Dak is like Romo

[CowboyRoy]

If the goal of standard for Dak is getting the team to a Super Bowl, then I'm going to point out that Romo didn't get the team to the Super Bowl during this career. And will mention the times were Romo has had bad games or has made costly mistakes or throws in key moments or in important games.

And I supported Romo, but if Dak's mistakes and bad games are pointed out or focused on every time he has a bad game, then it's only fair for Romo's to be mentioned as well. Especially if some choose to have revisionist history and pretend like the team never had a string of losses close together while Romo was the QB or when they want to insist that Romo always made the perfect throws or never missed throws.

QB's dont get teams to the SB. I have never been about that type of mind frame. Its a team game.

Why couldn't Romo elevate the rosters that he had to a Super Bowl? Isn't that what Dak critics say defines an elite QB? To be able to elevate players around him and not need the so called "perfect team" or "all pro bowl players" in order to accomplish and achieve certain QB feats and goals in the NFL?

Romo still with only 2 playoff wins in his whole career and those who claim excuses are made for Dak, will come to Romo's defense to explain why he wasn't able to win a SB and why not being able to win one isn't his fault.

Romo has more heart, always has. Dak is hurt.

and I'm not condoning Dak at all. Will never condone a DUI driver.

Wilson now just went on IR our starting SS. Dont forget these guys have to get the kinks out.

Couldn't remember when Wilson went to IR. He should still have a few games to get right when he gets back. The guys we have now can hold the fort as long as the pass rush regains form, which I think it will. Time will tell.

In Romo’s case, Jerry wasted his career with Garrett.

On the other hand, with Dak, the team catered everything to his development. They even played him in meaningless games so he could get better. They didn’t even let Romo compete for his job back. It took him a week to throw a TD in training camp in year 3, in the “Dak-friendly” offense after they scapegoated Dez for his bad throws. They completely tailored the offense for him, had all pro linemen, a RG to boot. Panicked and got Amari fir multiple draft picks, got more offensive fire power, including Lamb and Gallup, and people pretending like this franchise ruined him.

Nah, this franchise wasted a SB talented roster baby-sitting him.

Why you want to change the subject now?
You wanted to compare Super Bowls.
Dak - 0
Romo - 0

Ain't that enough?

Romo has more heart, always has. Dak is hurt.

Romo's career eventually ended because of the injuries piling up.

 

[khiladi]

Dak-stans with the injury excuse, when they gave Andy Dalton no leeway for playing with nobody on OL. Typical..

Can you imagine the line of Lawrence, Gallimore, Urban/Osa, Gregory?

With Parsons back at LBer blitzing from the middle?

Rush would have won this game. heck jason garrett at his present age would have won this game. bam. maybe we can suit him up next game, he couldn't be any worse than dak.

QB's dont get teams to the SB. I have never been about that type of mind frame. Its a team game.

But that's the standards that Dak's going to be held to and he will be ridiculed as "not the guy" unless the Cowboys get to one with him.

but have you seen his stats?

It gives me the warm and fuzzies thinking about it! Gally was bringing some serious heat by the end of last year and looked really good in the preseason. That defensive lineup was what I was looking forward most coming into the season. It'll be fun to watch.

d

that's what the raiders are doing now after seeing the elite MVP guy throw the ball in the dirt on 3rd down in overtime.

 

[JayFord]

Dak bought the team back and the defense collapsed because of penalties

 

[Romo_To_Dez]

Dak-stans with the injury excuse, when they gave Andy Dalton no leeway for playing with nobody on OL. Typical..

And saying that Romo had "inferior or weak rosters" all throughout his career isn't an "excuse"?

He did… His OL was full of journeyman or busts, outside Smith, who replaced Flozell Adams, their only credible linemen.

And he had Jason Garrett as the play caller, which is the most legitimate excuse in the history of football.

Dont ever Compare this dink and dunk fraud of a QB to Romo…


While Romo didnt get it done, he was saddled with worse teams and coaching than Dak. Dak cant even make the simplest of throws in a consistent manner..

Wrong, Bill Parcels created a super bowl roster and Wades first season we went 13-3 with talent on both sides of the ball. Romo still lost.

Daks rookie season we went 13-3 and lost to Green Bay. Dak’s stats were better than Rogers but we still lost because our defense could not get a stop on 4th and 35.

The only constant across the past 25 seasons is our owner, gm, and phantom head coach. It’s neither Romos fault or Dak’s, it’s the fool at the top that builds the roster and hires all his friends and ex players as coaches regardless if they had a day of experience (Garrett, Kellen Moore, etc).

“Romo has given away games”


You posted a video that shows what happens almost every starting QB. For as many of those games hes “given away”, I can name two games that hes won for us that we had no business winning…

Of course other QBs do, but the point is we often hold Romo in such high regard and forget all about some of his mistakes, but criticize Dak for a turnover or missed throw in the same breadth. Tony Romo was an excellent QB over his career, but at the end of the day he was that generations Danny White in not delivering when it mattered most. Dak's story is still being written, but like Romo he's accountable to missed opportunities at the end of the game too.

And he had Jason Garrett as the play caller, which is the most legitimate excuse in the history of football.

So Romo couldn't win the Super Bowl without the "perfect team" or "Pro bowler at every position."? As this is the narrative and logic that has been used to ridicule and bash Dak.
