Dak Is Only One Divisional Title Away From Romo's Total

[Irvin88_4life]

Romo was the best player on his teams, Dak is not.

Sorry but Ware and Witten in their primes were better than Romo. Both of them are hall of fame players, Romo is not. Nice try though

 

[Irvin88_4life]

Staubach no starts in yr 3 either, what does that mean exactly? This team is Super Bowl Championship caliber this year, can Dak throw some td’s to put these teams away or is he just going to continue passing for 160 yards? Dak is managing the bus but he is also holding it back.

Stop with the Dak passing only 160 yards. He has thrown 455 yards in a game. Was Wilson holding his team back when he threw for only 72 yards? What about Brees when he plays Dallas?

The Broncos game Escobar again hangs his QB out to dry by running his route flat instead of across the face of the DB allowing the DB to undercut him. Both of those are Receiving 101 situations. As simple as it gets.

On that INT against Denver, a Cowboys lineman stepped on Romo's foot just before he threw, causing the throw to be off-target.

Mods/admins. can we put a limit on this sort of drive-by posting? The OP starts a thread with minimal wording, then tucks tail and runs, never participating in the thread again. This should be unacceptable.

Are you satisfied with Dak or would you like someone who is a little more dynamic as a thrower?

Romo was trashed as much as Dak was on here. It was a 10 year fight to try and explain to the "I want Tom Brady Bunch" that its not realistic.

Really? Go read the talk about Romo on here and how we'd easily have a Super Bowl if he was under center compared to Dak. Which is ridiculous.

Romo was never even close to trashed like Dak has been. Our 2 wild card wins in 10 seasons hero!

Romo had his flaws but he was usually the reason the team won. He overcame others making mistakes and penalties and the defense never stopping anyone. Dak is the opposite. The rest of the team has to overcome his mistakes and limitations. Then he might play well on a final drive and pull out a win. That’s not a formula for success. Teams need the QB to be a big part of the reason the team wins not the reason they lose or the game is close or having to have the team overcome their performance.

Well put.

Best players usually are making the most coin, that would be Romo. TE and LB ain’t cutting it as best player. QB stirs the drink and that is why they are the face of the franchise. All others are bit players.

Romo at 38 and 2 years retired is still way better than Dak has even shown potential to be.

Having said that, while he was playing I patented the term Romoception. Everyone should immediately be able to figure out what it means, but for the younger Dak fans I’ll spell it out. Imagine having the ball on a great drive, going into your opponents territory late in the 4th in a 1 possession game. Play it cool and you’ve won. Suddenly out of nowhere, Romo, who at the time would be like 29-35 for 315 and 2 tds, stares down his number 1 WR and just underhands the oddest pass to the cornerback undercutting the blatant 1-read play.

Remember the Jets game in 2010 when Romo lobbed that wounded duck to Revis who was in way better position than Dez? Remember in 2012 when Romo did it 2 drives in a row to GB who didn’t have Rodgers or a chance in hell to win that game? The infamous game where Romo checked out of a run to burn the clock and win the game... only to throw a pick. Oh! Oh! Remember that time he threw for 500 yards against Denver and should have beat Manning! Only to throw a pick at the worst time and lose by a field goal...

Having said that, Tony was generally pro bowl caliber and would be crushing people with today’s team. Could you imagine Romo to Cooper?

Romo to HOFer Terrell Owens couldn't win them jack squat.

Do you mean playoff wins? Romo has only two.


But why do pro-Dak posts have to be anti-Romo and pro-Romo posts anti-Dak? Can't we just delineate and say that both are Cowboys QBs to be evaluated and appreciated/criticized in their own right? Let's stop tying the two together.

The main connection is the scheme we run under Garrett. Who struggled less should be the real argument. One guy studied and matured longer before seeing the field, the other didn’t have that luxury. One was very aggressive, the other very conservative..

 

[Diehardblues]

Most of the Petty Dak Trolls wont give him a chance because they are Romo cry babies. They are upset that Romo quit and cant get over it.

There’s also a group of anti Romo guys who are leading the way for Dak.

The attacks on Romo are mostly from that core who can’t handle the criticism on Dak. Their core agenda is for Dak to surpass the success in Romo era.

Unfortunately both extremes much like during Romo era prevent sound discussions on the subject.

In the end Dak is likely to be a bigger winner than Romo while not being as prolific of passing QB. I’m not sure everyone grasps that reality?

You do realize the Cowboys could have more success with Dak than Romo but that won’t make Dak a greater QB, just a bigger winner?

If we can win a championship with Dak we’ll be satisfied.

Our tide has turned this era. We finally have a talented enough team less a top 10 QB.

Will it be enough ? Could be. We’re fixing to find out.

Romo was trashed in here as much as Dak has been. That's why it amazes me that Romo gets the defense he does now has became a legend since he's been gone.

Lmao, not true. QB are the most valuable position which makes them the most money. Not always the best player.

Lol...sb champion caliber? Now that is funny.

Hi!!!

Because sub-85 IQs are too common.

Division titles are won by teams. Romo is a much much MUCH better qb than Dak is now and appears he ever will be.

 

[Fla Cowpoke]

Romo never had a defense close to this level of talent. And while Romo did have a prime Witten and a good WR in TO and Bryant....he made the receivers better than they were. The difference is the OL level of talent was some of the worst ever put on a field. Costa. Nagy. Tucker. Marco Rivera...who broke as soon as we got him from Green Bay. Livings and Bernadeau. Jones actually said he didn't have to pay for OL because Romo was so good at avoiding the rush.

Not to mention the defenses. Jeremy Mincey and George Selvie as your sack leaders. Cast offs from other teams all across the DL like Hayden, Jack Crawford, Henry Melton, McClain...were starters or high snap count backups. Consistently horrible corners and safeties? Seriously? I wish there were a time machine to let Romo play the last three seasons.

I don't want him back now. He is done as a football player, but he is several levels above what Dak is. The only thing Dak is better at is running the ball. I hope and pray that Dak can develop pocket awareness and seeing the field better, because it pretty much seems JJ is locked into him long term.
