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

[TheMarathonContinues]

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.

I agree. I don’t see him breaking it in 2024 but I also don’t understand why he has to lol.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

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.

Yeah but them old guys never had to face the athletic and speed freaks that are in the NBA.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

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

Yeah it is and it’s insane. Dak didn’t get the pleasure of sitting for a year or two. He had to learn on the go and learn from Jason Garrett….

 

[5Stars]

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.

Hell yes! Me too...

The team that Prescott inherited in 2016 and the team Romo inherited in 2006 were on opposite sides of the spectrum.

The 2016 offense had the best OL in both Prescott's and Romo's careers. Elliott was the offensive player of the year. The table was set, but Dallas lost in divisional.

The 2006 team wasn't even supposed to compete. Bledsoe was floundering and Romo injected energy into the team. The next year was Romo's second best behind 2014. But it was Romo that was driving the team.

That's the difference. Romo was the catalyst for the team. While 2016 was driven by the OL and Elliott.

How's this. When Dallas was trailing I always thought Dallas had a chance because they had Romo. When Dallas is trailing now I have doubts that Prescott could pull out a win.

It could be just me, but I don't have the confidence in Prescott that I used to have with Romo.

With the mishaps Romo had during his career I don't know how you could be confident in that.

And like I said above the scenarios were completely different. Romo was sat on the bench for a few years. Dak never had that. He came in as a rookie and had to learn on the fly. So yes a 26 year old Romo was more ready than a 23 year old Dak was.

Let's also remember that prior to Dak getting here they were 4-12. With that same great offensive line they went 4-12 with McFadden rushing for over 1k yards.

 

[GINeric]

I hope a winner comes along and breaks all these modern records that have been set because the league has changed.

Aikman or Staubach should own all the passing records.

Not losers like Romo and Dak.

Well the way the game is set up, alot of passing records will be broken by above average quarterbacks.

 

[shabazz]

That’s true as well. Besides MMA, most sports have become about safety, offensive scoring and optics.

I understand the safety part but taking away kickoff returns begrudges us from ever seeing those “Billy White Shoes Johnson” plays because the NFL doesn’t want the optics of the NFL to show the brutality of big hits on returns.

The NBA has also made sure that the constant hacking and muggings on players like Shaq won’t ever happen again and that’s why the Nicola Jokics of the world will be the most sought after.

moderation in everything is usually best but these leagues take things too far the other way to suit me.

 

[Rockport]

Oh, wow...if he does, bake him a cake. But, yeah, I get it, as long as he has them their stats. I want a SB, screw any passing yards.

Who pissed in your oatmeal? Everyone wants to win a Super Bowl not stats.

Is Prescott better than Cassel and Weedon, of course. Had Romo been the QB of the 2015 team they would have not been 4-12.

Interesting Romo fact. He never started a game in his career where Dallas was eliminated. If you go through history there aren't many QBs that can say that. Romo always kept Dallas in contention. Dallas always had a chance, a hope. As a fan isn't that all you want?

And yeah i'd like to think Dak was better than Weeden for sure. Matt Cassell as well. But I did think we'd do better than going winless in 2015 without Romo. That was insane.

But it does go to show you that team wasn't nearly as good as hyped up. But when you had Garrett as head coach your team is limited.

I'm not sure what you mean by eliminated? What do you mean?

LMAO! Right on cue...

Uhhh, the 2006 team was coming off of a 9-7 2005 team led by a HOF coach in Bill Parcells. That 2006 Cowboys team ended up with 8 Pro Bowlers. 2006 was Parcells 4th and last year in Dallas, and he had already had 3 years to rebuild and lay the foundation for Romo to inherit. It was so full of talent that the following year in 2007, the Cowboys ended up with a franchise record 13 Pro Bowlers.

Meanwhile, Dak inherited a 4-12 2015 team that was so bad, it only had 5 players make the Pro Bowl, that's because one of them was kicker Dan Bailey (that should tell you everything of how bad that 2015 team truly was......they has to settle for field goals). It took the Cowboys drafting two young studs in Dak and Zeke to help the Cowboys lead a previous 4-12 team to an unexpected 13-3 2016 season, landing 7 players in the Pro Bowl. The following years had its ups and downs with no season picking up more than 8 pro bowlers (2018 season), nowhere close to the 13 pro bowlers Romo had around him during his early years as a starter.

WTH? What kind of baloney is this??? Did you forget the back-to-back-to-back 8-8 Cowboys seasons (2011-2013) where Romo choked 2 of those end-of-season playoffs potential seasons away?

Every game he started Dallas wasn't eliminated from playoff contention. Dallas always had something to play for.

When those games kicked off Dallas was alive for a playoff spot. That's what that means.

 

[America's Cowboy]

Understood. That still doesn't mean what you said is true. Romo actually started 2 games (2011 & 2013) at the end of each season with the playoffs on the line which he choked away. It's indisputable. I don't understand how you could so willingly be so untruthful about that?

That’s odd that’s a weird flex. In13 years he’s been in the playoffs 4 times….

Why do you mention Pro Bowls. Those are worthless. Now if you say AP 1st team, then you are talking.

I said Dallas wasn't considered a contender because they didn't have a QB. Parcells was using retreads like Testerverde and Bledsoe because he trusted them and not Romo. If Parcells wasn't set in his ways and trusted the younger player Romo would have gotten a shot at the beginning of the year and not six games in.

Parcells at that point in his career was a shell of the coach he once was. That's why it was his last year of coaching.

Yeah that’s odd what he’s saying. That doesn’t sound right but maybe it’s going over my head.

This fact along with $5 will buy you a cup of coffee at Starbucks

$1 will get you a better cup of coffee at McDonald’s.

Some news…they get there coffee beans from the same place….
