Would Romo have us at 5-0?

Its like asking if you prefer 4th year Dak Prescott or 9th year Dak Prescott, obviously you prefer the more seasoned player.

Romo's 2014 season was his 9th year starting! In a vacuum, its a no brainer that I would want 2014 Romo at the helm. Experience will be great for Prescott, as he has shown he can be a gunslinger. Romo had high interception years and learned to be more careful, but at the same time efficient. Thing is, he was a gunslinger since the start. I fully expect Dak to continue to progress, hopefully he accomplishes more than Romo, he only needs one more playoff win to match him.

Let me just add to this discussion, “letting it rip” is what we want from Dak. I accept him throwing more picks if it results in more big plays and more touchdowns.

Also, for both Dak and Romo alike, let’s all remember that a lot of these picks are thrown when the team is down in the game, in obvious passing situations, trying to get back into it.

Nothing kills me more than a quarterback down 21-10 with 3 minutes left and he’s dumping the ball out to the safety valve for 4 yards.

Yep Mahomes really overcame the pass rush last week..... Guys aren't winning every game or playing perfect games week in and week out so stop acting like they do. Perhaps you only watch highlights of those guys and not actually game film

He did, until he screwed up his ankle again. Can't really compare Dak and Mahomes... it is an insult to Mahomes in every way possible.

I would take that kid over every currently active QB in the NFL lol.

With Romo we absolutely beat the Saints probably convincingly

with the Packers it's tough to say but I can tell you I think their defense certainly would have played us differently with him under center rather than Prescott

At the end of the day though these discussions really don't bear any merit. And I say that not because I don't like Romo, candidly you'll probably not find a bigger fan of his than me

But the reality is the team made their decision back in 2016 and Romo is not coming back so there is probably not much use having this discussion anyways. I didn't agree with the decision then and I still hate the way it was done, but it is what it is and we need to focus on the here and now

I will say this team is way too talented offensively to have looked as bad as they did against New Orleans and Green Bay

Taking Romo completely out of the equation, I still think you could make a strong argument that legitimate defenses do not fear our passing game the way they should, given the amount of weapons we have at the receiver and tight end position

I'm not saying Dak is better but what I'm saying is not a single QB is perfect. That includes Mahomes

Is Romo going to stop the Zeke and Witten fumbles? Some of you guys like to speculate and try and use it as fact. Here are the facts, you have no clue if Romo would have beat the Saints 2 weeks ago. Y'all act like Romo didn't lose to teams he shouldn't have and that's just plain false. Y'all act like Romo was so perfect and would have won all kinds of games but facts are here wasn't and he didn't. Here is another fact, Dak has never had a losing season since entering the league so go ahead and live in your fantasy world while the rest of us live in reality but don't try and make your fantasies a fact.

This is stupid and blind infatuation. Romo had TO, Terry Glenn, Witten and Barber. That’s nothing to work with? Really ????

"No one left to throw to *in the fourth*"

Barber and TO were out of gas by the fourth. I don't think TO was even on the field for the fourth. It was rather miraculous he played at all with the high ankle sprain. Glenn was simply broken and never played another down in the NFL.

Witten was there, and Crayton was there screwing up two huge plays. Is that supposed to be a receiving corps? Witten and screwing up Crayton?

Stupid and blind? So much projection.

Daks 301 yards and 3 TDs was against GB in the playoffs. You have no clue what you are talking about, so how about you admit you were wrong and move on.

I was referring to QB rating in the playoffs, not yardage.

Dak's best playoff game was his 103.2 GB in 2016. Both of Romo's playoff games in 2014 were higher, the GB game 40 points higher.

He carried us for 10 years. Towards the end the team realized that QB's don't win SB's by themselves. No QB ever has...took the front office 12 years to figure it out. Then Dak got handed that team and here we are.
He carried us to 8-8 and 2 WC wins. Yea....

Did we win the Game with Romo tho? That’s the ultimate statistic.

But wait!!! Isn’t this the best regular season team Romo played on tho? Now they all weren’t good enough? Wasn’t there about a dozen Pro Bowlers on that team? Please stop with the BS excuses. Romo was not as great as you all pretend he was. If so we’d have at least 2 rings. Because as you all put it “He Carried Us”.. Right??? SMDH
You actually sound like a suburban parent who makes excuses for his child shooting up a school. (Little Johnny is socially inept and was constantly ridiculed)... Stop the BS please and step into reality.

Game is on YouTube. I am watching the first drive of the 4th quarter now. Dak would be roasted for how Romo is playing this drive. Had Owens on deep ball but it was underthrown allowing for defender to knock it way, threw a bad pass to Crayton that Crayton made a great catch to prevent interception, and took a bad sack escaping from pressure instead of throwing ball away. Miles Austin was wide open deep down the field but Romo couldn’t get ball off. Missed Terry Glenn on 3rd down while throwing off his back foot.

Yep. And Romo has a losing season every time we had a first place schedule. But yea. He consistently beat the good teams. These damn clowns are sickening.

And you know this how?
With Romo in 2014 which many of you claim was his best season we lost to a struggling 49ers team whom we should have clobbered. What’s the excuse for that?

Next drive isn’t any better. Took another bad sack. Got an intentional grounding penalty. Wasted a timeout. Missed Owens deep yet again. Owens was definitely not out of gas. Announcers are also saying the 4th quarter was the first time the Giants got consistent pressure. Romo was relatively untouched until then so this vaunted defensive line wasn’t much of a factor. Romo was frustrated with the pressure.

I remember that game. That was the first time I was really disappointed with Romo. He did not play that great.
