Three NFL quarterbacks are in the news this week because of the beautiful women they surround themselves with. And the reaction to the three situations is a reminder that when you're judging a quarterback, winning is all that matters.First, there's Arizona Cardinals quarterback Matt Leinart. After photos surfaced of Leinart enjoying the company of some young ladies, he has been the talk of the league.
Then there's Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo. Depending on what you believe, Romo may or may not be marrying Jessica Simpson some time this off-season.
And finally there's New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady. He's skipping some of the team's voluntary off-season workouts because he's on vacation with his girlfriend, supermodel Gisele Bundchen.
Of the three quarterbacks' off-season activities, the only one that has any real bearing on the way the player does his job is Brady's decision to miss workouts with his team to go on vacation. And yet Brady has received almost no criticism, while Cowboys fans are openly agonizing about Romo's relationship with Simpson, and Leinart's own coach said he was disappointed in his quarterback.
The difference, of course, is that Brady is the reigning league MVP with three Super Bowl rings to his credit, Romo is a good quarterback but still one who has yet to win a playoff game, and Leinart has so far been a disappointment. The simple lesson for all three: It pays to win.

Tony Romo is the QB of the future. Tom Brady and Peyton Manning still have a few good years left but are getting up there in years.

Of course, the most tragic unheard criticism of Tom Brady's cavorting around with Gisele is probably the plaintive cry of his illegitimate son, who is too young to form words and thus can't speak to the media (but he gets bigger every day though, if Tom is wondering (or even cares).

RE: "Cowboys fans are openly agonizing about Romo's relationship with Simpson"?
Oh, I don't think most of us care.
RE: "Tony Romo is the QB of the future. Tom Brady and Peyton Manning still have a few good years left but are getting up there in years."
Romo is only three years younger than Brady. I know that "athlete years" are different than regular years, so I can't disagree too strongly here. But Romo's not *that* much younger that Tom Tom.

Brady, Romo, Leinart......?
SF49ers, Miami Dolphins, Pittsburgh Steelers - take a walk throughout NFL history to ascertain the "great" QBs, teams, coaches, etc.
Oh, Brady, your true "abilities" came through in the last Super Bowl - LOL - why didn't you go to the ProBowl and not hide away like your other "great" cohort Moss?????
Actions speak louder than words :)
That goes for all of you three jokers....heh heh...
