Difference between Dak and Romo

The difference between Romo and Dak ?


One is a bad azz

And one is just azz

Just kidding. Kinda. Hope Dak gets his life and game back in order. I'm praying that he does.

AGREE 100%!!! Tony was a far superior player! Would've been best for both Dak and the Cowboys...

Not even close. Tony would have won all three games. And I promise you, we would have had more than 0 points in the third quarter.

In the game book on NFL.com they have nextgen stats. One of them is average separation of the WRs on completions. You might want to check it out: http://www.nfl.com/gamecenter/2017112301/2017/REG12/Chargers@Cowboys?icampaign=scoreStrip-globalNav-2017112301#menu=gameinfo|contentId:0ap3000000882073&tab=ngs

For the Chargers Allen was targeted 14 times and had 11 catches, his average separation was 2.17 yards. That is well below the NFL average of 2.74 yards. For the Cowboys TWill was targeted 5 times with 4 catches, his separation was 3.41 yards. Overall the Chargers had no more separation than our WRs on completions.

Edit: And they have those stats for every game. So I also know that Alshon Jeffrey for the Eagles was targeted 7 times and had 4 catches vs us. On those catches he averaged a whopping 1.88 yards of separation.

NFL QBs make tight throws, a LOT. They complete them a lot. And there is frequently very little separation. That's pretty much what it means to throw a receiver open.

Looking at the game live from the top down 200 ft. up in the stands, with binos, I can report our WRs were tightly covered almost all day long. And their WRs seemed to be able to get open at will.

That's the problem with many stats. Especially ones based on averages. They can mean anything you want them to mean. But when you actually watch the game live, you don't have to worry about it. You can SEE what is happening for yourself.

Not reading all of that, but to answer your first question: I didn’t bash Romo throughout his career, even defended him occasionally, but the revisionists on this forum are trying to convince everyone that Romo was “Romo” out the gate. And since 2nd year Dak doesn’t look or play to the level of “Romo”, then that’s a wrap. 2nd year Romo was sitting on the bench and unlearning his sidearm throwing motion.

But Romo was not being compared to being better than Tom Brady. I read so many posts about how Dak is easily a top 3 QB. It make my stomach turn

 

[LocimusPrime]

That defense you are talking about held them to 3 points in the first half. They have begged the offense to score some points. What do you expect from a defense when the offense can’t score more than 7 points? They are bound to break.

Very fair point. Defense has been holding it down in the first half of all three games

 

[Dodger12]

Agree, but that time has passed. Most everyone (coaches, fans, sponsors) bought into the hype last year. For better or worse he is the QB of the future. I think he will ultimately be fine as long as he doesn’t lose confidence. He will not win games single handily, he’s just not that QB.

I don't understand this line of thinking. Why is he the QB of the future? Was Nick Foles the QB of the future for Philly? He was a Pro-Bowler in 2013 and was traded by 2015 for Sam Bradford and picks. I understand Zeke is out but but if you're going to pass for 30 yards a half or 70 plus in 3 quarters, that just won't cut it. We're not tied to anyone at this point.

 

[LocimusPrime]

So we ditched Romo for a QB that has bad mechanics and cant make simple reads unless he has the best RB in the league standing behind him?

Nice

If you recall, Jerry actually wanted Romo back and starting but was overruled by Stupid Stephan and dumb dumb Garrett and probably McClay

 

[Greasylake17]

The same people who claimed how Dak is a top tier QB after one year can NOT use the argument well Dak should not be judged because he is only a 2nd year QB. They cant have it both ways

Well, people post stupid things.

It’s a semantical argument cooked up by Dak slobberers because at this point they literally have nothing left. Romo literally never appeared in a game until his 4th year but if you listen to enough Dak slobberers you would think he was getting some gigantic advantage that Dak didn’t get. By the same token you could say that Dak had 4 years at a major college in the SEC getting experience and playing under the bright lights while Romo was playing at a community college. Regardless of their different ways of getting there, by the time Romo was in his second season of actual playing, he was light years ahead of Dak and that’s a bitter pill for the average Dak slobberer to take. Hence all of the semantics.

 

[Greasylake17]

Im not a Dak hater at all. I just could never ever understand the comparaisons to him being better than the elite in the league. Thats my only point.

 

[LocimusPrime]

Or maybe the Eagle's front office giving wentz several weapons like Alshon Jeffries, Jay Ajayi, Bluont, and a solid defense actually has an effect on the quarterback. Oh wait, no wentz is doing it all by himself... maybe the Eagles also have a head coaching advantage as well.

Everyone here said alshon was a has been. Blount was slow and even New England didn't want him. Jtrain had an attitude problem and bum knee.

It's amazing how these FAs have actually worked out for the eagles. Playing with Wentz has privavly elevated their game and they have helped wentz to

But yet they do bro.

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.

I bet you didn’t think that 12 months ago. Sometimes it is what it is. Good QB who needs everything great around him ala Alex Smith.

BTW, I really hope I am wrong and he turns into a franshise guy.

Better than Brady? Now you’re making it up. Not even Skip Bayless has ever proposed that idea.

 

[Mr Cowboy]

I loved Tony, but many here seem to forget the endless hate threads for Tony for these same reasons as Dak. Let's not forget the bad interceptions at the worst times. Let's not forget the "win or go home" games. The 8-8 seasons, the miss throws, the Ill timed sacks. Tony did some great things here and I really appreciate the things he did. But he only won a couple of playoff games. Let's not make it seem like he won 6 straight titles.

 

[Coy]

Yet they chose Dak over Romo last year

That seems to be working all kinds of awsome.
Just another horrible decision by Garrett, nothing to see here.

For all of the time that I spent on this board, I have honestly never seen anyone say that Dak was better than Brady. Not even the biggest of Dak supporters have said such a thing. Romo had been compared to Brady and other top tier QB's for better or worse.

 

[Toruk_Makto]

So all games are won or lost by how much the WRs are getting separation?
Another post by you that displays your lack of football knowledge.

I'd just assume a team with a hall of fame qb who has wrs open on every play would be able to muster a winning record.

Pardon me.
