Any one else feel this way?

[Nexx]

It seems as though Dak supporters really seem to dislike Romo. I dont think Romo supporters dislike Dak but think that Romo is our best shot at a Super Bowl this year.

 

[Pessimist_cowboy]

Bingo !

 

[darthseinfeld]

I think lines have been drawn. Seen plenty of anti Dak sentiment. I think some have been waiting for his first bad game to come out

 

[links18]

There is plenty of viciousness to go around. As usual...

 

[Tabascocat]

Dak brought in a new wave type of fans. Any of us who have always supported Romo are now anti-Dak. I could go into political comparisons like left vs right but I will refrain

Quite a few can not understand us supporting both QB's at the same time, they insist that we choose just a one. It is almost a young fan against an older fan type of movement.

I, for one, think that Tony has always got the raw end of the deal and he is a much better QB than most perceive. I want nothing more than Dak to take Romo's spot and never look back, I really do and I am a huge Romo supporter. I want our next franchise QB to be Prescott and that Romo has seen his last snap as a Cowboy against Seattle in pre-season.

I don't like the QB controversies but I do want to see our best option at the helm for a 2016/2017 playoff run......I just have a gut feeling that Romo is our best bet this season if Dak continues to regress/remain stagnate.

I don't know the answers or claim to be an expert, but I want the guy in who is our best bet to win THIS season.....whether it be Dak or Romo.

If you think there's a,QB debate now, watch what happens if Dak has another stinker against TB. During a sideline pre game interview last night, Dak seemed very amped up or nervous...or something...he had not appeared that way before...ever. I told myself right then that he was going to have an extremely good game, or a very bad one. There was just something different in his demeanor and his voice prior to the game. He was not himself. This coming game will tell a lot, IMO.

 

[HappyOnions]

Oh I'm quite certain that SOME Romo supporters dislike Dak and jump at every opportunity to tear him down.

I just wish we could have a little patience and tolerance when it comes to our rookie QB who has us at 11-2.

I agree 100% .. told my wife he was either too excited .. too cold or too nervous ... there was an obvious tremble in his voice ..

I think there is a lot of frustration with phrases like this.

Many of us don't want to hear about him being a rookie because it's not pertinent to the discussion of whether or not he should be playing and what gives the team the best chance to win the Superbowl (our goal).

We also don't like phrasing and insinuations that it is Dak that is leading and pulling the team to success. We don't buy into the notion that a team's success is due to the QB alone and that just because someone is the QB that they are leading. It's a team game, and the success is the team's. The team has themselves at 11-2. It's not Dak that has them there.

 

[sean10mm]

Romo had exactly 1 season with a higher passer rating than Dak has right now after his worst game of the year. The assumption that Romo would be vastly out-performing Dak seems dubious at best, especially given his age and injury history.

I've been as big a Romo fan as anybody all along, but the writing is on the wall and people need to accept reality. His age and injury history make it very unlikely we ever see the player we saw in 2014 again. Hitching the team's fortunes to him at this point is a bad bet.

 

[zrinkill]

Utter nonsense

This is just how Romo only supporters are trying to explain their own hatred toward Dak.

Pathetic.

 

[erod]

This is exactly right. Romo detractors are a funny lot. I don't understand why folks aren't relishing the situation of having both.

But Romo, if healthy, is a far superior quarterback today than Prescott. That really isn't even debatable, though you'd never know it. LOL

Against Minnesota, Dak was 12-of-18 for 139 yards. That gave him a 105 QB rating. Tells you all you need to know about QB ratings.

And if that's the measure, Romo has the highest 4th quarter QB rating in NFL history. So there's that.

 

[Yakuza Rich]

I think there is some Dak supporters that don't like Romo. They feel that he has let them down over the years.

But, you're always going to get that.

I'm a Dak supporter because he's played excellent this year and has far exceeded any expectations I would have had for ANY QB in the last 2 drafts.

But, I have grown tired of blind Romo loyalists that act like Romo never had a bad game and never missed a pass and never did much of anything wrong. And the ones that act like he was the king of deep passing and Dak, by proxy is the worst deep passer that ever lived.

What I don't miss about Romo is the drama that surrounded him. That really wasn't his fault for the most part other than those key turnovers at the worst time. But, I don't miss hearing about it every game, every month and every year. I really don't. Don't hate Romo in the least, but the drama that followed him wore me out as a Cowboys fan.

He only threw the ball 18 times because the defense couldn't stay on the field and we fumbled.

I don't think QB rating is the be all end all, but I don't think Dak played poorly against the Vikings either.

You can't just dismiss QB Ratings for Dak and then use them with Romo because it fits your agenda.

I detest statistics in general. I prefer my eyes.

Dak drove the Cowboys for 10 points against the Vikings, and 7 against the Giants. I don't blame it all on him, but he's not forcing teams out of these fronts and blitzes.

He'd better produce far more against Tampa, or Romo will start against the Lions. Book it.

Romo has evolved into a tremendous quarterback. That didn't come without growing pains, and unfortunately, the beating he took has prevented him from taking full advantage of that evolution.

He was as good in 2014 as any QB has played in the history of the Cowboys for a season.

I just hate to see all that tried-and-true progress standing on the sideline at this point. I was fine with it until Dak started spiraling downward, and if Romo is the best chance going forward, he should be in the saddle again.

Dak can change that against Tampa. But I'm sick of the notion that Dak is leading this team to this record. That is largely the offensive line and running back that Romo never really had until late.

Dak's days will come regardless.

It seems as though Dak supporters really seem to dislike Romo. I dont think Romo supporters dislike Dak but think that Romo is our best shot at a Super Bowl this year.

I think this is true to some degree.

However, there are those that support both about the same and just want the Cowboys to win.

But generally, Romo has been around long enough that there are some entrenched in hatred towards him. Too many wounds.
If he always played on teams like we have now, as he did to some lessor degree in 2014, maybe the pool of haters would be shallower because he would be going to the playoffs every single year and sometimes, eventually, to the Super Bowl.

Dak hasn't been here long enough to have a bunch of haters. I mean , he stepped into a great situation and has done a very fine job. No major wounds, so not much scar tissue yet.
Not enough time to become irrationally hated when the team is 11-2 and you're still a rookie.


As far as stats. The larger the data set the better. Even then, there are flaws

QB rating can be really skewed when the volume isn't there.
For example, a QB can complete only 4 passes an entire game out of 5 attempts for a measly 40 yards and no TDs...and still have a 100 QB rating.
Just worth noting...and this applies to any QB of course.

I will not speak for anyone else. I fully support Dak and have always supported Romo. There is no dislike what so ever of Romo by me. If tomorrow Romo was named starter I would be very happy for him and hope he could lead this team to a SB. However I will not dump on a young QB who has helped this team achieve as much as they have thus far and be calling for his head as some here are doing. When fans called for Romo head in the past I felt that was uncalled for as much as I think it is uncalled for calling for Dak. Only in Dallas does an 11-2 QB have some fans calling for his removal. I agree many here make it personal to me it is not personal and I have never seen an 11-2 QB getting benched.

What is funny is I keep hearing well Romo never played for a great team like this? This team was picked to be 8-8 by many of you, most here gave Dallas 0 chances of being where they are but now all of a sudden the experts who were so wrong about this team are not giving their expert view of replacing the QB who lead this team

Dak has done a heck of a lot in contributing to the wins. A heck of a lot. He's had good talent around him, but let's not understate it...the QB has to make it happen. And Dak has done that 90% of the time.

I'm a huge Romo fan but I admire the ball protection, the runs and some of the outstanding throws he's made. His decision-making on the whole is outstanding. And generally speaking Romo is more accurate.

Dak isn't quite as experienced at reads....and therefore it takes him a bit more time. Romo can quickly cycle through 3-4 options. He's had a decade of practice reading pro defenses.

The issue for me is Romo's age and health and the concern that he isn't the same even as he was in 2014 (when he was already having a lot of back problems).
