Dude that pass to Turpin was an absolute dime. He didn't need no circus catch to make that. NFL receivers make that catch 99 out of 100 times. The ball fell out of the sky right into his hands. Criticize Dak away for all the other things that went wrong in that game but that pass was great. At some point we need to ask the other guys on the team to do their jobs too. Especially the offensive line.
Once again he would have been out of bounds. He only got one foot in

Lol at Romo being above average. Above average at choking. If you can't win in the playoffs, you have a bad QB.

It's amazing how Troy Aikman gets dogged as below average and a bus driver for being a SB MVP, and one of the five best playoff QBs in history along with Bradshaw, Montana, Brady, and Mahomes.

Meanwhile, choking loser Romo is venerated as some sort of football god for doing nothing at all with any meaning to it. His biggest highlights as Cowboys QB are choking in big moments, not getting past the divisional round despite stacked teams and 1 seed easy modes, golf games, and Jessica Simpson's pink jersey.

Right?

Romo was just an average QB. Not much difference between him and Dak. Romo had a ton of trouble reading D's, so I have no idea where it got started that he was so great at it. He was a post-snap scrambler who was very good at scrambling around until someone broke open.

Well, here's this...

MBreezy: Is Dak Prescott Really This Bad?


Thanks brother, I'm gonna set aside a few minutes to watch this today before I comment more extensively. Scanning through it though, I only saw a few plays. I'm waiting for someone to break down the all 22 for each pass.

I was always in the middle with extending Dak. That said I suspect everyone is dropping back, we aren't separating because of it, and he's compounding things by then making bad decisions.

Its all a symptom of no running game and bad defense. Everyone is playing a role in our over sucking.

I guess my point is, that if you stuck any other Top 10 NFL QB (other than Mahomes, Josh Allen, or Lamar Jackson) into our team, with all of it's deficiencies, would they do better? Or would they do worse? Or, it would be about the same??

And, If you stuck Dak into any of the top teams, would those teams the same, better, or... worse in scoring and winning games????

The pass before was a dime to the 49ers. Lucky for Dak it was tipped.

Romo = average
Dak = below average

You get the same results with both!

You might be right about the first half of his tenure but by about mid 2012 Romo had gotten very good at reading defenses. So much so that the offense really only functioned at a high level in hurry when HE was calling the plays instead of Garrett or whomever. By the end of 2013 he was a full on Jedi master. At least when he wasn't playing in so much pain he couldn't see straight. The way he played in 2014 confirmed it. Even the start of 2015 looked for all the world that even with Joseph Randle as his main back he was going to lead the Cowboys to a winning season if his body had held up.
