No timestamp???


Edit: thought this was a link to the full episode. My bad

 

[Gambit]

This is a pretty good listen.

 

[Ranching]

Having Zeke in his prime helped Dak a lot....without him, Tony may have been back.

 

[Mac_MaloneV1]

If he was healthy enough to play, Romo still should have been the QB that year.

I still think that was the wrong decision.

 

[WillieBeamen]

An idiotic decision that cost them a Super Bowl trip

 

[HungryLion]

Damn, as close as Witten and Romo were and Witten shived him right in the back.

So in other words, Dak won the total respect of his teammates rather than Romo lost it. No fault of Romo at all......just got caught in the middle of a perfect storm. But I do think we would have had a better chance of winning the playoff game with him and his experience.

When you're a beta its easy for Dak to take your spot so it was Romos fault.

2 straight years of waiting for Romo to heel from his injuries, It was time to move on.

 

[Aven8]

I was all about Romo and knew he would have been better that year, but what Dak had accomplished and taken over the team you couldn’t bench him. That could have gone backwards fast

Dak threw for 302 yards and 3 TDs at 8 YPA in the 2016 playoff game. Romo wasn’t going to make a difference in that outcome. The game was lost because Garrett kicked two field goals on 4th and 1 with the best OL/RB in the league and our defense didn’t show up in the first half.

You should never lose a home playoff game scoring 30+ points

Having that second coming of the Great Wall helped both Zeke and Dak. They even helped Romo have his best season as a pro in 2014. A great o-line can mask a lot of things.

 

[G2]

Players trump fans feelings I guess.

 

[VaqueroTD]

Look at 4:40 and his Garrett comment. All you need to know about players on Garrett. That was why team didn‘t go further that year, not because of Romo or Dak.

That’s also the start of talented young players coming in droves, thank you Will McClay. Which is what led to the entire team being tight and not separating by offense and defense.

Stings hearing him talk about it. I thought it was a special team too that had crazy momentum and was destined for more than another Green Bay upset. Time to take GB out. I hope the 2023 team humiliates them.

Then Green Bay, which was a HORRIBLE defensive team, was down 31-7 early the next playoff game. That said nothing.

Church pretty much said that.......the entire team was behind Dak

Garrett ruined many careers.

The more time goes on, the more I realize how bad it was. Usually a Coach looks better in retrospect.

So you're saying Romo would have made a difference. What's your point?
