Dak Prescott Is 1 of 5 QBs In The Super Bowl Era To Go Winless In 3 Or More Divisional Round Games. Romo Was The Last QB

Since their last Lombardi Trophy was hoisted at the conclusion of Super Bowl XXX, the Cowboys have yet to return to the NFC Championship Game, posting a dismal 0-7 mark in the Divisional Round. Three of those losses, including last season's defeat against the San Francisco 49ers, have come with Prescott under center, as he's become one of five QBs in the Super Bowl era to start three or more divisional tilts and go winless.

Who was the last to do so?

Well, it was current CBS analyst and former Cowboys QB1 Tony Romo, who Prescott succeeded in Dallas. The Cowboys are the only franchise with two quarterbacks to play in three or more Divisional Round games without winning one. Long gone are the days of Hall of Fame Cowboys greats Roger Staubach and Troy Aikman, whose reputations were borne of playoff conquests and clutch play that saw them go 5-2 and 4-1, respectively, in the Divisional Round. Those days of Cowboys QBs captaining their squads to long postseason runs have ridden off into the sunset so far this century.

I forget, are you an Eagles fan or a Commanders fan?

Everybody is looking in the wrong direction.

What is the common thread?

Different coaches, different teammates, different offensive philosophies.....but what is not different?

When a franchise is not focused and is consistently unable to rise to the occasion of the playoffs, where does the accountability begin? What position in the franchise do you look at first?

As I said...

Hitching your wagons to undrafted/4th round talent at the most important position in sports is loser stuff.

lol your saying brady is loser stuff !

And you're still here! Lol

The comparisons have been offered repeatedly when arguing Dak's worth as an "elite" (or top) quarterback. And the only reason it is offered is because someone is trying to make the argument that Dak is doing just as well with Dallas as Mahomes is doing with KC.

Why just last week someone offered a stat that Dallas' offense ranked near KC's offense in efficiency the past two seasons, IIRC.

What other reasons would there be to offer such stats?

The implication is Dak is doing as well as Mahome is. Maybe they don't come out and say it, but my momma didn't teach me to think yellow rain when someone is pissing on my shoes.

We know why posters offer these comparisons.

That's a completely different argument. Someone saying Dak is a great qb is different than saying all qbs are the same.

 

[America's Cowboy]

He’s much older because he bashed Romo for about 10 years going back to the official Dallas Cowboys sites forum . He basically was trolling Romo much like some of these are trolling Prescott now.

You're full of it, Greg. You and so many (including mods) from the old site who were hard-core Romo fanatics would attack anyone who would question Romo's turnovers and poor performances, especially during key games, along with his off-the-field actions. Y'all tried to silence any Romo criticism to the point one would get suspended for a lengthy amount of time or even perma-banned. Y'all are the same ones now on this site who bash Dak and still defend Romo's past performances even though Romo has long been retired for 7 years now. It got so one-sided badly controlled that a new female moderator took several months to investigate years of poor performance that she came back and admonished everyone in charged and eventually shut the whole site down. Very similar to what y'all are doing here now.

Don't segment my argument.
Again, if Dak isn't on Mahomes' level, why compare the stats of the two quarterbacks?
When one compares, one is trying to draw a distinction of likeness.
That's what a comparison is.

Replace every “Romo” with “Dak” and every “Dak” with “Romo” and you literally described yourself.

You can’t make this up lololol

No, I was a normal critic for Romo then while calling out the extremes and trolling . I was actually banned for calling out those crying over his sob story letter of resignation.

And now I actually defend Prescott against the extreme criticism and troll like behavior while offering normal criticism. You have liked most of these post I’ve made, some in your threads.

You’ve become an extreme Prescott defender much like those Romo defenders.

 

[Jarntt]

Of the three games Dak played I would only blame him for the game last season against the 49ers. The defense blew both the Rams and Packers games. You could blame Romo for the Giants game because Eli clearly out played him but Minnesota was a better overall team and the Dez caught it game was ridiculous.

Here’s my thing. I can’t argue with your reasoning but I’m not looking for a QB to “not be the reason we lost”. I’m looking for a QB to play so well that he is the reason we win big games. That’s how you win a super bowl. It may sound subtle but it’s a big difference. if it happens once in his career it will have all been worth it. I’m hoping a little bit simpler offense will suit him better and I think that is what McCarthy/Schottenheimer will do this year. What gives me the most hope are the two trades we made because I think if those two guys were on the field we beat SF last year.

 

[Diehardblues]

What we do know is he’s from West Virginia area. Once I pointed this out from his profile page he blocked anyone from seeing his personal info and current activity . That’s always been a Red Flag but it’s always possible a mere coincidence

You make a good point. When I defend Dak I take issue with people saying he is a bad quarterback. Dak is limited that is why he was a 4th round pick but he has developed into a top 10 quarterback that cannot be challenged. This Cowboys team is the best team Dak has played with in his 7 seasons as the Cowboys quarterback. He needs to play better in pressure moments.

This rachere sez it all. Dak is finally surrounded by a really good team. Early in his career he piloted a monster offense while trying to hide a sketchy defense. In 2019 the defense started to get better but the offense took a dive when they tried to pivot from riding Zeke to riding Dak. We won't talk about 2020 but these last two years I feel like we've seen them building towards something special. They've had the best offense in football when healthy and the defense is closing in on top 5 status. All we can do as fans is hope they stay healthy.. If they are able to do that I have little doubt this team will be in the playoffs well into January and maybe February if we catch a break or two. But it's about the team.. always has been.. always will be. The QB is a big part of it.. but he simply is not all of it.. no matter what softheads try to peddle here.

This is the best team we have had since the 90s. With 3 cover corners and good safety play, Quinn will be able to fully unleash the pass rush. The defense was unstoppable in the playoffs and we were missing a second corner and defensive tackle. Look out!!!!!

This AC guy...like some pols.....accuse everyone else of doing exactly what he does.

I think he gets a check.

The thing is...it's hard to follow some of these "softheads". Some of the guys that vehemently defend dak under ANY circumstance (or sure...some rare vague critique)...

Will accuse romo of a bad playoff record. Or some coach approved time off. I think they think it settles the matter in regards to Dak. But the logic is so inconsistent, so hypocritical, even when they appear to make a good case you can;t take them seriously.

 

[Bing]

Doesn't help when Romo was dealing with probably the worst management I think I've ever seen from a professional football team. This was pre Will McClay so the decisions were a special kind of stupid... Way back when Dallas was winning Super Bowls, the drafts, the coaching and the team building were night and day but Romo apparently didn't need any of that. He had Garrett, Jerry and Wade Phillips building a powerhouse with that special teams draft and the RW trade. That's 15 draft picks down the toilet in 2 years and people blame the QB? lol

It dosen't matter. None of the QB's Dallas has played since Troy have been good enough to win a superbowl even if they had the perfect players and coaches around them. That's exactly what these younger fans don't understand.

Romo was a walk on 3rd string QB. He was given a chance to play and he did his best but everyone knew he would never take the Cowboys anywhere. Fast forward to today and we are dealing with the same thing. Dak was drafted in the 4th round to be a back up QB for the Cowboys. He was also given a chance to play but time and time again he has proven he dosen't have the skill to take the team to the promise land.

Was it Romo's fault? Is it Daks fault? No I dont blame them directly or totally, they played to the best of their ability. It's just their ability is not high enough to reach the goal every fan wants from a football team. You cant put a back-up type QB in a starting QB position and expect things to work out except on very rare dream like occasions.

Tony is loved by the fans for the way he played the game. He won a lot of big regular season games, whereas Wentz 2.0 has lost a lot of big regular season games. Wentz 2.0 has made a name for himself by the way he has built up his stats against toads in the league or against a lot of prevent defenses because the Boys were down early thanks to our skittish QB's play with all the 3 and outs or turnovers.

Romo needed more weapons.
