Dak wasn't that good last night **merged**

[Reid1boys]

If we could finally get Garrett a good QB he might not suck.

Exclude Belichick... because obviously he is a deity, and name me your top six nfl coaches.

The first three plays of the Cowboys vs Giants looked like Dak was playing chess and the Giants were playing checkers. Watch how each of the plays were building a crescendo for Tavon’s TD on the 9 route.

Watch Dak’s hand placement on the football each of the plays. He really is performing the small nuances that allows a QB to be successful. The I formation sells the run for play action. Dak appears to hand the ball off with his left hand. Landon Collin bites on the fake and Dak fires the ball deep. Jack Rabbit is overwhelmed and could not cover Tavon Austin. Dallas was cooking with gasoline.

good set of play calls and execution. if you look at the long throw, Austin beat his man, but he had to slow down and wait for the ball. Dak should have led him instead..... the WR got wide open because of defensive break down and Austin's speed.

Would have to be the one with the 6 best QBs. We need Garrett to get a good QB. He hasn’t had one yet. Belichick and Parcells couldn’t win with the QBs we’ve had

I mean that's one example of a team, but what about a HOF Owens and Witten? I have a hard time believing they weren't enough.
Or, how about Murray having the best season a Dallas RB has ever had? Ever. Maybe if Romo made better late season decisions we would have had more postseason success.

You have to look at the entire teams, not just HOFmers. Murray had a great season in '14, but the defense was better in '16.

Romo has his share of the blame in some of the postseason losses, but even there, he was seldom the reason we lost. I'll give you the Seattle shiny ball incident, but other than that, there were other factors in other play off games (including the Minn. loss where pretty much everybody sucked).

You may have missed a handful of things being Romo's fault.

A handful of things out of all the losses... that's not a bad record. Stepping on Ty Smith's foot and losing a fraction of velocity on a pass that got picked on a diving interception, after having the greatest offensive display in Cowboys history, against a decent Denver defense, can't be blamed on Romo. Somebody gave up a bunch of points to put Romo in the position where he never should have been after such a great day. That game symbolized that part of Romo's career. He carried some bad teams to mediocre records and some medicre teams to decent records.

The offense was better in 2014. You are missing other opportunities. Not just Seattle.
2014 vs. GB was the wrong gamble in that situation.
2011 vs NYJ, he fumble again at the end. At the goal line. Then, he throws an INT.
2008 vs. Pittsburgh he throws a pick 6 in week 14.
2013 vs Denver - Another late INT somehow gets covered up by passing for 500.
2012 vs Washington week 17 for the division, Romo throws 3 INTs.
2008 Divisional vs. NY. Another game ending INT.
2008 Week 17 vs. the Eagles - Romo is 21 for 39, 183 yards in the 44-6 loss. Rating of 55.8. Worst performance all year.

Just off the top of my head. He just wasn't built for the late or postseason. When opportunities presented themselves to do what everyone expects Prescott to do every game, Romo just couldn't get it done.

You know.... This bs is starting to be repulsive. How many friggin excuses are you all gonna make for Romo? He was our starting quarterback for 8 years. During that time he’s had some damn good teams. Teams that were equal to or maybe even better than the 2016 team. Romo simply wasn’t the caliber of quarterback that you all make him out to be. Putting it bluntly. Romo didn’t get it done. Case closed. Let’s move on.

THANK YOU!!!!!!

No, but like with Romo, it isn't usually Rodgers' fault when they do lose. As far as "system vs. plays" A system is something that is based on plays. If on practically every snap, you tell Dak to make a quick read, hand it off or run it, that is your system. If you incorporate those plays into something more complex like Linehan tried to do in Carolina, then that would be better than doing it as frequently as they did against the Giants. Good defenses that play their responsibilites can easily limt the effectiveness of RPO.

LOL...…..give me a break. That was pretty much the first game we saw that, and it worked like a charm. Probably won us the game. How about you relax dude. Complain about our horrid coach for a change or our receivers. Maybe the Oline, safeties, ect...ect…

Dak is a work in progress as most 3rd year QB's are.

Nonsense. Romo would win the game and then the defense would cave, and then he would have to win in again and the defense would cave, then he would have to win it again and then he would throw a pick.

But I freely admit that his gun slinger ways lost us some games for sure. HE was probably of the worst game managers I have ever seen. But then again, he had Garrett as his OC or head coach the entire time.

Even more repulsive is this strange and pathetic need to continue discussing Romo incessantly!!!!!!!!

 

[glimmerman]

God forbid somebody talks about one of the things Dak does well right?

Jesus dude.

Did well. Don’t you know that’s all luck. Look at his footwork. Was inaccurate. Terrible throw. Lmao.

We need 2 of those a game. Even if they don’t connect. It set the tone and threw that defense off big time. Mix it up each game and it’s a recipe to get opposing defenses out of stacking the box.

True, but all these Dak haters don't like Dak for one reason and one reason only. Because Romo retired and Garrett chose Dak over Romo. Any sensible fan would be happy as a clam that we found Dak in the 4th round.

So if they are going to be annoying and rag on a 3rd year QB, then might as well be annoying back and hack on Romo.

I was pointing out postseason issues.

You've pointed out seven losses. I can gaurantee you that Dallas lost a lot more than seven games under Romo's watch, lol.

As far as the bolded item, You obviously don't understand football or not watching the game if you want to blame Romo for losing the Denver game. First off, Ty Smith got pushed back into Romo and Romo's follow-through was disrupted so he lost a little on the pass and Travathan made a diving pick on it. Do you think that our defense might have been just a little responsible for giving up 50+ points?!!! Crying out loud, what more could you want from the man in that game and don't say "throw a pick", because that was totally a flukey play.

I completely agree. I'd rather they went back to Romo, but acknowledged that Dak has a great, all-time rookie campaign, Just felt better with Romo than an inexperienced rookie leading the team. I like Dak and hope he succeeds, but he is behind the curve in getting Pro concepts. Carolina game completely highlights this.

I would like nothing more to have Romo in his prime. But unfortunately Garrett destroyed his career. looking back, how could anyone not see how Dak played his rookie year and not want to look forward? How could anyone fathom that our Oline would fall apart like it has? Unfortunately these young QB's HAVE to go through growing pains. Now that Dak doesn't have 4 seconds to throw and 3rd and 1 every time, we are seeing that he needs needs work.

The funniest thing these brain dead trolls do is when they try to pass off early season AFC games as “big games”. That’s how bad they are reaching to try to come up with a list, and over a 13 year career they need these games just to get the list to a half dozen. If it wasn’t so pathetically stupid, it would be funny.
Oh no, we lost to the Jets, we’re 0-1 and now we lose the tiebreaker to them (lol). How can we recover from this with only 15 games to go?!? This was such a BIG game!!!
