Both of them are/we’re clutch and both are/were good quarterbacks, generally. I do believe however that Dak seems to have the better ability to lead. He’s a born leader and the players clearly like to play for and with him. The bottom line is, there is no law saying they both can’t be clutch etc.

And what are the excuses for Zeke? He had 7 TD's last year. I guess he needs all pros around him?
Led the league in rushing 1434 , 4.7 yd avg, 77 catches 547 yds, 3 TDs, all this behind the OL that you say is just terrible, guess he really makes the players around him better. Hard to score touchdowns from the 10 running it every down. No one is making any excuses for Zeke he doesn't need them like some one else does.

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!!!!
How did that game end?

Typical. Can't address what was said.

Yes there are Romo fanboys (pathetic strawman is all you have). Yes people will still defend him when he's attacked. That will be true 30 years from now. That's usually what happens when people say stupid things...someone will point our their stupidity.

Now stop lying.
So when you guys say something stupid about Dak which is 99% of the time you shouldn’t be called out on it? And what do you mean about lying? Lying about what?

Is Aaron Rodgers clutch because he has comeback drives against bad teams but is like 2-36 against teams with winning records?

This is my problem with "clutch" - the quality of opponent matters here. You don't get to the Super Bowl being clutch against crappy teams. Why do you think Rodgers has one ring? Because when he needed to be clutch against teams like the Giants, 49ers, Falcons, Seahawks...he failed. The year he won a Super Bowl, he had a comfortable lead against each team outside of the Eagles when Vick choked late game.
The year Rodgers won the Superbowl was one of two seasons that he had a semi good defense.
Tom Brady has thrown a heap of awful throws in Superbowls and big play off games but because his defense over the years has got him the ball back on so many more occasions he eventually makes the plays to win the game as he is a great QB.
How many years did Romo have a genuinely good defense?
We have had a good defense pretty much every season Prescott has been our QB.
Defense matters.

For the record, I think the Packers will have a good defense this season (bar injuries) so he won't have any excuses to not have a strong season.

How is that biased lol? So I don't cheer for ex-Cowboys to do well in other destinations lol? You keep bringing it up as if its a point you're making lol.

That is bias, by definition.

Bias: prejudice in favor of or against one thing, person, or group compared with another, usually in a way considered to be unfair.

If you, just because the player is no longer on the team, outright state that player "sucks" because he's not in a Cowboys uniform it is bias. This automatically kills your credibility.

You were one of the people pumping your chest for Romo, and now since he's no longer on the team, YOU ARE USING ARGUMENTS YOU USED TO GO AGAINST!

....do you not see how dumb this is? This is toxic homerism.

hmm, care to elaborate?

How about that no one would say Dak is "incredibly accurate"? Also this whole "less mistake prone" - Dak is ultra conservative, which is why he doesn't have a high amount of TD throws either. His conservative playstyle impacts both TD and INTs, which is why he's like an Alex Smith.

So since you know what biased means tell me what is it when you can’t let a player go and love him so much that you believe he has no flaws and was a top 5 in the game.....so let me guess your biased doesn’t come into play in Romo related debates?

And yeah Romo is gone. I’ve moved on and you should too. He brought us nothing.

Not really fair, Romo has had some pretty clutch moments with some pretty terrible defenses that Prescott hasn't even come close to having. I mean the defense was pretty good last season and we have people here still talking down on them, because we see what happens the rare times they did struggle.

Go back and read my post that you initially deflected from and whined and brought up a strawman about Romo fanboys. You know what you're lying about. The same thing you always lie about. Every. Single. Time.

Amazing that we won that game. Man, the bills sucked.

I supported Romo to some of the ugly nonsense said, but he couldn't get over the hump. He was clutch at times, but in my opinion not often enough. And he did his fair share of heartbreaking game enders. I haven't seen that yet from Prescott. He certainly needs to improve, but he plays solid in big games. He just needs guys around him to play well, like most QBs.
