After 127 starts, Romo/Prescott by the numbers

[Scottishcowboy]

This can only end one way

You can't extend your arm and throw a deep ball with a tailored jacket, that's ridiculous. Plus, the rules state he needs to wear the same uniform as the rest of our players (WP award /badge /thingy not withstanding).

Clearly romo was better


“The same QB” is a lazy analysis when you factor in era, eye test, and the teams they had around them

Era? Different era is Aikman. Eye test? Both were/are among the best QB's of their time. The raw numbers show it, the win totals show it, and what we watched show it.

Teams around them? Both were hampered at various stages by rosters constructed by Jerry and Stephen. That's why there are only four total playoff wins combined between them.

That's not lazy analysis. The Cowboys have been blessed at the quarterback position ever since 2006 when Bill Parcells finally turned the reins over to Romo. And the organization has done nothing but waste year after year of excellent play at the position.

Truly believe Prescott's always kept his body in better shape If you see what he did this offseason he took that to another level The guy looks like he only had like 3 percent body fat more lean and quicker than he's been in a very long time and that could extend his career.. He plays longer maybe just maybe he has that lucky one year where they make it to at least the NFC championship game maybe a Super Bowl just by longevity you know I just think he's going to play a few more years more than Romo I mean when you crack your back three times whatever fractures he had it pretty much takes you out of it back injuries but Prescott had bad luck with injuries but nothing that really is going to stay with him.....

Always said that Drew Brees had the career that Romo was capable of. Romo's off-seasons were football-last. Ultimately when he was finally mentally ready to reach for the ring: his body wasn't.

Their stats are very similar across the board.

How about tell the whole story
Dak has almost 2,000 yards rushing 30 rushing touchdowns and 158 rushing first downs.

Romo on the other hand is not in the same league rushing-wise 620 yards five rushing touchdowns and 50 rushing first downs.

Dak could and can still do things with his legs that Romo could never do.
Romo would scramble around in the pocket but did not want to run past the line of scrimmage under any circumstances he wanted to throw the ball.

Pro Football Reference didn't have the rushing numbers or I would have included them.

Was just showing how they stood after 127 starts for each. Just numbers, no bias.

Clearly you're delusional

The same quarterback is a lazy analysis

part of being a quarterback is being able to run the ball when necessary compare those stats it's not even close.

Beyond that Romo has like 30 more interceptions that is significant in a bad way

 

[NeverBeGameOver]

And impressive considering neither has ever had a defense lol

Quinn's defenses weren't bad. Miss those turnovers.

Their stats are very similar across the board.

Very similar indeed and think you also have to add the rushing numbers in too, which makes total yards and tds virtually equal too. It's becoming hard to celebrate one and knock the other.

Romo: 620 rushing yards and 5 rushing TDs
Prescott: 1,988 rushing yards and 30 rushing TDs.

In my opinion Romo was probably a bit more of a down the field throwing threat, while Dak does better protecting the ball. That's all backed up by stats with Romo's higher yards per attempt and slightly higher td rate, while Dak has a higher completion rate, and better int %. Dak has added a little more on the ground, both have demonstrated good escapability when the pocket breaks down.

Pro football reference is where I got the numbers from yes they do have the rushing numbers.

Just like if you were comparing Ray Lewis and Hollywood Henderson
And just put down the number of tackles and the number of interceptions
While leaving out forced fumbles and sacks.

It just shows how much the defense has hurt this team for years. Last time we had a real good defense was when Wade was the HC.

This guy thinks Romo and Dak played in the same era…

This guy thought he cooked bringing up Rushing totals…

Classic. Best post of the day.

They were horrible against the run. Only effective with a lead.

yeah when your strategy is Safties at LB that can go wrong for sure..lol

 

[Blackrain]

I've shown this before on the board comparing their numbers. Romo was really turning into a good veteran QB by the end and putting up some of these same numbers Dak is at this point in his career. They both have same two issues though --- Playoff Chokers (which I would probably give Romo the edge on playing better), and Can Their Body Hold Up? (Which I probably give Dak the edge on staying healthier longer).

Romo at his best physical condition was never the physical specimen that DAk was at his worst

*QBs have similar numbers*

It's part of playing the position.

Certainly factors into the game with guys like Jalen hurts Lamar Jackson Josh Allen.

Why wouldn't it factor in with Dak and Romo

The thing is you like one not the other, the other poster likes the other....neither have facts that show one is better... so why would "Your observation" be better than "His observation" when facts "Stats the record of what happened" dont back up either? you can scream to the mountain top "My guy was better because i say so" and it still holds no meaning.
