Because he is more experienced and a better player.

By your logic,

Colin Kaepernick would give us a better shot at a Super-Bowl because he's been there before.

Like with RGIII, these same fans got caught up in the 2012 hype with Kap. I'll never understand watching football every single week and never wanting to delve deeper into things. It's all about box scores and raw statistics, this is why the same ol' "What's their record? How many super bowls?" arguments continue to return.

Winning the divisions one game away from a conference championship.
Jerry is going to save the season. You watch.
Lol one of those was because of a bye. I remember when NFC Championship games were a given....sigh

Well he has been there before. You think he slipped and fell into the Super bowl?

Oh I see, you don't like Super Bowls. Well you'd better jump ship now and head towards Cleveland.

I do not understand why this is a 20 page topic.

Romo's back is basically crunched up saltines at this point. He's 36. If you think he feels 100 after 10 weeks, on top of being ready to take hits from 300 lbs of muscle, then I feel sorry for you.

Ride with Dak, 6-1. Get over it.

That's not what I said. You do this constantly, you simply refuse to even attempt to understand the arguments or you flat out warp the meaning.

I'm going to stop giving you Romo lovers a hard time. Dude has given us a lot of good years, although none has ended in Super Bowls, I guess Super Bowls aren't everything. I mean, I guess we could be the Texans who have never ever won a Super Bowl, I guess that would be awesome. I mean, the Chargers haven't won a Super Bowl in like ever, they have a Romo type QB, I guess they're happy with his stats and saying, oh, we don't have the team.

So Romo lovers, I feel your pain guys. Jerry still might move Romo into the starting line up, and it's not my decision, but I'd jump right on his bandwagon until he fails. I'll give Dak Prescott 4 years to prove himself as a Super Bowl caliber QB. So far, he's doing a heck of a job.

We've had 6-1 before. Romo had a couple of them on the way to 13-3 and 12-4.

Romo had good teams those years and he couldn't get it done in the playoffs. We've tried Romo in big games multiple times without much success. Time to go in a different direction. Not a knock on Tony. Just looking realistically at a 36 year old QB with multiple recent injuries and lack of playing time.

Some of you are looking into this way too much i think.
Lets look at the facts 1st before we give opinions.
*romo is 36 years old
*he's had multiple injuries in both seasons
*romo in prone to turn over the ball
*dak is playing better than anyone expected
*Dallas is 6 and 1 winning 6 in a row with prescott


Those are facts.
The key is to win. You don't do anything to disrupt that and changing a qb in the midst of winning could disrupt the winning formula.
Let romo get 100% and if were still guttingv things out and winning then why start him then? If things turn bad then he could come in and try and help. It's not that complicated.

Tony Romo is one of the top-rated passers in NFL history. Its insane to think since he hasnt gotten there in his 9 years starting, that he never will.

You know whats more insane? That there have been 50 Super Bowls. Not one single rookie has won it. Not one. Shield yourself from that fact all you want and pretend that Dak gives us a better chance to succeed in the playoffs, buddy.

Not one single Romo has won it either. He has had a decade and failed. It's a new era you can start rooting for the new Cowboys or stay pissed off and go root for another team. Dak is our QB. If they were both in their prime I'd pick Romo over Dak as well but that's not the case.

Romo can't stay healthy behind the best line in football and he's in danger by going back out there. I believe by JJ delaying his return repeatedly he is also aware of this.

This makes sense but for some here they just can't grasp the concept, even Jerry Jones is coming around though Dak is a winner. If he pulls a Brock Osweiler then Romo can play the Peyton Manning role and come in and save the season but I do not believe Dak will lose the job unless it's taken from him.

Now its team chemistry :laugh:


The players just want to win. If Romo came in and started throwing a ton of pick 6s, then yes, I could see the players turning on him. Its funny that I dont recall denver having any issue in 2015 when they were winning with Osweiller, and went back to Peyton :huh:

Why are you only making RG3, Kap predictions with Dak? Do you not see ANY qualities that project success? Have you ever made a post that wasn't negative towards Dak? The horse is dead man. How much can you pick one rookie QB apart? He's our back up QB and filling in well. He's only started 7 games. You've explained why you think he stinks? So what next?

Let me ask you this what about Romo's career has he proven that he can win in the playoffs? You can't have it both ways you can't give the team the credit this year for 6-1 and give Dak no credit while at the same time giving no blame to Romo for only 2 playoff wins in his entire career and blaming it on the team around him. That's hedging your bets and what matters most is winning over anything else Dak is a better winner Romo may have the better arm or accuracy but Dak wins he's proven it why would you want to take it away from him when we're leading the NFC? Why do you have no faith in Dak? What more can he do to prove to you he's for real? I have to ask is a race thing with you because you don't seem to give two craps that we're leading the NFC and ranked #2 in power rankings overall.

There are posters that root for Dak that just think Romo is the better option you're not one of them.

I used to say he had Russell Wilson-like qualities. I no longer see that. Wilson's mechanics were never this bad, footwork was never this bad, and Wilson has always thrown beautiful balls.

But as I have stated to you multiple times, you continue to say the same thing to me: I have told you, I like his poise in the pocket and the ice in his veins. If only that was enough to be a franchise QB.

What exactly are you advocating? If Romo's is the better option AND he's healthy, then he'll play. What are you worried about. Dak didn't create this opportunity. He didn't cause injuries to Moore and Romo. He was presented an opportunity and is making the most of it. Why not simply root for team success right now?

Yeah he's a troll probably really a Giants fan he's from NY he doesn't say anything about us winning just hates on Dak. He belongs on my ignore list not worth debating any longer.
