Uhhh, remember, I supported Romo overall, especially in the very beginning and mostly during his last few years. Too bad he went Hollywood and got involved with that limelight seeking headache. Waste of his prime years. By the time Romo "mentally" got it, his body was breaking down. That's all a fact. So glad Dak is not committing the same mistakes. If he did, I would be blasting him. You only get 1 chance at life, much less playing and starring for the Dallas Cowboys. Don't waste it.

I wish there was a record of the old forums so I could prove what you said wrong...but I bet those that remember will support my assertions over yours. :)

I do find it interesting that one side gets a lot more vicious than the other, which then prompts the retaliation. Then the side that started it gets all bent out of shape for being benched for it, citing some kind of conspiracy.

It’s some kind of mental disease.
If people's stated opinions on Dak actually reflected their powers of judgment when faced with everyday situations, society would be chaos. We can't possibly be talking about reasoned, informed conclusions here.

I wouldn't say it's a disease at all. I just think it's human nature for some people to respond that way. Could be totally wrong, but it sure seems like a way to deal with losses in a team sport.

You could be right. In that case it would just be a mental weakness.

You supported Romo for like 2006 and 2007...then you hated him with a passion...at no point did you support him after that.
Uhhh, wrong. When he finally started dating his wife, got married and thus was making much better decisions both on and off the field, I supported him. Too bad his body was breaking down by then.

That's Jerry's fault for letting the O-line deteriorate into trash. "We don't need an O-line when we have Romo." Fortunately Romo negotiated hard and people convinced Jerry the needed a line...and Dak is fortunately the beneficiary of that. His career would be shorter without the line...as would any QB. We saw him run less in 2019. I don't think that was just him worrying about being hurt before a contract. I think he was convinced to take it easier for his longevity...which will benefit the Cowboys in the long-term...though I do think his run threat needs to be there to help the offense.

Excuse me? No. I'm not doing anything other than pointing out behavior I witness. Remember, I support Dak. I do NOT support the unwarranted insults and insinuations then watch as the guilty party whines when they're benched for it.

Insults? Pay close attention. You just might realize who are starting the insults.

I've been watching for years. It's a very select group that ALWAYS resorts to insults first.
No, sir. You are 100% wrong. You should know better since you were a part of the old forums. You saw first hand back then who would start the personal attacks. When others retaliated, they got punished. You know this.

Basically, this board wants to give no credit to Dak for his stats and I think that's dumb. Garbage time or not, he earned those yards, and thats why he has them. People are just angry that his stats happened in an 8-8 season, as though Dak is to blame for a useless special teams and an underachieving defense. If we had won 10 games, suddenly everyone's perception would be more kind.

People snickering at Dak weren't paying attention. By and large, it wasn't Dak's arm that was killing drives. Drops, penalties, and routes short of the LOS. A couple games were lost by doggedly running on first down when passing was working. Then other games by not running when Zeke was looking good. So many games lost by coaching. Then let's hope Witten gets separation in the biggest moments. Some bad end of game coaching.

Dak's arm could have given us hundreds more yards, and more wins too, if used properly. Similarly, his *legs* could have given us more as well. Dak gave us a lot this year, and he had more to give that the coaches failed to take.

The offense should have produced much more last year, and without the Garrett drama, and with McCarthy directing Moore, I see an offense that should produce big this year.

Dak had a horrible game against the Eagles. Most off target of this career, let alone the season. Which is the more reasonable explanation, that Dak simply couldn't hit the broad side of a barn in one game, sandwiched by two 40+ point, 125+ QBR games, for no particular reason beyond personal variability, or that the shoulder injury was the cause of the inaccuracy?

Team game, including coaches. Dak was our best skill player. People dogging Dak are trapped in judging a QB by the team record, instead of what *he* does to contribute to it.

No one outside of Dallas think he's top 5 or top 10. For people to keep comparing Dak to Brees, Rodgers, etc. is an insult to all of them.
What a stupid post.

He was top 10 this year by just about any metric. But that’s inaccurate because YOU say so?

Troy Aikman says he wouldn’t hesitate one bit to pay Dak a huge contract.

Yes, that Troy Aikman.

Who are you? And from which facts did you form YOUR opinion?
:lmao2:
