Dak wasn't that good last night **merged**

No, Romo was always a great QB once he developed. He didn't have the team around him or the coaching to make a serious run. Dak has the same problem and he also hasn't fully developed yet. In only his 3rd season, Dak is still part of the problem on offense.
I'm hoping he will develop. The OP is stating that Dak is a young QB as an excuse for his issues, but seems to hammer the rest of us when we point that out, lol. That and he's allergic to Romo, lol.
 
Did Romo take your girl? I wish you people would stop mentioning Romo to me like I've made any comparisons. Don't know why some of y'all have Romo on your mind he's been gone let it go.

Romo was a home grown example of how even a great QB couldn't win diddly here. In other words, QB is the least of our problems. Unless you are just pissed that he isn't in his prime after 2 years and 2 games. Had we had a defense ranked in the top 5 like we have now we are a stone cold contender in Daks rookie year.
 
Again, never said Witten in his prime was better than Witten in 2016. Also never said that Dez was better than T.O. Please read what I said. I just said that Dez's numbers up until Romo got hurt in 2015 would show that he was not merely an average receiver. Dez has more TDs, yards and receptions in a Cowboy uniform than any receiver who played in this millenium. Again, the "Dak is a young QB" excuse can only carry you so far. If he's on any team other than the Cowboys in 2016, he's likely a sub .500 QB. The fact that he had such a highly regarded year have set up expectations that he had no way of meeting. Truth be told, he is a young QB, but he's behind guys like Goff and Wentz when it comes to understanding the position at the NFL level. It should be expected considering where he was drafted and the offense he played in at Miss St. But even Goff who played in an "air raid" two read system is further along than Dak is now.
You know.... I’d respect your opinion a lot more if you’d just be honest about your reasons for hating Dak so much. You were willing to go a decade with Romo and his bloopers and blunders. But insist on Dak being a closed case 3 years into his career. With 23 wins and 10 losses. Yea. Sounds legit. SMH

People got Romo on the mind, because many people thought he should have retained his job as a starter when he came back instead of subsciribing to superstition or making Dak seem like a little kid who couln't take getting his football taken away from him (which is really insulting to Dak). Romo was the more finished product and was healthy and ready to play. The team was built for him and it would have been nice to see how he would have driven it (though he drove it damn well on his curtain call). I'll always wonder if Dak would not be a better QB today if he had ran the scout teams in practice and learned to play more of a pro style in that setting.
 
If Dak does nothing else, he stomped out Romo’s bad luck career. After this year the stain is off the salary cap. We should burn the #9 and see if we can’t get some good luck back.

Please show me one thread where I proclaimed Dak a "closed case". Even one. Where is it? Please show me where I said that I had compltely given up on Dak.

I want Dak to do well. I really do. I think we're on the same page here. Where were not is that it seems to me that you think Dak can play like 2016 again and all will be well.it ain't gonna happen. He needs to improve. You make it seem like I'm attacking Dak or that I have an Anti-Dak agenda when I say that he needs to improve. I want to see him succeed. I don't want to have to blow high draft capital on a QB because he failed.

I love pretty much everything about Dak except some of his extreme fans when they are unreasonable and the fact that he's not further along in his development than he is. It makes me worry that he has only one more season, and he's taken a step backward already this season. That bothers me. He's simply not gifted enough to exlusively run an RPO system. Can he have success? Sure, against undiiscipline front 7s or teams with bad secondaries or Dak hits a big play and relies on the defense to keep the team in it.

What made our teams of the 90s great was that we could dictate what we wanted to do and teams could not stop us. Running an RPO system is exactly the opposite. We have to hope that the teams we play screw up and hope our Defense can keep it close. Just not a good recipe for a contending team, but that is all Dak seems to be able to handle right now. This is a fair comment. I'm not bashing Dak. I'm just saying that is what he's shown so far in 2018. Still waiting for him to flip the switch and then I'll be happy. Otherwise, I stay concerned.

Wow!!! This post really shows how much you like Dak!!! Hahahahaha... GT%OH:thumbdown:

And your posts just show how unwilling you are to accept that he may not be the QB of this team in 2020. I don't know about you, but I'm saddened by that thought. I want the man to succeed, but if he can't he'll be gone. If he shows any improvement at all, Jerry might slap a franchise tag on him, but if we're running this exclusive RPO cr@p in year four, I'm done. I bet Jerry will be too.
 
Dak hasn’t had All Pro receivers either. Do do tell. Would you rather have several pro bowl linemen and All World HOF Wr and TE, or 3 All pro linemen and Average WRs and TEs? Be honest
I would rather have the all pro oline and RB and the pro bowl receiver (2016 Dez) and TE (2017 Witten).

Stop the bs. We bring Romo up because you all claim we would’ve won the super bowl in 2016 if we would’ve benched Dak to let him play. Which puzzles me because in all of Romo’s career we have only won wildcard games. What in the hell makes you all think 2016 with Romo would’ve been any different?

Me too. Better talent across the line and Zeke was way better than Barber and Felix combined. Beasley was a better possession receiver than guys like Ogletree and Hurd etc. I still believe that 2016 had the best talent.

He had better overall talent to work with than he ever had before. He had more experience. He retuened from injury healthy. He was ready to play. He was a Pro QB, not a rookie playing a college system. Too many reasons to go into. Would Romo have won? Don't know. He had a seriously snake-bitten career, but the guy had talent and you could argue he was due.

Nah QB isn't the least of our problems but I understand some of y'all rooting for Dak super hard. Your hyperbole doesn't confuse me nobody said he needs to be in his prime and if they did address them not me. He just going backwards as a QB regardless of what some stats may say when he should be getting better.
 
What's he lying about? Okay, the whole line wasn't all-pro, but three guys were. Dez was a pro-bowl player and Witten went out with a Pro Bowl. So how is that a lie? How is it stupid?
It’s a lie because we all know an All Pro Line ain’t crap without viable threats to catch balls. You, him and others are crying and *****ing about the pass game, but he claims to prefer a run oriented team with average pass catchers. That’s bs. And furthermore, Dez ain’t been a pro bowl wr since 2014. So that’s a bunch of bogus bs.

Romo did feel the need to do everything himself in those games when he choked. He grew out of that and became a great QB, but his body was no longer able to take the pounding anymore. Dak has a below average group of WRs and no playmaking TEs. Dak is really hurting the team at this point because he is not able to complete many passes which would cause the defense to stop stacking the box with defenders that are keying in on stopping Zeke. At this point, Dallas needs a great , young QB prospect drafted and they need to obtain a better WR corp. they have a great oline that is still young and they will only get better in the years to come. Without drafting a QB, they are not going to improve very much at all and all the high picks spent on the line will be wasted if they don’t draft the playmakers needed to take advantage of the line that they have built. The only bright spot on the team at this point is the defense. Without some offensive help, the defense will be wasted.
 
You’re lying.... That’s just stupid
I did phrase it poorly by referring to the whole oline as all pros when that wasnt the case, but I would absolutely take the playoff version of the 2016 team over any playoff/end of season Cowboys team since 2000.

You really should stop the bs. You only say that because Romo didn’t play and you can place your own fairytale in the end and say we would’ve won it all with Romo Christ as the quarterback. I call BS
