Pro bowls are largely fan votes, fans being able to vote multiple times. Whenever Dallas wins, they get them. Very few of these pro bowlers even sniffed a pro bowl until Romo was behind center. Romo didn’t play with many all-pros until 2014. Bradie James made the pro bowl and he was cheese in the passing game.
Guys like columbo wnd Davis were journeymen and busts. Gurode was part of a crew that allowed like 40 plus sacks in 10 games when Flozell Adama went down in 2005-2006.
Romo played effectively his whole career with Garrett as play caller.by the time Jerry even considered pulling the plug on Garrett, Dallas was bottom in the league in play action usage and running the ball.
The analogues are bogus. Dak walked into a situation where he had 3 all pros on OL who played a minimum of at least 2 years together in the same scheme. That OL continuity was unmatched. Zeke was averaging 5 yards a carry on first down and was leading the league like 3 years in a row against stacked boxes.
