You have it all backwards. Dak has played lights out and has lifted up everyone around him. Especially the defense. Everyone likes to win and when you have a Qb playing this good, it elevates the whole team. This team couldn't win last year without Romo, heck it could barely win with him. The coaches were outcoached every week. Now all the sudden they are MUCH better? Yeah, now that they have a stud QB.

Yeah, this is nonsense that basically says the rest of the team is pathetic. It's insulting to them really.

 

[Grevus]

Most of the players on this team remember last season without Romo. It was pathetic. Dak has at a minimum has played well and has opened the playbook of possibilities. You will never see option plays or bootlegs with Romo. Zeke is a major factor as well to this, but you have to see that Dak has brought energy and excitement to this team. They believe and so do I that they can win behind this kid. The defense is stepping up and doing it's job. Winning does that to teams.

Repeat after me, "Romo isn't going to win a Super Bowl" he's done nothing in 10 years, been in the league 13 years, he's washed up bro. The sooner you accept it, the happier your life will be.

You repeat this.... A rookie QB had never won a SB....ever.

Repeat this. "Romo has never won a Super Bowl in 13 years, and hasn't even been close"

 

[FuzzyLumpkins]

It's funny. You have one side arguing specific plays showing where Dak had problems. No one argues those points. If anything they are ignored with a purpose.

The other side basically screams "scoreboard!" and "chemistry!"

Neither has Romo. And there have been 2nd year QB's that have won the Super Bowl, fairly recently...like Brady, Roethlisberger and Russell Wilson. So if we keep Dak playing, perhaps we can get that ring in 2017.

He's correct. Dak was all over the place yesterday.

You are right. Romo has never been all over the place.

Oh wait...That was how he was the last time he took regular season snaps. 5 TDS and 7 picks in 2015 = the definition of all over the place.

Remember the shotgun empty set 5WR sets Romo used to run on most passing downs? You see a lot of those lately?

Rollouts and read options are simple plays to run. That is not opening up the playbook like limiting the protection and having to read both sides progressively downfield.

He actually brought us back to win against the GIants last year before he got hurt which Dak failed to do.

The running game wasn't as good. Leary is better than LC and it is obvious. LC in particular struggled against the mammoths NYG put out there. Randle melted down literally eventually needing to be institutionalized.

Romo was also injured. If he is injured he shouldn't play but healthy he is the best option we have at QB. Pretending like Dak hasn't had a better supporting cast is gratuitous.

 

[Slim_JD]

Heard him on the Dan lebatard show today and he pretty much just said romo is the better option. Dak was all over the place and all the turnovers were on him. If Rodger's doesn't fumble on the goaline than his interception looks much worse.

 

[Yakuza Rich]

Dak isn't going anywhere.

Everybody knows that. But with more playing time comes more experience and when we head into 2017, I'd rather have a more experienced QB in Dak if possible. I think it's safe to say that the experience that Russell and Roethlisberger received from their rookie seasons helped them in their 2nd season quite a bit.

Ironically, Romo carried this team for so many years. Now the entire team is playing well and it seems time to get rid of Romo like he's some kind of ugly girlfriend now that you've moved up in society and can get better.

You should actually refraze that response to "The Cowboys have never won a SB in 13 years. There's a few other people involved.

okay I will. The Cowboys have not won or done anything of importance in the 13 years that Tony Romo has been here.

Linehan isn't going to be evaluating the film with the intent of coming up with player development strategies until the season is over. The six games and 100's of snaps to this point already is enough of a body of work to do that.

I noticed how you included the 3 years he sat on the bench. Stat padding?

Who said he was?

I think it's a large leap in faith to think that Romo will perform better mainly because of his injuries and age.

And I think it puts Tony in a no-win situation to automatically make him the starter. For once this organization can stop putting Tony in difficult situations.

Meanwhile, we can give Dak more meaningful experience to not only help us win this year, but next year as well.

And this coming from a guy that is generally very much against rookie QB's starting. But Dak has shown that he's familiar with the speed of the game, has the throwing mechanics down, reads defenses well and his only deficiencies will improve with more game experience.

And he's the 2nd most efficient QB in the league right now with a 5-game win streak.

The fact is, no matter who was playing QB for the Cowboys since Romo's been on the team, they've not done anything important. And for that matter, the last 20 years. Whoever was QB the prior 7 to 10 years prior to Romo taking over, same end results. If you can dispute that, go ahead.

The fact is, whomever was QB was not good enough to go to the NFC Championship game in the last 20 years.

If this is the best you can do to try to backdoor into a conclusion then it is not nearly enough. Football is a team game and Romo has had a running game to work with two years and a defense less than that.

I get that you want to pretend that the only games that matter are conference championships and super bowls like a frontrunner but that doesn't make it so. Moreso, prior to Garret, the team was woefully mismanaged even in the Prcells era.

Recall Costa, Nagy, McQuistan, and Livings? Remember when Columbo, Kosier, Gurode and Adams wheels fell off? Remember Bradie James and Roy WIlliams not be able to cover anyone?

Recall Parcells repeated handpicked second round debacles? Bobby Carpenter and the kick returner du jour?

Recall Jerry Jones trading multiple premium picks for a marginal WR? How about that 2009 draft and Jones paying huge dollars to Hamlin and Barber and the subsequent rosters?

I'll repeat. Whomever was QBing this team from 2007 until now has not been good enough to go to the NFC Championship game. It doesn't matter who, doesn't matter why, they just can't get it done. You can roll out all the stats in history, the this the that, they've not been good enough, INCLUDING the QB. Now those are facts.
