Pardon me for starting a non-Saints related thread on a week when we have a game, but I thought that we were early enough into the week that this shouldn't distract us.
Last night I was watching the Packers Giants game at a friends house, and somehow Tony Romo losing his job, and Aaron Rodgers being overrated was brought up. I didn't say much as the people arguing were Packers and Cowboys fans, so they knew their qb's limitations more than I ever care to.
But the point was brought up, Aaron Rodgers is Tony Romo, only he has a SB ring. Now we can all look from a 1,000 miles away and say that that comment is wrong, but when you break it down, its not really.
Rodgers has thrown fewer ints than Romo, but Rodgers will take a sack before he throws a pick, while Romo will throw it rather than take a sack. Rodgers has better yards and tds, but Romo has never had the bevy of receivers Rodgers has, and the Cowboys are more balanced than the Packers.
Rodgers performs well in the postseason 8-6, while Romo is 2-4, however their stats during the postseason are near identical, 98.2 rating compared to 93, and 61.62 completion % to 63.81%.
Rodgers has 10 Fourth Quarter Comebacks, 14 Game-Winning Drives, while Romo has 25 Fourth Quarter Comebacks, 30 Game-Winning Drives.

Here are some other stats to look at.
Like I said, I know that this is a game week, and there will be plenty of Saints stuff to talk about, but I thought that this was a topic that would be interesting to talk about.
