Defense is ranked top 5 in points allowed

[Thetriplets22]

in points allowed. They have been incredible, another reason Romo should start. Romo would never lose a game where the defense only allowed 10 points

They played a great game vs the Giants and were rewarded with Dak's worst performance of his life (maybe he had a worse game in peewee? Doubt it though)

wow.
That's astounding that you would have to go back that far. Amazing.
Completely supports that guys point you were disputing.

Honestly, I'm just giving you a hard time. I'm not in Camp Romo-must-start-vs-Tampa.

So, we had everything locked up but they kept Romo in long enough to throw the ball 36 times? Nice try.

Honestly, I just started looking at games from 2006, when Romo first started. There may be more, not sure just stopped at the first one I found.

His point, stated clearly, was that Romo would NEVER lose a game in which the defense only gave up 10 points. There were no qualifiers. My reference shows that he was wrong.

We had one loss going into that game and we just beat Green Bay.

They played their tails off Sunday night. They've come a very long way.

In 2014 December , Romo put up 41 points, 38, 42 and 44. Dak hasn't thrown for 200 yards in 3 straight games. How is this even a debate?

Your original post included no caveats, it was an absolute statement. You were incorrect. Accept it and move on.

So, you are comparing the stats of an 8 year vet vs a rookie.....makes perfect sense.

Well Romo ain't start'in so hard cheese.

I think he meant going forward with this offense though, don't you?

Anyway, all in good fun

No crap, that's my entire point. We are starting a rookie over an elite veteran QB. Makes zero sense

Pretty sure plenty of people don't think Tony circa 2014 exists anymore...and if he did, would not last but for a few games.

I actually think that guy does exist, but there's really no way to know for sure unless they upset the apple cart and throw him out there.
Not sure I want that either ....yet.

Because Dak is 11-2. If Romo was 11-2 you wouldn't even think to bench him and I think it's sad that Dak can't just play quarterback and he has to constantly answer questions about Romo. Makes zero sense. No one should be 11-2 and have to be on a leash.
