Already seeing around the Internet, Dak is 0-1 in "elimination games"

Ha, that stat was created for Romo and now Dak is inheriting it. Just like Romo, it doesn't matter what numbers Dak puts up or that he is the first rookie QB to throw 3 TD passes in a playoff game, or that he balls out but the defense cant stop a nose bleed, all that matter is 0-1 in elimination games now.

Welcome to Romo's world Dak, as long as you wear the star you are going to get the same treatment and if you lose your next playoff game and go 0-2 in elimination games, we are going to start hearing the same thing we hard them say about Romo......."Dak is a great regular season QB, but he chokes in elimination games".

You guys know its coming.

That wasn't on Dak that was on Mr terrible Clock management coach and piss poor defense in the first half.

No.

If Dak would have thrown a pick 6 or fumbled at the end of the game when we were trying to tie or take the lead, then people would have compared him to Romo.
That's not to slam Romo because he's been great here. But believe me, if Dak would have choked at the end, the Dak is Romo in disguise memes would have broke the internet.
Trolls had them ready to go the minute it would have happened.

For the most part no one is blaming Dak for today. Actually, everyone seems to be impressed with Dak and his promising future.

But Dak himself seems to be a fan favorite even of people who don't even like this team. I hear a lot of "I hate the Cowboys but I want to see Dak succeed" type comments.

You can play a fool's game using his foolish standards, or your own...

Right. Fair or unfair........Romo is in a league of his own.

I think one of the reasons Romo got the hate from non-Cowboys fans early one was his "celebrity" QB persona.
To a non Cowboys fan, he came off as some young cocky dude who went all Hollywood.

Dak seems more down to earth type of guy. He comes across as more like that boy next door who is willing to help an old lady cross the street .

Because of this, I think he will not get the same unfair hate that Romo got early in his career.

Dak didn't choke, so unless people begin to rewrite history, this game will be remembered for a poor defensive performance,and some questionable coaching decisions.

Plus his story a 4th round draft pick who lost his mother makes him hard to hate

Like Romo, Dak is thus far saddled, weighed down, joined to the hip, wedded and joined in holy matrimony to a substandard defense that cannot stop Aaron Rodgers or any top shelf QB in the playoffs.

Jerry and Stephen need to get busy changing this. It's too late for Romo. It's NOT too late for Dak.

They had 11 years to fix it for Romo, but couldn't manage it.

Why do you think the Jones Boys can do it now?
