    Both teams need new QBs.

    Romo has always had a history of throwing baddies.

    Schaub is now starting on this downward spiral.

    Dude, give me a break. Schaub would have lost by 20.

    Romo is so much better than Schaub it's not even funny.

    Name one advantage Schaub has over Romo without making everyone laugh.

    Schaub can only dream of having Romos arm strength and mobility.

    Only thing Schaub USED to do better was decision making.

    Now schaub is even worst than romo in that respect.

    Romo >>> Schaubenfraud

    Actually, Schaub has had shootouts with Manning before.

    He's not that much worse than Romo if any at all.

    They are both very comparable. Look great one week, look horrible the next....win you the game or lose you the game.

    Only difference is Romo will get out of the pocket and try to imitate Brett Favre and Schaub will go into the fetal position the moment someone sniffs him.

    Romo has a whale of a game and then he throws the worst INT he could have short of a pick-6.

    Romo is very very inconsistent. He hasn't gotten the team anywhere, not even to the playoffs. Everyone goes by results...

    Dallas has had the same QB-Coach combo for the past few years now and I think off the top of my head the last time they've been to the playoffs is 2009? 3 seasons or so?

    2010 and there are bigger problems in Dallas like defense and playcalling.

    Close game. You have the ball to put away the game and you throw a pick 6 allowing the team to win.

    Well I don't know if you're the type to blame QBs for every win or loss but you could say the same for the Texans and Schaub.

    Even though he threw that Pick 6 he didn't play horrible against Seattle. He has had huge 40 point game shootouts too.

    The two production wise are very alike. They can have great games where they look amazing and then the next week have a so-so game. Then in the clutch they are both all over the place. Sometimes Schaub will do great in those situations and sometimes he does horrible. Romo is the same way.

    I'd take the consistency and low impact numbers of Alex Smith over both of them.

    you are obviously a romo hater, because nobody in their right mind would defend pick 6 special matt schaub.

    but romo is FAR better than schaub has ever been.

    So you didn't throw a touchdown. The only bad time to throw a TD is if you are tied or down with <2 minutes to go and are in scoring range.

    Alex Smith was looked at as a joke until Harbaugh arrived. Sure he has been winning the last two years but don't think i'd take him over Schaub or Romo.

    Tony Romo and Matt Schaub are great at making big mistakes at big moments

    You don't know what you're talking about. Schaub has been bad this year, it's not been that bad. I think they are comparable, if someone said Romo was better than matt I wouldn't argue against it. I'd just say "Probably, yeah. It's close though."

    You act like this guy is on another class than Schaub.

    Well that's fair, but I'd definitely take this years Smith over both for This Texan team though. Schaub and his string of Pick 6 has really cost the team. Hopefully he can prove his inconsistency and tear it up tonight.
