Who is more clutch. Tony or Dak?

MWH1967 · Jun 23, 2019

I know is a much reduced sampling size for Dak but, the arrow is pointed upward for Dak at this point for me.

What say you?

Dak

Now before I get flogged ...

Tony was clutch and he wasn’t some mistake driven QB the media will have you believe he would lead us to a game tying td or lead change and the defense would fail him over and over

Now Tony did have his bonehead moments and he failed us enough but not nearly as much as the media says

Dak on the other hand is one of the most clutch QBs in the league at this moment he could go 12/49 for 55 yards and no touchdowns but when the game is on the line I have all the confidence in the world and he also shows up during the biggest games

Until I see Dak do this in the playoffs, Dak is not "more clutch" than Romo

Hardline · Jun 23, 2019

Romo was more snake bit He played lights out all game long and one mistake would cost him the game.

Cool, now we get to enjoy all of the agenda driven viewpoints while still hearing about our QB highlights. An excellent off-season topic!

I'm a big fan of both. 2 completely different skillsets that are/were fun to watch.

Tony was very clutch. He had lots of game winning drives within the last few minutes where he scored and then the defense would give up a touchdown and they would lose.

If tony didn’t do something amazing the cowboys lost. That is why his teams failed and his body gave out.

The cowboys are built different now. It works out better this way. Dak does have nerves of steel though.

"Clutch" in my opinion, doesn't mean playing poorly until it's almost too late, then turning it on. IMO, it means having an extra gear, when the other team bears down on you. It's "Never say die.", not "Come back from the dead."

I'm only commenting on the example you gave, not saying Dak isn't or won't be clutch. I believe Romo was, but he was often facing extremely tough odds.

regular season they are pretty good when it comes playoff time neither one is very good

Well said.

Tony was better than dak right now...but Tony has never had a defense like dak so it a tough comparison.

both are great leaders and both have it...tony was a better passer and more accurate so far from what we have seen from dak

You sure about that? So which play-off losses do you blame them for. I'll give you Tony's botching the FG snap, but that wasn't as a QB.

There's a stat out that Dak killed Wentz in 4th quarter comeback, so I'd say Dak has the skillset over Tony at this time in their careers.

Remember, when Tony was in his third year he was still turning the ball over.....that Bills game he had 5!!!!

cowboyblue22 · Jun 23, 2019

since aikman walked out the door the qb play for the dallas cowboys in the playoffs has been pretty average at best when they needed to make a big play to win a game they didn't

big dog cowboy · Jun 23, 2019

Neither.

Wins in January is the criteria.

I turned that gamr off I was so mad...still can't believe they won it....

Dak isn’t clutch at all, I have no idea why people keep saying he is based on game winning drive stats they don’t understand. He’s a dink and dunk guy; the game is never on him so how exactly is he going to be clutch?
With Romo any fan of the last two decades can instantly name multiple clutch positive and negative plays because the game was always in his hands until the end of his career. Dak’s most clutch moment by far was last year’s game against the 6-10 Giants, but that was a meaningless exhibition against tons of backups and mentally checked out Giants so there was zero pressure to win. Dak isn’t clutch; his most important skill is handing off.

Are you kidding? Did you not see Romo with his elusive moves to have the defensive player miss and throw the perfect pass! Dak is getting better but NO Romo!

lets wait 10 or 12 years, at this point Zeke is the most valuable player on the team. with the players now around Dak there should be no more excuses for him in the up coming season.

I'm sorry you missed the playoffs win against Seattle...go back and watch then rethink your post
