There is no hypocrisy here. For example. Dak never played with Garrett calling plays. Garrett was still running 2 WRs sets and when the whole league has moved into 3. The type of offense Dak is running under is nothing like Garrett, with its heavy use of play action. A Dak-Stan is one who resorts to excuses that don’t exist for their boy that actually existed for Romo. In Garrett’s last “official” year of play calling, Dallas was like 31-32 in rushing. They were still running man blocking schemes with Houck until they lucked into Callahan.

Linehan completely dumbed down the offense for Dak, including doubling play action usage, while impending the read option. Romo was arguably the best QB in football in his first year with Linehan, and they was without Zeke rushing for 5 YPC on first down.

Teams didn’t load the box like they do with Dak his whole career, daring Dak to beat them with his arm. Dak had an OL with arguably 3 all-pros that played together a minimum of 2 years together.

Romo was the one of the best QBs in football when they took it out of his hands and gave it to murray and we had the best line in football period. He never got us past the divisional round either so they both are they same QB they both are and were flawed just in different ways. you just happen to like romo so you find every way you can to discredit everything dak does because your still pissed. I would be perfectly fine with an upgrade at QB I just know he hasnt been the only thing holding us back just like Romo wasnt. Since Patrick isnt available and we wont picking high enough to draft an upgrade Im not sure what the solution is. Tanking? I see what the chosen one is doing in jacksonville and there are times he looks ok but he looks pretty pedestrain to me. Now having said that he'll probably light us up.

Im not even going to address the defintion of Dak stan lol. romo had more excuses than any QB in recent memory with the exception of maybe dak hes had alot of excuses as well. They are the same QB they are failures but only 1 has a chance to remedy that. all your complaining isnt going to change that

Linehan completely dumbed down the offense for Dak, including doubling play action usage, while implementing the read option. Romo was arguably the best QB in football in his first year with Linehan, and they was without Zeke rushing for 5 YPC on first down.

Teams didn’t load the box like they do with Dak his whole career, daring Dak to beat them with his arm. Dak had an OL with arguably 3 all-pros that played together a minimum of 2 years together. Dak sucked once teams sat on the route of Beasley, so the team blamed Dez for Dak ‘forcing’ the ball to Dez. They coddled this QB and all his limitations for years, while admitting he didn’t ‘practice’ well, but supposedly showed up on game day. It took a week for Dak to throw a TD in training camp in year 3.

Like I said. Romo was benched at arguably the dumbest time in history, as the stars had aligned for us to actually make a real run.

A Dak-Stan is one who uses every excuse that has no basis in fact to prop up there boy for ‘whatever their motivation” is.
I am just amazed at how bitter he still is.

This wound will never scab over for this Romo Stan.

he did a lot more. attacked down field a lot more than rush and the balls, are just faster out of his hands....I mean when rush threw and out pattern, I would go to the kitchen, make a sandwich...realize I ran out of mustard, go to store, get two kinds of mustard, make my sandwich, take a bite, be back at my chair and the ball would just barely get there and be knocked down.
Except Rush didn't generally throw into triple coverage.

Was a great play call, just poor execution. Bottom line is the first two drives featured Zeke at RB. And he picked up 2 yards on his first carry which put us in 3rd and long. Then he couldnt pick up the first down on 3rd and short. Both of the first two drives were 3 out in part because Zeke failed to anything with is runs.

On the 3rd drive Pollard is featured and thats when we start moving the ball. Pollard picks up 7 yards on his first carry and then another 8 yards on another carry. Now were moving the ball and play action is working. We score.

The offense is just much more dynamic and effective when Pollard is featured. 6 ypc as compared to Zeke and the hapless 4 ypc. Not rocket science.
We still need both

The best ones win SBs and don’t pad stats in garbage time like he did in his first game back. If Dak win like Brady we’d have no problems tolerating his “daring” to test the DBs.

At least you admitted that Dak isn’t among “the best ones” so that’s progress…. And at least you admitted that this was a horrible throw.
Dan Marino never won one, or is it a team thing? I forget

Oh you mean Romo an actual passing Qb?

Yeah, I had zero problems him trying to carry the dumb Garrett, while the majority of this board was declaring Garrett the next Tom Landry, while the man couldn’t field a RG to save his life. We also saw what Romo could go the moment he had Linehan, who was an average but experienced OC, here.

We saw Garrett’s ‘greatness’ in NY.
Excuses excuses excuses lol, Majority of Daks career was with Garrett lmao and Garrett Jr as well

Romo broke our hearts plenty of times, at least give Dak the same time frame to break our hearts lol.

When did Rush have 3TDs drives in one game or 3 drives over 65 yards in 1 game

I don't recall the defense getting 5 turnovers in 1 game this season. Anyhow, Dak went 3/9 on 3rd down and 2 of the TDs came inside the last 6 mins mostly around the running game. His QBR was 55.0 against the Lions, you keep dreaming he's elite.

So Dak couldn’t throw an accurate pass to a wide open Noah on his second progression, even if the first option wasn’t open for whatever the reason?

And what does that have to do with what I posted?

Guys DAK went 3-9 on 3rd down.

Even though we ran it and failed at least 3 times...those are all on DAK.

Forget that he got sacked twice on 3rd down as well...those were also CLEARLY on DAK.

Thanks for clarifying that those last 2 tds didn't count because they happened in the last 6 minutes.

Good stuff Bro.

..no complaining here. DP did ok in my book.

Moving well and throwing with velocity.

He'll find groove once he gels in some areas.

He’s just getting out of week 1 while the rest of the league is out of week 7. There is no substitute for game speed.

Dak's first pass was off. But most of his other passes were on point, including that long pass to Ceedee where it was almost intercepted. From the front angle Ceedee should have been more aggressive in going after that ball. I think he was out muscled by the defender and thus it looks like it was a bad pass by Dak.

Dak has improved a lot recently. He is starting to hit his target on stride. What I still don't like about him is that jump pass when it is on a bootleg. He needs to stop, get his feet planted and throw. Stop doing those jump passes. It can cause injuries.

Garrett wasn’t calling plays since 2014. Cut the Garrett excuse. They’ve coddled DAk his whole career here, including allowing him to play in meaningless games to get more quality reps while making the offense “Dak-friendly” along with not having him compete for the starting job, because he sucked in practice and he’s a mental midget.
