That's essentially the crux of past hypocrisy but this specific form of nonsense didn't remotely begin with Romo either. Short-sighted narrow viewpoints have been problematic with evaluating sports and athletes forever.

I hope the front office can fix some deficiencies and re-enforce the roster once and for all. And soon. Too many brain farts keep toxifying practically every quarter of every game in some form or fashion. A questionable coaching decision here. A bonehead penalty there. Talent not transferring into production (one example was Butler not hauling in a perfectly thrown touchdown pass). Firing on all cylinders. Sputtering too often. Inconsistency is the bane of success.

Coaches should get their share of criticism. Some players (plural) should get theirs as well. Crucial drives short-circuited, sometimes multiple times within the same possession (I swear Doug Free has some sort of death wish or something). Etc. etc. This has been going on far too long. Honest observers can take every game that ended in a win or loss, dissect them quarter by quarter, possession by possession, and easily make a list of miscues that had some form of negative impact. Doesn't happen though.

Too many previous lists of blame have been far too abbreviated. The big picture of 60 minute contests are routinely ignored or dismissed. More often than not, the teams playing the best football for the most minutes of every game win. TEAM does not equal ONE player in football. It never has.

This is turning into a manifesto. Go Prescott. Go Cowboys! Good luck Romo.

Excellent post my friend.

Romo did not get this title right away. The height of this narrative was when we started to lose that last game of the season for the defacto NFC East title game. He lost 2 of those.Might have started to creep up around 2008 after 44-6 and the meltdown to end that season. I don't even recall this after the 2006 Seattle loss and 2007 Giants loss. At least, not nearly what it grew into later on.

Dak has a long way to go before he even enters the realm of how often Romo did it.

But if Dak continues to do this, then yes, that narrative and label will be placed on him. It's the nature of sports in general. Matt Ryan held that label for a very long time. Marino and Elway did, too. Even though Elway was at least in the Super Bowls.

Dirk got this label, too. It will happen eventually if this keeps happening.

Besides a couple of throws, Dak had about as good of a game as you could have. Heck, his stats were right there with Rodgers. Rodgers just made one more pass than Dak. Dak missed the 3rd and 3 on our final drive. Rodgers comes back and gets his 3rd and 20.

do you have an ex in farmers branch? must be a weird spot for you. i'd much rather attack frisco than farmers branch. frisco seems more plastic.

also no i dont live in FB... i actually live far from it in philosophy but close by in location.

and just a quick check on posts you've made in past about DAK. sure there is more....


" Or it could be that they don't like watching a rookie piss away a division title and home field advantage?

That would be my guess."


"However, I will give the Dak fan boys some latitude tonight. They are all a little edgy because their boy choked like a dog with division championship t-shirts waiting in the lockerroom."


"Wins and quarterback play are two different things............Dak has played like crap for 3 games, averaging only 166 yards and 2-24 on third downs. That is the issue and the problem right now."

"Now can a team still win with a QB playing like crap, absolutely......but it doesn't change the fact he is still playing like crap.........see Chicago Bears and Rex Grossman."


Quick to dismiss Dak arent you?


DAK HATER ALERT!

ON NOTICE.

Context...........any fool can scan and lift a line out of a random post without realizing the context in which it was written. Many of those are from posts that happened when Dak started struggling, take this quote for example.

"Dak has played like crap for 3 games, averaging only 166 yards and 2-24 on third downs. That is the issue and the problem right now."

If you would have bothered to learn the context in which that was written it was during the time Dak was struggling and playing poorly. I even listed his stats for everybody to see, like passing for only 166 yards and being 2-24 on third down. There were even polls on this site asking each week if Romo should start again and Jerry was talking about it publicly as well. He even admitted that he did it to keep the team in the news cycle. So everybody in the media and on this site was debating the issue.

Yes, for a 3 game stretch where the offense was struggling and we converted just 2-24 third downs, many people were saying we should go back to Romo. Again, if you would have bothered to note that even in that quote I said...."that is the issue and the problem RIGHT NOW".

I clearly listed what the problem was at that time and indicated that if that performance continued then Dak should be benched. However, Dak overcame his rough patch starting with Tampa and then Detroit. And if you would again had bothered, you would have seen that I have made many post since then supporting Dak.

See, this is your problem. You try to do a drive by hit to score some points by lifting quotes without any context or time frame in order to prove your warped sense of reality. I just exposed you in like 4 paragraphs so move along. You are going to have to up your game if you want to take on BEAST.

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.

Only an idiot would put this in Dak at any level

This was a team loss brought in by poor coaching and a bad defense

And what is the record of our HC in elimination games?

Exactly

How do I search for what doesn't exist? What phrase should I look for?

I get it I get, you can stick together with your head in the sand. To each his own.

 

[SultanOfSix]

Our D never gave Dak a last chance.

Gee, this sounds familiar as an "excuse" that isn't often accepted by those on your side of the fence. I don't know what it could be. Perhaps, if we replaced "Dak" with another name?

Our D never gave humanity a chance.

Your "saving face" attempt is pretty lame here. But carry on Mr "faux Dak supporter". Lmao

Again, the media is largely gushing over Dak after the game. He is not getting the Romo treatment at all.

I take it then you can't provide any actual evidence of your claims. As I expected.

Captain comeback didn't win every time, he got picked in SB X trying to bring the Cowboys back in the final moments. Our D never gave Dak a last chance.

Just like they never gave a chance to Tony and to Dak on Sunday.
Great QB play doesn't always translate to winning football in Dallas.

 

[StarOfGlory]

I say Romo will never know what it feels like to be Dak because Dak will win a Super Bowl with this team.

Tony's had chances, he had a chance against the Giants in the 2007 playoffs but it ended in a INT. Not trying to blame him because it was a 4th down play and he had to force the ball in desperation and Crayton made two huge mistakes but he did have a chance in that game with the ball. He had a chance against Washington in the 2012 season finale but turned the ball over. Dak is a much more steady, poised QB than Romo ever was and if that angers some Romo FANS, I'm sorry but that's just my honest opinion.

Dak doesn't have the turnover issues and is a better decision maker in pressure situations, we saw that against Philly early in the season, against Green Bay both times and Pittsburgh. You don't see nearly as many mistakes with him and when he does make a mistake it doesn't rattle him and he doesn't compound it with another and another. It's been remarkable how well he maintains his composure in dire situations. He's going to be a great NFL QB.

 

[dfense]

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

And so comes the blame everyone else remarks to.
