10 years ago today Romo suffered a back injury in the preseason, paving the way for Dak

That's besides the point.
How is it beside the point? The poster you responded to said Dak had only two playoff victories in ten seasons, to which you replied with the implication that Romo had just as many in 14 seasons.
 

This is why all the people who seem to think that 20 or 30 preseason reps is somehow gonna make our quarterback better a veteran quarterback with all that experience no Prescott and Romo shouldn't play in any preseason games not snap it is not helping game one or Game 4 that they play a few measly snaps in the preseason they get plenty of reps and I mean a lot of reps in the offseason more so than the what they'll throw in 17 games total that's how many reps they are throwing in the offseason between the stuff they do on the side and all the mini camps and Otas which Prescott goes to all of them he's make sure he shows up no matter his contract issues or not he gets plenty of reps..


We've already seen it from other teams players going down in preseason games there's no reason to risk your veteran quarterbacks to any preseason snaps 'cause I don't see the upside I don't see it at all..
 
Looking back again….i guess I see why they don’t play starters….
It's because there's no upside to it at all if anybody thinks that somehow you're gonna roll into the first quarter of the first game and that's 20 reps in preseason against backups not with your whole starting team somehow is gonna make you better no it's not Most teams are not in game shape and mentally and physically in a flow until like Game 3 anyway no matter what you do in preseason this is not your dad's football or your granddad's football there's no need for these guys who get so many reps in Otas mini camps they meet each other in certain areas to work out they have trainers they have diets I mean it's zero upside to playing your starters outside of some rookies or guys who just joined your team as veterans that need a little work with hearing the huddle stuff on offense and defense and getting lined up right those guys need to play but other than that no there's no upside to it at all....
 
you dak bots are something else
Romo was injured for 12 games in 2015
tell me, Dak bot, how do we do when Dak goes down for that much of the season?
You can’t have it both ways Romosexuals. You can’t say oh It’s a great team but then ignore they couldn’t win without Romo. Mind you they had Matt Cassel who won 11 games with the Pats. How do we do if Dak goes down? How the hell would I know? All that talent was out the league a year or so after.
 
Dak got lucky when Tony went down.

Rookie QBs don't get to play on a team like that.
Bold> The missing keyword is 'often'. Dak Prescott was not an abnormality. He was simply the latest (at that time) of rookie quarterbacks for playoff caliber teams, who became the starter either through injury or because they were drafted by their front office for the sole purpose of becoming their new franchise quarterback.

He joined that select list of 'good enough' teams like those led by Ben Roethlisberger, Mark Sanchez, Brock Purdy, Joe Flacco, Shaun King, Jayden Daniels, etc. Every rookie quarterback led team has exited the playoffs before the Super Bowl. What was and still is an abnormality was the presence of the just benched starting franchise quarterback on the same roster as the rookie quarterback for the playoff bound team. That particular circumstance was far rarer by comparison.

I'm trying to remember if those guys had a zeke to hand it off to...often. A huge O-line (never the same since Travis left!) and super stud RB takes a lot of pressure off.

And yes....the crux of that season was....A fully healthy Romo does not come back in. One surgical drive then benched. Weird.

Wrong, the "10 years" was in reference to Prescott.
Apples to Apples or don't attempt a comparison. Not only that, Prescott isn't retired. No one's fault Romo sat the bench for years.
 
You defend Dak's losing record in playoffs as "it's a team game"...but challenge someobody else on Romo's record.

"You don't even get that you don't get it."

Don't be mad you got busted. Own it.
Sorry, but that's not an argument.
No idea what you're trying to prove, but it's not the big win you think it is. And, as you proved once already, you don't get it. Too busy being a contrarian with "everything Dak." You can't even stay on point or subject. Your football IQ is flurishing in the single digits.
 
The team won 4 games a year prior. Great luck that is lol. A honor to play for a crappy team lol.
This is the type of post that clearly exposes the emotionally driven agenda.

2016 had the same o-line. same receivers and same defense as the 2015 team. 2016 had a significant upgrade at RB. Not to mention Bryant suffered a Jones fracture in game 1, missed 5 games and played hurt the rest of the 2015 season.

The 2016 team was clearly a better team than the 2015 team and better than the 2014 team that won 12 games. The 2016 team had 5 all pros, Elliot lead the league in rushing and was awarded rookie of the year by the PFWA.

Suggesting Prescott inherited a "crappy", 4 win team is flat out ridiculous.

A franchise QB has to put the team on his back. Romo's snapped.

Which has what to do with the quality of the 2016 team compared to the 2015 team?
