Aikman said Romo was a better QB than he was. I don't think you'll ever hear him say the same about Dak.
Romo had some talented teams (never a complete one) but also some awful teams compared to Dak. Romo made no-name receivers better. Anyone remember Laurent Robinson and Terrance Copper? Sorry, but Dak doesn't do the same. He needs talent at that position to succeed. That's because he's simply not as accurate, good at reading defenses, and delivering the ball as fast (quick release) as Romo. I don't think it's a coincidence that Dak's best winning season as QB was his rookie season with Romo on the sidelines with him. You think Garrett or Wade Wilson had anything to do with it?
The problem with Romo was he took more chances and was snake-bit, but the latter was also partially due to having average coaching or worse throughout his career (except for Parcells) and trying to do more than necessary to make things happen.
