Eli Manning over Tony Romo?

Did any of you notice that Romo basically got screwed in terms of the pro bowl? Romo has 3 more TDs, 7 less INTS, is five percent more accurate, and his rating is about 12 points higher! Plus, doesn't the guy deserve some love for playing through the injuries he has? Oh, and although Manning may have more comebacks, both teams are 8-7 and for the last few weeks the Cowboys were ahead of the Giants in the standings.

BQ: What makes Manning more deserving?

Update:

I do think that for whatever reason, Manning has been hyped way more this year. Some have gone as far as saying he would be in the MVP race if not for the record breaking play of Brees and Rodgers. But, stats don't lie and really his team is just as poor as Romo's. Obviously both teams have more to worry about...I just thought this was an illogical pick and was wondering if I was missing something!

    The media does a great job of making Romo look like a bad QB to much of the American public. Thats the reason. He is a much better QB over his career, and even this season, then Eli.

    To be honest Stafford deserved the 3rd spot over both Romo and Eli.. He is the sole reason the lions are in the playoffs.. Dallas and the G-Men have more talent on both sides of the ball and there still not guaranteed to be in the playoffs.. You gotta give Stafford credit for what the Lions did this year.. So to answer your question Stafford is the one who got screwed!!! Not Romo or Eli..

    Source(s): My opinion..

    A question that i have no answer to! Romo should be there instead of Eli due to stats, but i think they gave it to Eli because they just like him and don't like Romo. Romo has the ability, but hasn't come thru, whereas Eli has talent, but is more humble about what he does. That's the best i got for you.

    Its a fix, the NFL need the surname "Manning" to be in the Pro Bowl, so seeing as Peyton's unavailable, they settled for Eli.

    Romo > Eli Manning

    BQ: Nothing.

    You don't watch much football, do you? Manning over Romo isn't even a close call this year.
