Romo made everybody around him better, like Larant Robinson and Miles Austin who never did jack without Romo.

Dak doesn’t elevate our scrubs, he instead plays down to their level and ends up sucking himself.

And Romo puts up more than 6 points against a 4 win team............just saying

Serious question. Have any of our skill players or even offensive players as a whole gotten better since Romo? I think you can make a case that every player has gotten worse. Obviously Zeke didn’t play with Romo so he can’t be included in this.

Interesting.

How many guys was Romo making better in the middle of his 2nd year?

we have to be fair here. Last year if Dallas didn't have Zeke, Dak would look exactly what your seeing now...not ready. Romo was able to watch for few years. Dak probably needs to sit for few years.

Sean Payton and David Lee. Garrett and Wade Wilson weren't around during Romo's initial years and he credits David Lee for his early development and turning him from roster fodder to a starting NFL QB. This current staff hasn't shown any history of being able to develop a young QB and I don't think they can.

Patrick Crayton. He had a career season in 2007. 697 yards, 50 receptions, 7 TDs

Edit: yes, I realize that 2007 wasn't his second year in the league, but it was his second year actually playing and he was lightyears ahead of Dak. That's more of a testament to Romo than a condemnation of Dak though

Please the context was when he started actually playing. But yeah Dak shoud be sitting behind Romo right now.
mr. Staubacher-- Last year was like a perfect storm in a way..the way the team was winning could not hand reins back to Romo

then this year reality set in...or somrthing?....just cannot put my finger on these 2nd half total meltdowns..never seen anything

like it?

Zeke rushed for 200 yards & a 3TD's for the close comeback against Green Bay in last years playoff game? Ohh yeah that was Dak!

It's funny now that everyone realize that he cannot throw, when I noticed this last year. The guy is not a pocket QB that we need. He cannot throw the fade, deep ball, deep outs, etc. He doesn't have the zip.

So many people on his jock last year. Dak over Wentz theory was a joke.

If I was brand new to football I would swear Romo won at least 3 Superbowls for the Cowboys. He hasn't even taken us to the Superbowl. Even more....he hasn't even taken us to the NFC Championship Game. Yet, he's some of y'alls savior. Lol...yall crack me up.

The only difference I see is Romo waits until the key game or when the game on the line and chokes .. Dak seem to start a pattern of choking throughout the game .. LOL

j/k

Dak is still my guy (for now)

:cool:

He doesn't have zip but he's thrown more tight window completions than anyone. Newsflash!!!!!! Tight window passes needs LOTS of Zip!
