Different kind of Dak thread

[JoeKing]

I think it’s more along the lines of they are willing to walk through the potential QB draught in hopes of ending up with someone better than Dak. I think they are of the opinion Dak can’t get it done.

I'm sure that's true for some. Many of those, but not all, are younger fans who don't remember the QB drought after Troy Aikman's retirement.

The only reason "Dak" is a controversial topic is because we have so many haters as Cowboys fans. Dak is a very good QB but the haters would rather get rid of him and face QB purgatory.

You "THINK", there are Dak Haters. You've just combined every 'fan' that's suggested moving on from Dak as a Hater.....that's a Binary opinion. A fair number agree that Dak is a very good QB, however, the repeated play-off performances where his composure falters (unlike less pressured regular season games) strongly indicates that his inner psyche/anxiety is going to be a barrier, regardless of how the team is built around him.

It a very lazy take and extremely condescending. They think it makes them super fans and it just makes them look dumb...or worse. These guys often pull out the "it's not about football"...which is vile.

It’s very frustrating for all Cowboys fans. Interesting thought though—-if the two Dez catches were catches and we went on to win two SBs would the narrative be different?

This is the thing...the Romo hatin' Dak Ultra Crusader are so quick to blame Romo, when just a couple plays could very well have made a difference. I'll see you Dez and raise you Murray's fumble.

Can we say the same thing about Dak?

Personally, I don't like the Romo v Dak debate, as it's false flag by outright fans of Dak to create a false agenda.

You don’t like it because Dak and Romo have proven to be the same player.

“Different kind of Dak thread”

Proceeds to rile up the same types of arguments that have been going on since 2016.

All Dak threads do. You can't stop the little spatters who spew the same trash incessantly.

Well, that's the pro Dak slant. Lot more to it than that.

Both have/ had some good qualities.

Daks was low turnovers, durability and good regular season numbers.....but failure in the biggest moments
Romos was high football IQ, good regular season numbers and ability to improvise.......but failure in the biggest moments.

Two different styles but almost exact same results.

2-4 vs 2-5............ take your pick, gentlemen.

As if Antonio Romero Romo was a blue blood from the Hamptons, lol


It's always just about a man performance on the field. Like Antonio Romero said, " the nfl is based on meritocracy "

Let's keep it that way here too.

Not trying to pick on your comment in particular MC but these are the type "blanket statements" that lead us down bad paths.

They are not the same player. Neither have achieved the ultimate goal but neither did Marino or a littany of other QB's. That doesn't make them the same.

They are completely different players in terms of their skills, strengths & weaknesses. It's better to just discuss each as individual players.

As Shabby said, different styles, yes, but essentially the same.

NFL players are constantly compared to one another. Wishing these comparisons away is a lesson in futility.

And that’s all I’m saying. No one pro Dak or Pro Romo have a leg to stand on.

But the results are the same. We haven’t made a NFC championship in 28 years.

As a pro Dak guy I can sit here and admit he’s a playoff failure. We can agree or disagree on why that is but it’s the facts to this point. Not sure why pro Romo guys can’t do the same? They are the same guy. They are not Marino. Marino went to a SB. The fact is they are more alike than not.

People didn’t like Romo either…this post NFL career for some reason has helped his rep.

Comparing individuals doesn't tell us anything about why they succeeded or failed in a team sport though. Once the comments about they both failed to win a championship is brought into the comparison, the discussion is no longer about how well the individual played their role.

Comparing can be fun & useful but it needs to be limited to how they individually performed IMO.

I don't find them to be similar players at all. No more than I find Trent Dilfer to be similar to Marino. But that's not even the point.

It's a distinction that is hard to put into words. I'm just saying if we want meaningful conversations that don't contribute to the polarization of the the topic, we should avoid talking points that are flawed & destined to be polarizing from the beginning.

There you go, you've just proved my point....thinking someone's a Romo Fan, if they dare mention Dak's issue's.
Romo couldn't manage games and imo is a nearly man, as is Dak.

thats a fact and I like both QB's but trying to say one is better than the other is false they both failed to move the team along in the playoffs..period...

It’s weird. And if you want to be factual Dak has managed to get his team to the playoffs more times in a smaller time frame. So the fact they can’t even agree they are the same guy is odd to me and always has been.
