Dak vs Romo: Just the Facts

[zerofill]

lol no it's not

Exactly... at least Romo was entertaining to watch. Plus Jerry is at fault for this last 30 years period.

lol at dak 2nd in mvp

Yep. He got one vote. Lmao.

 

[diamonddelts]

well, he was 2-4 in playoffs... nothing to write home about.... he got into playoffs 4 years, Dak 5 years. both have only 2 wins in playoffs.

neither did anything spactacular. not sure why Romo maniacs defend him like they do.

Exactly. Dakota Prescott and Antonio Ramiro are the same QB under pressure in big games. A mistake waiting to happen.

Dak 66.8. Comp. Romo 65.3

Romo didn't throw very many interceptions but just had the absolute uncanny ability of being able to throw one when it was impossible to overcome.

As a result the ones he threw became very memorable.

Now one can see that the Cowboys did suffer in free agency last year by not getting extensions done early.

There now are resources that have come to use. Injuries were the robber Barron, not players to get real handles on a large group of good players and talent.

You can't even interpret the point my very straightforward post made. Or maybe you just consciously choose to gaslight with your attempt at revisionist history.

The point was that the very same excuses you guys, (and no, you don't get to ignore all the historical context and exclude yourself from the Dak Defender club) have undeniably used to defend Dak's playoff failures are not extended to Romo when they undeniably are equally as relevant.

I especially love how you oh so cluelessly double down with that gibberish about "maybe if we scored more..." but somehow are able to miss the giant, flashing, firework spewing billboard of hypocrisy that is attached to that statement.

That's the problem with living and dying on your ego alone. It can lead to irrational and emotional thinking that leaves you looking silly, at best.

I should state for the record, so your emotions don't lead you to an incorrect assumption, I am not defending or attacking either QB here. I'm just pointing out how irrational and emotional some of you are.

What you guys? Are you one of those who will call anyone a Dak supporter because in every comment anyone posts ever they don't just dump on him thus they are a supporter? Give you said you guys its obvious...

Neither gets an excuse. But go ahead pick Romos jocks since you are one of those guys

Here is how Dak and Romo were ranked for passer rating in their first 9 years:
Dak: 3rd, 17th, 14th, 10th, DNQ, 3rd, 16th, 2nd, 28th Average = 11.6
Romo: 5th, 5th, 8th, 8th, DNQ, 4th, 10th, 8th, 1st Average = 6.1

Versus his peers, Romo was simply a better passer than Dak. Romo never finished out of the top 10 in passer rating. Dak has finished outside of the top 10 in half of his seasons.

The only players with "better" yearly passer rankings than Romo (in his era) are first ballot HOFers.

You are not seriously suggesting that a QB known for bumbling around the pocket & getting sacked (even by his own linemen) is a better "escape artist" than a QB renowned for his escapes (spin move)? Might want to talk to JJ Watt.
You can't make this stuff up. It's unbelievable. If Disney had your imagination, know telling what he could of created.

I was simply saying that, as another fan pointed out, that Dak has more rushing yards than Romo over the first 9 seasons. I agree w the Romo assessment that he was a Brett Favre wanna-be and was in reality Favre-Light.

Not a shocker. Dak is far better than Romo was. It's not even that close.

You'll go to any length to avoid owning and taking responsibility for your statements. I responded to post #157 in which you blamed Romo for losing three "win and your in" games. I simply pointed out that in very similar circumstances where Dak was the QB, many, including you, gave Dak a pass because the defense failed. In other words, in all those situations the defense failed. but only Dak got the pass for it.

You seemed to have recently changed your tune a bit on Dak, presumably because the reality is impossible to ignore for all but the most delusional, so kudos for coming around on that, but prior you have been a vocal defender of Dak. You were one who hammered on the 260 yards rushing given up to the Rams being impossible to overcome yet crickets on the 270+ rushing the defense gave up in the Washington loss which Romo QB'd. You relentlessly lectured us on how it's a "team game" when Dak and the offense couldn't overcome a terrible showing by the defense, but crickets when the defense was terrible in some critical losses with Romo taking the snaps.

You have clearly expressed a double standard in the way you're evaluating these two QB's. That's my point. Nothing more, nothing less. No matter how hard you try to make it something more.

So why did you say "escape artist"?

If you wanna say he's got more running yards, fine, but that's not based on escapability.

Again here we go with "people like you" . Who are these people you keep referring to?

And I clearly criticized both...

And like I said both were crap. No excuses. Neither got it done. You sound like you want to excuse Romo because of what "some people" said about Dak. Your Romo defense is a Dak excuse!!!!!!

If you think Dak shouldn't get an excuse. Why are you defending Romo with the same Dak excuse. Makes zero sense.
