Does anyone think Dak is better than Romo was?

Prescott didn't choke on the last play yesterday?

no he tried to get them down and the ref was very late to get back to the line and set..its no ones fault really on that play they tried, and time ran out.

He didn't get all that money cause he got hurt. You have to look at the guaranteed money that he got.

Yet he still didn't settle for some cheap contract signing. Even though some are lambasting Dak for not settling for a cheaper contract. Yet overlook the fact that Romo's contract wasn't exactly what I would call "cheap."

Sorry, most posters do not understand how important it is for a QB to read and understand what the defense is doing. Dak has no idea and it seems like he should study game film! Look at Tom, Peyton, Drew, etc.. ! Tony was great at this and knows where to go with the ball, he mentioned it 7 times yesterday and Dak holds the ball and you guys know the rest. Kill, kill, kill...then hands it off for no gain to Zeke, It really is comical if you guys watch when the opposing D schemes, Dak panics and has no idea!!

The only facts that matter is that Jerry loves him some bargain QB's, then brags when he pays them hundreds of millions. Jerry is the best "wildcatter" in the business. He just doesn't know much about football. His family will own this franchise for decades to come. Maybe it's time to root for the Washington "Hogs".

I was livid when Romo wasn't even given a chance to compete in 16 and basically tossed to the curb like yesterday's trash. I mean Romo had his bad games. But to me,Tony was definitely a smarter QB as well as a better passer. Seemed to make lesser WRs better. Dak should be all world with this talent and he's not. He's an average QB propped up by the talent of the roster. Give him lesser receivers he's below average.

That is one pretentious username you have there.

Anyone who stopped and paid attention to the giddiness seen in Jerry Jones' eyes during the month of October 2016 should have known the quarterback torch had been passed in his mind. They should have also started then preparing themselves for an eventual huge franchise quarterback contract to come but I digress.

The team's long-term future had been decided. Romo knew it. Prescott earned his opportunity for 2017 and beyond. My only dissatisfaction is held against Jerry Jones and Jason Garrett deciding a rookie quarterback would do what no other rookie quarterback has ever done--help lead his team to a Super Bowl appearance or victory--when they had a capable, playoff experienced, veteran quarterback on the roster.

Super Bowl opportunities are fleeting. A Romo-led offense may have had a 0.01% chance of helping the team reach or win it all in the 2016 playoffs. It was and may well forever remain better odds in the NFL.

They are the same.

Debating over which mediocre QB is better.

Dak can't even get to the point of choking. 3 and out on the final drive of games is his M.O.

Yes, so many times he shoulda checked out of runs yet has no idea. Tony would slant you to death!!!!!!!!!!!

And if the Cowboys still failed to get to the Super Bowl with Romo, with Dak's teams. Some could always still attempt to play revisionist history and claim that Romo had no help or talent around him on the 2016-2021 rosters. Just like many pretend like he didn't have help or talent on the 2007 and 2014 rosters. While constantly downplaying the teams Romo had. But then accusing Dak supporters of making excuses when Dak fails to get the job done.

Never had a defense like this.

Why don't you guys get it when it was said so on live TV. Dak Messed up there. He should've handed ball to the ref. That was Dak's fault not the ref's. This was Dak's moment that is comparable to Romo's Seattle moment or McNabbs don't know you can tie a game moment. We lost all hope there because of Dak.

In 2013 Romo received a 103 million dollar contract, which at that time made him the highest paid player in team history and essentially gave him a 7 year 119,5 million dollar salary through 2019. And this was Romo getting paid, even after he started to get injury prone. So it's not like he signed a super cheap contract.

Highest paid in TEAM history, not the league, yet it opened up salary cap room to sign more players. The Cowboys came to him to restructure, not the other way around. It was a six year deal, 52 million in guarantees for basically a 7 year contract while Dak’s guarantees was 120 million over 4 years.

Also, unlike Dak, Romo had all the leverage in the world, because he could have waited and hit the free agency market. Jerry Jones promised him more power in game planning, thus the “Peyton Manning”-like responsibilities.

It’s not even close.. injury prone? He played two 16 game seasons in a row when he got that contract. He then played two 15 games on a row.

Dak-defenders just completely live on historical fantasies, trying so hard now to use the valid excuses for Romo for their own mediocre QB.

That 2007 roster was wildly over-rated and Romo was masking the warts, which is why the offense tailed off to end the year. Romo was performing at a historically unprecedented level on third down, with that Dallas offense posting the absolute worst third and long situations of any team in the league. Guys like Julius Jones running into the back of OL didn’t help, along with the fact, that like with the Giants, Jason Garrett couldn’t field a RG to save his life. They basically ran one QB draw play.

When it comes to reading defenses and arm talent, Romo was way better than Dak.

People don't want to admit that Romo (while he had his flaws....and he had them) dragged a bunch of 4-12 teams (talent wise from 2011-2013) to 8-8 and kept us relevent all season, where as Dak generally needs everything around him to be perfect to win. I can honestly say that for the most part i never felt out of a football game when Romo was our QB...i always felt we could win, i feel the exact opposite with Dak. Romo made us better Dak doesn't

2014 Romo definitely had help, which is why he was arguably the best QB in the league. Which explains why 2016 was an even more idiotic decision, because by that time, Smith, Martin, Free and Frederick played together for a minimum of two years together and Zeke came onto the scene with home-run hitting ability.

And he could get the ball to Dez and TWill, unlike Dak.

what ref ? hes was far to late to hand it to him he was trailing

sorry but that on the ref for not understanding he should have ran with the players on that play and got there faster and then not bowl the qb over after arriving late.

I dont need anyone to explain what happened its equal blame..play call was risky, ref trailing late to get back, and just bad luck no time left. The issues were all game not the last drive.that was hail mary play but..

the offensive line, both with the execution and penalties cost us the game ..ill paste and cut this on all threads looking for answers. they torpedoed so many drives i lost count.

all those plays all game before that especially on the drive before and after halftime is on dak?> the sunlight the OL mistakes being behind the chains. I mean its blatantly obvious to actual fans to why we lost the game

the OL that's if. Other penalty's come in 2nd like pre-snap on the DL what 3 of them?

real fans who aren't emotional right now see why we lost...mistakes on the lines you win and lose in the trenches, and it cost us on both sides.

tony romo was the much better qb and its not even close

Well I can easily answer this question. Dak is a better quarterback than Romo, period. He TOOK Romo's job, fair and square. Romo had good games but he was a choke artist and fragile. Part of a good quarterback's ability is AVAILABILITY!!!

Steven A. Smith is our biggest hater, but even HE said that Dak was a better quarterback than Romo. Like I said, Dak took his job, end of story.

That's what Romo fans can say. But where's the guarantee that some wouldn't suddenly turn around and downplay the defenses talent and the talent of the 2016-2021 roster, since that is what Romo defenders, have done in order to explain away why the team couldn't win a Super Bowl with Romo as the QB. (With the teams that Romo had)

What difference does it make. I’ve seen Romo make incredible plays with his arm, and I’ve seen him throw some of the dumbest passes I’ve ever seen. He always had great offensive talent around him and won nothing, little to no success in the playoffs, even with the #1 seed.

I’ve seen Dak make some incredible throws and a couple of them came last night, but overall, he struggled and missed things last night. All players seem to do better in the second year after major injuries, so I’m not giving up on Dak yet, but until he gets to the NFC title game, he is Romo. No significant difference. Neither has had a great defense, though I’m hoping this one will improve and someday be able to stop the run game. Romo had a questionable OL early and a good one later. Dak’s OL seems to be moving in the opposite direction.

Romo isn't here anymore, and if he were playing today, he likely wouldn't have helped either because he would be too old and too fragile.
