Cowboys WR on Dak Prescott: 'Great to have QB that's not moody'

[gimmesix]

Maybe he was referring to Weeden crying in the huddle last year.

That's actually possible. I don't think anyone enjoyed the QBs we had to play last year, including the players.

 

[manster4ever]

I don't know if these stats are accurate but if they are.....



We failed him. He didn't fail us.

Ahhhhhhhhhh....yeah. Didn't see the SB stats. LOFL. I like Romo: GOOD QB. Comparing him to Brady? LOFL

 

[Lunzatis]

Dak got to play free of "expectations" this year. That will not be the case next year. I am a Cowboy fan...so I am pulling for the guy to prove last year was not a fluke. But I don't take what Terrance Williams said as a "shot" on Romo. Romo has carried this organization on his back...and it finally gave out. So it is understandable if he was moody from the pressure and burden to do the majority of the heavy lifting. Heck..I am still moody over the Green Bay loss.

Trust me, Dak knows about expectations. Taking Mississippi State to #1 in the nation in the SEC West, the toughest division in college football, and then people expecting him to follow it up his Senior season? Dak led Mississippi State to a 10 win season with a bad offensive line, no running game, and an average defense. Yes, the NFL and the Cowboys are a step up from that but he knows all about expectations.

Sure about that:




Aaron Rodgers doesn't make the playoffs this year with that type of attitude much less the title game, because he was damn sure let down by his personnel department. But like a true great should do, he lifted his team to heights they shouldn't have reached.

Tony Romo had the chance and should've made the playoffs in 2011, 2012 and 2013. He didn't because he wasn't good enough.



Tom Brady ever let is team down like Romo at 1:47:

Ignorant post IMO
Any intelligent football fan knows that the reason Romo has so many yards and stats is from playing half his games trying to come back from behind after turnorvers. Il never forget the buffallo game where i dissowned him and he won won me over in the same game.

The thing I hated most about the Romo era is the failures in almost every meaningful big game especially at home just stunk it up over and over.

How often do you think Brady was really playing catchup ball slinging like this last superbowl after trying to pull a Romo stink bomb in the first half?

Why dont you put up theyre playoff stats for comparison too?

But Brady is also a product of Bill Belichick's system just as Joe Montant was a product of Bill Walsh's system. Those two systems would work with most Qbs, aka Matt Cassel for example. Give me the Qb's that ARE the system like a Peyton Manning & Dan Marino. Peyton would have been in and won more Super Bowls if he hadn't had an idiot owner like Jim Irsey. Want proof? What has the Colts done since Peyton left & they drafted Andrew Luck? Luck is a great Qb but Irsey has been exposed for the idiot he is.

Criticism is not dependent on expectation. You can point out flaws and mistakes without having an expectation that these things won't happen.

The "bar" for Dak was that of a 4th round rookie. The bar will be much, much higher in the future.

Maybe the bar was 4th round rookie on opening day, it certainly wasn't against the Packers.

Why wouldn't the bar be higher following a players rookie year and he's showed promise? None of this is revolutionary.

That doesn't change the fact that as the season went along, the bar got higher and there were plenty of people waiting for him to trip over it.

Cowboys WR on Dak Prescott: 'Great to have QB that's not moody'
Without QB Tony Romo in the fold, Dallas Cowboys WR Terrance Williams credits the success of 2016 to one key attribute by Dak Prescott.

"Playing with Dak is always great," said Williams. "When you have a quarterback that's not always moody, by that, I mean sometimes you have a QB that's happy or sometimes he's mad or sometimes you don't even know the mood -- but, with Dak you go in the huddle and he's always calm. He's always cool, calm and collected. No matter if we're down by such amount of points or winning. Dak is just one of those guys that you tell him to do something, and he pays attention to the small things.

"And that's what makes him so great."

Ooooooooooohhhh!
Oh, no, he didn't!!!

Strong words, naif.

I remember in those days it didn't matter that Manning had better stats because Tom was all about winning!

 

[Lunzatis]

I love Romo. Don't think his lack of success in Dallas was his fault. But I think many fans fail to realize....because we are always on TV...we are the richest franchise....we have the best stadium...the most visible owner....the best cheerleaders...the best practice facilities etc.....that during his reign...we have won 2 playoff games. We are so used to NOT winning....we are measuring our success on other "things". But I am not a benefactor all of all these "things". I am just a fan who is SICK on not winning!

As a Mississippi State fan, I know you're pain better than most. We've gone over 120 years without a National Title and went 118 years without being #1 in the nation. Dak at least helped us to achieve one of those. I know it's frustrating to go 21 years without a championship but just remember there are teams and fans that have gone much much longer without winning a championshp, much less EVER winning a championship. Case in point, think of the torture of being a Cleveland Browns fan.

 

[Lunzatis]

I remember in those days it didn't matter that Manning had better stats because Tom was all about winning!

Brady was all about winning because of the system of Bill Belichick. Peyton Manning took 4 different head coaches to the Super Bowl. Brady wouldn't be able to sniff one without Bill Belichick. The fact that Matt Cassel was 11-5 the year Brady was out with an injury proves it's Belichick's system that allows the Patriots to win. Doesn't hurt that the Patriots get close to half their wins as freebies thanks to their division. Talk about the EASIEST division in the NFL. It's rare when a team other than the Patriots have a winning record in that division, though that may be changing with the Dolphins new Head Coach.

 

[Lunzatis]

Strong words, naif.

Lol, the only naif is you. Look at Brady's stats. Out of 14 seasons not including the past season and the season he was injured, Brady has 8 seasons with 4000 yards or more and the majority of those came AFTER the 2007 season when they made it easier for the offense to pass the ball. Before the 2007 season Brady had ONE season with 4000+ yards. Out of 17 seasons Peyton Manning has ONLY three seasons where he did not reach at least 4000+ yards. Peyton Manning had seven seasons with at least 4000 yards passing BEFORE the rule changes before the 07 season. Peyton Manning redefined the Qb position like what the greatest at their positions do. Brady hasn't. Remind me who's been the NFL MVP a record FIVE times. Sure wasn't Brady because any Qb can do what Brady does in Belichick's system. Ask Matt Cassel or better yet, remind me what Matt Cassel did for the Cowboys' in the 2015 season.

Tom Brady ever let is team down like Romo at 1:47:

Just like any other quarterback in history, Romo was prone to his bad games. No one will ever deny that. However, in the near 10 years he was starter for us, Tony consistently carried this team week in and week out. He was a damn warrior in which he constantly played injured because he was a leader and one of the fiercest competitors in Cowboys history. We’re talking about a man who played with broken ribs and a punctured lung who led us to a comeback victory against the 49ers in 2011 and played with a broken back against the Commanders in 2013 and once again led an improbable comeback win. I can also fondly remember him throwing for freakin’ 500 yards against the Broncos and helping the offense to 48 points, which of course wasn’t enough because of our historically bad defense, but all anyone will remember is his interception at the end despite the fact he carried that team on his back that day.

I can go on and on about the times Tony carried this team on his shoulders and constantly got ridiculed and hated by opposing fans and Cowboys fans themselves for God knows what reason. I’m sick and tired of defending this man on this forum where some fans still like yourself want to solely blame Tony for this team’s failures for the last decade. He kept this damn franchise relevant for years, especially from 2011 to 2013 when our teams we’re 5-11 material. Everyone expected him to be a Rodgers, Brady or Manning and do everything by himself, but he just wasn’t that kind of quarterback. He needed help and Jerry never provided him enough during his prime years. How many times did Romo have a top 5 or even just a top 10 defense to help him out? Once, twice? Where was the running game prior to 2014? Everyone thought he could be Superman, but he couldn’t and Jerry and Co. should’ve realized that sooner and provided him with the right resources to assist him in leading this team to a Super Bowl.

You have your opinion about Romo and that’s fine. But open your eyes and appreciate what this man did for this franchise for many years. Tony Romo was the face of this team for nearly 10 years and represented this franchise with class and humbleness for many seasons and he never deserved the hate he got. He didn’t deserve any of it and it’s a damn shame people have simply tossed him aside like trash without realizing what he did for this team for so long.

Don't have time to read a book. The Cowboys should've won 11 or 12 games in 2011. Romo is the reason they didn't

 

[Gameover]

Romo's 2011 team was more talented then this team that Aaron Rodgers just carried to the title game. Aaron had a better OL every other advantage was in Romo's favor

Tony Romo has had chances to lift his team, he didn't get it done. Period

 

[Bleu Star]

Meaning when I ran a lazy route Tony would call me out on it and the rookie didn't.

& to think people get upset when I call him T-Rex...

 

[Ultra Warrior]

So you don't like QBs who don't display whether they're happy or mad with you? Got it. *nods head*

Just wait until Dak gets more experience, don't think he won't be as demanding as any other vet QB.

Oh T-Will.. This thread should get a lot of run tho.

When the O-Line under performs & Dak starts running for his life like a good portion of Romo's career, T-Will will start seeing a lot of different "moods" from his new QB. That is, if he's ( T-Will ) still on the team next season. Real easy to be "Calm" when you can chuck the ball around, without being in mortal fear of getting drilled into the ground on almost every play.

Coulda woulda shoulda, all conjecture. The only fact to me is Romo is and always has been a colossal choker and failure, I love the boys withall my heart,watched since Dorsette, Romo has ruined my enjoyment of football for a long time. Hes a glorified Ryan Fitspatrick, and he is a loser compared to what some of us expect from a franchise qb. Cant wait for mr "awe shux" get the boot! Loser!
