I meant actually playing in the Super Bowl or NFC Championship game. Losing by a few points in the playoffs is still losing.
He came close to playing in an nfc championship game. If Patrick crayton doesn’t pull up his route in the end zone on 3rd down with seconds left against New York in 07? If dez catches it against Green Bay

The Oline didn't play great, but they were not the problem. They provided decent running lanes and time to throw. Zeke can't hit the hole quick enough and Dak holds the ball too long because he is processing defense too slowly and misses the open receivers. Offense is based on timming. If you miss the window when running lanes and receivers are open then the play will most likely not result in a positive play. Dak had plenty of chances to run, but didn't and took a sack or it resulted in a Oline penalty, which is likely to happen the more he sits in the pocket. The penalties are often a byproduct of Dak's inability to throw quickly. For example, Arizona Oline is not often penalized because Murray throws short quick passes. The Oline does not have a chance to hold like ours do.
:facepalm:

Romo was just trying to be a broadcaster...he doesn't really care or root for the Cowboys. Now that he's distanced himself from the team, he sees how far behind this team is compared to the other teams he covers every week. Aikman can be more of a homer at times but you never hear Romo talk about the Cowboys like he takes them seriously as contenders because he knows the truth.

Romo was by FAR the better quarterback. To think otherwise is complete lunacy and comical.

The people who solely blame him for all the late game int would be your small brain posters. Simply look at the bigger picture and it's remarkable what he did with the teams he had bar a year or two

2 is a couple. Several makes it seem like he’s thrown as many as Prescott has in the playoffs
With today, Dak has 3 INTs, but today's INT was not his fault. Even Romo said as much. Dak got hit by Tyron Smith's man before Dak released the pass. It caused Dak to pull the throw slightly left and off target.

Dak had a dropped pick 6 against the rams in the playoffs that he got away with. It doesn’t matter

Can you name one mistake Dak has made that was his fault? Just one?

Dak lovers are like Romo lovers. They can admit to high level statements like “everyone makes mistakes” but they always have an excuse for every specific potential mistake. It’s mind boggling.

I defended Romo as I defend Dak against baseless bashing. But it's clear both Romo and Dak aren't the type of QB that can carry a team in the playoffs without help. Both Romo and Dak's best years were when they had a good run game. The front office needs to get their heads out of their butts and make sure to address this going into every season.
They have to stop pretending Dak can do it alone and Zeke is still the guy that will provide a good run game.
