Prime Romo would win the Super Bowl with the current Cowboys

[Hennessy_King]

Umm...I countered the notion that the blame is on Romo for a team not winning Super Bowls. That is absurd. Organizations win Super Bowls. Not just teams and not just players. ORGANIZATIONS.

There is no doubt in my mind that Romo had the talent to win a Super Bowl. He didn't win one not because of his lack of talent or his play. He didn't win one because of the above fact. It is those who are anti-Romo who put the burden squarely on his shoulders for the losses. It is a ridiculous thing to do. There is too much nuance involved.

As for the Dak reference, that was in regard to the move for Cooper likely being pointless if the QB can't get him the ball. Romo proved over and over again that he could see the receivers in a timely manner and get them the ball. Dak has regressed and is one of the primary reasons (along with coaching) for the low scoring, stuck in the mud offense. Romo could overcome Garrett and company. Dak is showing that he cannot because he is holding the ball for too long, not seeing open receivers, and his wind up when he throws is problematic and his mechanics are still bad.

He might see them but he misses too. No QB is perfect.

For GAWD’s sake, Romo’s gone!

Get over it, already.

It's crazy that this garbage thread is at 20 pages. Imagine if Romo was actually a hof worthy QB.

Hall of who?

so I wish freakin dak could give us some yards and scoring..the last 12-14 games have been very INEPT..ive never ever witnessed games like that from Romo..what the OP is saying is with this defense and potential running game like glance of 2014 Romo would be destroying this 89 man boxes..period they respected romos Passing threat and would not get away with this BS, a few plays Washington had 12 men down around the line of scrimmage..they sold out on Zeke..

BTW sure RS but did room have all the HOF Coaches and players that Aikman and Staubach had? heck NO.. dooms day defenses? new offensive and defensives drawn up by Coaching staff that no one has ever seen? no he didnt he was Undrafted and destroyed the cowboys records Regular season counts stats are facts..he excelled at his postion..

I wouldn't mind a defense lining up 12 guys every play....walk in TD

Put Dak on the 2007 team they win a Superbowl..he sure wouldn't have been partying in Cabo.

I tend to agree with you couch coach. in fact my first post in this thread expresses similar sentiment. this is simply an argument that can't be proven one way or the other

there are too many other things to take into account including the quality of the other teams at this time. Take the Rams for instance. I agree with you that Romo would make this offense a lot better than it is but good enough to beat that Rams defense? I don't know about that

the one thing I will say is that sometimes when the team is struggling it is more fun to have debates like this then talk about everything that is going wrong on the field LOL

There ya go. Take our minds off reality, and let's talk about what we want to happen.

I don't see how going to Cabo on a trip when the head coach shut down the film room and told the team to take a break is worse than going clubbing like Dak did during the 2016 bye week.

Dak also probably would have been shut out with the 2007 playoff team vs the 2007 NYG defense.

thats a nice fantasy to replay in your head over and over again

Romo had better teams and did nothing.

It's funny how this is generally ignored by certain posters.
RomoFTW!!!

Well, the whole offensive supporting cast in that playoff game outside of the TE was worse than what Dak is working with now. The NYG defense in the playoffs was also better than any Dak has seen yet. I don't think it's unrealistic at all.

it was huh a hof wr and te in their prime along with a pro bowl line.

The HOF WR was dealing with a high ankle sprain and wasn't anything close to his normal self. The line right now is a pro bowl line yet you don't hesitate to criticize it.

Romo never had a Defense that was this good. He also never got to play with Zeke. Romo’s Quick release, sliding within the pocket, and Houdini escapability would make the o-line better. His accuracy would make Cooper, Beasley, and Gallup better. Too bad Dak makes receivers and the o-line worse.

this OL has given up the 3rd most sacks in the NFL so far this season - they'd put Romo in a casket

there is 1 player playing at a pro bowl level right now. That hof wr still was ballin. please you are reaching that 2007 team was the best team since the early 90's team. Pretty sure it had a record amount of pro bowlers on it. Don't use 2007 as an example you will look bad

Why do so many think the O line is elite right now?

I have no idea. It's not even close to elite. It's trending below average

You are seriously claiming that TO was balling in the playoff game? No shame for him not being effective with the injury he had, it was great that he was even playing. The main reason that the Giants were able to limit the Cowboys in the playoff game compared to the 2 games in the regular season was because they were able to leave TO one on one in the playoff game and he was still blanketed on the majority of plays.

I would take every single position on the current oline over their counterpart in 2007 with the possible exception of LG (weakest player on both olines).

Blindness

It's not elite right now, but it is above average. Which is better than the 2007 oline.

Bruh TO had over 100 yards with a broken leg.
