Staubach: There’s accuracy issues but Dak’s gonna continue to be a great quarterback **merged**

Maybe you should send him some of yours

I'm not downplaying Romo at all. The problem is you guys are over rating Romo. How many times did Romo win MVP? How many times did he led the league in yards or TDs? How many times was he all-pro? He doesn't have Hall of Fame numbers.

He is the same tier as Eli. The only thing that will put Eli in the Hall and keep romo out is that Eli has two super bowl rings. If their roles were reversed and Eli was our QB and Romo was the Giants, I think it would be Romo who would have two super bowl rings and go into the Hall.

 

[Gangsta Spanksta]

And yet, the numbers say he was a top-10 QB.

We had zero run game and zero defense vs the Rams. Dak kept us in the game anyways by playing like a stud.

Hmm. I’m in the mood for an omelette now. SO MUCH EGG on your face.

We had zero run game against the Rams because the Rams game planned using Dak's weakness to take away the run game. You might not agree with this view, but that is the view of many different people and analysts.

 

[Gangsta Spanksta]

And yet the numbers said our passing Offense was in the bottom 3rd of the league for the season.

Just saying....

Don't forget our inability to score in the red zone. I'm sure some blame has to go to the quarterback there.

 

[Gangsta Spanksta]

The OL wasn’t anywhere close to elite this past season. They were average at best, due to injuries.

Dak also didn’t have the elite WR until halfway through the season. His numbers since getting the elite WR? Top 10 in the NFL with a 7-2 W/L record and a playoff win.

Let’s be honest about the facts.

And let be honest about the fact, and admit that most teams have average offensive lines. It's something normal to have, and shouldn't be a reason for excuses if other quarterbacks have to deal with them.

He likely wasn’t taking dementia meds then

He didn't need them back then.

 

[Gangsta Spanksta]

This is pathetic. Dak carried the team and brought them back from being down 18 points halfway through the 2nd quarter to tie the game at 31 all with 39 seconds to play in regulation against an Aaron Rodgers led Packers playoff team. To incessantly throw out the "well it's never been done so it can never happen with a rookie QB" mantra simply to ease your pain of watching Romo sit on the bench is pathetic, especially considering Dak as a rookie threw for over 300 yards and 3 TDs in his very first playoff game against a SB Championship proven team... Numbers Romo never reached in any of the 6 playoff games he played in throughout his 10 seasons as a starter.

The Cowboys didn't lose that 2016 division playoff game versus the Packers because of Dak. They lost it because the Defense never showed up and the officials as usual helped out the Packers. To assume Romo could have performed stat-wise better and accomplished game numbers he never once did before, especially at that stage of his career being old, so fragile and easily injured, is unbelievable.

you guys really need to stop living in 2016.

[Coy]

Was that before, after, or during Dak's 11 game win streak his rookie year?

During.... and Dak was not the point but I guess you didn’t read the post I was responding too, no worries bro.

 

[blueblood70]

Haha you can't take games away and try and use his entire stats. Same thing with saying Romo in his second year threw 36 TDs when he had been in the league much longer than that. Romo developed into a passer but he went undrafted for a reason

room didnt play at all his first 3 years wasn't active 03-04 and 05 the backup and didnt see a snap..he was gone 3 full years for injurys he Started 8 years that it so that all you can use for stats, the dude could sling it , is simply a better passer then Dak..I said I like Dak I hope he develops even more and becomes great but look again those stats are real averaged over 8 years they are very impressive

Dak has potential for sure, but potential has to be proven, Romo did it already..again im not knocking Dak but if we are comparing QBs im sorry at this point ROMO was better..

I know there are sides im not taking sides I loved Romo, I like dak and hope he continues to get better.

BTW you are insane if you didnt think Romo was mobile the difference is hes mobile in way to actually move within the pocket especially climb it and always looking to make plays downfield, not turn 180 degrees tuck and blindly run which most has turned into 10yard loss sacks..thats the part of Daks game that needs to grow,.Tony had great pocket presence, he felt things coming and navigated the pocket..

Maybe you should send him some of yours, at least Roger spent 15 years taking hits to his head. What's your excuse?

I can't remember the commentator who said it but he said Dak had receivers WIDE OPEN throughout the game.

 

[tyke1doe]

Don't you get tired of the excuses. Oh, he didn't have a great offensive line. Oh, he didn't have great coaching. Oh, the receivers didn't get out of their break in time.
Heck, it makes you wonder how ANY quarterback succeeds without superior talent around him. Yet, two quarterbacks get to the Super Bowl every year and one of them wins it all. And last time I checked, the last super team that won the Super Bowl was … the 1992-1993 Dallas Cowboys. I guess Aikman was carried by that team too.

 

[Willfreedom909]

Romo is just Andy Dalton with less interceptions

 

[Northern_Cowboy]

Romo is just Andy Dalton with less interceptions

If Romo is Andy Dalton with less INT's then Dak is RGIII with better legs, you guys make me laugh

 

[Runwildboys]

I can't remember the commentator who said it but he said Dak had receivers WIDE OPEN throughout the game.

Nothing new there, honestly, but Dak was the least of the problems in that game. Receivers dropping the ball, the O-line offering as much resistance as masking tape, the defense looking like it was their first day....

 

[BigCatMonaco]

Imagine having accuracy issues and completing 67% of your passes. And having less off target throw % than top guys like Rodgers or Brady(who seemingly do no wrong compared to lowly dak)


Once he “fixes” his accuracy issues and gets over 70%... wonder what the next narrative will be.

That’s awesome man, good thing I wasn’t using it as an excuse then. I was pointing out that the posters claim of an elite OL were inaccurate.

The excuses is what gets me to say somethign the most on these threads. I can understand things like when its a call that clearly causes the loss of an important game. But injuries, subpar lines, some side of the team having an off day, the occasional bad call by a ref. Those are things that happen all the time. If someone is to blame, for a game, just be honest about it instead of trying to deflect the blame. Thankful we are at the part of the season, where we can be hopeful again, hope that players improve for next season. I like the fact that the cowboys got Kitna to help with Daks footwork. We've seen Romo improve in the offseason, so I hope that Dak can as well.

yup, you're right that was 2016. I can agree to that. Not yet a horrible line though as others have claimed.
