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

[Swagger]

Will do, thanks for more advice.

Wonder if Jerry would be alive to see it...

Billions of dollars can secure, two, three liver transplants. Tops.

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.

yeah but that was the year romo was out most of season.

 

[DandyDon52]

Romo also played behind one of the best OL's in NFL history, and still won nothing.

and so did dak, the problem was the worst hc in JG.
2014 and 2016 could have been SB years if not for JG and marinelli, who made the defense pretty bad.

Understood but a good team doesn't go WINLESS just because their QB is out. Even the Pats use to manage to win without Brady.

I don't think those were championship teams but with a better head coach.....who knows what they could've done.

I’m not denying what he’s saying. I’m just saying that’s a weird flex. He only made the playoffs four times so to have so many chances to make the playoffs but didn’t is not a accomplishment.

Bro they don't know what weird flex means lol

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

Bro they don't know what weird flex means lol

Oh....they gonna figure it out lol.

 

[Vtwin]

It’s not disingenuous. The team won 4 games. Just because you don’t have Romo does not give you an excuse to go winless. If you go winless you are a bad team. Dak got hurt and we still were able to win. But y’all have been spoon fed by the Garrett era to think you can’t win unless your team is 100 percent healthy. That is a bad team. Plain and simple. 2015 was a bad team.

Lol.

This is why we can't have an honest conversation.

Ridiculous.

 

[Vtwin]

I mean Romo was 1-3 or 1-4 when he got injured. So it wasn't like we was lighting it up that year with him

Romo was 3-1.

 

[America's Cowboy]

Romo was 3-1.

Nope. In 2010, Romo started 1-4 with the Cowboys before he got injured. That was a legit dookie by Romo.

What does 2010 have to do with this exchange?

 

[foofighters]

To be fair to Romo. If you put Aikman behind some of the OL Romo had to play behind he probably would have retired earlier than he did lol.

Too often people forget that Aikman played with one of the greatest teams ever assembled.

 

[DandyDon52]

in 2014 dallas would have played seattle had they beat GB, and they had already beat seattle in seattle that year.
So good chance they would have went to SB, and if that was the year a weak denver team was afc champ , then they would have won it.

 

[Wangchung83]

Yet he still sucks. Give him participation award and move on. He needs A+++ talent around him to do anything and then when he does start moving the ball we are out of the game.

 

[Wangchung83]

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.

Nope sb and the individual stats can take a hike. It’s a team sport not golf, track, tennis. It’s football, so get a ring or get out

 

[America's Cowboy]

I thought you were talking about how Romo never started with a losing record before getting injured, so I brought up 2010 as a reminder.

We were talking about the ridiculous notion that Dak took over a bad team and lifted it to a great regular season as a rookie. One of our less gifted forum members was referencing 2015 as a bad team because injuries at key positions, combined with the same very average defense we've suffered through until recently combined to a very poor record and a fifth overall draft pick.

2015 was a good team which suffered a few catastrophic setbacks. Romo managed a 3-1 record. The defense gave up 39 points in his one loss. Romo doesn't go down and WR1 doesn't go down and that team is easily a playoff team, behind the still gelling o-line. They had SB aspirations going in to the season, built on the success of 14, with the loss of Murray being the only significant roster change.

The o-line really hit its stride in 16, and with the #5 pick RB managed the second most rushing yards in the league, taking a significant load of the rookie QB.

In no way, shape, or form did Dak "take over a bad team."

If that 2015 team was so good, why did it end up 4-12 once Romo was lost due to injuries? Heck, even last years team where Dak missed 5 games due to a broken thumb, Cooper Rush was able to go 4-1, all signs of a very good team. For the 2015 team to go 1-11 once Romo went down, it proves that team absolutely stunk. Those are the facts. Accept it and move on already.

Naw we can’t because it you think that 2015 was good you’re not being truthful.
