Dak Prescott is at 25k passing yards and on pace to break Romo's 34k franchise record

[5Stars]

Yeah I want both. It doesn’t have to be either or. You have options lol.

My option is the SB. I don't care how it gets done and I don't care about individual stats...that is my option.

No Problem My Dude

It's all good, just having a little fun with my Cowboy fans.

Dak Prescott is roughly at 25k (24,943) career passing yards for the Dallas Cowboys after 7 seasons (6 full seasons of play; 1 season loss total due to injuries).



Tony Romo is the Dallas Cowboys all-time passing leader with 34,183 passing yards after 11 seasons (9 full seasons of play; 2 seasons lost due to injuries).

Combine the 2006 season, when Romo took over as starter for the remaining 10 games - and 2010, when Romo started the first 6 games before being injured - 2006+2010 combined = one full season as the starting QB.
2007-09, then 2011-14 are 7 full seasons when Romo was the starting QB from basically the beginning to the end (out 3 games in 2008, 1 each in 2013 and 2014).
So really Romo tallied 8 seasons as the Cowboys starter, with 2 seasons missed for injuries...2015 and 2016.
127 regular season starts in Romo's career ÷ 16-game regular season schedule...averages out to 8 full seasons (7.94).

Tony Romo is the Dallas Cowboys all-time passing leader with 34,183 passing yards after 11 seasons (9 full seasons of play; 2 seasons lost due to injuries).

If Dak stays healthy and gets a contract extension, he would only need to average a very doable and well balanced 3,200 passing yards the next 3 seasons to accumulate enough passing yards to break Romo's franchise passing yards total record by about 300 yards.

Will Dak break Romo's career franchise passing record and become the Dallas Cowboys career leader in passing yards?

Once again, it's not seasons, but games started.

Romo started 127, Prescott has started 97.

Prescott needs 9240 yards in the next 30 games to equal Romo. That is a 308 yards a game average. Prescott is currently averaging 257 for his career.

That’s cool. I want a SB and stats. I want Micah to break the single sack record…..I want Dak to throw 40 TDS. I want a ring. I want it all.

Why does he have to do it in 30 games?

Sounds like an excuse is being set up for when Dak becomes the Cowboys franchise passing leader in 2025.

I just hate that losers own these records because of the way the game has changed.

At least we still have a winner like Emmitt on the rushing side of things.

Same with NBA. All these new guys never had to face defenders like the 80s Detroit Pistons and the lack of rules protecting them from just being touched.

just got to keep things in proper prospective.

Prescott has a slim chance to eclipse the yardage record in 2024.
4,600 yds in both seasons is a stretch.
The franchise all-time TD passes mark will take an additional season = 2025.
Romo - 248; Prescott - 166 = 83 needed.

I'd rather Dak break Troy's SB winning record.

 

[12+88=7]

Why does he have to do it in 30 games?

To be equivalent. As an example, Eli Manning is among the top passers all time, but he did it by playing more games. There are QBs further down on the list that were more prolific passers, but they have less yards passing.

Prescott will have to play this year and next to pass Romo. If Dallas doesn't win a championship in that time frame the end of the 2024 season maybe the end of the Prescott era in Dallas.

I'd rather Dak break Troy's SB winning record.

If Dak wins SB MVP leading the Cowboys to a title then that trumps all these meaningless stats.

 

[shabazz]

The only stat I need to see improve is a playoff win-loss record

2-4 needs to get to either 5-4 or 6-4 depending on if we enter as a wild card or better

This could be that year.

Yes (barring career-ending injury \ Prescott exits Dallas after 2024).

Few NBA players have ever played as dirty as Bill Laimbeer did.

True, but those other cats were pretty brutal too.

the only thing sadder than the over-restrictive NBA rules are the soft players that take off games in the name of “Load Management “ so they can miss games to stay at the crib and play video games, lol.

2023 + 2024 regular season games = 34.
9,240 yds ÷ 34 games = 272 yds per game average.
Barring missing games due to injury or sitting out the season finale each year....breaking the yardage record has a slim possibility of happening in 2024.

That’s insane though. Essentially Romo wasn’t even the backup when he came into the league. Dak started his first year. People dismiss that when factoring in stats but Dak would’ve probably had a much better career starting off had he sat like Romo did.
