You know what? In the grand scheme of things concerning the Dallas Cowboys, who cares who passed, or ran, tackled...for a number that does not mean a thing. The only number that us Cowboy fans want to see is the next SB......
I absolutely did not. The context which he (Mr. Deflection who can also be known as Mr. Disingenuous) introduced was some average receiver that Dak played with that necessitated the team to go after a first round pick still in his prime: Mr. Amari Cooper. I merely pointed out that there were multiple such receivers Romo played with that fit the same bill, some of whom he helped gain big contracts because of the numbers they put up with him as the QB that they did not duplicate elsewhere. These receivers weren't anywhere near first round picks, some of them being undrafted. I didn’t ignore TO or Glen because they simply weren’t relevant to that context, and the receivers I mentioned besides Crayton were starters with Romo after TO and Glenn were no longer with the team. There was never any claim made that Romo never played with any good receivers. Both TO and Glenn were good but they too were also past their prime when they played with Romo.
Universal amnesia might be a weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee bit of an exaggeration.
There’s no comparison to the average receivers we played with prior to the Amari Cooper trade in 2018 with some of the less than great receivers Romo had. Miles Austin, Patrick Crayton, and even Sam Hurd were better than Deonte Thompson and Allen Hurns. Thompson and Hurns were two of our free agents signings. They were so bad they ended up getting cut during the season, forcing us to trade a first round pick for Amari Cooper. All we had opposite Cooper was a rookie Michael Gallup. We had absolutely NOTHING at WR heading into the 2018 season. We didn’t even have Witten who had just retired.
Just adding one real good receiver in 2018 helped us rebound from a 2-5 start to making the playoffs and winning a playoff game.
He is already the alltime leader in comp pct and in range of also being altime TD leader tooAs the 2024 season is about to get started, Dak Prescott is getting ready to start his 9th season as QB of the Dallas Cowboys. If one takes a look, Dak Prescott is only 4,725 passing yards away from becoming the All Time Dallas Cowboys Career Passing Leader.

Not bad after only starting 9 seasons, considering it took Tony Romo 10 seasons as a starter to become the current franchise passing leader, along with Troy Aikman before having taken 12 seasons.
What do you think? Will Dak Prescott become the Dallas Cowboys Career Passing Leader by the end of this upcoming 2024 season?
You completely ignored the point. You say they are better than average, but none of those receivers that I mentioned did anything remotely comparable elsewhere to what they did with Romo. The receivers you mentioned did nothing with Dak and did nothing elsewhere either. That is the control variable you're missing.There’s no comparison to the average receivers we played with prior to the Amari Cooper trade in 2018 with some of the less than great receivers Romo had.

That was the weakest WR/receiver group I could ever remember with the Cowboys. I said prior to the season we were going to be in huge trouble with that group. Miles Austin was the only receiver with Romo who got a huge payday. Laurent Robinson was an average receiver who profited from a 800 yard season with the Cowboys in free agency but we had an 8-8 season that year and ended up missing the playoffs. What helped open up opportunities for Robinson in 2011 was a rookie Dez Bryant and Miles Austin. You forgot about Dez who put up 928 yards as a rookie. He and Austin combined for over 1500 yards, which helped free up Robinson.
Not to mention Jason Witten who put up just under 1000 yards. Austin, Crayton and Sam Hurd benefited from playing with TO and Terry Glenn. TO had some big seasons for us. He was still a “great” receiver when he came to Dallas. Go look at the big numbers he put up those three seasons. You’re trying to downplay his contribution, making it seem like he was washed up. Lol You’re continuing to try and make it seem like Romo had little to work with at WR.
No one really cares about Romo except a small number of people that try to wildly inflate how "great" he was because they still can't admit they were wrong in thinking Romo was special.
Pure speculation. Aikman might have been the only QB to make it work in Dallas due to nothing more than the chemistry between the various players and coaches.
That's cool. There's gotta be some Kurt Warner video out there somewhere you could 'blow it up' with.
Wow. I could blow up your statement so badly with facts, but I feel bad for you.
I already looked up such info. It would make you look so bad, especially for spewing such lies just to hate on Dak.
It only matters to the 3-4 odd balls that feel so violently compelled to defend dak at any cost. Look at this thread. Why do they care so hard about what people think ...
Lets see it! Just for fun!
"Spew such lies just to hate of Dak"? You seem extremely emotionally invested in Dak.
I'll let you sweat a little longer before I expose your lies once again.
Don’t flatter yourself. I was only sweating because I was just practicing guitar.
