Difference between Dak and Romo

[Beast_from_East]

Talk about beyond preposterous.
People ply that race card at any chance possible now.
Playi g the race card irresponsibly is the laziest, chumpiest approach to debate.
It devalues real race issues

Exactly.............Apparently any criticism of Dak is now going to be labeled a racial thing

Yea, its not the fact that he is throwing pick 6s all over the field, its because he is black that he his being criticized

And since he didn't want to play for another team, he could have stayed a Cowboy.

And as much as I like Dak, it's a near guarantee Romo would have won his job back if Dallas made it an open competition. Romo's knowledge of this scheme was off the charts. That's why I think it was the injuries that forced him out.

It's entirely possible. But I never heard anywhere that they intended to make it an open competition. All they ever said was that Dak had checked all the boxes or some such nonsense. The feeling that I got from everything I ever heard or read from Garrett was that Dak was the QB going forward.

I can guarantee you that Dak isn't playing it. He's working too hard to fix the problems he's having.

Actually, Dak is of mixed race. His father is African American and his late mother was white. So we can skip this sensitive issue with Dak.

Because the coaches wanted to keep the momentum or some such stupidity. There was never any doubt in anyone's mind who the better QB was, at least their shouldn't have been. And from the people who saw practice after he returned there was no doubt who was better, I read that from at least 3 different sources. They wanted Romo out because they thought Dak was 'good enough' and they'd groom him to be the next Russell Wilson - no cap hit and someone they could build around. They wanted Romo off the books because they believed they had a cheap option who would let them build around him. It never had to do with Dak being better than Romo, it had to do with Dak being cheaper than Romo. And Zeke hides a lot of warts, so the team was winning.

If Zeke had pulled a hamstring last season and missed 3 or 4 weeks we wouldn't be here now.

Edit: There is a reason they didn't let Romo compete for the job when he came back, and why they didn't offer to let him compete this year - because he would have won handily.

Very unfair analysis, this is only Dak's second season in the NFL, after Romo's second NFL season he hadn't done anything. You can't fairly compare 2 seasons of work with 14 season's of work.

Both are great qbs. Not sure the point of the comparison.

Sorry, but when was that time ?
Another time in another Universe ?

You'd have to understand football to know.

You are correct as his spectacular season that followed caused this, as he went on to pass for more than 3,700 yards and earn a passer rating of 113.2 during the 2014 season. Despite missing one game as a result of a sudden impact in the previous game against the Washington Commanders, Romo started 15 of the 16 regular season games in 2014 and led us through two rounds of the playoffs without being sidelined by herniated disc symptoms.

smart***. Then he broke his back in two places, and then AGAIN 2 years later. Do you really want to risk putting a guy back out onto the field that's injured his back 3 times, including 3 fractures?

nope nope nope. You can pine for the days of Romo all you want, but even Romo knew it was time. That's why he's in the booth.

No regrets. Well, the only thing i guess i regret is that Dallas didn't draft a better QB prospect than Dak.

 

[egn22]

Dak - 1st year:
Drafted 4th round
Plays better than ANY other QBs in preseason
Romo goes down
Moore goes down
Dak steps in, takes over starting role
Leads us to playoffs
Breaks a **** ton of rookie records
Makes history
Cowboys fans go NUTS
All this despite having terrible coaches

Romo 1st year
Undrafted...Practice squad
Romo 2nd year
3rd string
Romo 3rd year:
3rd string

Discussion OVER

If you don't bite your tongue then check your brain. You insinuated race and you know it so don't feign shock when someone calls you on it. Own it like a man if that's what you feel.

This idea that folks are being critical of Dak because of non-football reasons is bull. He's played horribly this year. He got a lot of love last year and folks were fawning over him like he was the next Brady. It cuts both ways.

Listen, playa....I don't have a problem at ALL owning up if I meant race. I AM MAN enough trust and believe! The question is....are some of YOU. So, don't tell me what I meant when I know what I meant. It must have struck a nerve. Dak's playing bad this year...please! Has he had a few bad games...yes.....most without help. No different than any other player in this league without help. And for the last time, DON'T tell me I meant something when I know what I meant. I speak my mind and have NO PROBLEM whatsoever..... saying that it is race if that's what I wanted to say. Those particular individuals know how they feel....playa! Some didn't like him before he threw his first pass as a Cowboy. Why? Cause he came from TAMU? Is it cause of his drunk driving issue? Is it cause they're so in love with Romo? Is it cause he's African American ot mixed race? I don't know what some people think. Don't insinuate I meant something when I didn't! Playa!

This thread is pointless.

 

[Dorsett33]

So you think Cowboy fans are upset with Dak because his is a black man? If he was white it would be ok, but being black he should know his place and his place is not playing QB for America's team?

You just said it in your post above, I highlighted if for everybody to see...............mods should ban you for even insinuating this about Cowboy fans

Is that how you feel? If that's how you feel...man up to it? You'll get much more respect for sure. I don't care that you put it for everyone to see...lol. That doesn't bother me one bit. I know what I meant. Apparently, it struck a nerve with YOU for you to even insinuate that I was speaking race and for me to be ban....lmao. And I'm speaking for ALL Cowboys fans!?! And I'm calling ALL Cowboys fans RACISTS!?! Lmao! No one else said anything. Gtfoh and get real! You're funny!

Bring back the glory days!

People just can't let Romo go. lol

Yeah, lets waste our time comparing Tony to Roger.

 

[Slim_JD]

Bring back the glory days!

First 2 picks weren't his fault, 3rd one fluke play in a collapsing pocket. Last 2 desperation/trying to make something happen. And y'all complained about today's receiving corp, that corp was garbage.

 

[maxdogg]

Dak will work through this we have to give this kid a chance.
He deserves it.

Ignored

Dez Bryant and Austin were terrible now! Please

Another thing: I thought Dak was the only one who needed all pros and for everything to fall perfect in order to succeed.

No excuses

Completely agree

Just like the season.
