Any reason to believe Dak era will surpass Romo era?

[Blackrain]

I would agree he appears to be a winner while not being a prolific passing QB.

We’ll see how far that takes him. The bigger point is how much better would our offense be if we did have a Mahommes type talent?

That’s not a bash on Dak just wanting something more. I wanted more with Romo too.

Probably better but it is much more confidence inspiring seeing Andy Reid teaching Mahones than having to watch Dak schooled by the water boy .
We all want more but the end has to justify the means . Its a team game and if you cant put a team around a star player you compromise his ability to succeed .

I feel it is better to have the resources to build a great team and watch a promising player mature around it than throw all your recourses at one guy and hope he is Super Man .
Dak gives us the ability to build a team a trade for Mahomes would require recourses we don't have .

He just lost the other night. Pure and simple.

That was a team loss Dak committed no game ending turnover , Trust me I have seen enough to know what they look like LOLOL

Will anyone remember the Romo era 20 years from now?

EROD and Cowboy fan 927 will I promise

Romo had two good enough teams in 2014 and 2007 to go further . 2007 was the true opportunity missed.

But in between while we did we have the offensive weapons and why they were top 10 most seasons never had a top 5 defense. Their offense carried the team. Last time we had a defense ranked this high it carried Quincy Carter to the playoffs.

I agree we should set the bar higher but not until we have achieved a consistent level of success.

Quoting Romo from "A football life". My biggest disappointment was not taking the best team I was on, the 2009 team, to the SB. Not the 2007 team OR the 2014 team. So ok, the 2011, 2012 teams sucked. The 2007, 2009, 2013, and 2014 teams didn't. Fact: the defense carried the team to the playoffs in 2018 and 1-1. The offense carried the team to the playoffs in 2014 and 1-1. Fact: the 2007, 2009 teams had both and went 1-2.

Your question was "any reason to believe the Prescott era will surpass the Romo era". My answer is the same. The Romo era ended in 2 playoff wins after 10 years. Prescott has 7 more years to win 2 playoff games and surpass what matters most. Could care less about passing records. Your assertion was that Romo made the whole team better. Perhaps but I don't care if he took the team from 5-11, 6-10, or 7-9 with his passing stats to 8-8 in the mean years. He played on some very good teams and took them to 2 playoff wins.

How Romo ever transformed into a diety is beyond me

Nope. I was told here just a few days ago. Wins and Losses are QB stats.

Obviously... all they have to do is look up at the Ring of Honor.
Hopefully Dak will be on a bye week for whatever XFL team he is the backup for and he can attend the ceremony. Maybe he can pickup Danny White on the way and they can both splash on some Dak cologne and see a real QB go in the Ring.

I could care less where Dak is 20 years from now. I’m not a Romo or Dak pyshco fan like some of you. I’m a Cowboys fan. Romo was a good QB that couldn’t get it done. We’ll see if Dak can become a good QB who can get it done.

The comparisons here is Romo and Dak. Romo didn’t need an All Pro ol, league leading running back and top 10 defense to make playoffs.

Let’s see . I’d rather have a qb who needs all of this surrounding support or one who elevated those around him? Why are we so attached to Dak?

Why are you comparing peak Romo who had nearly a decade of experience under his belt to years 1-3 of Dak. Parcells was quoted as saying “if we had started Romo earlier than we had, it would have been worse than bad.”

Has there ever been a QB in the history of the NFL that could carry a team on his own as a rookie or 3rd year QB? That is the most outrageously inflated set of expectations I’ve ever seen.

Not even Brady or Rodgers could carry teams that early in their careers. Lunacy.

With Jerry and Stephen at the controls and Dak gobbling up cap space, I’m pretty sure you — and every other Dak slobberer — know how that’s going to end.

Both eras are really the JG era.

Can you read? I just said I could care less about Dak or Romo. I already stated in this thread I prefer a great team that can win despite the QB. Some of you think having a great QB means success and I’ve already pointed out average QBs who been to same number of SBs as some of the all time greats.

If I had my way I would spend most of my money and picks on the defense. Then try to build a run first offense that play action passes about as much as the Rams.

Romo was amazing (check the username) but how can you root so hard against your current team’s QB? I imagine the fan experience isn’t very enjoyable when you’re rooting for your own players to fail.

I’ve never seen a fan base so obsessed with a retired player especially one who won absolutely nothing. Why don’t we compare Dak to Aikman? Better yet, Staubach! It’s absurd.

 

[Chrispierce]

Yes,I think you can say that. 13-3,9-7,10-6...that’s a better trend than where they were at. And if they’re going to postseason now playing as awful as they do at times,you can only think when they do get more stable they should be able to win some of these games they are losing.

That’s like saying Witten or Ware couldn’t get it done?

Dak could become part of a championship team here but that doesn’t make him an elite or prolific passing qb.

 

[jakethepug]

No way!
Dak only wins if the defense carries him like Trent dilfer!!!?

 

[mrmojo]

In answer to your question, there isn't that much to surpass if that's the goal. What was Romo, 2-4 in the playoffs? So to surpass the Romo era the Prescott era will have to win what, 3 playoff wins? Not very lofty goals IMO. Passing stats? Who cares. Just win 1 conference championship game or 3 playoff games and Romo's legacy is surpassed. Perspective right

Just GET to one NFC Championship game and Romo is surpassed.

 

[jakethepug]

Romo should of played in 16!!!!
Another blunder by Garret and the organization!
How do not let a veteran qb play against Rodgers in that game !!!

 

[SultanOfSix]

It depends upon what you mean by "surpass". As in more playoff victories? It is quite possible since teams that Romo was quarterback for only had two of them and Dak has seven more years to go (if he's still around).

Will he surpass him as a better QB? I don't think so. He's just not as good.
