Dak is not my QB

Cmac said:
You're going to praise a toe-to-toe performance that yielded a "no chance now" interception? Granted he tossed for 500+ yards and had 3 100yd WRs (Dak would need CD with a 200 yd game) that day.....but that interception at the wrong time (Danny Trevathan) closed the Cowboys chance that day. Your defense isn't a defense....it's truth and facts from the career that we examine now or reflect on. Many of us liked Tony, but got frustrated with him, as we do with Dak.

C'mon SultanOfSix.....we get the love & loyalty, and you're entitled to your beliefs.......let's just stop the "Woe is Tony" moves, if we're moving the goalposts frequently about comparisons to our QBs, who have similar fates and playoff results......just different affections toward them.

Way to miss the point.

Parcells finally put Romo in at halftime after Bledsoe couldn't get a pass off before being sacked. There were calls for Romo to start well before that, but Parcells was reluctant to make the change. Romo finished the season as the starter and Parcells left that offseason.

Yeah this is more of people building an alternate reality in their minds. Romo was kept on the bench mainly because of his penchant for turnovers and his (relatively) weak arm along with his ..er.. freelancing play style which drove Parcells nuts. Parcells put him in basically because at that point he had nothing to lose. For all the romanticized storyline about when Romo got in the Cowboys only went 6-4 once he was inserted and bowed out of the playoffs on Romo's mishandling of the snap in Seattle. I will give Romo credit for energizing the team and the fan base but it wasn't till the end of 2013 that I started to believe he could actually lead the team anywhere.

Yep, Romo's first pass was an INT and he had 3 for the game. Yet, you could still feel there was something special about Romo. If he could only avoid those high risk plays that often turned into TOs. Unfortunately, that was what made Romo special, you had to take the good with the bad and unfortunately it probably robbed him of more success in his results.

The mishandled snap really hurt his image and how people viewed him. He never should have gotten any blame for that, yet that dogged him his whole career. (honestly, even if we scored the FG, I still believe Seattle would have marched down the field and won the game...there was too much time on the clock, and we couldn't stop their offense).

I dunno man.. Seattle only scored 3 times in that game. I'd say the defense did just fine stopping them more often than not. I certainly would have liked to have taken my chances with a lead and what amounted to a minute left in the game. Remember before the 20 yarder on that last drive they had held Alexander to around 2 yards per carry!

Maybe, i just remembered that the last 1-3 drives (memory is a little faded) they were moving the ball at will and the feeling that we left way to much on the clock and it was inevitable that we would lose with a FG there instead of a TD.

It maybe wishful thinking, but I always believed if Witten scored on the play before (or if Romo crossed the plane on the bubbled snap) we would have at least made it to the SB that year. And at the very least Romo's career trajectory would have been better. Just my opinion.

I agree. I think Romo spent a lot of his career trying to atone for that play. And I think whenever the wheels came off for him somewhere in the deepest regions of his mind there was a lot of "Why does this keep happening to me?" going on. I think that snap and the opportunity he let slip through his fingers haunted him. And always will.

I’m a fan of people getting paid. I can’t stand you but even I encourage you to know your worth and get your money. Get it all Khiladi….I hope in 2025 all your dreams are fulfilled and you become happier.

You are the guy who tried to pretend like Romo didn’t have anyone who was an All Pros before coming here…..it’s a lie and a myth based on Laurent Robinson…


I don’t evaluate qbs but if I did….you tell me who’s right. The guy who said Dak was a top 10 QB or the guy who said Dak sucks? Check the credentials. Take it up with the All Pro voters.

buddy; I’ve been owning you on QB play since day 1. What is right as usual is Dak continues to implode right on schedule and you recycling the same excuses I said you would…

Romo literally saved Parcells reputation from being a failure here. People forget that NY Giants players were flying down on game day to support him on the sidelines.

And his defenses were still getting owned in December, because his guys like Brandie James, “pro bowl” guy, paired with Akin Ayodele were getting smoked by Jon Kitna on basic screen passes. Then Sean Payton played against them and toyed with the defense.

The game completely passed Parcells by from a coaching perspective.

Then Romo was saddled with Jason Garrett who had zero experience calling plays. The only reason Garrett got a job with the Giants is because of Mara and if it weren’t for that, he would have gotten fired 5 games into the season with Joe Judge canned Columbo as the OL coach, because the Giants rushing attack was last in the league.

Of course the Dak fanboys when all was said and done after hating on Romo so much, thinking Dak was gonna get them somewhere, started to use the valid reasons that Romo actually had for Dak, like Jason Garrett calling plays:

Yet Jerry Jones banished Garrett completely from the offense, in 2014 when Linehan came.

You said Dak sucks. I said he was top 10. He has been a top 10’QB so no you have been wrong. Only let you have to stand on is when he’s struggling or goes out with an injury you pump your just out. He was an All Pro. You lost. End of story. Change your stance to he’s not a SB winning qb so you can be right and pretend like you know football.

I'm still angry about that play and if everybody remembers that game it was the play before with Jason Witten where they called it not a first down at the one yard line and it was a first down and replay is showed it's a first down and yet they didn't agree...

it was a first down from my viewpoint, Whit was as angry and red as ive ever seen arguing that 1st down, and secondly I'm sorry but bill Parcells should not have his starting quarterback who is really sweaty tired why was he even the holder most people have to punters are the holders or some guy off special teams but not your starting quarterback!!

I feel like that was a dumb coaching mistake anyway his philosophy using his quarterbacks as holders and do remember the WD40 ball I mean they call it the kicking ball but that thing looked brand new IT also looked oiled up and I don't know about conspiracies but there's a lot of crap that happened in that minute span at the end of that game that makes me question who they really wanted to win that game because I still think it was a first down I think the ball was oiled up and the Cowboys lost the game in another controversy as usual...

Look I remember that game like it was yesterday but if my old memory is not clear but if memory serves me right that was a first down they were arguing that was the first time before the field goal Jason Witten got that ball to the first down marker and they just didn't give it to him on a replay but I believe that would have been first in goal I realize what you mean if he would have got in but he didn't need to get in from memory that should have been a first down he was arguing about it they did a replay and they didn't give it to him we should've never been kicking with that greased up ball with a sweaty holder in our quarterback so that game still is one of the ones that makes me angry thinking about all the stuff that went down as usual the Cowboys ended the game in controversy but I'm pretty sure we only needed a first down and I know we could have built more clock and I'm pretty sure we'd have got in the end zone or close to it instead we were kicking a field goal again on the refs...

Also despite what people say, personal wise, i think we have a top 3 offense on paper . Finally using zone blocking we are a solid blocking OL, a top 3 receiver, top 3 TEs and a good RB (if actually used). I feel KM would have this offense clicking and we'd be in the playoffs.
I don't expect Philly to fully show up.
Wash might give us a better game.

Top 3 in the division?

If....Zimmer had Overshown and installed his system from TC, how good would we be?
The only thing the offense lacked this year was coaching, as in game prep, execution, discipline, blocking scheme, play calling, game management, and ACCOUNTABILITY!
A QB.
Conference.
