Dallas Cowboys Best Team in the NFL?

Wilson sucks?

That's beyond hyperbole. You may think he is not great but to say he sucks is ridiculous. No team wins a Superbowl with a QB that sucks. He may not be the most accurate passer, but it is the combination of different skills he has that makes him a great, yes I said great, QB.

Good article. As a cowboys fan I have no problem with Rodgers getting the MVP over Romo although I can see a case for both players as well as Murray and Watt.

OK, he may not suck, but on a scale, he's closer to the suck range than he is to the greatest of all time range that one of the previous posters characterized him as as well as others who think he's just phenomenal.

The team with the most momentum as of mid December is the Steelers. As they continue and are able to get some unhealthy players back on the field, they will continue to look like the AFC pick along with the Patriots.

I feel Brady, though, will destroy the Steelers, and the Patriots will meet the Packers

In Phoenix for the SB.

The Steelers main improvement has been against the run. You seem to understand that the Steelers defensive secondary is so far below average that they should not have a chance against a team with a QB that can read defenses. The Steelers need a great pass rush to offset this. However, the great QB's read the defensive set and audible to plays that force the linebackers in a 3-4 defense (main pass rush threats) to cover backs and tight ends, then have what seems like forever to throw. The Steelers can get by against the average QB's like Andy Dalton, Alex Smith, and even Andrew Luck but will most likely get crushed by the Brady's of the league like you suggest. Brees killed them. I too think Brady will kill the Steelers "IF" the Steelers get that far.

You remind me of the posters who think that Farah "sucks" because he hasn't broken 12:45 or 26:40. There is this concept in sports called "winning", and it is what Wilson and the 'Hawks are doing better than anyone right now: anytime, any way, anyplace.

Nice job with your anti-Russell straw man in avoiding the point of my post, which was synergy. The Seahawks have it, the Cowboys have it, the Patriots probably do too. Outside of these three teams, every other team has weak links and discord/injury problems which are keeping them out of the discussion for Top Dog. This thread is about the best TEAM, not who has best passer rating.

Agree with you for the most part. However, the topic of QB came up and someone randomly compared Romo to Wilson. Nobody is saying that Wilson doesn't have a better TEAM, but to say he is anywhere near Romo's level as a passer is silly, that is what the discussion was.

Doesn't Romo have a history of single-handedly fvcking up his team's playoff chances while in Seattle?

I'll take the "game manager." Also, HOLD MY D!CK.

Sums up nicely why Wilson is knocking on the door of GOATness.

I suppose a team that won only one of their first 9 games and is now in the verge of a division championship could arguably be considered to have the most momentum.

I was addressing your second point about your comparison of Romo to Wilson. Yes, the Seahawks have synergy, along with the teams you mentioned & definitely the Packers as well. You mentioned the Seahawks being better than anyone anytime. That's just crazy. They're good, but they aren't unique when you look at the "anytime" route you mentioned. You have teams who have been to the super bowl for 4 years in a row. You have active teams like the Packers & Patriots who have just qualified for their 6th straight playoff appearance. Now that is unique.

GOATness for running, NOT throwing . . . as a quarterback. Lets see where Wilson falls in the MVP race this year.

Better yet, let's see where his team ends up.

Superbowl MVP?

Let's see if another ring slides onto his finger then we can talk about whether mobile QBs with spidey-senses and the teams around them are what matters.

Or, continue to circle jerk about tall goofy dinosaurs with their record setting passing yards in a season. Passer ratings... *yawn*

Quarterbacking is about getting the ball into the end zone. Folks on here getting their panties in a bunch about passing yardage are focused on the wrong thing. Wilson is not a one trick pony and gets it done by throwing, running, scrambling and creating plays where you thought none exists and throwing short passes to get yardage. It is not hyperbole to say he's redefining QBing.

Randall Cunningham could do everything Wilson does with one leg and 3 total fingers. If it is about getting the ball in the end zone, who do you think has led more touchdown drives? Romo or Wilson? Who is going to the pro bowl? Romo or Wilson?

It's about wins, not Pro Bowls. Let's see how the playoffs shake out.
