Does anyone think Dak is better than Romo was?

[sulu1701]

I agree about Romo, smarter Football IQ and better passer. he also stood in the pocket to take hits to get the ball completed, lets not forget that.

I am left wondering if Romo be a QB coach for Dallas. He could impart some wisdom to Dak perhaps. he certainly knows the game and situations.

I can't see him leaving the booth after getting that huge pay raise

 

[mattjames2010]

Again when adjusted for when they played..there were QB's throwing for 5k yards then...whats the diference. I get it you like Romo more thats fine..but to most its the same story because, well its the same story.

That really doesn't counter my argument that Romo has had far more impressive seasons than Dak has had so far. Early on in his career he had a season like he did in 2007, when he had a great o-line and running game, he was nearly the league MVP. Romo would do even better with how much more the league has went pass happy and easier on QBs.

Matt if we look up thier first six starting years its gonna look alot alike.........again the only way you can qautify it is by saying "The league is diferent" when in fact there were QB's then throwing for crazy yards..both have good stats both played really good during the regular season..hell both played some good playoff games..fact is both never made it as far as Danny white...Sorry those are facts, again you like Romo more thats fine..its just not provable.

I have told you multiple times that 2007-2013 is not comparable to 2016-2022. The league has changed. What he did in 2007 was only beat by Tom Brady's unbelievable historic season. His 2009 is nearly comparable to what Dak did in 2016, that's with passing being easier. 2011 is better than anything Dak has done as well. Anyone suggesting Dak and Romo are similar aren't adjusting or factoring in rule changes, and this is leaving out team talent.

And I don't care about yards. Who gives a crap about that? A 5,000 yard passing season today is not remarkable, it was still remarkable in 2011 when we ended up with 2 in one season. A QB throwing for 50 TDs in 2022 wouldn't be as fantastical as it was in 2007 or even in 2013 when Manning did it. Whem Drew Brees was playing 16 games and completing nearly or at 70% of his passes, his accuracy was considered historic levels - now we have Cousins and Carr who have done it.

This is what I mean about how much the league has changed.

 

[sulu1701]

I also remember that...what i also remember is he is the guy who drove us 80 yards to get us there in the 1st place....no 3 and outs from this guy with the game on the line

If Witten catches the ball behind the marker instead of in front of it, it wouldn't have came to that, imo

It's the revisionists history, just like in the other thread about how defenses make Dak beat them. As some act like this is a thing defenses do specifically for Dak. When all defenses design their game plane around making one of their top priorities stopping and limiting the QB. They just all do it in different ways. There are certain defensive game plans in which Dak didn't and couldn't over come. Just like there were certain defensive game plans in which Romo didn't and couldn't overcome,

All results leading to the same which is this franchise having failed to take the next step with both Dak and Romo, no matter how well they have played in the regular season or how promising their teams looked going into the playoffs, that they could either get to the Super Bowl or at least to the NFC Championship game. There is no denying that Dak could and should have played better against the Niners. But there is a lot of revisionists history in acting like defenses didn't have the correct game plans to shut down or limit Romo's offenses. Philly had the Cowboys offense to 6 points, the Vikings held the Cowboys offense to 3 and there were other teams that managed to come up with good enough game plans against Romo lead offenses, that he only has 2 playoff wins in his career.

Even if Romo's teams were as bad as some insist, it still means that Romo in the end couldn't do enough to overcome and beat enough teams to get the Cowboys to a Super Bowl.

I concur

 

[keysersoze]

More importantly could ether one hold Aikmans or Staubachs jock?

No.

Nope!!!

 

[Captain-Crash]

so throwing shades at romo somehow makes dak not suck as bad. lol. oh my.

 

[keysersoze]

The 2007 team lost to the Giants who beat Favre and the Packers and the undefeated Patriots. If you cry about rewriting history, first give full context.

We all know how the 2014 Packers game went. Controversial call and a shoddy defense couldn't stop Rodgers. It is what it is.

Didn’t we sweep NY in 2007? Yes. So that lame *** excuse is invalid. And why don’t you Romo jock huggers ever mention the Vikings playoff disaster? I don’t think Dak has ever had a game as horrible. Lol. But Romo was better? How???

People forget that TO rolled his ankle against Carolina a few games prior. His ankle was definitely holding him back. Terry Glenn played in this only game of the season after getting microfracture surgery on both knees in the offseason. He was done and retired after that game. The phantom offsides penalty on Demarcus Ware that was called and allowed the Giants get new life and score a td on the drive. The dropped pass by Patrick Crayton. I mean Romo had his faults but that game wasn't all his fault. They saying going to Cobo factored into losing that game. I just don't see it. If TO doesn't get hurt they are going to win that game and win against Green Bay. Not the Patriots? That would been a tougher task.

[sulu1701]

It means Romo in his prime was better than Dak. So, were Aikman and Staubach. QB play was a huge factor in the loss. For that matter, Larry Allen and Nate Newton were better offensive lineman that what we trucked out there yesterday.

Larry Allen and Nate Newton would be better now than those two penalties waiting to happen

I didn’t say the Giants loss was Romo’s fault. But still no mention of the Vikings game huh?

 

[Aviano90]

Pressure on QB. Dropped passes? Running game stalled. That would equal loss for Romo and Dak’s teams. Burrow just showed you can still win. Can we please put the excuses away for our players and quit making them hypothetical winners if everything is perfect?

 

[Aviano90]

Or the Eagles in the last week of the 2008 season to miss the playoffs where he was a turnover machine but the loss is blamed on the Oline.

Are you kidding me?

You think Dak hasn't had a game like that?

 

[SultanOfSix]

I don’t think he actually watched that game. Romo was sacked six times and hurried more than twice that amount. The offensive line was a sieve that day and lost to the top 6 or 7 defense in the league that year. There were literally times that defenders were on Romo in less than two seconds. The entire team was putrid. No help from coaching (Garrett offense so it’s no surprise), defense, or special teams.

Offensive line didn't block for crap in that game. And you know it.

 

[DFWJC]

I dont even understand the level of brain dead someone would have to be to fault the QB in that Vikings playoff game.
Multiply the situation that Mahomes was in during the Super Bowl last year by 5 and you might have an idea.
Impossible…Romo had no chance. None

Plus mentioning that game and ignoring the two great games before it seems odd

Final game of season for Division title….Dallas win
WIld Card game….Dallas win
THEN the collapse in Minnesota

 

[chris06052]

With everyone writing bout who’s better between the two , my issue is in this last game dak wasnt able to get cooper or lamb enough targets.
I believe romo is the better passer and I think most people here do as well. . Maybe daks a better
leader but if he can’t make the accurate throws Dallas won’t go far
