After last night we are down to the Top 10 players left from 2012. Tony Romo's name has yet to be announced and I highly doubt it will be at this point with players like Aaron Rodgers, Peyton Manning and Tom Brady still waiting for their names to be called. Last season Romo was voted #91 on this same list and #72 the season before that. Is it right that Romo was not included in the Top 100 this year or should he have been included at some point? Looking at the list of quarterbacks so far I would have no issue with removing a few of them so Romo could be added in.
Here is how the quarterback rankings have gone so far:
#81 Colin Kaepernick
#76 Matthew Stafford
#61 Ben Roethisberger
#51 Russell Wilson
#46 Cam Newton
#43 Eli Manning
#23 Andrew Luck
#19 Joe Flacco
#17 Matt Ryan
#15 RGIII
#11 Drew Brees
Being not just a Cowboys fan, but an NFL fan as well, I will say that to put quarterbacks like Cam Newton and Matthew Stafford on the list and not Romo is just wrong. At the same time I don't believe Romo is a Top 10 player in the league either. My though as I looked at the ranked quarterbacks so far is that Romo should be somewhere between 40 and 60 on the list. What hurt Romo in my opinion was that once again he came up short in the biggest game of the season as he threw three interceptions against the Redskins with the division title on the line.
For all those who may be concerned about Tony Romo and how he is handling not being part of the Top 100 list, I wouldn't worry too much. I'm sure he is fine and is moving on with his life. He made that clear last week.
“Until I see one person who’s a Dallas Cowboy who votes on that stuff, I would figure at some point they’d ask me, Jason Witten or DeMarcus Ware to vote,” Romo said. “I think then maybe it’s a vote by the players. But the four people who vote, I just don’t think it matters too much. I know this, I would have a hard time telling you who was great in the AFC last year. You just go by what’s written about and talked about.”
Take these lists for what they are worth everyone, which is really nothing at all. Have fun with them, don't take them seriously and most of all don't get into heated arguments with others because of them. It's just not worth it. Just ask Tony Romo.
