Twitter: Dak Prescott's place in Cowboys QB History

[TheMarathonContinues]

Andre Gurode spoke of the infamous Seattle fumbled snap, which is well-known information that has never been universally accepted:

It’s funny because initially I’ve seen them blame Bledsoe for not holding the snap, I’ve seen people blame the drizzle…..

I think people are just tired of excuses. It’s always something with Dallas.

Im gonna get in the weeds a little bit. Who would you have hired, signed, drafted that would have gotten us a guaranteed super bowl?

If I were Jerry Jones, I would not have run off Jimmy Johnson by insinuating any coach could have won with the team Jimmy built. At that point, Jerry was trying to take all the credit without giving Jimmy Johnson the respect he deserved. To hell with any fan that thinks Jerry was responsible for the three nineties SB's.

I can't believe two things here:

1) That you didn't remember this game and play.

2) That you are mad at me over it. I'm not the one who choked the hold and game away, Romo is the one who choked at the worst possible time.

Right on both counts!

1) Yes, Of course I remember it
2) No, I'm not mad.

Hard to believe YOU'RE still mad about it.

1) It was how many years ago?
2) Romo should have been replaced as soon as he started QB. Bill couldn't have worked in ANYONE else? Reckless!
3) The other team used the Slippery Ball trick on him. And some people here have said NFL changed the rules about it not long after.

It's a bit baffling to me that when talking about QB's and their flubs...there's always somebody raring to go about a FG hold.

Roger. Troy. Danny. Tony. Dandy Don. Dak.

I like how you guys pretend like Danny White was this great QB just to crap on Romo and Dak lol. Not saying he wasn’t great before my time but the agenda is clear lol.

Danny White was certainly better in playoff games. He was 5-5 and lost to the likes of Joe Montana because of "The Catch". He probably would've won a SB if that didn't happen.

What snap?

Seattle playoff game.

Aye I’m not knocking the guy like I said it’s before my time. But 20 years ago I never heard anyone bring him up like they do today. He wasn’t brought up as a positive when I was growing up. I never heard anyone say he was bad but they use to talk about him like they talk about Romo.

will go down as having some the best rosters, surrounded by Pro Bowlers and all Pro's only to crumble during the playoffs.

Are you referring to his rookie year? Or perhaps the disappearing acts of Quinn’s Ds?

Dak shares in the blame but your comment isn’t factual.

 

[Vtwin]

When you're comparing Prescott and Romo against guys who played in old days ask yourself this.

How would they do in an era that didn't allow them to get out of the pocket and launch the ball into the stands when the play broke down.

Personal opinion is that Romo would have been the same guy and Prescott would have failed miserably.

 

[DarkVader33]

Legendary regular season let’s carry it over to the playoffs and watch the haters fumble and cry,

I wonder what excuse they’ll use if Dak wins a super bowl. And they will. And my comment will be considered pompomming. Lol

 

[DarkVader33]

Cowboys have given Dak names but never “players”. Micah was a name and the playoffs start and he’s a no name.

Name and star power has never been the problem.

Lack of toughness, lack of physicality, lack of dawgs….

We will see this year…people didn’t like the names because they weren’t big names but they got some dawgs and players who don’t take plays off.

Don’t forget about the coaching.

Also, everything the cowboys have around Dak is the best to suit the narrative. But then complain about the same players sucking.

 

[DarkVader33]

I'm not sure that's a requirement.....no "flawed" QB went to or won the SB...ever?

The GM has given Dak some prime tools...on offense anyway. We've had some "decent' defenses...last year we were SCREAMING for "average" we've surely had that at least a couple years.

I'm pretty much okay with most things about the team..even no SB (last years defense excepted). What I despise is the WAY we did "2-5" (sorry shab!). The won loss ratio is miniscule to the WAY we got 2-5. I don't see how that's all on Jerry. Good enough to get INTO the playoffs...and then the players ship themselves?

Those decent defenses disappeared in games against good teams and the play offs. Just like Dak and the rest of the team. Is there a common denominator we can point to? I say plenty of blame also goes to the coaches.

At this point it’s all that’s left to root for. I always said if he did win they’d discredit him and say he was carried lol.

Right lol. They hate our hires and our GM but don’t acknowledge that it hinders this team.

Indeed! Like our run game gets stymied most of the game, so what does coach do? 3 straight runs up the clogged middle 3 yards form the goal line. FG.

I beleive that was Garrett that did it the most.


There's plenty of blame for EVERYONE to get a slice!

As much as it frustrated everyone we played like crap that game. Seattle had no healthy dbs and we couldn't exploit them. Prior to the game we backed into the playoffs and were several weeks removed from looking like any type of contender.

Of course im going off memory here, but this is what a recall.

More than anything that play set the table for Romos career. He and Dallas were always "that close," but still a million miles away.

And...a play that he should NEVER have been involved in. Thanks a lot Bill.

He has been brought up in many threads in the 20 years I have been here. Many times. Discussing exactly what the people here are discussing. Either you didn't read those threads (doubtful), don't remember them (possible), or "your agenda is clear" (most probable), to borrow a phrase you used a page ago.

He was not always brought up as a positive due to Aikman and Staubach, because, unlike those two, he could not get over the hump, running into a couple of dynasty teams in the NFC championship game. Apparently, now you don't even need to get over the hump (divisional round) to get to the hump for people to think you are better, sadly.

Fun fact. Who has the third-highest winning percentage as a starting QB for the Dallas Cowboys? Danny white, 62-30 (67.4%) behind Staubach and Morton. And still has three more playoff wins than either Romo or Dak (in fewer seasons).

So what are you arguing? You disagree that no one spoke of Danny White negatively but give the explanation for why they did?

Not sure if you got offended by mistakenly thinking I was knocking White but like I said I can’t speak on how bad or good because I wasn’t even born.

It’s wild my post you felt the need to disagree with but someone said Romo was better than both Aikman and White and not a peep. This place is nuts.
