Dak vs Romo: Just the Facts

[NFCBeasts]

Some of y'all need to really learn what average means..

I mean literally so far from above average are you kidding me there's 32 teams in the league both these players have been in the top five more than once in their careers and just recently Prescott was second MVP voting and should have been the MVP second team all pro led the league in scoring like I don't understand what you mean got lucky with the average?

no both were franchise quarterbacks, top ten in the league at worst and that's so far above the 16 line that would be called average.. these guys are both franchise quarterbacks..

they are very difficult to find and you want to call it luck, Tom Brady in the sixth round, Brock Purdy in the seventh round, you want to talk about luck the San Francisco 49ers couldn't have been more lucky after they made a huge mistake trading three first rounders for Trey Lance and ended up with Brock Purdy last player taken in the draft.. you don't call that luck and by the way they haven't won a Super Bowl in a long time, and I know they're better than us as far as championship game appearances but let's be real lots of teams get lucky with players and sometimes you need some luck...

I'm sick and tired of hearing the word average the team's 32 that would be 16 would be the average point and none of these quarterbacks ever at any point even as rookies it was rookie of the year that that's not average that's not above average above average would be like 12 these guys have been in the top ten their entire careers and have had many seasons at least three in the top five and in the MVP talk that is not above average....

Why don't you check at the bottom 20 quarterbacks in the league and let me know what average really looks like because I can tell you what it looks like even a guy like Geno Smith can be called slightly above average what Aaron Rodgers did last year people thought was bad no that's above average that's slightly average to above average now he used to be elite but those are what average looking quarterbacks look like not the ones who have 37 touchdowns and 10 interceptions 35 touchdowns and 9 interceptions and getting the MVP voting just recently and been part of number one offense is more than I can remember... You might wanna check statistics Prescott is also in the top 6 where he was in the maybe top 10 now and touchdown interception ratio I mean did you see those stats up there that's all time not just with the Cowboys the man has so many top 10 statistics against his own peers in the league let alone how he ranks all time with the Cowboys,

that's not average I get it we need to go further in the playoffs but please don't call it luck and don't call it average..

a huge appointment in team play in the playoffs and big games, yes...

Dak is average … just like your post.

 

[ATXSRT]

Dak cheerleaders are the reason this organization is the way it is. Accepting mediocrity from the highest paid player in the league lol. Delusion should be a disease...

 

[Slick]

And yet Dak is much more accurate

Said no one……. Ever. He throws more passes behind his receivers than anyone I’ve ever seen.

 

[Yobwocs]

Silly to say the GB game where Romo had like a 148 rating. He could not have played a better game. The Giants defense in 2007 was one of the best and held a 18-0 NE team that had one of the most prolific offensive seasons ever to 14 pts. Dallas wins that game if Crayton catches a couple balls - one that hit him in the hands that would go down as one of the worst drops ever.

I think 15-19 191 yards is an extremely deceiving way to get to a 148 passer rating, but if you wanna praise Romo for a small offensive contribution while we go home and watch Rodgers play in another championship game....,go ahead and shoeshine his 148 passer rating.

You can't BLAME Romo for that game, but I think that game kinda proves who Romo has been his whole career. Whenever he plays a superior QB, he can't outduel him. Who would you bet for Romo against Brady/Rodgers/Favre. For me, it's Brady/Rodgers/Favre every time.

 

[McKDaddy]

Yet Dak's highs were higher than Romos.

Give Dak Romos defense in 07 and 14, he gets by both the Packers games. Romo just doesn't produce enough offensively, fax.

Now that's funny.

 

[plasticman]

That's 20 years with two starting QBs, excepting injury.

There is not another 20-year period in Cowboys history for which they accomplished less.

Comparing Dak and Romo is like comparing beta tapes and 8-tracks. Which was the least unsuccessful?

 

[GMO415]

More proof Dak was better than Romo and Romo wasn't special.

 

[plasticman]

Romo > Dak. Just the facts.

Romo + Dak < 0

 

[McKDaddy]

uhhhh...is he?

Hypothetical - throwing into a regular sized car tire from 25 yards. Taking turns - first to five passes through the tire wins. You're taking Dak over prime Romo? Because I would put money on Romo.

A lot of money

 

[boysfanperiod]

And Romo is/was the far superior QB

And much more fun to watch. I never really felt like we were out of a game with Romo.
I am just bored with Dak. I don't know why that is because when he is on, he is really good.

 

[Kingofholland]

4 and 9 have unfortunately been on a similar career trajectory to this point. I often think of them as one in the same though Romo had a bit better of a deep ball, while Dak has a had legs to run. I hope Dak can change the narrative and be the clear winner between this ongoing debate because it likely means he's had some more playoff success. Time is running shorter though.

 

[ArtClink]

You completely missed the point.

Tiny sample of facts.

There are a ton of relevant facts beyond a few stats.

Gotcha.

 

[ArtClink]

Neither one of them were successful as QB of the Dallas Cowboys because they didn't or haven't taken the team to the SB. But if you are just evaluating the talent to play QB, there is no comparrison, Romo was a much better QB than Dak has been. Romo had a quicker mind, understood what the defense was doing and was tremendous with pre snap reads and his pocket presence is light years ahead of Dak. I personally think if you swap the times they played, Dak would not have been even close to as successful as Romo was with the OL Romo had most of his career. Flip that around, if 2014 Romo had the team that Dak has had for the majority of his career, he would have won a SB or two.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

Is it a top offense when it fails to show up for 2-3 quarters?

Who suggested it was a top offense lol?

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

Give that 2021 team to Romo and we're beating the Niners handily. Dak did less with more, nothing you and your Dak homies say will ever change that cold hard fact.

Romo had more Pro Bowlers than anyone in history and choked away against the Giants… lost again with a stacked team in 2014…but he would’ve single handedly beat the 9ers. If delusional was a person.

 

[ArtClink]

Romo was the better passer and had better arm talent. Dak was good his rookie year because he used his legs. Ever since then he's been average, and terrible against good teams. It's gonna be even worse now after this last injury.

And yet the stats for their first 9 seasons say otherwise. Unless you’re saying Romo was also average after his rookie season.

 

[ArtClink]

Only thing [S]he[/S] Romo and Dak can’t find is a way to win big games. The playoffs matter.

Fixed that for you. Both QBs have 2 wild card wins. Did I stutter?

 

[calico]

Numbers lie and are easily manipulated.

 

[DandyDon52]

yet he was 2-7 in win or go home games.... not very good.
He had talent around him as well and couldn't get it done.

never had a good defense
stuck with JG as OC the whole time except for 2014, and he had a great year,but
JG manged to blow the GB game with game mgmt.

 

[DandyDon52]

both QB's were hamper by bad defenses and bad coaches, and then the jones boys too.
Dak had a good defense for couple of years.
