Hyperbole is your friend, obviously.

I liked Romo from the beginning once I saw him change Parcells play and ran a QB sneak to win a come from behind preseason game. I liked Dak from the beginning when he played so well in the preseason and then came in for an injured Tony and won Rookie of the Year. Neither QB have the elite talent, arm strength, speed and overall size but what they do have, and is more important than any of the others, is the competiveness desire to win and the intense desire to improve. Idiot fans who hated either one or both just get their take from the talking heads who only see snippets of games. Romo was a FA and Dak a 4th round pick so those idiots have a preconceived opinion based on that. Once they start hating, they aren’t man enough to admit they are wrong so double down. It’s really pathetic to see and read here every single day. But it is enlightening.

I know this was for someone else, but

Trick question.
You're counting the years he didn't even play, right?
Sneaky

First 64 games started would be a better comp.
But even then, different teams and even somewhat different eras a decade apart.

Both did well

Is Romo not developing by sitting and learning compared to be thrown in as a rookie.

However I do agree with you that you have different players and different coaches. Personally I think Romo and Dak are both very good QBs and I have defended both.

And I already told you how it was worse for Romo.

I have already told you how it isn't worst. You are wrong and incorrect due to you hating Dak so that doesn't fit your agenda. Too much bias when you talk about Romo compared to Dak.

Nobody is saying Romo was treated fairly, the question is who was treated more unfairly and without a doubt it's Dak. You're wrong, like so many other times when it comes to Dak.

I don't know. When Romo was our quarterback and I was wearing Cowboys gear, I had casual fans and even non-fans come up and repeat the talking heads' message that Romo was a choker. I haven't had anyone do anything similar with Dak.

Just from recollection on this message board, I'd say there are about as many here vehemently opposed to Prescott as there was to Romo.

I remember going through this when Romo was QB. A lot liked him and was happy to have him as our franchise QB and a lot hated him because he had “those games”.

When Romo got paid so many acted like it was the end of the world because he got blockbuster deals and was locked in as our QB.

Now we are going through this with Dak and some acting like he is going to get over paid and is average, no matter what the stats say.

Do you think there is more or less or about the same amount of haters and lovers for Dak that there was for Romo. And why do you think this is a different situation.

I like them both support our players especially our homes grown talent, however I was much more comfortable at the exact stage sof their careers ie year 4 of them starting in Romo..a healthy romo with a strong run game was a better option IMO..dont as me why go read my content but IMO Romo was attach better qb to me..

but yes I belive its about the same just different fans those who hated romo luv dak those that Luv romo hate dak..im no hater but my choice is Romo , the healthy one..

Its not even close, Romo was called a choker because he didn't win many big games especially when it comes to elimination games. That's not unfair. Meanwhile go listen to what people say about Dak, every pass he throws is criticized and some have even said they rather have Rush over Dak.

Folks saying Romo was more criticized than Dak are wrong and it's not even close

old choker dak doesn't get any respect, just new excuses.

Dak vs Romo really doesn’t matter.

When a former perennial champ-contending team hasn’t sniffed a SB in 24 (!!?!) years, and QB is the most important and most under-the-microscope position on the team...guess where the hate’s going, folks.

thats easy Zeke got paid=Hate Tank got paid =Hate JS got paid=hate LC got paid , move him to guard again lmao.

so when Dak gets paid =hate..fans somehow attach $$$$ as iif it were theres and take it personnel..

so its not always the QB here its the next one who got overpaid in their minds..Zeke, Tank, JS, all 2019 scapegoats..

[Bold] I somewhat agree but not entirely. Human experience is shaped over time by personal perspective.

There are lots of perspectives for team sports and football in particular. Certain perspectives place more emphasis upon individual play than team play unnecessarily and unwarranted. These particular perspectives may be media rhetoric as well but they have already been adopted by some as true and unchangeable.

As far as the thread question is concerned, you are correct concerning the dislike for Romo being exponentially larger than for Prescott. Romo is years removed his active playing career. Even so, he still triggers extreme negativity.

Examples. Romo made an accurate comparative observation of a current player making a business like decision tackling like Deion Sanders was well-known for. Blowback was well outside the norm. Romo continues playing golf and gains some media recognition for it occasionally. Each associated discussion attracts the exact same personal slights, insults, and/or cynical flashbacks to when he played football. Etc.

A jaundiced auto-reaction for Romo remains fully alive to this day. What 'fuels' such disdain having zero to do with playing for the Dallas Cowboys and in the NFL? That answer may be hard to pin down as a simple explanation but it completely illustrates the comparative margin of disfavor for both men in crystal clear clarity.

OK, I see what category you fall into, so there's no sense debating you on this.

However I do agree with you that you have different players and different coaches. Personally I think Romo and Dak are both very good QBs and I have defended both.

3rd stringers don't even get practice reps during the season...or very very few. But in the preseason they do get reps, so it helped being there.
Fwiw, it helped Dak to play in the SEC vs real competition in college.

Anyway, even if we look at both QBs first 64 games, the results-- both individual and team results--are strikingly similar.
Romo threw for more yards and TDs, but Dak had less picks and about the same QB rating (96-97 range)....though I'd say a 96 rating 10 years ago = about a 105 now. A 97 then would be near the top while now it's maybe top 10-14 range.

Either way, both have/had put up good numbers
and ironically, Dallas won about 40 games under both in their first 64 starts.

We know you're not bright enough to ever formulate a coherent argument, so you call people fanboys. There is nothing you can add, you're just not a bright dude. Know your place.

More or less haters. Dak vs Romo

Offseason mode... sleepy time
