See, the fact that you use that statement after the Philly game shows you kind of don't know what was going on then.

He said the 100% correct thing---but maybe given the low IQ of so many Cowboys fans(not saying you) he should not have said it.

His dad had cancer at the time. They were extremely close.
THAT was what he was referring to. On how a football game is not as important as life itself. Never been a more truer and grown man statement.

Understood but if those comments were isolated nobody would think much of them. But you factor in what went on in Cabo, constantly being the "celebrity QB"....just me personally I noticed far more maturation in his 30's when eh settled down with his wife than I did in his 20's.

Well said once Tony settled down he was set for big things but his body was just spent or he would have been playing football the last few years instead of analyzing it . He was a true competitor and would not have retired without a ring if his long term health was not in jeopardy . In his youth like most young guys he thought he was invincible and didnt make good use of is opportunities as he figured they would always be there

What went on in Cabo?
A two-hour flight with Witten and their girlfriends. Laying low at a house for 3-4 days during a bye week when all players were ordered to stay away from the facility. Because the word Cabo sounds exotic, all of a sudden it's wilder than all the players that went to Miami and Vegas that week. Or the ones who hung out at the strip clubs or bars all week.

And , btw, the one player who, according to OC Garrett, managed to talk his way into the facility out of the entire team to study film before leaving town? Romo

This stuff is backwards

I do agree that, like with all of us, he was mature in his 30s than 20s. Getting married helped. But even in his 20s, I think he went out on the town far less than other players, including Dak. It shouldn't matter either way. They both put in more time than most.

Pretty much everything except the great football mind part.

He said Romo spent his time chasing tail and basically made it sound like he wasn't dedicated to football and squandered his chance. BS!
Romo was a freaking hermit!

And the year of his life he spent with a celebrity girlfriend only verified it as it was her biggest complaint--that when he wasn't at the Cowboys facility, all they did was sit at home watch film or talk football with a handful of buddies. Plus, she was out of town half the time anyway. He eventually dumped her in part because he was low key and she wanted more limelight.
Any NFL player would've gone out more often with whoever their girlfriend was....but actually having a girlfriend keeps some guys from going out to the bars in the first place.
The narrative was ridiculous.
The guy was just not a partier.

Like I said earlier, I am Dak fan, but he went out on the town more in his first season (let alone the 3 others) than Romo did his entire carer.
I had no problem with him spending hours on the lakes or out partying with Zeke--during the season--because I knew he was putting in his tie to learn his position.

Romo was VERY dedicated. It's not a pissing contest between who was even more dedicated....they BOTH were.

Also, Blackrain said Romo refused to change his game. WHAT!? He was always changing his game, pocket awareness, arm angle, footwork, defense reads, etc....non-stop

And even that comment about being dumb "running" in a preseason game. How idiotic of a statement was that? He was going to get hit so he ran to an open area was going to go down. He just didn't see the guy coming from behind.

Bottom line is that its really childish to bash Romo (inaccurately and unfairly) when really we are here to give some props to Dak. Hounding Romo is not necessary and bs

Part of what made Romo great was his refusal to give up on play but it was a 2 edged sword that many times ended up in horrible disappointment as he got older and his body failed that refusal ended his career

no he has not performed way above Romo . Both have good stats behind elite OL/WR . Dak probably has better RB play . But no significant playoff wins .
In fact romo had probably more games where he lead the team back and clinched wins . in Dak’s case , it is mostly garbage time yards and no comeback I can recall when the running game stalls and the team needs him .
Dak is a tier 2 QB , and that is not my opinion alone . Players and experts rank him between 10-15 .
I don’t buy that the never intended to get Dak on a long term contract so it’s only a “prove it year” because that didn’t happen. Even so, they aren’t paying him almost $32 million to Boyle give him every chance to “prove it”. Yes, Dalton is a different level QB than Rush, but that doesn’t mean he was bright in to compete with Dak. Circumstances just allowed a strong backup at a good price[/QUOTE]
Dak is still considered an asset indeed ,and jerry would like to give him every chance to succeed as jerry and stephen picked him , So there is no way they will low ball him. Jerry values players he picked highly and will stick with them . However jerry and stephen became very irritated by his agent and by the way this negociation has gone. The lack of a deal over an argument over a contract for 4 or 5 years proves they are holding strong against his demands . This year puts pressure again on dak to perform and if he does not , give the front office leverage to trade him or let him walk .

Exciting stuff.

I think the uncertainty of the coming season may have played a role in things breaking down too, but yes, the result is Dak will have to play well to get the contract negotiation going the direction he wants next year

And this idea about Dak is absurd. The guy has done completely idiotic stuff partying with Zeke. Cut the garbage analogies trying to harp on Cabo as of Dak wasn’t getting jumped while partying or got caught drunk driving. Marketing has painted Dak in a positive light ever since he stepped on the field while Romo was constantly trashed. No need for false narrative to grasp at any straws to elevate Dak.

Romo being given “Peyton-like” responsibilities was actually a demand BY HIM, to be more involved in the offense and game planning and the draft picks, which led to the Fredrick pick, and primarily the lessening of Garrett’s authority over the offense, which was being protected by the Jones family. It was Romo driving the contract negotiations.

During that era, the media was doing everything in its power to push this Garrett, Landry image and looking for excuses for how bad he was.

We wasted a tight SB widow and a good four years for ‘training’ Dak and year 4, they finally started celebrating his ability to hit wide open WRs in summer OTAs.

I would guess the size of a standard football field. I'm sure it wasn't cheap, but it's just the field, not a stadium, so well within the budget of a guy making almost $32 million this season.

I hope its to CFL scale........it will be his workplace in the near future.

That may be the case. I don't think any one of us really knows how much Romo partied or went out but when every turn you see him with a celeb of some sort......whether it was intentional or not he was constantly in the media. Once again, not saying that as a knock on him but I can understand where the poster is coming from with what he said.

People love to believe the hype. It took one week for him to find the end-zone in training camp in 2018 in his Dak-friendly offense and he’s celebrated. It took four years for Dak to start hitting open WRs in practice and it was celebrated. Now he has a football field in his back-yard, and it’s celebrated.

So should he be knocked for doing it? Or should we all do what you do? Explain.

Hahaha this is so full of it. Dak has been painted in a positive light? What the hell were they suppose to do treat him like he's Zeke? Romo didn't face scrutiny until he started choking in prime time moments......

Should he be celebrated for being mediocre for four years? Dak isn’t inviting you over to play..

Can’t wait for you to call me a liar again, because you can’t read properly or you are simply living in denial..

Even Jerry knows that Dak has been in-training, like Garrett was. I wonder what Jerry was saying after they released Dez and Dak was setting records in QC futility before they had to go and get Cooper that 2018 season.

Totally irrelevant nonsense that side-steps the actual point, as always. Dak drove drunk, Dak was partying with Zeke carrying around “water guns”, Dak got beat up, while getting jumped, Dak had his brothers and boys complain about his contract.. Dak didn’t lock up his pit bulls that ended up biting his neighbors. You posted a video of Dak and Zeke hugging each other Half naked while not maintaining social distancing, but it was just a “dinner”...

But Romo went to Cabo... Dak practices hard and Romo doesn’t.. sure, can’t hit wide open receivers for 4 years, but he’s got a football field in his back yard..

Damn....that's quite a bit property (LOL) for a house. I'm guessing a min 5-10 acres......





At one time Aikman and Terry Bradshaw were next door neighbors and they each had 15-20 acre properties. In fact when there was a fire at Aikman's house he stayed at Bradshaw's house
