So Dak had a bad half and was still ahead 17-6 against the 3-1 Packers at Lambeau. That the difference between him and Romo. When Romo has a bad half, we are down 21-0 and have no chance to win.

I agree with his central premise regarding Dak and Romo. However, his reasoning concerning the game is a bit uneven. In a league that has become dueling quarterbacks, how do you come out of Lambeau with a two touchdown win when your quarterback was "bad" and theirs was "good"?

His Dak point and his Rodgers point are actually separate discussion points along his twitter. I just posted it altogether. If you had been on twitter during the game like I was, my entire timeline was filled with "What's wrong with Rodgers?" So that's what the guy was addressing with Rodgers point. It wasn't really a Rodgers vs Dak point.

Well, I posted a thread with a bunch of tweets by him a few weeks ago where he broke down Dak's performance against somebody and he followed the tweets up with a full article.

He's pretty well-respected in the NFL community, tho I'm still unsure as to who he is. Either way, whenever I see someone do a whole twitter timeline discussing the Cowboys, I try to share.

Sorry, you don't appreciate it.

Some people only see the trees. Dak can walk on water right now. Best sometimes to just sit back and watch.

Just for comparisons sake, I'd love to see Romo play a few games with Zeke.

Guess you forgot about the last time Romo was down 21-0. He won. Rams 2014?

It could be a combination of all those things. He out-executed everyone, even with bad mechanics and he had elite talent around him. Now his WR corps which is where he made his money is extremely average. His RB is trying to eat himself out of the league the GB defense is half m.a.s.h. unit, half average. He can't elevate them.

It's the dreaded window closing. For almost all franchises, the window of when your team puts it all together and wins is short. I remember Aikman and Emmitt together in their final years were aweful. It may be Rogers time to suffer.

Obviously, the only exception is Brady who is the Devil's spawn. Notice how he never gets older?

I am amazed that more fans do not see the blessings that this team has bestowed upon it with regard to the QB situation. I guess that painful memories are often blocked out, but compared to living through the desert wandering Quinthy, Henson, Hutchinson years, our franchise has progressed light years. Think about it. No matter whom we start after the bye (or against the Browns), we probably have the best backup QB in the league - that is an incredible luxury.

My own view (which I must admit has been shaken by how impressive Dak has played as a rookie) would be to start Romo against the Browns. It is a delicate balance between loyalty and momentum, but I believe he has earned it. I also believe that 2015 was a fluke, and injuries played a huge role on the team's psyche (maybe to the discredit of the coaching staff), and I believe that the 2016 version of Romo will be much more akin to the 2014 version.

The way I look at it is, "What do we have to lose?" We give Romo 2-3 games to see if he's still got "it." If not, the Dak era begins early. If Romo performs well and strings together some wins, then maybe Dak sits on the bench and learns some more. Then the Dak era begins next year, or worst case, 2 years from now.

Either way, we have two very talented QBs, the best backup in the league over the next 2 years, and we have our future franchise QB already in house. That's pretty amazing - we seem to have found our way out of the desert!!!

It's hard for me to even understand the whole Romo vs Dak debate. Dak is KILLING it out there and has LED this team to 5 straight games and some Romo homers are dying for him to come back in there? You don't mess with a team that is winning and the team chemistry is through the roof. You keep rolling with it until that changes. Kid throws for 250 yards, 3 tds, and has a 117 qbr and that was a bad game for him? Please. If they bring rusty romo back in there all hell will break lose with the fans and media. Jerry always thinks he is smarter than everyone, so I don't put it past him to put Romo in. We haven't had success in 20 years for a reason.

You don't mess with a winning recipe. We have had 5 straight wins and now we should change up the qb who led us there? No way. Let this kid keep winning and if he starts to falter, Romo can be right there to come in.

Believe me, I completely understand this argument, and wouldn't at all be upset if they went in this direction. No matter which decision they make, I'm still completely amazed that we now have the luxury of a very talented back up QB waiting in the wings should the other one falter.

Something in me, though, wants to see Romo operating with a stud RB, and an above-average defense with most of the roster healthy. We caught a glimpse of it in 2014. I'd love to see a more fitting ending to the Romo story. Maybe I'm getting nostalgic in my old age.
