fracking nonsense air Corea. greatest show on turf, all the 3 wr sets the boyz ran and around the NFL i mean the original 88 averaged 20 YPC and the hail Mary was invented and some big time numbers puit up by Irving as well.. era excuse is for trolls

so when players in this passing era have 200k yards rushing, what's that? wrong era i guess.. explain the rookie season zeke had running and his first 3 years in this alleged pass era.. Elway, Farve and many other, how about Jim Kelly and that offense the air Mcnair run and shoot days, they didn't pass a lot?

You're cherry picking.
Plus, we are talking QB numbers, not WR numbers.
With usually 2 main WRs in the older era, individual WR numbers were not (normally) split as often amoung 4-5 WRs as they are today.

Plus, everyone knows league rules now radically favor QBs and WRs.
That is not a diss on todays top QBs, its just fact

Just plot passer ratings over the last 30 years and look at the steady rise like clockwork.

Am not saying there are not exceptions…..talking averages and trends

Both Romo and Dak would win multiple SB's with either Rogers team or Aikmans team.

Neither Roger or Aikman wins one SB with the teams and coaches that either Dak and Romo had. NONE!!!

Romo would have easily been the king of America's team winging the ball on Rogers Team.

Dak easily leads Aikmans teams to SB's.

Im talking averages, passing numbers and volume, thats all.

I too don’t think Airman or Rodger would've won a Super Bowl in Dallas with the same coaches and rosters Romo and Dak

LLLOOOLLL

All good players, and they all have my respect. Danny and Tony were studs.....didn't get their due Because Roger set the bar very high. Dak is really good ...hope he gets us a ring

True with Roger, but Aikman they were passing plenty in the NFL. Aikman just handed the ball off most of the time.

An occasional 3rd 3 on a play action slant to irvin or curl to novacek.

Aikman for all his accolades and love was a bus driver. Probably one of the best if not the best.................but thats what he was in that offense.

Romo probably wins one, but thats it. He was bad at managing the game.

Got dog it, I loved me some Romo. The spin on JJ Watt was about as hyped as I get. Suck it Texan fans.

Me too! I hate Jerry for failing to bring Romo to the promiseland.

"but SlammedZero, he had his chances!"

Yeah, with Jason friggin' Garrett as his offensive "leader" his entire career.

CowboyRoy said:

QB's dont win SB's, teams do.

Those that understand football and QB play like both Romo and Dak.

There is no way Romo could have ever won one with the one way talent and horrid coaching that he had. Dak appears to be suffering a similar fate as did many great Cowboys over the last 16 years.

No, you said it. I find they are some of the most clueless fans in the NFL.

Its like they literally think Aikman just willed the Cowboys to victory all by himself.

Yeah most of the haters never experienced the Carter, Hutchinson and Henson era.

Low point for sure
3 seasons at 5 and 11 oh boy.

CWR said:

Lol Dak will be number one in a few years, and be hated by many.

What if he wins a SB?? Daks chapter is still being written..

Those rosters were complete garbage, not like the one we had since Dak has been QB. Dak would have Chad Hutchinson on those rosters.

no im not there were high flying passing attacks back in old era and there are big time Rbs in this era it doesn't matter i say you are creating a narrative to downgrade qbs you happen to not like or respect..I say put romo or dak on those 90s teams instead of troy im betting not much changed. Put zeke instead of Emmitt on the exact team out side that one change not much changes they were GREAT teams with Great coaches in an era where FA and the cap were very different. we have very talented individual players over the last 15 years here that are being downgraded over team flaws..

the team let us down against the 9ers not dak im sorry but not many individual players can make up for their team having 14 penalties and bad play calling and no run game..i already showed it what happened to troy and the boyz when they made the mistakes against the 9ers and got down 21-0 and lost ..huh what happened i guess troy and Emmitt sucked ,blew that one huh??

or was it something else?? i mean how come defense couldn't stop those turnover drives or hold them to 3 vs 7 i mean isnt that the narrative no matter what happens with the offense putting a defense on short fields the defense should stop them? oh wait they all get pass but our current teams do not..lmao you call it excuses real fans with common sense call it facts.

that old 90s team lost over mistakes in that 9er game just like Dak and this team couldn't overcome all those mistakes in that 9er game..

Romo’s elusiveness in the pocket was fun to watch. What made it even better was his ability to keep his eyes down field and come up with a great throw.

Aikman was not just a bus driver. Even John Madden said Aikman was the most accurate QB ever.

He was accurate, but much less so without a clean pocket

I rank Dak’s accomplishments right there with Romo’s. In this era, each franchise QB going forward is likely to eclipse the records of his predecessor’s if he has the same number of years as a starter. Dak currently has the 8th best QB rating in the entire history of the NFL.

But outside of the stupid arguments with fans who want to argue ridiculous negative opinions about Dak when no one in or covering the NFL agrees, it just doesn’t matter. Blame it on Jerry or the coaches or the OL or the defense. Blame it on whatever you want. Romo’s stats are meaningless because he never won anything, didn’t even get to play in a meaningful playoff game, despite playing with plenty of HOF guys.
The same is true of Dak. I love Dak, but if he never even plays in a conference title game, you can blame whatever you want, his stats will mean nothing. QBs are held to a much higher standard than other players. Stats are not enough.

I hear you. AND I AGREE!!! IF Dak doesn't play in a meaningful game, his stats will be called meaningless. Only thing is Dak 's story is yet to be written. It's only half done , if that. I would say Dak has played in meaningful games. The Packers playoff game and the Los Angeles playoff game. Romo played in the "Catch" game. A game where he couldn't have done one more thing to win. He got robbed by the refs. Sucks but Tony played and played well and the game was meaningful.
I think the whole never won the Super Bowl is a huge Red Herring argument when stating a players worth as a player. Dan Marino , Dan Fouts and Fran Tarkenton just to name a few, never won the Super Bowl. I know I know, we 're the Dallas Cowboys Blah Blah Blah....... Yeah right !!!! Tony Romo was a Great QB. Period those opinions of him stating other wise are just that OPINIONS. You welcomed to have them but....... yea well you get it. Dak Prescott is a great QB only thing is will he be able to put it together and Qb the team during a Super Bowl run. As a Cowboys fan, I betting on my guy

When a thread is created here about Cowboy quarterbacks no one ever mentions Don Meredith. He was better than most people realize. He was the NFL player of the year in 1966. Drafted in 1960 he played on some really bad teams in the early 60's and got beat up a lot. He got the team to the NFL championship game (pre Superbowl) in 1966 and 1967 losing both time to an absolutely great Packer team. The second game was the infamous ice bowl. Both games went down to the final play. People scoff at his low by comparison 17000 total passing yard but when he played it was 12 game seasons AND teams did not throw the football as much. Not the greatest or best Cowboy QB but certainly worthy of a nice mention in any discussion of our QBs.

Romo started for 10 seasons, accumulated so many passing yards and TDs, and became the Cowboys passing leader in both categories.

Dak has played in 5.25 seasons. If he stays healthy and continues improving, Dak is on pace to shatter Romo's franchise records in another 5 seasons.

Two seasons ago (2020), Dak was on pace to pass for 6,600+ yards and obliterate Peyton Manning's NFL single season passing record of 5,400 yards. Instead, Dak only passed for 1,800+ yards due to his leg injury early that season. That's 4,800 yards Dak left on the field due to injury. Add that to Dak's current 22,083 passing yards accumulated, Dak would have had at least 26,800+ passing yards only 6 seasons played and easily on pace to shatter Romo's franchise record 34,183 passing yards.

But Dak can't pass, can't read Defenses, and he sucks!
