Does anyone think Dak is better than Romo was?

Tony was superior — at reading defenses, accuracy, and releasing the ball. He made no name receivers named Copper, Austin, and Robinson better, and very good receivers whose route running was subpar, i.e., Dez, stay that way. I can’t imagine what he could do when healthy with a good team like this around him and a great route runner like Coop.

When he had an elite, old but still playing pretty elite, WR in Owens he put up gaudy stats. Over those 3 seasons he put up 3587 yards on 235 catches with 38 TDs. And as you mentioned look at Dezs stats with him vs Dak or Williams stats. Look what he did with Miles Austin before his Hammies blew out. Laurent Robinson, Patrick Crayton. The guy was a much better passer and it’s not even close.

Dak has the better tandem of receivers. Romo had the better #1 at times but then who was #2?

I honestly don’t think Dez was as good as he was made to look. He never learned how to run routes well and got by on athleticism and great ball placement. I think he needed a QB the caliber of Romo or he was never going to be close to the level he played. A 33 year old Owens was the best WR Romo played with.

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.

HELLS BELLS I think Romo is head and shoulders better than Prescot. .................CASE CLOSED! Tony is Mr Football who had some talent around him, but it was nothing compared to what Prescot has and could do nothing with. Prescot proved again that he CAN'T BEAT THE BETTER TEAMS IN THIS LEAGUE!!!!!!!!!! His stats come from beating mediocre teams or when his team is losing so bad that their opponent goes into their prevent defense early in a game and let's Prescot get his little 10-15 yd outs to rack up those yds and cheap nothing points to make scores look close. One more thing, I can't remember any game where I didn't think the Boys had a chance to win with Romo under center, but with Prescot, not the case I called it ONE and DONE after the 9ers disposed of the Rams last weekend.

Romo was a slight step below Rodgers and Brady, the problem with Romo was his back gave out, and Jerry knowing he had a bad back re-signs him. And Dak to me a step behind Romo. I don’t want any stats, Dak has the superior offensive talent that Romo never had.

Your argument does zero in relation to the point, which is Romo MASKED how over-rated we were.

1. Julius Jones was our starter in 2007.. man rushed for 588 yards at 3.6 YPC in 16 games. His longest was a 25 yarder. He had 1 1000 yard rushing season in his career. It was Marion Barber as a second string back that took advantage of the deep coverages on second and long and he never could reproduce at that level as a starter. We were still 21st in attempts, 17 in yards and 10 on YPC.

2. Our OL reputation starter in Romo’s career, because it was Romo that carried these over-rates OL. Gurode and guys like Kosier were never on the map until Romo. Rivera when he came to Dallas had a bad back. Holland was a journeyman and so was Columbo. Leonard Davis was considere a bust for years in Arizona and so on. Our only legislate OL that was considered really good was Flozell Adam’s period.. the OL was considered Dallas weakest link until Bledsoe got benched. When Flozell went down in like 2005, the OL gave up like 40 plus sacks in 10 games. This included guys like Gurode. 2012, Hudson Houck was given a graceful retirement and we were horrible outside Tyron Smith and we lucked into Callahan who completely revamped our blocking schemes and our RG.

NONE of these guys carved any niche outside the shadow of Romo.

And Zeke was drafted for Romo, not Dak, after Murray left, even though Romo lobbied for Jerry to sign Murray. And I’m not even sure why you keep bringing up 2014, because everybody acknowledges that was Romo’s best roster, meaning that late in his career and he was the guy involved in game planning meetings and Garrett out the way. Romo had to force it via his contract in 2013 to be given power over Garrett, who lost any influence in 2014. Which is why, Romo was arguably the BEST QB in the NFL. So it was completely asinine to bench Romo when he finally had this roster with Zeke and the OL consistency with at least 3 all pros for a mediocre QB experiment like Dak who profited off a talented roster that carried him to 13-3.

Dak has been surrounded by gold and stability for years. He’s just peaked and mediocre.

I love fans who are smart enough to see through the bs narratives. Also Garrett keeping Romo benched in 2016 probably had a lot of motivation from Romo essentially benching Garrett from the offensive duties. Garrett was petty ** and incredibly self serving. Not sure why he gets the great guy moniker around here.

There were a lot of the same problems with the Cowboys when Romo was the QB. We went one and done with him twice. He had his struggles late in the season on several occasions. Dak didn’t play well the second half of the season. What we saw yesterday from him is what we’ve been seeing from him since the Denver game.

I remember being one of the very few here who had zero doubt he should have got his job back when healthy. Even if you 100% believe in Dak now, he wasn’t close to ready for that moment back then. The best looking drive we had that year was the one Romo led drive. He was at the top of his game with a dominant offensive roster and earned the opportunity to see that last year through for better or worse.

That was an all-time back stabbing move. If Romo had the personality of Favre, he would have literally made it an objective to go play for another NFC East team just to give it to the Cowboys.

Would have to have won the home playoff game first to do that
Romo played great in that wildcard win the week before

In fact, the onky home playoff games we have lost at ATT are with Dak at the helm
2-0 with Romo
1-2 with Dak

People who hold 2009 against him are truly a special type. When Adams went down it was absurd how bad the beating Romo took was. Remember the Chaz Green game? Yeah it was just like that. And the crazy part is that’s the same OL people claim was really good in Romos early years.

How many points were we down. How many penalties on that drive.

A big part of why we were down was Dak. Multiple bad throws that should have been completion, holding the ball too long and taking sacks cuz he gets flustered and holds the ball, not finding open receivers because he gets flustered too easily and can't see the field. Romo always did just as good if not better with less. Romo made Dez an all pro when Dak ruined him, Romo made Austin a pro bowler, got Laurent Robinson a contract from jacksonville. If Romo had this squad he would have beat the 9ers. He was more consistent with his accuracy.....Dak has these games where hes way off for too long and we get in a big hole....and he does it too often.

Well, his last 2 playoff games he had 4 TDs and 0 turnovers, if that helps you figure things out.
Final two playoff passer ratings
  • 114.0
  • 143.6

He led the whole league in playoff passer rating in 2014 and the only incompletion in 2nd half of the game we got eliminated at GB was the overturned Dez "catch"

I take prime Romo all day every day over Dak.

Romo's biggest issue was he was tethered to Jason Garrett his entire career.

If anyone takes Dak over Romo then they don't understand football. It's as simple as that. No if buts or maybes. It is that simple.
