I don't agree. They had some good defenses but those teams were led by a dominating, ball control offense.

Absolutely
Loaded on D.

Just saying, if you combine the Oline, RB group, Reciever group.....Dak has had the table set on that side of the ball like almost no other Cowboy QB.
And its been that way almost his whole career.

It's one reason why it's hard to accurately compare.

Some had top tier consistent line play for many years, some had better defenses, some had NEITHER for several years of their career

I'm thrilled with his developement.
It's all we could hope for.

Dallas now has a real shot at it...imo

O's don't win super bowls. The passing yardage leader has never won a super bowl.

Let's hope Dak can erase that one like Emmitt erased the leading rusher "curse."

And a dominating D. The first super bowl vs the Bills was advertised as the Bills top ranked O vs the Cowboys top ranked D. And it was the D that turned that game around.

Actually because he has missed a game Dak doesn't really have a chance to be the season yardage leader so the curse is safe for one more year.

Yeah even as an expansion team they had Eddie Lebaron who while no hall of famer, was a pretty good QB to help launch a franchise. That little guy running around was perfect for a team that had no offensive to speak of. LOL!!

Morton was also not a bad QB

I completely disagree with that. Those teams were known a lot more for their offense. Those offenses had a Hall of Fame QB, RB and WR and arguably the greatest OL in NFL history. The Cowboys offense imposed their will on opponents. The defenses were real good but what everyone remembers most about those teams are the triplets and The Great Wall of Dallas.

Not sure what you mean by the remembering thing.

Dall D was #1 for the first super bowl. They were stacked even more than the O.

I believe he can, but when we get a D. I like what we're doing now, players such as Osa, Diggs, and Parsons are the type of players who are key to super bowl runs.

Staubach
Aikmam
Meredith
White
Dak
Romo

Yeah I've got him about even with Tony but that's basically ceremonial at this point. By the end of the season I fully expect him to be >Tony Romo.

And I'm legit the biggest Romo fanboy that ever lived, but Romo's best seasons were 2006, 2007, 2009 and 2014. Dak has already put together nearly that same resume (2016, 2018 and working on 2021) in less time. This season his passing is as good as Romo's was in most if his great years.

Game on the line I feel more comfortable with Dak than I ever did Romo. Romo was awesome, but I don't think he's as even keel as Dak.

The offense was more stacked. Remember Deion hadn’t arrived in Dallas yet and Charles Haley was the only feared player on that defense. The Cowboys may have been ranked number one defensively in 92 but it wasn’t a transcendent defense. The Cowboys scored 52 points in the Super Bowl and Troy Aikman was named Super Bowl MVP. The defense did score one of those TD’s and was outstanding forcing 9 turnovers but the Bills couldn’t stop our offense. The Cowboys had an all-time great OL and one of the all-time great RBs who was leading the league in rushing during most of those SB wins. We have 4 offensive players from those teams that are in the ROH and everyone of those players are in the Hall of Fame. Erik Williams would have been a Hall of Fame player had he not been injured.

Fair assessment. I happen to agree wholeheartedly. No slight on Romo but Dak seems incredibly calm under pressure.

yeah bit early, but right now I would rank him below romo, and above white.
And don meredith should be #3 below aikman

as of yet dak has not got past div round, same as romo, so really white got to champ games I think? So maybe white is above romo at #4
hard to compare guys from different eras based on anything but what they get to and win.
Roger Staubach
Troy Aikman
Don Meredith
Danny White
Tony Romo
Dak ....has to get past div round and to champ game to pass romo

It’s not too early to put him WELL in front of Danny White. Not sure why you have Romo after White.

And why does Dak have to get to an NFCCG to pass Romo? How many did Romo go to?

No comment on Meredith. I don’t want to trigger anyone.

Too early still... I think the guy has a chance to be #1, but without a super bowl he will be viewed similarly to Romo instead of the Aikman/Staubach tier.

#1??

Thats going to be tough. I see 3. Aikman Roger Dak Romo, but I still think Romo is the most talented QB weve had.

Yep

But we have many fans who much like our owner still think it was the Triplets who won those SB.

Yes, they were a big part of it but once our stout defense was dismantled the Triplets weren’t enough.

Dak has a great opportunity in coming years to elevate himself in the pecking order.

1. Staubach, Aikman, Merideth, Romo, White, Prescott

Top 3 in ROH. No argument. I could see Romo or White shifting places and I expect Dak to overtake both of them at some point.

Best of the rest.. Morton

Captain-Crash · Nov 19, 2021

if they are ranked by playoff and super bowls.. you need to put Morton up behind Aikman.

Where does Dak rank among all time Cowboy great QBs?
