Michael Strahan isn’t scared to voice his opinion, and he recently had his own notion after hearing that former Giant Amani Toomer thinks Tony Romo is better than Eli Manning:

You gotta check his house for bath salts…to me, I just look at what people have done in their careers.When it comes to the numbers and the things they’ve done to excel and where they are right now.”

It’s no secret that Tony Romo is a very talented quarterback, but the ultimate goal in the NFL is to win. It’s hard to not lean with Eli in this little debate, simply because he has more Super Bowl wins than Romo has playoff wins – and Eli did it beating Tom Brady twice.

I have always personally thought that although Romo is very good, his regular season accomplishments won’t matter until he does something significant in the post-season. This is why Eli should be considered the better of the two right now, no question.
