Does anyone think Dak is better than Romo was?

[morat1959]

Romo was not a winner. Dak is a loser. End of story.

I don't think Aikman would have seen the field had Dallas kept winning. I think Aikman came in when the game was too far gone against the Lions. That's when home field mattered. It was extremely tough to beat the Lions at home.

Aikman came back into the game in the second half after Beuerlein threw a pick 6 at the end of the first half. Aikman was completely rusty and did not play well in the second half, and the Lions routed the Cowboys.

Compare Romo and Dak's seasons 1 through 6.

Compare Romo and Dak's seasons 1 through 6.

And Also Compare how strong the NFC East was Seasons 1 through 6. Easier division equals more wins.

No, not also. We're not comparing teams. I remember some of the outlandish and ridiculous things fans would warp into an argument about Romo. Now he gets every excuse in the book; too bad Prescott wasn't afforded the same. You can't even compare two players honestly without having to muddy the waters inserting their teams and schedule.

Dak gets every excuse in the book now. It's the coaches. It's the refs. It's Zeke. It's The Entire Offensive lines. As for comparing the strength of the East, with each quarterback it is still valid. Remember the last game of the season was a pure garbage time stat padding game. A weak East Pads Daks stats.

The problem is the 2 QBs aren’t judged the same for the exact same action, by neither side. Romo can get hit and fumble the ball and it’s the line’s fault. Dak has the exact same play and it is lack of pocket awareness. And visa versa.

It is why I jumped off the Romo bandwagon and now off the Dak bandwagon. Can’t call a spade a spade with either player.

Ah. The penultimate Cowboyszone red button issue. The modern day arguing over Prohibition.

No

No

Why even bother responding if you can't counter the point that playing weak teams will make a quarterback look better than he is? The proof is in the pudding Dak looked elite destroying the likes of the Commanders and Iggles this season. He didn't look so hot against the Cardinals or 49ers. Dak walks away looking statistically good thanks to blowing out weak division rivals.

You just described every team. It's like the clowns that are using our record vs. non division teams as a way to try and trash Prescott. Dumb.

Looks like you are getting confused. I wasn't comparing teams as in Cowboys versus other teams. I was saying to compare Quarterbacks on the same team, you have to in some for or fashion take into account the divisional opponents the quarterback had faced. If you comparing two quarterbacks from the same team in different eras, then you do have to take account if one had weak division rivals and the other had harder division rivals. One quarterback could be getting to the playoffs more often not because he is more talented but because his divsion is a pushover.

My memory of that game is shoddy at best. But that sounds about right. The other thing is, the Lions were two totally different teams home and away. You used to see that a lot back then. Rarely if ever now. I don't know why.

Yeah, they were a bad matchup for the Cowboys back then - the Cowboy secondary that year had no speed and no depth. The next draft as well as the Thomas Everett trade helped correct that issue. The Lions got hulk-smashed by the Skins the following week, and the Skins had all sorts of trouble with the Cowboys (barely beat them in Week 2 after Emmitt Smith got sick, lost their first game of the season to Dallas just before Thanksgiving). It's all about the matchups.

Well...show the numbers since you are so confident that he pads his stats.

Hint: NFC East numbers are slightly better...

 

[keysersoze]

Neither one is better than the other in my opinion. They have similar stats, win loss records and playoff calamities. Those who claim Romo is better have biased agendas and those who think Dak is better just say that as a counterpoint. We have 2 SB winning quarterbacks in our history. One a Heisman
Trophy winner and the other a #1 overall pick. We need to quit experimenting with late round drafted and undrafted free agent quarterbacks and look to grab our next leader no later than round 2 of any given draft. Enough of the BS

Show the numbers to show that a weak division help pad Daks numbers, really? Lets start with points to help avoid going into a book report. The two Eagle games we won 41-21 and 51-26 for a total of 92-47. The Two Games against Washington 27-20 and 56-15 for a total 83-35. And The Giants 44-20 and 21-6 for 65-26. So 240 - 108 versus the NFC East this season. Obviously the cowboys feasted on the East this seasons, and a long with those points benefited from yards and the offense got better stats as a benefit from playing against such weak teams. That last game where the cowboys played their starters when they didn't need to and the Eagles didn't, you are saying that didn't help pad stats? Romo had both the Giants go to the Superbowl and the Eagles during his years here. Besides the one year the giants won their superbowl, are you saying the NFC East had worthy competition in it? I mean if you want to show numbers that show that during the first six years there wasn't much difference between the NFC Romo had to face versus the one that Dak has, then go ahead. But I think it is obvious to see this year and other years the NFC East has been weak in general.

 

[keysersoze]

Romo throws the ball better but Dak is the better leader. Prime Romo is better then prime Dak so far.

How??? Please explain this.

 

[Aviano90]

What does Romo or Dak win in this unprovable, hypothetical debate?

 

[Cowboysfandarin]

Romp could have came down out of the booth Sunday and geared up and played better than Dak. And that’s no joke.
