A shame. 1 or 2 plays away from breaking through and possibly making it to the SB. That murray fumble and Dez rip off no catch in the packers game was the year.
Add no interior pass rush, no late hits on Romo called by refs and what seems like a false start on any critical 3rd down to make it third and long...er

So basically they were drunk on the Dak Kool Aid.

But I'll respectfully disagree as far as the past failures in the playoffs factoring in.

I think the overwhelming driving force was the ability to claim we got a franchise QB and Franchise RB in the same draft in comparison to Philadelphia who only got a Franchise QB (that they had to mortgage the farm to move up for.) We enjoyed thumbing our noses at them.

A Super Bowl later combined with a putrid performance from the rookie record breaker.

Now all we are left with are delusional fans who break thier necks to make all kinds of excuses for this inadequate QB.

These are the same people who bring up and put down Dez and Romo in order to prop up Dak in every debate.

This kid has thrown some of the worse interceptions I have ever seen in my life. There's times I dont know where the ball is going, could you imagine the poor WR. Who not only has to catch the ball but they have to protect thier bodies. Its violent going over the middle. You dont want to have to reach backwards across your body exposing your ribs.

But if you dont the fan base screams poor Dak

How in the world did Dak make Dez look so bad:huh:
Are you seriously blaming Dak for Dez playing like hot garbage? How about his sideline antics and in game meltdowns?
I mean, surely we can all agree Dak needs to work and did throw some bad passes, but it's unrealistic to not hold him accountable for his own choices and actions.
It seems that some are so bent Romo retired that they'll defend the most ridiculous things.
I loved Romo, not hate here. But eventually you have to see the writing on the wall and move on. It's been 2 years+.

Like the non holding (sleeper hold) put on Irving in front of the ref in the 2016 packers game on the big down that rogers killed us again. Thanks to Byron Jones just standing there. Would have been a 10 second run off and likely put the game in OT with us having the momentum.

He led the offense to more success than Romo did in his first two seasons. People see what they want, doesn't make them right.

That doesn't mean the staff was confident that he could remain healthy. Otherwise Romo would have kept his job.
That’s assuming the staff had the last word and if going with the best talent was the overriding influence in the decision .

For the record assuming your counting Romo’s first season starting in 2006 led Cowboys to their only consecutive playoff appearances in 21st Century. 2006-2007

I think most would consider that more success than Daks first two seasons ?

That's a lie. The national argument was
" the team is winning and you dont want to disrupt the chemistry. You have to leave Dak in"

And all you short sighted fans signed off on it. Which encouraged management to roll with Dak.

Why do you keep hanging your hat on. He has been successful. The Rookie Record Breaker inherited the best line and rb in football. When he lost a couple of those components. He **** the bed. And made the whole WR Corp look like crap.

Right!!

The Winning Wave was the driving factor in the decision not Romo’s health which he obviously in his brief appearance looked ready to go.

Romo’s health was perhaps a bigger factor in the decisions moving forward past the 2016 season than the immediate decisions heading into the playoffs.

I love how you blame my point of view on Romo. I am talking about the play on the field from last year. Last year I watched every game with my Dak Jersey on in Philadelphia Country. Every game hoping for the best. At the end of the day all I saw was a QB that looked lost and confused. It was sad. And pathetic.

Then all you delusional fans were so confused by the fall off in play of the rookie record breaker. You couldnt come to terms with his pathetic QB play you invented all kinds of excuses.

Like calling me a lover of Romo Dak Basher Dez Supporter.

Just look in the mirror and face the facts. Dak is not what we thought he was and we were all bamboozled.

But as long as this team stays healthy he should once again succeed because that's how good our oline and Rb are

No they only consider stats. Unless of course you are talking about the last 8 games of the 2017 season. Then they will drum up all kinds of excuses

I won't bother addressing this entire pile of crap rant, because you're teetering on the edge. But, if you can sit there and not admit it wasn't ALL Dak's fault and that our special No. 1 WR sucked all on his own - no use trying to have a convo. Dez was horrible.

I think what the debate comes down to with many fans is because of Romo’s recent injury issues they were ready to move on since we’d appeared to finally found a suitable replacement.

The Winning Wave caught us all by storm. Daks remarkable Rookie season was one for the ages which provided us much hope for the current and the future. No longer were we held hostage in the absence of Romo’s injuries.

The lack of more success, the frustration and disappointment associated with his era presented an obvious need and desire for a QB that could take us further. And Dak provided that hope for a brighter future and present.

Unfortunately the fruition of those hopes didn’t meet their expectations. And the struggles and issues which arised last season has further muddied the waters of the decision that was apparently made hastily influenced more by emotions of the day.

Until Dak meets the expectations which drove the decision it’s going to continue to be questioned and discussed.

Not a single person has ever said it's all Daks fault, but sadly this must be reiterated because i keep seeing "it's not all Daks fault" arguments.

That's completely false. Trolling status has been reached. Well done!

I like the reference last seasons Seattle game as about when I stopped supporting Dez as a player. There were copious examples prior, but that game really captures the essence of how Dez fell apart mentally and hurt the team. I'm excluding the couple of horrible passes Dak threw, especially one of his INTs. No excuse for that. But Dez made Dez look bad plenty on his own.

See above. Dez sucking is blamed on Dak. And I'm not putting everything on Dez or excluding Dak from blame, if you're paying attention to my posts.

These are all sharply divided debates. It’s very similar to the divides we had in Romo era into who was more responsible for the struggles and disappointments.

My take would be Daks inabilities exposed more of the weaknesses in our passing offense. Dez had always had some weaknesses but our former QB was able to optimize Dez strengths.

LOL. How'd this become a Romo vs. Dak debate ..... again?

I'll just say that Romo was one of the best undrafted QBs of all time and basically made himself into the talented thrower he was. I have nothing but respect for what he did in his career. Sure, he won't be considered elite but he has tons to be proud of. I hope Dallas is able to hire him back as a coach soon.

How come every time you quote me you start with an insult.

Trolling? You've been trolling me for the last 2 days.

The Seattle game? Did you watch Daks performance? And you still support him?
