Video: David Carr challenges Dak Prescott to a passing competition

[G2]

Cowboys set a franchise record of 10 straight quarters without scoring a TD

During that stretch, Dak posted:

Record: 0-3
58-88 (68%)
500 yards
0 TDs
5 INTs
57 passer rating


Romo never had a 3 game losing streak as Cowboys starter (when he finished the whole game)

So it's JUST the TD stat in 2 and half games?

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

So when I say he goes 2-1 that means TD ratio or record and 356 yards passing?

So how does that suck on comparison to Dak and his 93 yard performances, record quarters in going scoreless with no TDs, league leading INTs returned for TDs, multiple lower 100 yard passing games which you were comparing it against?

None of it is any good though. In today's NFL? 93 yards is abysmal just like a 5 to 7 td to int ratio is. What are you arguing here? Dak in his second year sucked worse than Romo in his 11th year?

That's because Romo was sitting on the pine at 23 years old while Dak has been starting.

So everything is a excuse? Reasoning qualifies as a excuse now? Facts are excuses? It must be great to live in a world wherrr everything is black and white and there's no reason for errors. Must be a awesome life.

Romo not playing when he was 23 is irrelevant to this discussion.

I generally agree; although I think some coaches might have tried to kill time and might have considered not scoring in that game because it seemed highly likely that the Cowboys defense wouldn't prevent another score.

Basically I don't blame them for not doing it, but I think a coach has to at least consider it in that situation.

In my opinion, the mistake was throwing the ball on 2nd and 2 after Zeke gained 8 yards coming out of the 2 minute warning. There was no good reason to throw the ball in that situation. The coaches shouldn't have called a run/pass option but they did. Dak should have handed the ball off but he didn't. The Cowboys were running the ball well, we had 2 time outs, so we were no longer pressed for time. If Zeke were to score on the 2nd down play then so be it, but risking stopping the clock with an incomplete pass on 2nd down was stupid. Of course, we are a ball control offense for the first 28 minutes of each half and then have no regard for clock management after the 2 minute warning. It's my #1 complaint with this coaching staff.

How is it irrelevant? Dak is a young qb. Comparing him to a 36 year old veteran is moronic at best. Romo was sitting learning football while Dak has been asked to come in and start immediately because Romo's body couldn't hold up....yet, that's being held against him.

31 and counting

 

[pete026]

Can we get it to 32?

 

[C42]

Those targets weren’t getting enough separation.

Do you think Romo learned more sitting on the bench his 1 year or 2 than Dak did playing and starting 16 games as a rookie? Just curious what your thoughts are on that? Dak had more experience going into his 2nd season than Romo had when he took over from Bledsoe, unless of course you think you learn more carrying a clipboard on the sidelines then you do by acutally playing.

I will grant you that Romo probably learned more from Parcells than Dak ever will from Garrett, but actual game experience is much more valuable than theory (sitting on the bench) .

That's a good question.

It depends on when you are asking. Like I think what Dak learned year 1 sort of became moot when teams started giving him different looks than he was accustom to seeing in year 2.

I'd say that Dak probably did get more knowledge actually going out there and playing as opposed sitting for a few years....but at the same time...we've seen guys like Romo and Rodgers who sat a few years and came in as if they have played the game before.

I think it depends on the quarterback as well.

they have nothing so they are grasping at straws. If Dak started off slow and progressed, they might have a point, but he got worse...

We all know why. We’ve discussed ad nausea. Agendas are a mutha!

 

[Oh_Canada]

You mean the game he came back to early for, without hardly any practice with the team, because the team wanted to save his season against one of the best defenses in the league that year?

Ahhhh he was cleared to play and he sucked and the next time he played he got hurt....again.

He is a broadcaster now, just enjoy his voice and move on.

How does 2-1 suck, while throwing for 356 yards and winning games on his arm.. Romo also started slow in 2014 in his first game.. but his ‘suck’ is light years better than Dak..

You have no argument, because Dak was garbage a whole season long and set all sorts of Cowboys records in futility during 16 games and couldn’t even move the ball against third string scrubs in Philly.

 

[khiladi]

O line struggled to protect and the running was missing? Sounds familiar. But that "excuse" only counts for certain sides I guess.

And yet we won on Romo’s arm who threw for 356 yards and Randle in the backfield with a Zach Martin playing with a bad neck and a new OL coach for the first year in charge of the running game in Frank Pollack while Dak couldn’t move the ball against third string scrubs in Philly and we won this year despite Dak and so on.. totally different scenarios.
