I think the actual problem here is, everyone is going by what Romo became. Which there is no doubt 2014 Romo is several levels higher than Dak.
So it is still irritating, seeing what he became, and then him not staying on the field. He also changed the called plays a lot in 2014. So he took some
of the crap we get, out of the coaches hands. Which Dak is not going to do, to that extent.
I think it is safe to say COY was gifted to Garrett, by Romo.
I think it is also pretty fair to say that the final version of Romo we saw in a full season, would have given us a better record this season.
That isn't to say Dak hasn't gotten better. I mean it is obvious he worked on mechanics etc, during the off season.
Maybe he can get to the same point... But, I think the fan base as a hole, felt like we were finally....finally... on the cusp of a deep playoff run, or a Superbowl again. Then
it was jerked out from under everyone.
While I really liked Romo, he was the reason we didn't get to see what might have been in 2016. Because he had to run the ball in a stupid preseason game, instead of throwing it away.
I actually do hold some anger towards him for that.
