Dak or Romo?

[KJJ]

We just going to pretend the defense doesn't exist? And sure, the 2014 defense probably wasn't ranked poorly but those overall rankings are always relative to yards and points per game, which the 2014 team didn't give up much of usually because we just dominated TOP. When team's really needed to score on us they could usually move the ball at will.

The defense was a problem then and this team has its share of defensive problems. We struggle against the run and the last two weeks we haven’t been able to protect a lead in the closing minutes.

I think Allen bought a little more leeway because he's played in a championship game before, but that only buys so much time. I think if he doesn't make it far this year then he'll fall out the top 5. I agree, this season those qbs performed better, but I'm talking overall career

Yeah overall careers yeah Dak, Lamar and Purdy wouldn’t be in my top 5.

Dak will go down in history as more accomplished and with better stats...

Big deal, stats, stats, stats! How about this stat? A Superbowl. Otherwise, throw those stats in the toilet.

Good regular season front running QBs. Not so much in the playoffs or when needed to be counted on. They pretty much stank up the joint!

A Super Bowl would be a stat McFly.

They have almost identical progression in stats as they have matured. This myth about surrounding talent is only because people choose to focus on a few players. Both had some great teams, strengths and opportunities on both. The main difference with their stat progression is because Romo came from a small school, and really had to develop first, while Dak was SEC and ready to go, he has three years on him. Romo was putting up a QB year like this at 33, not 30. So maybe we get some more out of Dak before it’s over. Playoff records are almost same too.

This . I waa thinking about looking at pro bowlers/all-pros by each side of the ball for each in their careers, because I believe that it will prove that they had a very similar cast around it. Coaching wasn't that much different for both either.

The good thing about nonsense posts like these is these games are all documented and archived. Romo won us games that we had no business winning also.

Dak doesnt do that. Name me 5 games in Daks career where we won a game we had no business winning (underdogs)

I mean yeah there are things that are fact...which makes it funny either side cant come to grips with they are the same QB so far, only diference is Dak can still change this...its hilarious watching each side pick an arb stat/ argument for either because ALL the facts show they are the same QB so far...meh so goes the best "What if" argument we have here bi weekly.. my 2 favorites "Romo always kept us in games" I mean i loved the guy but lets not forget he cost us plenty of games... "Dak doesnt turn the ball over being a gun slinger" well i love the guy but man ive seen some passes where i was like U'mm Dak just throw it out of bounds......

I loved watching Romo play the game, but his history of injuries combined with lack of overall playoff success will make for his career to be easily forgettable down the road.

I'd consider his and Dak's careers to be a push at this point. It remains to be seen if Dak can achieve anything to elevate himself to a different level.

I tend to agree. We had 7 offensive Pro Bowl players in 2007, including a HOF WR and HOF (to-be) TE.

 

[Kevinicus]

All Dak has to do is win one playoff game to have more playoff wins and appearances than Romo, and if he makes it the Championship game, which looks like a real possibility if we keep the 2nd seed, then I don't see how anyone can say Romo was better. Y'all seriously overrate Romo. As of right now, I think they're pretty much the same QB but Dak has time to pass him

Because teams win, not QBs. Duh.

Did you read the more accomplished part or did you go right to the stats part..

Marino was a shippy QB too.

 

[Tenkamenin]

The only thing I wish Dak had was Romo's pocket presence. Romo could sense a defender behind him and evade enough to make a huge play. Romo's pocket presence was my favorite thing about the guy. Dak walks right into a defender but sometimes could break away due to his size.

 

[TheMightyVanHalen]

A lot of people here are saying Romo with Daks roster.

Why single me out with this dog whistle responds?

Because dogs always come when you whistle.


People like you either have an agenda or have amnesia.

 

[TheMightyVanHalen]

Give me the QB that plus just as good on the road as he does at home and can figure out how to read a zone defense

Yes Dak has trouble with zone. No doubt about that, B. But let's not forget that Romo couldn't read a blitz to save his life, or he might have been even better.

Dak gets the deer in the headlights look and Romo threw water over his head when he knew he had no clue on what the D was doing. They are both overachievers. and both have amazing stats but with nothing to show for them.

The big difference is, Romo's legacy is already set in stone, where Dak is still chiseling his.

First time ever hearing this

A friend of mine asked me my thoughts on this subject. I asked a few friends and was a bit surprised by their reaponses. So I figured I’d ask the board. Who is the better QB?

Dak for the most part has played pretty darn good this year, but Tony is my choice for the better QB.

 

[Gonzomandela01]

Tony was a choker.

Agreed.

I only know because I posted a thread midseason comparing both of them. It really is uncanny how similar their stats, growth and their playoff opportunities mirror each other. Both different quarterbacks, but both were not first round talents, and got by with athletic ability and smarts or leadership, and needed time to develop. But so do all QBs, something we don’t always given them time to do.

Once again, the big difference is Dak has three years on Romo so by the time Romo was really learning how to be a great quarterback it was too late. Dak is a bigger guy than Romo and can take the punishment better, but he runs more, especially for downs and TDs, and is more susceptible to injuries caused by that such as his ankle snap he had a few years ago.
