Romo needed more weapons.
Agreed. Romo did need more weapons. After last year, so does Dak. The Cowboys got him some weapons. The offense should be better. My biggest concern is the Oline. If Tyron Smith and Terence Steele can stay healthy, the Oline should be much better improved. They need to dominate to help Dak, the RBs, TEs and WRs do their thing on the field.

My only concern on the oline is Tyron and I hope he can last at least 8-9 games.

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.
You are crazy if you think romo wasnt good enough.
Eli was? He wasnt better than romo. He had a better team and coach.
Dak very well could be in the same boat.

Lol... could if, would of, should of don't mean jack.....if Romo was good enough he would of won, he didnt. Eli did win....big difference. You can place the blame where ever you want..the coach, the ownership, the surrounding players, the weather, his girlfriends time of the month, his zodiac sign etc Lol.

Eli will always be remembered as the 1st player selected in the 1st round and a superbowl winning QB...that's just simple history......

We dont have the end game on Dak yet (unfortunately) but I sure dont expect him to improve at this stage of his career.

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.
So they think Dak is a great qb. Not that every qb is a great qb. Those are two different arguments lol.

Yeah because Dark and Payton have a similar skill set. . . Talk about Wishful Thinking
Yeah, because I was implying Romo and Dak have the same skill set as Peyton. :rolleyes:

Was just pointing out even the great ones can choke it up consistently. Never means it’s over.

Something I’ve discovered as the decades go on in sports, especially with so much parity, is when you least expect it, your team goes all the way.

It doesn’t matter? A GM wasting pick after pick. No Cowboys QB in the Super Bowl era has had to deal with such stupidity. Never mind perfection, but some competence would’ve been nice. Aikman and Staubach both had loaded teams and consistency on top of quality coaching and decision making because they would be in the same boat without those things.

Now imagine both guys with Jerry’s drafts from 2007 on at the height of their careers. And instead of Landry or Jimmy Johnson we’ll throw in the no experience Jason Garrett or the cupcake Wade Phillips. There was a legit management problem here. It’s pretty comical to think the QB should’ve won a championship considering the bumbling front office!!

Okay. You can have your lazy take on it.

You are saying romo wasnt lucky enough to have the team win for him like eli. Or Flacco. Or Johnson. A host of very average qbs not better than romo.
Marino never won a super bowl god he sucks.

T.O., Terry Glenn, Miles Austin, Dez and Witten. That's 5 pro-bowlers, 4 all-pros and two gold jackets he got to throw to. He also played with the Cowboys single game and single season rushing record holder for 4 of his 8 seasons as the starter. What Romo really needed was better defense and a little more patience to sling it less and hand it off more. And yes, better coaching.. but maybe that explains the previous bullet point.

The one year I thought Romo and the coaches finally got it was the year Murray ran for all those yards. Unfortunately it lasted only one year.

This is a "what if" argument. It can't ever hope to beat a "what is" argument.

Yep. It's always Murrays fault or someone else's fault. What about all the bad playoff games that was Romo's fault? Of course he didn't have any. lol

Romo had nothing to do with making those guys who they were.

Never said romo was without fault you said murray and a bunch of yards. It was just a reminder of one play....one fateful terrible play that swung the game.

Theres not usually just one play or guy that loses a game. And thats true for this one. But that play...probably cost murray and us a td.....he was bolting for the endzone. Pack scored on the to before half. Then scored again on 2nd half ko.

Again....i told you......i liked him. Mkay? You are trying to pin something on me i never said nor insinuated.

I mean, Flacco had one of the greatest post seasons in history, Johnson had one of the greatest defenses ever, and Eli, man his WRs bailed him out with 2 of the greatest playoff catches ever.

The big theme here is. Those 3 QBs you just brought up had ALL WORLD defenses.
