Does anyone think Dak is better than Romo was?

[pitt33]

Romo has one of the higher career playoff passer ratings in league history.
He had a whopping 4 to 1 TD to turnover ratio…..in the playoffs.

Could he have done better? Absolutely.
Wish we had 2014 Romo in 2007, for example. But he hadn't played/grown for long enough yet.

I do think Romo would have taken the ‘16 team deeper with a rookie Zeke and younger oline

Dak didn't choke....he's just limited. He needs huge windows and more time than what is expected from a franchise QB

He would have been salivating at the mouth for another shot at Rodgers and GB.....but at home

 

[lostar2009]

Hard to say when the line is trash.

 

[TheSport78]

Heck no. Romo is light years better than Prescott the fraud. Tony was a student of the game that focused on improving something important every year. Dak is an overachieving 4th round pick with a slow release, poor decision making and just about as inconsistent as you can get. I’m offended that people compare Romo and Dak.

 

[Carter]

Where did he choke. He was actually better than Garoppolo. He had to make up over 100 yards and penalties. On offense and defense. Just because you might not appreciate the quarterback. Look at the entire picture if you can

QBR of 27.1

Couldnt move the ball until they went prevent the last two minutes. He had one good throw all game long. That was the TD to Cooper.

Couldnt see the field. Didnt see wide open guys. Cant throw it away. Takes unneccesary sacks all game. Doesnt use his legs. Doesnt know that you cant spot the ball urself before a spike.

Shall i continue?

Plus, that Green Bay pass defense in 2016 was the lowest rated pass D that the Cowboys have EVER faced in the playoffs

To be fair though, even though almost every QB put up passing numbers on those guys, Dak did too that day.
His big mistake was the redzone interception.
Rodgers destroyed our D, btw.

I think GB would've respected the pass more back in 2016 vs Tony, so we could've controlled the game and clock with a more balanced attack with prime Zeke.....

Dak gets the nod over Romo in terms of leadership I suppose.

Romo had 10x the QB brain, acumen, arm talent than Dak.

Romo led teams were 2-4 in the post season, and now Dak led teams are 1-3.

The pro-Dak Romo sux crowd don't have the unknown to lean on anymore.

Dak had the ball at midfield with two minutes to go, 3 timeouts, and 3 injured San Francisco players out of the game. Dak has to win this game at that moment. He failed miserably.

I was there looking down thinking no way they will run that 2nd down play before the 2 min. warning, but they did. Wasted down and imo a big mistake that was completely unnecessary. I have no idea why they did that.
Abandoning the run was dumb too.

100%, that team was built for Romo. 2016 should have been Romo's 2011 Dirk Nowitizki year. The year he wins it all and creates a different narrative for the player I said in 2016 you put Romo back in once he's healthy no matter how well you thought Dak was playing. In the history of the NFL, no rookie QB has lead a NFL team to a Super Bowl victory. That fact held up.

 

[TheGoat73]

Romo was better

 

[Jimbo69]

Tony Romo wipes the floor with Prescott. Different class.

 

[Ren]

not any more Romo wasn't looking for his checkdown all game if he got presured a few times early

only after we fell behind 21-3 and 28-13 (late in the 3rd quarter) and GB took their foot off the pedal.....and if Rodgers doesn't make that one mistake (his INT) this game never even gets close at all. No one will ever convince me with Romo as our QB that day, we fall behind 21-3 to GB

True...I forgot about us falling so far behind. Must be trama-related...lol

 

[Carter]

Neither was or will be taking a team to a SB.

Both were Stat Feeders that feasted on bad teams in the regular season.

Both choked in the biggest games.

Still mechanics alone Romo was and will be always better than Dak.

2014 Romo likely wins this game by 2+ scores yesterday.

 

[buddahjoe445]

No team has used their starting QB to hold since then, if that gives you your answer.

The league also changed the rules on game balls after that.
Visiting teams get to have their own, broken in, footballs for special teams vs getting a bright shiny new, and slippery, ball forced on you by the home team.

never again after that....but too late for us.

btw., Romo never made an excuse about either of those things. He owned it

If the kicker makes any attempt at blocking Babineaux (sp,) then Romo scores and he becomes a hero. Yes. Romo dropped the slippery ball, but others around him failed to do their jobs. Thats the story of his career.

That was idiotic to run the play before the two minute warning. Nobody brought that up. Good call. Cowturd and Nick Wright called it about Dak.

 

[DOUBLE WING]

The issue of Romo is when he FINALLY had the team and Garrett of of the way, after years of carrying that franchise and keeping them relevant, while getting pummeled, they went with the mediocre QB in Dak.

That’s the issue of Romo versus Dak…. One was back-stabbed for a mediocre system QB that needs everything tailored to his fragile psyche..

And this, in a nutshell, is what all the Dak hate comes back to. The mythical idea from the Romo Brigade that he somehow forced out the fearless leader, who was on the verge of finally reaching the promised land. Team Romo has never, and will never, get over this.

 

[IceStar-D7]

No difference. Romo was somewhat better getting guys around him to step up and play above their level. That was the difference between Roger and Troy versus Romo and Dak. Roger and Troy demanded better play from those around them and had the respect of the group. Dak nor Romo have those same qualities.
