Dak vs. Romo The Money Stats

[MountaineerCowboy]

You've fallen harder than any of us. So hard, you can't even enjoy the game and openly root against us, to say, I told you so. Happy Easter.

Romo vs Dak!

Ranch would give Lord Jerry top dollar to watch these two losers battle it out.

I admittedly started reading some of this info expecting to be pessimistic. But I was unexpectedly humbled. They are close in all of the key categories albeit it with Dak having better numbers.

We know neither plays their best ball in the playoffs. But for those who question Daks mental capacity to play the QB position vs. Romo these numbers show that is flat out not the truth.

Tony Romo had a .550 winning percentage against teams with a winning record (.500 or better) in his NFL career. This means he won 55% of his games against teams that were also above .500 at the time.

Dak Prescott has a win percentage of 62.3% against teams that finished the season above .500. This means he's won 28 out of 45 games against teams with a winning record.

Tony Romo's average touchdowns per year over his 13-year NFL career was approximately 18.5. During his time with the Dallas Cowboys, Romo threw for a total of 248 touchdowns in 13 seasons, resulting in an average of 19.1 touchdowns per year.

Dak Prescott averages approximately 25 touchdowns per season since 2016. This translates to an average of 7.5 touchdowns per game.

Tony Romo's 3rd-down conversion rate on throws, since 2001, was 45.1%. This places him among the top quarterbacks in the league, with a rate comparable to others like Drew Brees and Aaron Rodgers.

Dak Prescott has a career 63.4% completion rate on 3rd down attempts, with 1,978 passing yards and 11 touchdowns in 76-46-0 passing attempts. He has also thrown for 11 touchdowns on 3rd down plays. His 3rd down completion percentage is 66.8%, and his yards per attempt on 3rd down is 7.6.

It's really time to let this whole conversation die.

Rally against it instead of falling in line.

 

[DandyDon52]

Lol cant believe we really debate about two qbs with 2 wildcard wins

That is because the teams and coaches were crappy.
look at aikman, from 96 to retirement, he couldnt win a wild card game, maybe one, not sure.
But even he couldnt make a winner out of crap teams with crap coaching, and then we
had the crap GM to make things impossible.

Give Dak or Romo the teams and coaching Aikman had and they could have won a SB.

Jimmy left, and the coaching has been crap ever since then.
Jimmy was the GM, and since he left the GM has been crappy.

QB's cant win with crappy coaching and GM, bad players, bad defenses etc.

Winning is a team and organizational effort. It is never just the QB.

I liked them both. As long as Dak is our QB, I will root for his success. I will never wish he gets hurt, chokes or loses a game, just because I don't like him. If I did that, I'd be wishing you get hurt and choke on an Easter egg. Lol

Rally against it instead of falling in line.

There is no way to do that without some $.
I dont care anymore, I just observe because it is still fun and interesting, if you know
they are not going to win big.

You root against your team but rooting for these losers like Romo and Dak to stay the QB.

 

[noshame]

If you read these stats and come to the conclusion that Dak is a better NFL quarterback than Tony Romo, turn in your football card at the desk on your way out.
Together, they could hold up each side of Aikman's jock, barely

24 hours later and 3 pages in, not a single 'like' (other than mine just now) to your very accurate and informative opening post. Thank you for this opening post and thread. I've always known Dak has much better numbers than Romo, plus all the false accusations over the years about Dak have just been proven wrong. This is why no one has 'liked' your opening post because people are too proud to admit they have been wrong and biased in favor of Romo. It's why the original Dallas Cowboys Official Fan Site got shut down for this same reason by the masses of Romo fanatics who attacked anyone who questioned Romo or his stats when compared to any other QB. I'm sure you are already getting attacked, but thank you once again for these factual stats.

That is a lot of fluff, to bad all that is in the past. Now, let's see what Dak is all about this coming season. His days are over but some just won't let go. However, the boy can sure dance.

You work with what you’ve got.

 

[starfan1]

Yes Aikman who had the highest playoff passer rating in history at the time of his retirement.

Aikman played his best football in the playoffs.

We haven’t had a QB like that since.

Roger was and is my favorite cowboy player of all time and Aikman isnt far behind but lets be real here,They both had the luxury of playing with much better teams Aikman especially. I believe Romo and Dak have same success playing with those teams as they were stacked or darn close to it. and Aikman and Roger would be looked at differently if they played with the teams that Romo and Dak has played with.

I believe too much emphasis is put on the QB position and we have some slow fans in here its a team game. every since salary cap and jimmy's departure Jethro and son have done nothing but prove to be inept.

I concur. I love Aikman but how did he look from 1996 to 2001 with no Jimmy and Jethro at GM?

From 1996 to 2001, the Dallas Cowboys had one playoff win. One and done. Wildcard win and booted in the divisional round. Sounds familiar doesn't it.?

 

[plasticman]

Dak vs. Romo?

LOL.....

The four previous "franchise" quarterbacks, Meredith, Staubach, White and Aikman each crushed their combined playoff success.

Conference championship games or pre-merger NFL championship games (equivalent)

Meredith 2
Staubach 6
White 3
Aikman 4

Dak and Romo combined 0

That is the single most important statistic when evaluating the career of a Dallas Cowboys quarterback.

Anyone wanting to defend Dak and/or Romo by pointing out the inadequacy of their teammates are simply adding the lack of leadership to their career profiles.

One note, however:

Dak's career isn't over and I didn't say he couldn't do it. I'm just saying he hasn't done it yet and time is running out.

I agree they both had better teams.

That said, I don’t think Romo or Dak were on the level of Troy or Staubach.

I wouldnt argue for it. I don't know that I expected them to be either. I will say that Roger had Tex Schram and Landry. Troy did have to deal with Jerry and had Jimmy but I also think that team was built primarily through a awesome trade and once it aged and Jimmy left they weren't the same. As previously mentioned from 96-01 they were nothing to brag about and aikman couldn't do much with it.

Id take both aikman and Roger 10 times out of 10 over the last 2 but I also think they were a result of the rest of the roster. anyway just my 2 cents happy easter

I have stated the same over the years, with stats included, yet I get called an Aikman hater. No hate. Nothing but love and appreciation for Troy, but as you mentioned, historical stats from 1996 - 2001 paint an identical picture to the ones painted for both Romo and Dak.
