A reminder that Dak Prescott is the longest tenured starting QB in the NFL

You think he is going to get 4k this season?
Why do you keep asking me that lol? I keep answering it the same way if he plays 16 games yes. If he gets hurt probably not. I mean that's what he's shown us in his career. If he plays 16 games he should get it.

I don't even look at 4k yards as a benchmark. Score and take care of the football. I'm perfectly fine with less yards if it means more wins. Or if more yards means more wins i'm fine with that too.
 
Do you remember the game they brought Romo in and he expertly marched them down for a score. And Jerry instantly put him back on the bench?

I happen to think it was insulting. Why? Why do that for one series? I do believe it threatened Jerry's new toy. There is no other explanation. And it's been that way ever since. Other teams draft QB's even with Super Bowl winning ones.

Dak Defenders will tell you "Romo didn't do anything"...and at the same time tell you Dak DESTROYED Brady's career. People. :oops::rolleyes::huh::facepalm:
It was another example of Jerry Jones contradicting himself. From mid-November to the game, Jones had stated several times Romo's new role as a backup would benefit him.

The benefit? It would prevent Romo from incurring another injury. In effect, he was protecting Romo.

So, how does Jones make certain Romo cannot possibly be hurt again? Answer: he lets him play a series in a non-meaningful game.

Narcissist's mentality.
 
He's been unchallenged because the Cowboys have never made a serious attempt to bring in any kind of possible replacement.
Why did they need to make a serious attempt in the first round? Did you want them to use their top pick on a QB in 2023 with Dak just coming off leading the league in TDs and was second in the MVP voting? Did you want them to use their top pick on a QB at number 12 this past April after just signing him to a mega deal? If you think he’s the main reason we’re struggling in the playoffs and another QB is going to overcome the deficiencies we have, you’re wrong.

Patrick Mahomes wouldn’t win a Super Bowl with the teams we’ve had under Dak. We’ve seen what’s happened to Mahomes when it’s all on him and his defense can’t stop anyone. I don’t think Dak has ever looked as bad in the playoffs as Mahomes did in the Super Bowl this past February. Look at Lamar Jackson in the playoffs. You can’t just throw it all on your QB.
 
and they dumped Romo and would not let him compete for his job and squandered probably our best chance at getting to a NFC championship game in 20 years
I highly doubt it. This is funny about you guys.

So you guys believe Dak sucks because he hasn't done anything in 10 years.....

Romo who also has a history of choking was gonna magically in year 13 get us to a NFC Championship game when he never did it lol.


You see how delusional y'all sound lol?

Fair enough. I just think he has a bit of wear and tear on him since 2023.

It was against a bad team that had nothing to play for. That was Jerry's send off to Romo. Everyone knew Romo was finished.
 
Drafting a QB with a first round pick doesn’t mean they’ll be able to challenge Dak. He may not be great, but whether some of you want to admit it or not he’s still a good QB and it would take a terrific QB to beat him out.
Sure, but Dallas could have drafted a QB that is simply "good", and used the $60M/year they are paying Dak to pay for additional talent.

I would take Jaxson Dart AND $60M in additional talent over Dak all day long. (Dart was there for the taking) If Dart doesn't pan out, try it again in a couple of years. You'll never hit on a QB if you don't try, and Dallas hasn't tried since Aikman.

The question of "Dak" isn't a yes or no question. The salary has to be considered also. Having Dak as QB isn't the biggest mistake- it's making him the highest paid QB in NFL history that is the BIG mistake. An historic mistake.

That is an irrelevant conclusion concerning Jones' public reasoning for why Romo did not play up to that point. Football is not an injury-free sport like shuffleboard. None of the Philadelphia Eagles defensive players (no matter how far down the depth chart they sat) were playing half-speed in order to protect Romo.

The opportunity for injury was practically non-existent while Romo stood on the sidelines in the games prior to that one. The chances of injury increased as soon as he stepped on the field--just like it is the case for anyone else in the sport.

What game was Romo suppose to play in? Cowboys had nothing to play for up until that point. It was the only chance they had to play Romo.

If you question the salary part then you also need to factor in the Cowboys don't spend money in free agency despite having a bunch of it. You guys never factor that in to your equation. If the Cowboys had a extra 60 million we would curretnly have a bunch of guys on this team that should've been gone. We would've re-signed Dalton Schultz types, we would've kept D-Law, kept Jourdan Lewis.....I think you guys believe with more money we'd sign like Aaron Donald or Deion or something.

What game he was supposed to play in? I never stated he should have played in any game. I was reciting the public reasoning Jones gave for why Romo would not be playing in any games unless he was pressed into playing due to Prescott suffering an injury.

How do you know the QB would be good? You would have taken Jaxon Dart with the 12th pick? :huh: If he was close to a sure thing, he would’ve been drafted a lot sooner. Even if you traded down to get him we have much bigger needs. Good luck sticking him behind our OL.
 
Sure he was hurt. I never accused Dak about faking injuries. Ham string injuries in general slow down a player. I would imagine tearing a ham string off the bone would slow someone down.
I can't say......with a 3 to 6 month injury.......seems like it can't slow him down any further then the other injuries have.

Yea I just don't see how he gets hurt sitting in the pocket. I could see if he went out there running all over the field. Chances of getting hurt were slim to none.

Bold> That is true. It is why every football game never ends up looking like a MASH unit.

However, you acknowledge there was a chance. I do not have any reason to counter Jones thinking differently. That he may, in fact, have thought the exact same thing as you do.

Of course, that would underscore his public statements for protecting Romo. Again, what he said was contradictory to what Romo was allowed to do that game.

You're right that a first round QB is not a guarantee. But it's also true that mid-late round QB's rarely win championships.

The last time Dallas used a first rounder on a QB, they won 3 Super-Bowls. In the last 30 years, Dallas has used precious little draft capital on the QB position, and has 3 decades of failure to show for it.

Would you not use a first rounder on a nose tackle because Mazi was a failure? Of course not. You place your bets and take your chances. You draft another NT if you don't like that one. At least you try. Dallas stopped trying at QB.

Dart is an unknown for sure. My guess is in 1-2 seasons, he will be a better QB than Dak, also younger and a lot cheaper.
