Y'all want to see some of the worst interceptions ever in Cowboys history?

Check this out...

Romo's last 4 years as a starter (2012 - 2015 seasons). He was in his early 30s, supposed to be a veteran QBs prime years, especially with Romo's experience up to that point.

Check out these interpretations. Some of the worst throws ever made.... into double and triple coverages, across the middle of the field against good coverage (deadly sin), off his back foot, off balanced throws, not enough arm/zip behind some, too much air behind others, and some of the worst choke drive-killing/game & season ending "win or go home" jobs seen in a very long time throws.



But yeah, let's instead bash on Dak's 2017 13 interceptions where 5 of those easily were on the receivers.

no, but let's bash Romo instead?? tired of the Dak-Romo ping ponging in this damn place

In 5 years people will be bringing up his Roy campaign. How'd that work for rg3? Dak has had a top run game and oline for all his years, what did Brady have when he started? BB?
I somewhat agree. Peeps should tap the breaks on looking at Daks rookie year. A lot of young guys catch the league by surprise. You mentioned RG3 and I would add Kaepernick. Once the league has some film on you, things become more difficult.

I'll wait to see how this season plays out before casting any kind of judgement. He's 1-1 in my book. This year is the tie breaker lol

I don’t like the Dak/Brady comparison.

But to answer your question...............A team good enough to win the Super Bowl 3 out of 4 years.

I only saw two that were clearly on the WR.
But if we are honest, if you want to subtract ints when a WR is at fault then you'd want to add ints when a db drops one right to them or a WR prevents the pick. It usually all washes out in the end.
Btw, as bad as Dak looked at times last year, 13 total ints is not horrible. Granted, if you have less attempts it's a bit worse, but 13 still is manageable if you can get 30-35 TDs.

1 -There were some straight up awful decisions and throws from Dak. Pressure or not.
2 -There were some that were thrown away for multiple reasons.
3- There were bad routes run.
Also, if the ball hits your hands or face you HAVE to make those plays as a WR. It's not BS, not every pass if going to be perfectly delivered. We didn't a whole bunch of talent at WR last season.

The Dez defenders will only see number 3 and claim that Dak is being excused.
The Dak defenders will only see number 1 and dismiss blaming the QB.

The truth lies somewhere in the middle.

I blame the coaches, they should have just ran the ball...:laugh:...just kidding...

5 out of 13 Ints went right off receivers hands (2 Terrence, 3 Dez)
3 were cause by arm or body contact during the throw

4 touched WR hands (Not sure where you're getting a third for Dez, 2 were bad throws, at least 2, probably 3 should have been caught). Welcome to the NFL Dak. This is normal. The lack of these in 2016 was very flukey as are all the dropped ints by defenders.

It is BS. It ignores physics. Sure in most situations it's probably an accurate expectation, but it is far from absolute.

Very reasonable points and commentary. You must be a logical and reasonable person in life

TD INT

That's Romo stats in a 4 year stretch, wake us us when Dak even gets close to those numbers ....thks...now lets all go watch Dak hand the ball off to Zeke and throw a zillion dink and dunk passes...thks
Yep. Only took Romo 4 years learning on the bench and holding a clipboard before getting his shot.

Meanwhile, Dak gets thrown into the mix right outta the gate. Nice try though. Lol

I guess I am a Dak-bot. Here's my take..

The pass protection last year was a step above garbage.
The WRs outright caused 5 of those picks. Hard to tell if lazy route running had guys out of position to make catches.
IMO 5 of those were ALL Dak.
The wide receiver effort to make a tackle after the picks were disgraceful. Besides the crappy blocking this bothered me most.
Have a look at the 2nd Denver and SD picks. #88 in Denver shows exactly why that loser needed to go.

I am more of a Dak-bot having watched this!

You should say that to the OP and his minions.
Awwww comeon bro. I don’t have any minions. If anything I’m a minion to the Zone and try to keep things interesting. Yes, sometimes subjects can be beat to death but I got a good tweet thread or Oline thread going on which are fresh topics.

As always thanks for your commentary and keep posting brother.
Go cowboys!
