Down 6 pts with the ball 1:59 left in the 4th quarter no timeouts. Who are you going with?

[big dog cowboy]

Romo 24 4th quarter comebacks 29 game winning drives.

Prescott 15 4th quarter comebacks 20 game winning drives.

Aikman 14 4th quarter comebacks 22 game winning drives.

The numbers say Romo.

Those are extremely skewed numbers. Aikman most likely had fewer opportunities.

 

[EGTuna]

Troy was the NAN. End of story.

Those are extremely skewed numbers. Aikman most like had fewer opportunities.

Thats fine....good math can help dice that up properly. You are right....these numbers need a deeper dive. I.E. does this show romo to be a choker, as some claim? I think not.

To me the classic Dallas game that typified Romo's career was the last game in Texas Stadium against Baltimore.

Romo brings Dallas back and on the first play by Baltimore the defense gives up a 75 yard run.

Romo brings Dallas back again an on the first play by Baltimore the defense gives up an 80 yard run.

Romo needed to be a gunslinger because the defense was not good during his tenure. The other game that stands out was the shootout with Denver. The only reason Dallas was even in the game was because of Romo. But all that is remembered is the mistake at the end of the game.

Aikman had the best defense and Prescott has been fortunate to have good defenses except when Mike Nolan was the DC. Had Romo had defenses of the quality of Aikman and Prescott I believe Dallas could have on a title.

TRUTH!

Don't go by 4th quarter comebacks, go by the 2 minute warning down by 6. Anyone but Dak.

Answer: The old guy.

 

[Brax]

Actually you’re in good hands with two but Roger was so good at it if the games on the line give Roger the ball

 

[Brax]

I'm laughing hysterically at the two votes for Dak, but everyone is entitled to his own opinion, misguided as it may be. I'm not sure where the evidence is coming from that points to Dak being this crunch time hero, but whatever.

QB draw with 14 seconds left that’s a classic

Answer: The old guy.

Maybe they should resign him for playoff games only, better chance with the 80 year old guy

Here you go

Aikman 14 4th quarter comebacks 22 game winning drives.

The numbers say Romo.

I would look for who has the highest percentage of 4th quarter drives and specifically, last chance drives. He is not a choice, but I would take Roger Staubach over all these guys because he had that something, the will to just win games like that. Aikman had it too, just not as much as Roger, IMO.

Most the time Troy, and Emmitt, had us in the lead so he did not need to make a comeback.

 

[Redsfan_83]

We could be up 24 and I would only trust Troy, lol

Yep.... also, don't most of Dak's comebacks go back to the early years, and definitely pre-injury.

 

[CowboyFrog]

Roger.

this 100%

 

[Ring6]

Roger.

 

[MarcusRock]

How many time did they fail? Total numbers don’t credit the QBs because for most of Troy’s career he was blowing people out.

In 1990 the Cowboys went 7-9, and Troy Aikman had 6 game winning drives. Thats astounding. The next 6 straight years the team won 10+ games and he never needed more than 2.

Dak and Tony often put their teams in situations to need a comeback.

We'll have none of that critical thinking doohickey 'round these parts. Is that what you hippies think is cool and all? Lol

 

[MyFairLady]

People seriously need to go back and watch Aikman throw a football. Dak looks like an absolute hack in comparison. Heck Jordan Love makes Dak look like a hack.

it doesnt show any of them to be a choker...but if you do playoff's 1 is not like the other 2....

 

[SteveTheCowboy]

it doesnt show any of them to be a choker...but if you do playoff's 1 is not like the other 2....

Agreed. But again....thats a 30,000 foot view. Maybe of the other 2, one was a lot closer....in terms of quality of their play.
Not that it really matters NOW.
