Dak's Stats Last Season vs. Romo's 2012 Season (Both Contract Years)

[TheMarathonContinues]

Dak never had to work that hard with a team that is trash. Dak has never had to take the abuse Romo did either. Right after Romo was gone all these baby the QB rules came out.

Romo played when the babying the qb you mean Aikman. They made the rule for Brady so how did Romo not benefit? Dak took over a yeah that won 4 games before he got there. Really would’ve been winless. He had to come into the league Jason Garrett. Romo had Sean Payton and Parcells.

 

[McCarthyMustGo]

Here is a comparison of Dak vs Romo in a contract year. The stats are for the season prior to the contract year. Romo was treated like Jerry's son while Dak has been treated like an unproven rookie. Double standard, plain and simple and Dak's numbers and wins are better than Romo's.

In 2013, Romo signed a a six-year, $108 million contract extension with $55 million in guarantees and a $25 million signing bonus. This contract extension saw Romo make just $1.2 million less than HOF, 2-time Super Bowl Champ Peyton Manning.

Meanwhile in 2023, Dak outplayed Romo in most of the important stats except total yards as shown below. Romo was never questioned or ever in a "prove it" season like Dak is facing this season as Romo was Jerry's adopted son and treated as such. In 2023 Dak played one more game than Romo's 2012 season but only had 9 interceptions to Romo's 19. Ouch!!

2023 Dak's led the Cowboys to an 12-5 season and was 2nd in NFC MVP Voting
CMP ATT Yards Comp% AVG TD INT Long Sack RTG QBR Carries Yds Avg TD Long
410 590 4,516 69.5 7.7 36 9 92 39 105.9 72.7 55 242 4.4 2 22

2012 Romo led the Cowboys to an 8-8 season
CMP ATT Yards Comp% AVG TD INT Long Sack RTG QBR Carries Yds Avg TD Long
425 648 4,903 65.6 7.6 28 19 85 36 90.5 64.6 30 49 1.6 1 15

Romo continues to be revered like he won a divisional playoff game or something, while Dak is reviled by the Fuhrer and half of the fan base. Go figure?

Game has changed a lot in 11 years. So much more offensive.

Missing key stat CPG(Chokes Per Game)

Stats, lol

Player's draft positions are based off of STATS.

Player's contract extensions and/or terminations are based off of STATS.

Players are voted into the Pro Bowl and/or voted for annual awards based off of STATS.

And most important of all..... players are VOTED INTO THE PRO FOOTBALL HALL OF FAME.... based off of stats.

So for anybody to believe stats don't matter.... they're football IQ is extremely low, or they have just watching football last fall.

It's amazing how stats supposedly mattered until Dak got into the NFL.

You Dak stanleys only like to bring up stats when its convenient.

When he led the league in Ints in 2022, yall wanted to throw in context all a sudden

 

[SultanOfSix]

Romo came in tied for 3rd place for MVP.

Dak came in 2nd.

Dak>Romo

Romo had a Brady, Brees, the two Mannings, Rogers, Stafford, Luck, Rivers, Palmer, etc. in the league during his tenure.

He also didn't play against the worst pass defenses in the league during that year.

I bet you thought you killed it with that one? People acknowledged his bad turnovers and said that this wasn't his norm....which the "STATS" then proved.

You thought you were saying something but I can flip it right back to you. Why does context matter for your side but not on the other?

Are you his agent? Let the man speak for himself.

Stats can be misleading. Stats dont tell the whole story. I have plenty of threads on this same board to show you that Dak’s stats are misleading in the broad scheme of things.

Like when he statpadded in the season finals against Philly’s 3rd string in 21’ to get the single season record.

Or when he admitted he purposely protects his completion %.

Where are all these great stats/performances against the 49ers?

 

[Rockport]

Lol… “make it make sense”

I don’t see anyone bashing Dak’s regular season record. He has played well and made his name that way.

All the issues come down to his repeated choke jobs in the postseason. If past performance is the best indicator of future performance— why would we pay him more for the same results?

The fans that are critical of him just don’t believe him to be capable at this point of getting it done. And when he tells us all to just “move on” from the GB debacle— it shows he is not really in touch with how many times he and the team have crapped the bed since he took the reins

The haters refuse to acknowledge that GB ran the ball down their throats and scored on 95% of their drives physically manhandling the defense. And the Cowboys offense is predictable as daylight as they couldn’t run the ball. But put all the blame on 1 person. It’s highly entertaining.

We haven’t been able to stop the run for 28+ years which will be our Achilles' heel this season as well, but with a much worse record.

Seriously? This is a public forum and not a private conversation.

Yes, stats can be misleading. We all agree on that but they're not just misleading when they make a point you don't agree with. My comment was about how what you said could be turned on you as well. Your side are just as big of hypocrites as you think the other side is when it comes to this.

Btw, im glad you decided to double down tho. That game against Philly was a 10pt dallas lead midway through the 3rd. Dak took us on a long drive that led to a touchdown less than 30s into the 4th. He was then pulled from the game.

But yea...."context".

 

[Cmac]

I'm baffled on this one......Outside of a wedding band or contract years, Romo fingers and Dak fingers are similar.

 

[Cmac]

It's crystal clear as to why the difference in attitude.

Romo = Do more with less.
Dak = Needs everything perfect around him.

Come on fellas. Even Jerry can see that.

False narrative.

 

[Rockport]

I don’t think so but I’m an glass half full guy.

Please explain what “Needs everything perfect around him” actually means.

 

[Whyjerry]

When Tony signed that deal, who would have bet he would make more money as a TV color guy?

Romo has had quite the career.

 

[DandyDon52]

Many WRs made good money with other teams only to disappear once Romo stopped throwing them the ball.

yeah remember Robinson? a Star with romo, went to another team and just a guy.
Dez was star with Romo, and with Dak was just a guy.

 

[DandyDon52]

most of us are waiting for the actual team to show up and actually have a physical offensive line a more effective run game a better defense and special teams all in the same game with the coaching staff devising a game plan that if it blows up they actually adapt to it you know like Troy had Emmett and that offensive line defense and coaching staff you know like Roger had Tom Landry and that run game in Tony Dorsett and others with that physical offensive line and a defense that earned several monikers you mean those teams that we're searching for yeah it would be nice if you took Prescott's name out of it and just put in the word team we are crossing our fingers waiting that the team finds their nut because right now that's not happening most of these games we've lost it's been far more than a quarterback issue and it's hard to play quarterback when you don't have a consistent offensive line run game defense or really anything people show up and start dropping passes defense giving up seven points right out-of-the-box defense giving 21 straight points right out the halftime playing the quarterback we're making a couple mistakes even though we watch our other famed quarterbacks make those same mistakes we watch Matthew Stafford lead the league in interceptions and throw two of them in the Super bowl and they still win why is it the 49ers wave with the make a comeback from their deficit in the playoffs and make the Super bowl after halftime having a similar offensive offense not playing well their team played better it enabled everyone to catch up...

So let's stop the nonsense we know the quarterbacks are paying more but they're also a part of the team and the team only functions with all the other moving parts working together for the same cause not having 11 penalties or missing blocks or dropping interceptions or missing a hit on kittles or defense giving up plays left and right getting gas for 10 yards per carry in the first half of the San Francisco game they somehow are getting credit for keeping the game close no they didn't play well we're losing as a team and the quarterback is not Superman it should never be counted on to play better then it's some of it's works it's hard to play quarterback when you don't have anything else going right in the game...​

next​

Coaching matters ! Jerry tried to make a HC, then hires MM as a puppet, then blames others for not winning in playoffs.

The problem with both qbs is our fo.

We dont invest in finding qbs. Nor do we build up a surrounding to develop one. So we will always be in a bad situation come contact year.

Be it romo or some other bum whos calf is in the best shape of its life these days.

So stats are the ONLY reason jerry signs players?

I;d guess he hopes we stay medicore forever.
