This is false. Romo played great and the offense had success when much of the unit was bad and certainly far far worse than what is currently playing.

Tell me how younger prime Witten, younger preinjury dez bryant, martellus Bennett, demarco murray, felix jones, marion barber, travis frederick, tyron smith was bad.

The past is the past . Yes I was a fan of Romo. But that has no bearing on my opinion of Dak . If he was great. I’d be the first one waving the Pom poms. But he isn’t. It’s been a long time since I seen my boys playing for the SB. Time is a ticking and it is More than obvious Dak is a con. DC’s have him figured out. He has not shown he can adjust. Simple facts

What is it that he cant adjust to? Pressure in his face all game long, a bad scheme, receivers that rarely get open, TE and RB's that cant block?

Of course you won't pick it apart because you can't. You remember one game where Romo scored 49. How did Dak win more games than Romo in regular season when Romo had a younger Witten, pre-injury Dez, better Oline that included Ronald Leary, and Demarco Murray who rushed for MORE yards than Zeke? That's funny how 13 and 3 and 9 and 7 is considered a failure, but it's considered Romo 'carrying' the team when he went 8 and 8 and 12 and 4 his past 2 years. Romo has had nearly a decade long career with an offense stuffed with hall of famers and probowlers and he hasn't been any further than Dak in the playoffs. Romo put up 21 against the packers, but it was everybody else's fault, but Dak puts up 31 against the Packers and he was the reason we lost. Funny how 'lack of an o line' doesn't count as why Dak isn't successful, but it's fine to excuse 3 8 and 8 Romo seasons because of that reason.

How many years did Dak have Jason Garrett as his play-caller? I’ll tell you ZERO.. how many seasons was Dak not allowed in game planning when Garrett was OC? Zero.. are you going to sit here and say that Romo walked into a rushing attack like Dak did, when Garrett couldn’t run to save his life?

Are you going to sit here and say Andre Gurode who couldn’t even call the plays as Center, Marc Colombo, Leonard Davis and Marco Rivera are equivalent to the All Pro Line that Dak walked into an OL, or whom the majority of those guys had been playing at minimum 3 years together and coached by arguably one of the greatest OL coaches in history in Callahan? Three of these guys mentioned above that Romo played with allowed 60 sacks one year when Flozell went down during the Parcells era. You will never find Dak playing with guys that awful on this roster.

You can deny it all you want but Linehan as an OC is still light years better than the Garrett.. from coaching to personnel, your comparisons are garbage.. Yeah, Romo may have had some skill players like TO and Witten, but he still has the trash play caller and when DeMarco Murray ran for more yards than Zeke it was because Jerry banished Jason Garrett from the offense and it was a Romo-Linehan show and Murray’s runs were heavily built off the RPOs of Romo himself, meaning it was Romo doing the dissecting of the defense and calling the run plays based on the looks he was seeing. Dak can’t do that worth anything and they tried it in year 2 and they had to dumb down the offense for him. And the year Murray ran for that much, Dallas won a playoff game and was robbed in Lambeau against the GB Packers who were undefeated at home. Comparing that GB team to the one Dak faced is a joke, considering that latter had a decimated DB backfield and was giving up 400-500 yard game regularly going into the playoffs and most analysts were saying by half the season Rodgers was probably done that season. Wow, congratulations Dak played good against a mediocre defense, after starting off slow, throwing a crucial pick in the third quarter in GB territory after Zeke carried them down the field, the same defenseman that ended up getting destroyed by the Falcons the next week surrendering over 40 points in a blowout

Dak, with Garrett as OC and the joke of an OL, what you are seeing right now with Dak is a performance this last stretch of football would be even worse... Garrett was last in the league in play action usage for years upto the point he was demoted and Linehan has called more play acton for Dak in half a season than Garrett probably called in two years.

You are just throwing around a hodge lodge of names for your idiotic these.. Smith was drafted to replace Flozell, while the rest of the OL was mediocre. Leary was a late pick by Callahan, I drafted if I remember correctly in 2012. Romo effectively played 2 years with him and Frederick the next year. Your acting like these guys were all playing at the same time. And Murray has played three more seasons without Romo and in two of them rushed for 700 yards and around 680 yards respectively.

Did you see The Hurns article ?

Did you happen to see Dak has more time to throw than all but 2 NFL QB’s.

Did you happen to see the fact that of the 11 sacks. Only (2) were actually on the O Line ?

Did you happen to see the coaches were in fact the same ones from 2016 ?

Did they not make this offense more “Dak Friendly “ ?

Did you notice who leads the nfl in rushing ?

Put all of that together , can you honestly tell me it’s everyones fault but Dak ?

Dak is the engine son. Quit complaining about the rim and tires. Both Mayfield and Allen uplifted their respective teams who also appeared to have WR and O line that were “ineffective “

What have you seen from Dak in the last 13 games which warrant more time ?!

I’m baffled son. Maybe we are not watching the same guy throw .

lol it's funny how romo can go 8 and 8 for 3 seasons with guys like witten, dez, martellus bennett, demarco murray, felix jones, tyron smith, travis frederick and he is 'carrying' those guys. it took zack martin and murray rushing for 1800 yards to break 8 and 8... but dak going 13 and 3 and 9 and 7 with older versions of a lot of those guys and zeke out for over a third of the season is 'everything going perfect' for him.
What makes you think having those players makes it “perfect for the Romo”. It took the coaches until 2014 for them to get that they were already built to run the football. That’s why the packers couldn’t believe what they were doing in 2013. Which bye, had the worst defense in franchise history.

some are just hoping he does great so they can keep on blaming Romo for everything.

My point is pretty simple Dak has sucked like the entire offense. That 3 seconds to pass article is BS. To blame one guy is beyond stupid and shows a complete lack of knowledge of football and the QB position.

We could have had Goff. 3 picks away and Jerry just sat there and picked a fat RB, with criminal issues.
Lol zeke is a freak and the only reason this team will win a championship
Really, so what did Dak have perfect when he succeeded his rookie year. I want to hear this.
Oline Zeke dez Witten a decent defense perfect situation his rookie minimal pressure his situation was ideal. Add the pressure of media and Tony Romo name still lingering around also pressure of fans to win yeah he busted like a rusty pipe

That 2014 team was an 8-8 team and Murray carried them to 12-4. Since he pulled his weight he shouldn’t be blamed for his fumble in the playoff game. Romo logic applied to Murray.
