Saints have the 25 worst schedule for the QB position and the worst for WRs.

 

The Cowboys, have 13th worst for QBs and 11th worst for WRs.

 

Saints offense isn't any better than Dallas'.

 

I like Brees a lot this year, but I would not take Brees over Romo.

 

And this is coming from an Eagles fan!

though i'm not a cowboy homer as he is

I don't wear jerseys to the draft.

[Little Big Head 6]

extremely tough call here. I want to see how the Cowboys utilize F.Jones, and how good Crayton, Hurd, and Austin are as compliments to TO before I judge Romo for this season. I think right now Brees might be a little safer and more consistant, but I like Romos ceiling a little more if some of the young recievers show that they can be good players

[Foghorn Leghorn 0]

Brees, because Pimptaddy says Romo.

[Pimptaddy 0]

I am targeting both romo and Brees in my drafts. I refuse to pay the cost of taking Manning or Brady, but want a good QB. Brees and Romo are at a nice price and value. I put them both in the top 4 QBs but Romo gets ranked 3rd and Brees 4th. Romo is simply more athletic and he has a better team.

Surprised no one else said it especially when giving Pimptaddy a beotchslap: Well played sir.

 

IMO Brees should be taken before Romo. Saints will throw, throw, throw. Brees will probably have a better year than Brady does this year.

[bill belichik's hoody 0]

Brees played in a pass heavy offense in each of the past 2 seasons and did not outscore Romo's 07 season. This fact is already priced into their ratings, so it seems to be a pointless argument to make, it is like reminding everybody that Tom Brady has Randy Moss to throw to.

 

I do not see what has changed that allows Brees to leapfrog Romo- Tony still has all of his weapons and an extra year of experience. That's not to say that it would surprise me if Brees finished with better stats, but I am not taking him over Romo.

[WoodDuck2003 0]

I have these two QBs ranked 3-4 and at this point it is anyones quess who will actually have the better season. I think they both break the 4,000 yd mark (and Brees has done that the past two seasons and threw for more yds than Romo last year), they should both be around 30-35 TDs. I am a cowboy homer and I would take Brees due to the fact that he can generally be had one round later. Romo is usually gone by the mid 2nd, and with Peyton's surgery he is actually going closer to the start of the 2nd, where Brees can be had early to mid 3rd. Therefore Brees has more value and that is what fantasy is all about.

 

Lets say in a 12 team ppr, all TDs 6pts league, and you have the 7th pick and you want Romo. You would draft something like:

 

1.07 Portis

2.05 Romo

3.07 L.Maroney/B.Jacobs/one of the rookies

 

Okay same situation but you wait for Brees:

 

1.07 Portis

2.05 R.Bush/T.Jones/M.Turner/R.Grant which ever you feel best about

3.07 D.Brees

 

Now I would much rather have one of these guys over a RB like Maroney/B.Jacobs or one of the rookies in a redraft league.

 

Just my opinion but I believe it gets down to value.

In my league, Brady was taken first, Manning second, Romo third, and then I jumped on Brees. I was happy it played out like this. Brees has been the most consistent fantasy QB over the years.
