Dak does not hold a candle to Romo in his prime. It's crazy talk to think so.

The whole Romo will throw an INT thing is seriously blown out of the water.

However Dak is no slouch and a qb who is capable of winning the big one. We(fans) should just be grateful we lucked into two incredible quarterbacks


To me 2015 Romo was prime. He stopped taking stupid chances and still able to pick apart defense. Too bad his body gave out after that.

If I had to pick one to make a game winning play, I'd take Romo. Also, Romo was more likely to make a mistake. Dak is just so conservative it drives me up a wall.

Dak isn’t a franchise QB and that’s ok. But we’ve got so much money tied up in him and Zeke who isn’t a game breaking back. And I feel like we coached not to lose tonight. Horrible all around.

Honestly it’s almost disrespectful that people continue to say Dak is better than Romo. Romo could read coverages 100 times better than Dak

Dak just has had the athletic advantage
Really? I guess you forgot how good tony could move and avoid sacks

Love Romo, but he would have thrown at least 1 pick in this game, especially with a non existent running game.

Dak has by far had the superior teams and supporting cast around him bar a year or two. Romo picked up and made alot of average players look good. Many left Dallas to go on and do nothing else. He also practically ran his own offense per ex teammates. He got tons of hate for his picks at the end of the game however it's going to happen when you carry trash defenses for the majority of your career.

Romo had what 23 or 24 comeback victories between 2006 - 2015 leading the nfl. Lead ALL quarterbacks in the 4th quarter and overtime passer rating during that span. His cowboys defense from 2010 on gave up more 30+ games besides two other teams. He gets hate with late game INT however when your defense constantly let's the opponent score at will of course INT will happen. Let's not forget quarterbacks such as Brady, Rivers and etc had more game ending plays then Romo from 2011 on. Romo also had overall good postseason stats.

In the end its a team game. We should be grateful we lucked into two very talented quarterbacks who at the end of the day are good enough to win a superbowl. But if you had to pick Dak or Romo to build around from what we have seen from them you gotta lay off the drugs if you're going with Dak.

I truly hope Dak shows off this post season and for the rest of his career closing this debate. Dak is still young and learning.

No

This game was more about defense not getting the ball back because of Kylers legs

qb has little to do with it
I believe this game was all about the offense not scoring enough points. To watch this game and blame the defense is not a fair or accurate assessment.

Was our QB tonight, is the outcome different?

He was interviewed recently where he talked about watching the 2009 playoff game against the Giants and although he had two TD’s dropped he said if his 2016 self played that game it wouldn’t have been close.

The game had slowed down for him, there wasn’t a coverage he hadn’t seen and he knew where to go with the ball. He knew how to bait defenses instead of them baiting him.

2016 Romo with these weapons and this defense would be SB favorites.

But why stop with Tony? Would Troy? Would Roger?

My answer is yes to all three.

No... he would have thrown atleast 3 ints in this game. With that said, Dak took his job for a reason.


This is straight up bs

romo wasn’t known for being an interception machine
