Does anyone think Dak is better than Romo was?

[SpaceCowboy99]

Romo will always be better than Dak.

We win yesterday’s game by 2 scores with prime Romo.

Romo would have been lucky to get out of the game without a broken bone. He would have had at least a couple of turnovers behind our OL and no running game. Go review his history in the playoffs when he had poor pass protection and no running game. He had a 2-4 playoff record and was 0-2 in elimination games. Some of you need to get real. lol

Aikman pretty muched ripped Dak for not using CeeDee Lamb a lot more than he was used against the Niners.

 

[Loso86]

Actually Romo started out as a mobile quarterback for those who remember.

I remember but he wasn't quick or strong. Somewhat fast

 

[lukin2006]

If a young Romo was QBing Sunday, we win and are preparing for Tampa. Dak is a fraud. He’s a dink and dunk passer who thinks he is deep ball passer like Wilson…he’s not.

 

[lukin2006]

No just part time football fans know it. People that understand the game. Know that he’s more than capable of taking a team to a championship

Dak is not taking this football team anywhere…he is all talk…

Notice how when there is poor OL play when Dak is the QB the narrative is that "Dak held the ball for too long." But this reasoning and logic wasn't used for any time or in any game that the Cowboys OL failed to protect Romo and Romo was getting hit/pressured/sacked a lot. Then the narrative is that it was all on the OL and they don't try to break it down to claim where Romo was holding the ball for too long on some of the plays he got hit/pressured on.

Also they often point to poor OL's or OL performances for why Romo struggled in some games or why the Cowboys lost some big playoff/elimination games. But, even when poor OL play under Dak, they say he is suppose to find a way to overcome that because of his big contract, yet don't expect Romo to overcome it, even after the seasons in which he had gotten paid a big contract.

And if anything is proven, it's that the Cowboys offense has struggled in games where Romo was the QB, when either the run game wasn't working or Romo was getting hit/pressured a lot. There were games that the Cowboys offense couldn't even score a TD with Romo as the QB. And there was also the game against Washington, where the defense had held Washington to 21 points for 4 quarters and Romo had the ball in his hands with a chance to win it, but threw an INT.

The Cowboys were still losing games with Romo, in similar ways and mind boggling fashion, as the 49ers game was lost with Dak last Sunday. Even 5, 6 or 7 seasons into Romo's career. But the revisionist and Romo nostalgia, leads some fans to say things like "There's no way that the Cowboys won't have lost this game with Romo" or "Romo would have won this game." When it fact there were games were Romo had the ball in his hand with a chance to win it in the end and the Cowboys lost, games where Romo had INT or some other costly mishaps with caused the Cowboys to lose, and games where the Cowboys as a team made some record setting, mind boggling blunder to lose a game. And these happened even seasons into what Romo would be considered as a seasoned, veteran QB with experience.

It could be a wash if Tony Romo had had the same Talent on offense that that has but he never had it I mean his main wide receiver was Miles Austin Miles Austin did squat without Tony Romo Tony Romo made Miles Austin Dak Prescott has three legitimate number one wide receivers and a top-tier number to and Cedric Wilson plus he's got two decent in jar when & Schultz decent tight end so it could be a wash at Tony had the same talent but the talent on this team is so immense that we should win a Superbowl with no problem

I think they ran Owens out of the building too quickly, although the o-line was teetering in 2009 and completely crashed (due to multiple injuries) at Minnesota in the playoffs. Romo had the defense that year...with Ratliff, Spencer and D-Ware really coming on down the stretch (beating undefeated New Orleans on the road). Roy Williams was more or less a failure and Miles Austin would disappear in games. I think Crayton (apart from Witten) was probably Romo's most trusted guy during that time. The division was tougher back then...with pro-bowlers (4 to 6x) Manning (2x SB winner) and Donovan McNabb who took the Eagles to a superbowl with Owens.

 

[MyFairLady]

I will say that I do not remember the entire media community making videos that show how Romo was confused and clueless but they do not seem to have any issues doing it with Dak.

 

[Acceptablename]

I was livid when Romo wasn't even given a chance to compete in 16 and basically tossed to the curb like yesterday's trash. I mean Romo had his bad games. But to me,Tony was definitely a smarter QB as well as a better passer. Seemed to make lesser WRs better. Dak should be all world with this talent and he's not. He's an average QB propped up by the talent of the roster. Give him lesser receivers he's below average.

Romo was finished he was busted up and getting hurt [back] too much. You saw this rookie QB win 9 games in a row and win OROY. Just by those results and his greater leadership I dont think they had any choice.

 

[Whirlwin]

Dak is not taking this football team anywhere…he is all talk…

That’s the last thing he does

 

[Acceptablename]

I think you have forgotten Romo’s play his last six years. Not his play but his availability that matters
Also Dak’s intangibles ensured he got the job

 

[lukin2006]

That’s the last thing he does

you must have missed the loudmouth and his garbage pregame speech…talk is cheap, but that 40 million dollar backup has cost us any chance of success…and only losers are happy with 12-5 regular season when beating up bad teams but 1 and done when playing an average playoff team…

Happy. I’m so pissed I could spit nails. Put the blame one person is just a stupid decision. The whole entire team sucked. Extending offensive plays for the 49ers because of penalties. Discipline zero. I totally believe this team overachieved never should’ve even gone that far

Garbage pregame speech LMAO only losers think it’s not a team sport

 

[BobbyFlame469]

To me, the main difference between the two is Romo would throw the ball when he shouldn't have and Dak won't throw it when he should. Both are bad traits but of the two I think I'd take Romo, would have loved to see him play with a good OL early in his career, maybe some of those ill-advised passes wouldn't have been thrown if he wasn't running for his life 80% of the time

Romo was a gunslinger but when he played in a ball-control style offense you saw his efficiency like in 2014.


If I were to guess, maybe he fell in love with the “Cowboys QB” image and thought he should be a gunslinger to portray it

 

[IceStar-D7]

Like asking if getting killed by a bullet is better than a knife. What's the difference-you're dead.

LOL...

I do think we need to just get better.

1. I’m a Dak fan.
2. Romo should have started in the playoffs.
3. Romo was a better QB than Dak.
4. Dak had an argument at one point that he was better than Romo but based on the large sample size we have now, that is clearly not the case.
