ESPN - Jerry Jones can't blow this: Prescott has to start over Romo

[rpntex]

And what has that gotten us besides 2 playoff wins in a decade? Romo isnt Tom Brady. According to the Romo homers, he needs a perfect team to win it all. Should have rebuild this team a long time ago.

First off, I'm not a "Romo Homer". I just don't think it's fair to lay everything at the feet of the quarterback in a sport as team oriented as football. That goes for every team, and every quarterback. I don't look at the patriots and say "Tom Brady won so many Super Bowls, and lost so many". Roger Staubach's Super Bowl record isn't 2-2. Rather, the Dallas Cowboys Super Bowl record is 2-2 with him at quarterback.

Second, I'm not saying that Romo needs a "perfect team" around him to win. He's had all the ingredients at times, but things have happened – some on his part, but more not on his part to sidetrack the Cowboys' opportunities. For instance, hold him accountable or responsible for Parcells' foolish game plan against Seattle in 06 is stupid. Dallas was playing a Seattle secondary that included a grocery bagger and a convenient store clerk, yet Parcells refused to throw the football. It should have never come down to any last-second field goal.

The same can be said for the 2007 playoff loss against the Giants. There were so many individual errors that could've turned this game on it's ear. The only real mistake Romo made – if you can collect that – was the interception on the desperation throw on the last play of the game. Otherwise, there was, in no particular order

1) and offense of game plan that left the line and Marion Barber gassed before the end of the first half
2) A critical (and bogus) offsides penalty against Demarcus Ware, on third down, on the Giants two-minute scoring drive before half.
3) and absolutely stupid pass interference penalty against Jacques Reeves on that same two minute drive before half. It also came on third down and the gated a defensive stop.
4) Patrick Crayton (X 2)

Romo was terrible against Minnesota in the 09 playoffs, but then again, he spent the time throwing from his backside thanks to a porous offensive line.

Then came 2014, in which Romo was absolutely brilliant aside from the open game against the Niners. Dallas did not lose to Green Bay because of Romo… that launch was completely on the defense they could not get a stop at any time, nor could it put any pressure on a one-legged Aaron Rodgers.

Nothing personal, I just think it's stupid to blame the quarterback for things that are beyond his control.

Was it the teams fault when he botched the snap against the Seahawks? Was it the teams fault when he only scored 6 points against the Eagles? Was it the teams fault when he only scored 3 points against the Vikings in the playoffs? Was it the teams fault when he started the season 1-5 and a 50 year old QB EASILY outplayed Romo while winning more games?I am going to assume it was THE TEAMS FAULT when he blew it against the Giants to make the playoffs, or when he threw three picks against the Commanders, or when he BLEW THE LEAD by throwing back to back INTs against the Packers(led by Matt Flynn) the following season. LOL.

Never Romos fault. Yeah, those 8-8 seasons are so great. 2 playoff wins in a decade while a guy like Andrew Luck took over a 2-14 team and has won more playoff games in much, much less time. And no "BUT THE DEFENSE" excuse. Just watch the Chiefs/Colts post season game.

Some guys are good regular season QBs, some guys are just horrible post season QBs. Romo is one of those guys. 10 years of data to back this up. He was never clutch, and he isnt going to become Tom Brady at this point in his career. Stick a fork in him and move on already. Been saying that since he blew it against the Commanders. This is Daks team now.

And what are his postseason stats and data you speak of? You are just proving that you don't know what in the hell you are talking about.

Do I really need to sit here and break down each of his playoff games? Let alone the 30 last come from behind drives he has had that according to you make him not clutch.

And u bring up the botched snap, really? Do you even know what else happened in that game?

I feel like I'm talking to an Eagles fan that just got done polishing off an 18 pack of Milwaukee's Best or something.

You just wasted your time answering a complete and total buffoon on this topic.
Sorry for your loss.

 

[Novacek84]

Do you remember Terry Glenn fumbling out of the side of his own endzone to give up a safety? Because that is what put us behind. Romo drove them back down the field and ultimately lost that snap, but the game was much more than that.

Also, Gramatica... all he had to do was fall in front of babeanoux or however you spell his name and Romo scores/gets the 1st down.

You gave plenty of examples, and even the Giants game in '07, that was not Romo's fault we lost.I don't remember the WR but he was wide open to the flag and just stopped on his route.

The other thing about the Seahawks game, and this never gets mentioned, is that Hasselbeck got hot late in that game. So even if they make the FG, I believe to this day that SEA would have driven back down and scored because that FG attempt was not the last play of the game.

In the end, all players that played in any playoff loss and made a mistake share in some blame for the loss.
That certainly includes Romo.

But really, they've had 6 playoff games.
4 of them were down to the wire,
one was a blowout win,
the other a blowout loss.

The one game where they were completely overwhelmed was the one at Minnesota. That one had injuries, a collapsing defense and horrific o-line, battered room...nightmare. great pass rush, collapsing line, big lead, dome crowd... equals no chance.

The rest, Dallas either won or were in it until the absolute very end.
Romo's career playoff passer rating is excellent, btw. Better than most HOFes.

here's to hoping Dak gets his chances with this beastly line and run game eventually.

 

[Kevinicus]

Many placed the last two games especially the Packers as the last measurement . Now your adding the Eagle game which is fine. And then after criticizing the media for already making their decision this one more game your willing to concede it to Dak.

I'm not just singling you out. I'm sure there are others but your post spurred my response.

Many of these have not been haters of Romo or devalued his worth . Jimmy initially supported bringing Romo back. Troy has been supported of Romo but Dak continued to impress them. They also leave the door open if Dak stumbles to still bring Romo back.

After listening to Jerry's comments I'd say he's rethinking his initial comments about when Romo will return as well.

But to assume and lash out at those( and I'm not saying you are but again this is to those who are ) who are saying it's the right decision or instinct to leave Dak in now are Romo haters or football idiots is not true bordering on an agenda of their own . We have a lengthy list of hall of fame coaches and players to support our notion.

I'm sure there is a few Romo haters and idiots out there while there's also some Romo blind homers who will never be able to leave their emotion at the door. But this doesn't represent the media I listened to yesterday including the above mentioned . It certainly doesn't represent the Cowboy fans I know who feel that we should leave Dak in for now.
Thanks

A lot of people had expectations for the kind of teams Cincinnati and GB would be that haven't come to fruition. Cincy is sitting at 2-4 and have not been impressive at all this year. Their star TE still isn't playing either. GBs offense was expected to be one of the best. Instead, it is one of the worst. Rodgers went from looking "off" to downright bad yesterday. The expectations for those teams were simply off, and the things that they were expected to do that would put pressure on Dak did not materialize.

We can speculate on who will be a real test, but we can't know for sure. Many expected Rodgers to light up our defense while facing no pass rush and score a lot of points which would put more pressure on the Cowboys offense, making it harder to stick with a running game, or that their #1 ranked rush defense to put up more of a resistance than some of the other teams we have faced. The fact that these expectations were not met doesn't mean that Dak still gets a pass on the test. It simply means that the test didn't take place (and I don't think he had a very good game anyway).

He simply hasn't faced a team that he has had to try and outscore. He hasn't faced a defense that has applied a lot of pressure. He hasn't had to throw into tight windows. He hasn't been asked to carry, or be the prime focus of, the offense. He just hasn't. We can guess on when those things might occur, but it's only a guess. We don't know what other teams are going to do...or what they can do against the rest of the team. Only in the Giants game have we seen where he had to deal with a running game that wasn't working, and he did not do that good.

What we can see is that the offense is predicated on the running game and that almost everything that Dak does is built off of that as well.

Romo masked the weaknesses of this team for years. And why Jerry is indebted to him . Those 8-8 years had a defense which reflected teams in history with 4 or 5 wins.

Granted Romo hasn't been Tom Brady but he enabled Jerry to continue his foolishness in his horrible GM decisions. We went years with the only 2 consistent Pro Bowlers in Ware and Witten besides some occasional appearances with Romo the only other multiple selection until Garrett started influencing the drafts.

The process has been too slow but we finally built a better team surrounding Romo. Unfortunately it doesn't look like Romo may have survived the beating to see if he truly is enough for the next level.

But I understand why this segment of diehard Romo fans feel awful Romo might not be able to finally enjoy it and almost desperate for him to get what they perceive as his deserved chance to take full advantage .

There's still time for it to play out. Romo has Jerry on his side and a big chunk of the fan base which have supported Romo when he provided about the only highlife reels we had. Emotion is a real virtue.

I too often have fun with all of this but Im a Cowboy fan first. I've been a critic of Romo over the years but I do still realize what his value has been. I just wanna win.I'm truly excited about our future with Dak and Zeke and you never know when that future will begin.

We've seen in this era very fast turnarounds when you hit on the talent . And Dak might turn out to be more talented than Romo. Time will tell .And it might end up shining a lower light on Romo's career. History always has a better way of telling the story than we can now without emotions attached.

We're a fanbase so hungry to win. After all of these years of disappointment and frustration the fanbase is energized taking on a life of its own.

Romo provided a spark for years but like my father taught me early in sports fandom. Old legends never die and new ones are born everyday.

It's always difficult letting go and we all don't always sense when that time is but it's difficult for me to criticize those who are seeing it .Looks like more are seeing it too. Enough to possibly influence the powers that be to see where it plays out.

Awesome read. Thanks.

if the Eagles lose to Vikings they will be a team with a losing record if we beat them too and possibly not measuring up. Big Ben might be out when we go to Pittsburgh.

Bottom line is we keep winning. And we're winning in a different fashion than we did with Romo. We're not getting behind needing late game comebacks because we're playing basically mistake free football .

We have had to play from behind against 49ers and of course our only loss against NY.

But we're wanting these Romo type miracle comebacks as the bar to measure. In many of those games we got off to slow starts or made errors which put us behind . There's a reason we had so many 4th qtr comebacks. We were always behind , often due to our own team shortcomings or Romo's blunders.

This team is winning much like we did in 2014 without needing those type of comebacks . If Romo was healthy he'd of been doing much in the same way. But we must begin giving Dak some credit too. He's poise in the pocket . Moving around avoiding the pressure and sacks almost effortless making the throws and plays .

It's a different style all together. He's not audibling as much at the LOS. We don't have the penalties and confusion we always seemed to have . Leading the league converting 3rd downs another huge impact .

I'm not concerned we're 20th in the league in passing while still being 3rd in offense . And Dak is going downfield . He had throws over 40 yards. Last drive before half was a typical Romo drive downfield . I really don't see how we're missing anything from Romo at this point.

If we're waiting for us to lose a game we'd probably lose with Romo . That's fine . It's probably going to happen . Dak will have an off game. He had several errors in this game but he overcame them. The criteria for Dak appears to be much tougher than some had for Romo who often excused other factors . Just saying...

We were always behind because of a terrible defense that let teams score. We haven't shown that this year.

People don't want great come from behind wins, but that is just one of the ways that a QB can be tested. I mentioned others. Teams focusing on the pass and not the run. Teams shutting down the run making the team one dimensional. Dealing with a ferocious pass rush. Pressure to keep pace with scoring. These are just some of the way a QB can be tested. The QB is not tested all that much when defenses focus on the run and still can't stop it. They're not tested when they have tremendous pass protection. They're not tested that much when the offense is predicated on the run and much of the passing game is play action and misdirection. Dak has simply been fortunate enough to be playing in situations that have tested the QB position about as little as possible through 6 games.

One thing I think Dak definitely needs to work on is his pocket awareness. Not his poise, that is good. However, he sometimes shows a lack of feel for the pressure when it's closing in around him. I think he gets a little too comfortable sometimes behind that line.

The last drive before the half wasn't a typical drive of any QB. It wasn't one that was really impressive on anyone's part either. It was 2 short runs, a big run by Lucky, a defender that fell down, and a good throw. Dak was only involved on 2 plays, and on one of them the defender fell down and he had an easy play. The TD pass was well done though, possibly the most impressive throw of the game/season. But really, just one play on that drive isn't indicative of much.

I think Dak just has a lot to show before you go and replace one of the elite QBs in the league. It's hard to show (or not show) when you don't get tested. But I think there are signs of where he has a lot of growth to do before being at Romo's level.

 

[Diehardblues]

I hear ya. I understand what Romo brings but he has weaknesses too. Good points though with much I can agree with. I have to imagine Dak will only get better with time. I'm not ruling out we still might need Romo before the season is over.

I thought for sure by now it would be crystal clear Romo would return. But Dak keeps playing his way in. I still think we'll see Romo sooner than later.

 

[toto1939]

What we can see is that the offense is predicated on the running game and that almost everything that Dak does is built off of that as well.

So, if QBs really don't make that much difference, how about keeping the guy making around $500,000 and getting rid of the $108,000,000 man?

Of course they make a difference. Sometimes moreso than others.

 

[DandyDon52]

Well anyone saying dak should be the starter should not talk bad of Romo, there is no need or reason for that.
I also think that though dak should be named starter for rest of season, win or lose, that he should not automatically
be the qb of the future, and you toss tony aside.
Tony and Dak could compete for the job next season. and one gets the starter role, and the other is bkup.

Many say dump tony and his salary, but I think having tony as bkup is actually a very good thing.
Without tony lets say dak gets hurt, then it is sanchez or moore in as starter. so who would you rather have,
those 2 or tony ??
And if next year they want to give tony a chance to start and make a last run, that if fine with me.
The one thing they need to do now is publicly say it is daks job for rest of season, so he doesnt have to
be worried about 1 messup, and they bench him for tony.
They need to go all in on Dak at this point.

I will say this, even romo diehard fans, before the season looked at the GB game as a loss for tony......didnt you?
But Dak won convincinly, in lambeau, so lets get behind him and see what happens.
And lets keep tony and show him some respect, and dont annoint dak as qb of the future just yet, he hasnt won any playoff games yet,
and lets make it open competition next year between the 2.

That is what I suggested back before tony was hurt in PS, and pretty much everyone blasted me for that.
I saw that dak had something special, and wanted him to be the starter, and he has now proven me right.
I was sort of glad tony got hurt , so dak would get to start, I wanted to see if I was right about him, and I was, and he has been
amazing so far.
But at same time I dont like seeing tony disrespected or made fun of. Or saying he is finished, because I dont think he is yet.

My whole desire is to just see dak finish his cinderella story this year, it is similar to bradys first year and russell wilson 1st year.
Jerry needs to go ahead and commit to dak for this season only. And tony would be there ready to go if needed.

I think Dak should be the starter and don't usually make it a habit of criticizing Romo. That's contrary to popular belief. There are many here who will tell you I am the biggest Romo critic. I'll say it once more. I appreciate what he has brought to the table but right now I am laser focused on keeping this momentum, environment, focus moving forward.

Tony and Dak could compete for the job next season. and one gets the starter role, and the other is bkup.

I disagree here. Romo will be 37. He should backup Dak for the remainder of this year and then think long & hard about either extending his career in Dallas as a backup or retiring.

And if next year they want to give tony a chance to start and make a last run, that if fine with me.

I disagree again. When I think back to last season as a die hard Laker fan, I think about the fact that my beloved Lakers wagered a whole season of development to appease the Kobe farewell tour. I love Kobe to death but, with the exception of his magical last home game, that season should be erased from the history books.

The one thing they need to do now is publicly say it is daks job for rest of season, so he doesnt have to
be worried about 1 messup, and they bench him for tony.
They need to go all in on Dak at this point.

I wholeheartedly agree. This would be a very strong strategic move and could potentially net us some post season honors.

I will say this, even romo diehard fans, before the season looked at the GB game as a loss for tony......didnt you?
But Dak won convincinly, in lambeau, so lets get behind him and see what happens.

In my opinion, this is an outstanding point. I would love to see some of them admit it but I won't hold my breath.

so lets get behind him and see what happens.
And lets keep tony and show him some respect, and dont annoint dak as qb of the future just yet, he hasnt won any playoff games yet,
and lets make it open competition next year between the 2.

Getting fully behind Dak would be the best option for all Cowboys fans right now. Let's see how far this very good thing will go this year. I just can't subscribe to the open competition thing next year but perhaps my opinion may change based upon how the season plays out with Dak at the helm. I believe right now he has earned the right to have an extended audition through the end of this season.

That is what I suggested back before tony was hurt in PS, and pretty much everyone blasted me for that.
I saw that dak had something special, and wanted him to be the starter, and he has now proven me right.
I was sort of glad tony got hurt , so dak would get to start, I wanted to see if I was right about him, and I was, and he has been
amazing so far.
But at same time I dont like seeing tony disrespected or made fun of. Or saying he is finished, because I dont think he is yet.

I wouldn't wish injury on anyone but we have been blessed with an opportunity to see what our 4th rounder has to offer earlier than we would have ever known had Romo been healthy. This should be a double positive with Romo getting healthy just as long as he will remain as backup and take it well. As a veteran leader, Romo would show me a lot right now if he continued to support Dak from the bench.

My whole desire is to just see dak finish his cinderella story this year, it is similar to bradys first year and russell wilson 1st year.
Jerry needs to go ahead and commit to dak for this season only. And tony would be there ready to go if needed.

I couldn't agree more. It's an incredible Cindrella story. Will Jerry steal the slipper and shoehorn it onto Romo's foot?

I would never pencil in any game as a loss, especially with Romo.

I did figure GB would be one of the tougher games on the schedule, but I also expected their offense to be one of the best in the league, not one of the worst.

Dak did not go up there and win, the Cowboys did. Dak is down the list of reasons why (behind the OL, Zeke, Defense, Rodgers, etc.).

Well if we look back in the schedule and prediciton threads, most had GB down as a L

 

[Tusan_Homichi]

I'm 50/50 right now. I can see why you'd keep Dak playing since everything is rolling so well right now. However, he isn't on Romo's level as a passer. He does add some offensive wrinkles by just presenting the potential of running, but Romo is basically an offensive coordinator on the field.

I dunno. I think if Romo can come in and not be rusty, he'd give us a better chance at a deep playoff run. I just don't know if that's possible.

 

[Kevinicus]

Well if we look back in the schedule and prediciton threads, most had GB down as a L

Well, if people are going to pick a game it seemed more likely than most. I doubt anyone predicted an undefeated season. I would also wager that everyone who made such a prediction also expected GB to have a top offense.
