Valid points.

True Dat

He's one a the few in the media that appreciates Tony. There's been a few more lately but, they try to keep it quiet.

yep

Frankly, when Romo was just an unknown replacing Bledsoe, he got the same kind of praise Prescott is getting. Then, the choker dialogue got started and many in the media bought into it without looking at the facts.

The Dak situation is nothing like when Romo started. When Tony took off, we didn't have a superstar franchise QB. The sudden obsession some have with Dak is completely and utterly out of control. I mean, he may turn out to be a good QB. Who knows. But going completely bananas because of his performance in two pre season games is absurd.

I agree with him on Romo. However, I don't get the criticism of Dak. If it was so easy to have this type of success for rookie QBs then why don't we see this from every rookie QB? What Dak is doing is incredible and he deserves the hype. Will he take the next step and preform in the regular season? Who knows. But up til this point he has passed every test with flying colors.

I think it's fine that fans are praising Dak's performances because they have been praiseworthy. Now, anyone who wants to bench Romo and start Dak or feels Dallas is set at QB for the future because of two preseason performances isn't being very objective. But I tend to ignore the extremists.

I think Romo had to actually lead his team to wins in the regular season games. Even turn the season around and lead them to the playoffs.
Dak's is just in 2 halves of two practice games.
You're right about it going south on Tony after the special teams blunder. Somehow that translated to "bad QB or choker". Some never let it go from a decade ago.

Just wish we could have fun with Dak and let the kid continue to grow. So far, so good.

 

[RS12]

Cowherds got some valid points but I am not a fan of his whiny, sound bite style. He just bugs me.

We're just having fun with it. It has been a while since we could.

I agree, Romo is very disrespected by cowboy fans and non cowboy fans alike. He's the type that you don't appreciate him till he's gone.

I'm excited for Dak's potential but the chances of him being in Romo's league is small, even if he reaches his potential. And that's not a slight against Dak but to ask him to be as talented as Romo isn't fair to Dak.

I think part of that is that no one ever knew what the plan was with Romo. He was just an undrafted guy who made the back end of the roster in 2013 serving as the third-string guy and then seemed to only make the roster the next year because Quincy Carter was released. Parcells brought in Testaverde and Bledsoe to be his starters, so nothing ever really was expected to come of Romo.

A lot more is being made of Prescott in the preseason because everyone knows Dallas needs both a quarterback of the future and a No. 2 QB. Let's say we had drafted Derek Carr last year as the QB of the future and then turned around and drafted Prescott this year. Prescott might still be getting accolades for his play but it would be much more subdued.

Romo was always overshadowed by the potential of Chad Hutchinson and Drew Henson when he was always a much better QB. For some of us, his play in the preseason of 2006 confirmed that he was the actual QB of the future but a lot of fans and media didn't really see that until he took over in the regular season. (Payton even tried to steal him for a third-round pick in 2006 because no one knew yet that he was worth a first.)

 

[StarBoyz83]

This is very true. So many people saying he's not even a top 10 qb. He's also why Dallas hasn't won a sb.

Can't stand some people.

I was thinking about this today. A guy like Romo gets blamed for all the failures of this franchise in recent years............ few playoff appearances? Romo's fault. Few playoff wins? Romo's fault. A bunch of 8-8 seasons? Romo's fault.

But being up here in Philly, you see a guy like Bradford.............. who everyone just makes excuses after excuses for........... no WRs or OL in St. Louis or Philly. No quality head coaching in either spot. Constant turnover at OC.

It's downright bizarre.

 

[cowboyblue22]

whats really sad is to have a tony Romo and then only win two wildcard playoff games cowherd is right though

 

[Crown Royal]

Maybe 2-3 years go.

I think after the end of 2013 and into 2014, Romo is finally seen for the talent he is and has always been.

He finally came around. He initially didn't like Tony.
