Does anyone think Dak is better than Romo was?

[Gangsta Spanksta]

Dak has the locker room. His leadership traits have never been questioned. Many times it was stated Romo was not the leader of the team and deferred to others instead.

Leadership traits not being question does not a good leader make. Who exactly stated "many times" that romo deferred to others? And this isn't from Locker room cancers like TO, right? As far as leadership, when have we ever seen Dak talk to anyone on field when the flow of the game was going wrong or to get the team on the same page? We even seen that on occasion from Romo. The whole Dak is an awesome leader seems a bit unsubstantiated to me. People like to bring it up all the time but then can't explain how he is a good leader.

McNabb was a drunk he didn’t choke either. Prescott is the best under pressure if you’ve been paying attention. But of course there’s a handful of people they would like nothing better. And watch him fail

Dak struggles and never performs under pressure

I want all Cowboys to succeed, as fans, arent we supposed to?
I just know Dak for what Dak is, thats a middle of the pack, non weight baring average to decent QB in this game at this level, its the NFL.
Dak will retire someday as one of the most under skilled players in the history of the Dallas Cowboys during the cap era vs cap hit.

Yup. Inopurtune turnovers. He had to take a lot of risks to try to keep up with all the points the defense was giving up. He was a baller but the turnovers will always be part of his legacy

Ok then yeah I agree with that.

I am not saying Dak is just this amazing leader, I am simply saying he was better than Romo in that regard.

You not showing examples and just going by perception. In that article, where does it exactly say players saying that Romo not being a good leader. I see TO's mentioned and him being more vocal that Romo, and TO would've been more vocal than Dak because from what we seen Dak has been less vocal on the field than Romo has been. Dak hasn't had to deal with locker room cancers like TO and Patrick Crayton who got ruined because he listened to TO. One bad apple... I've seen Romo get Vocal with Dez to get him on the same page. I don't see Dak get vocal with anyone. Heck that article many of the things that it says about Romo you can put Dak name there and it would still be true. You don't think Leadership translate to playoff success? The problem in Dallas isn't Talent. It is culture, and there is no leadership around here including at the quarterback spot. Dak hasn't stepped up to fill the void of the lack of leadership we are getting from coaching. Us not having success in the Playoffs shows that at best Dak is an average leader just like Romo was. I still don't get why people think that Dak is such a great leader. If you can't give examples on how, you just going by the hype. Don't believe the Hype and press releases. The results speak for themselves. Lack of Playoff Success = Lack of Leadership. We never seen Dak get vocal with anyone, just like the article said Romo didn't get vocal with anyone. So far they are the same.

Ok then yeah I agree with that.

…..thank you for your blessing, Godfather

On the field, Romo was better at quarterbacking.

 

[Redline360]

Simple questions that solves this. What quarterback would you build a team around? Anyone with two active brain cells would pick Romo.

Romo ran his own offense per ex teammates, had far less superior teams bar a year or two, and made others look good. Better arm talent and could read defenses later in his career,
Dak....was a better runner but that has fallen off a cliff and leadership although this is starting to be in question too.

Dak is still young and learning. Took Romo this long to become one of the best in football.

Not even on the same tier for me. Dak has ways to go but he is good enough to bus drive us to a championship imo

 

[starfan1]

Page 38 and they both are underachievers

 

[Hadenough]

Dak is an idiot

Romo is not


Dak is just a better salesman

Or better thief!

 

[Buzzbait]

I think that's the thing...was it REALLY time?

Everyone says "but he was fragile"...and that is a simpleton way to look at it. Easy way out of the controversy.

Dak FINALLY gave Romo time to fully heal. Romo usually PLAYED hurt or came back still hurt. Playing hurt in the NFL is a good way to stay hurt....as a QB anyway.

Romo's final drive was a sign of what might have been. "Time to go"? Um.....maybe and maybe not.

Like I said, I was a Romo fan as well, but to some of his really hard core fans "REALLY" time for him to go wouldn't have come till he was about 67 years old with every bone broken or ailing. IMO it was clearly time for Romo to go. He was spending way more time injured on the bench than on the field.
"Romo usually PLAYED hurt or came back still hurt." .....That was exactly the problem except there at the last he was hurt too often and too badly to play, and that was becoming the norm for him. Enough is enough already.

Both Romo and Dak see 1-3 in the post season. That’s all that really matters to me. Neither has produced when it means the most

That is when you need either 1) An Elite Quarterback that is enough of a difference maker to effect the outcome of the game or 2) A Quarterback who isn't an average leader. And this is why I don't by the whole Dak is a great leader spiel. He isn't a bad leader; he is just average like romo is far as leadership goes. Most people here will hear a news sound bit and run with it without any evidence or examples to support it. I really haven't seen much leadership on the field from Dak during the playoffs when things are heading south. Where is the vocal talk to his team mates to snap them out of the rot that they are in? Instead, Romo and Dak are effected by the same rot that everyone else is and will play just as poorly as everyone else is during the playoffs. That is why I don't think either deserves the label of Clutch and why I think both are just average leaders. If Dak was such an effective leader, then he would get vocal, angry at the teams performance, and make sure that everyone snaps out of it and gets back onto page during a major game. Until I see that from Dak, like we saw from Aikman in the past, like we saw from Irvin and many other cowboys on championship teams, then Dak is no more than an average leader in my eyes.

Don't you remember how Dak asked his teammates to donate $500 each to the practice squad players because they don't make as much as the starters? His Daksexuals said that is what a good leader is. lmao

People said Mark Sanchez was a good leader and Aaron Rodgers is a bad leader. Does it really matter? Being a good leader is one of the most overrated things in sports. If the player is good then no one cares. If Daks best compliment is that he is a good leader then we are in big trouble. It just means he sucks at being a QB, otherwise, people would say Dak is a good QB to describe him. BTW, Dak is much closer to being Mark Sanchez then Aaron Rodgers. This bad QB is being paid $40M to be a good leader.

 

[FiveSuperBowls]

When both healthy, Romo was better and bordered on elite.

And yet you don't get Dak helped him come back fully healed. FINALLY!

Enough is enough indeed...jeeze! Romo haters. GOD. Unbelievable.

 

[CowboyFrog]

The fact this thread is as long as it is speaks volumes about who we are as a fan base.....again What QB has dragged this boat anchor owner across the finish line since he "Took control"..end of debate they are both good QB's they play for a horrible organization..close the thread.

 

[Cowboyluck]

They are the same! They haven’t won anything.

 

[Bob-Lillys-War]

Dak is def better so far .
