Romo became a great QB when he had a good RB to take some of the pressure off of him. Earlier in Romo’s career, he lost several games because he was trying to do everything himself and he choked, but he really improved about the time that his body started falling apart.
Again, you're reading what you want into my post and not what I said. I was explaining why people were commenting about the difference in OL talent between Dak and Tony's terms and your using it to push your agenda. I like Dak but unlike you, I try to be objective about him.
Seriously?
LMAOIt’s never all on Romo. Everybody else on the team were bums. Right???
How many TDs and yards does Dez have and where does he rank all-time on the Cowboys lists? He only became average when Dak started throwing to him. That isn't necessarily a knock on Dak, but it is a fact.
Agree to disagree.
No it’s not a fact.
Where does TO and Witten rank amongst their peers ALL TIME? Dez is not a future Hall of Famer. TO was just inducted and we all know Witten is a shoe in. Dez was going downhill fast by the time Dak took over. Come on man. You can do better than that.
Liar!!!! The narrative on Dak is he is young and still needs to grow and develop more. As all young quarterbacks do.
Right.... It’s a lie to deflect the real facts that Dak has done better than Romo has in the win loss column in the same time frame of their first 2 years on the field.
Again, never said Witten in his prime was better than Witten in 2016. Also never said that Dez was better than T.O. Please read what I said. I just said that Dez's numbers up until Romo got hurt in 2015 would show that he was not merely an average receiver. Dez has more TDs, yards and receptions in a Cowboy uniform than any receiver who played in this millenium. Again, the "Dak is a young QB" excuse can only carry you so far. If he's on any team other than the Cowboys in 2016, he's likely a sub .500 QB. The fact that he had such a highly regarded year have set up expectations that he had no way of meeting. Truth be told, he is a young QB, but he's behind guys like Goff and Wentz when it comes to understanding the position at the NFL level. It should be expected considering where he was drafted and the offense he played in at Miss St. But even Goff who played in an "air raid" two read system is further along than Dak is now.
Out of curiosity, what year do you think was better?
All pro is a lot more prestigious than pro bowl as well as a lot more meaningful. I'm pretty confident that none of Romo's linemen until Tyron hit his stride got any all pro votes. Unlike where Dak had 3 all pro linemen his rookie year and I think 2 last year.
I think the only one that was arguable was 2007, and I would strongly disagree due to TO being a shell of himself in the playoffs due to injuries.
Yeah, I kind of said all of that when I mentioned that it should be expected where Dak was drafted and where he went to college. The OP is so hopelessly stuck on Dak, I'm trying to pry him off the cliff. The term "pure passer" has kind of become a misnomber. You either can make consistent reads in a pro system or you can't. Cam Newton is an exception that proves the rule, but he has struggled with his consistency when defenses "stay at home" against him (like we did in the second half) and when they take away his targets in the passing game. That is why RPO systems don't work well in the NFL. It's why QBs like Russell Wilson have become pocket passers. Right now, Dak is playing a system like a poor man's Cam. If rich man's Cam (i.e. the real Cam) struggles, what makes people think that Dak can be more effective than Cam?
Yep! Just sayin'.
Dak hasn’t had All Pro receivers either. Do do tell. Would you rather have several pro bowl linemen and All World HOF Wr and TE, or 3 All pro linemen and Average WRs and TEs? Be honest
