Never said that, Romo was playing his best football to close the season and picking defenses apart. How do you not see this?

I'm asking you...did Romo not have any help? Otherwise, what's the point in saying Dak has had help but focusing on how good Romo was without mentioning he had help?

Well is that what is being argued? I thought we were arguing who's the better qb for this team. I don't see any argument in favor for a qb with a injury history and one that can't stay on the field.

The argument is, the better QB is Romo and he should start. Wins and losses are irrelevant going forward

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?

It's a debate because the last four times Romo's got hit, he's broken at least four bones. He hasn't played a meaningful game in over two years .

You guys are unbelievable, Romo throw for 500 and it's his fault bc they lost. Dak throws for like 20 yards but we win so he's better
Never said that.........also when has Dak threw for just 20 yards and won. And you talk about unbelievable

That's the frustrating part, how little attention the FO gives the D and Rod gets maximum effort out of the talent he's given, he appears to be the only coach capable of putting player in a position to be successful, I'm done with JG and the OC, that was more than a winnable game and they fail to adjust...you never see those 2 barking at players, Rod is not afraid to let guys have it though...and whether people like to hear or not, going to Romo at some point would not have been the worst thing to do...that game was clearly too big for Dak, and benching Bryant at some point could send a message...

in points allowed.
Per game. Most of the defenses that rank behind us in points per game have faced more possessions than we have because their offenses can't stay on the field like ours has most of the season. To even the playing field, look at points per drive.

Defensively, the Cowboys rank 19th in points allowed per drive. The offenses that we've faced the last two weeks rank 26th (Vikings) and 27th (Giants) in points scored per drive. Our defense has looked very good against a couple of very bad offenses, in other words.

Offensively, Dallas now ranks 2nd in points scored per drive, after leading the league for much of the season. The defenses that we've faced the last two weeks rank 3rd (Vikings) and 6th (Giants) in points allowed per drive. Our offense has looked very bad against a couple of very good defenses, in other words.

I said three straight
Do you even do research before opening your mouth. Tom Brady has done it multiple times (in games straight) and in fact has had less then 100 yard games. Brady has also had back to back less then 145 yards in the playoffs before (145 one game, 115 next game) your argument has no valid information that's factual. Please gain the knowledge or don't speak on things you don't know about

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.

I also think that Romo exist. I also think Romo would have been out for the season had he taken some of the hits Dak has taken this year.

Unless Romo has learn to go down quickly when getting rushed, he is not going to make it through some games against a good pass rushing defenses. The problem is, I don't think Romo will ever change how he plays.
