Fans have a short memory - Tony Romo 2014 **merged**

[Galian Beast]

Not sure how anyone could possibly compare Romo to Prescott. It's night and day right now. Will this kid continue to improve? Absolutely. Is he at Romo's level? Not even close. When Romo returns, the offense will open up, we'll be able to pass down field, and Elliott's production will increase even more.

Stunning how short people's memory's are and the media certainly doesn't want to help.

Is Romo at that level? Last year, when healthy, he wasn't that Romo. That was two broken collarbones and a broken back ago.

If Dak plays great at Lambeau, I'm convinced. You stay with him

 

[Zordon]

2 years/multiple injuries ago....

 

[SDCowboy]

It's not 2014 anymore, nor is Tony still 34. We also didn't have Dak.

 

[Ken]

No one forgets....everyone doubts he can be that again for any length of time.

Problem is Romo is no longer at Romo's level when you guys going to get that through your heads probably when he retires this year

 

[SDCowboy]

Maybe we should bring up a video package of Staubach and and try to bring him back too.

 

[shabazz]

I think Mark Sanchez should be brought into the conversation to start in week 8

I don't want to see a video of Staubach's package

And two years older.
If we're talking Dak vs. a 26-year-old Romo, no question.
But we're talking Dak vs. a 36-year-old Romo who has already had two back issues, and a Romo who got injured on a relatively routine scramble.

First.. these are all assumptions. We don't know what the chemistry or flow to the offense will look like with Romo back in the line up. As another poster pointed out, this is not a video game. The point being missed here is that WE DO REMEMBER... we've all been on the "Romocoaster for a decade"... All these neat things will happen when he comes back yet I've felt like **** at the end of each season since 2006. Once again I think Romo's a heck of a guy and a great competitor. What's stunning to me is the complete sweep under the rug of what's Romo does WRONG..

Greenbay is one of the toughest teams on our schedule and if Dak can hang with Aaron Rodgers what more can you ask for? It doesn't get much tougher than Greenbay, the only other teams on our schedule that will pose as much difficulty is Minnesota and Pittsburgh. Interestingly, Minnesota and Pittsburgh both run a similar style of offense to Greenbay.

You were so close to being funny there. Too bad what I wrote wasn't worded in a way where that joke makes sense.

I've never changed my mind that Romo is a better QB but Dak is playing so well that I do get the "Ain't Broke, Don't Fix It" idea for keeping Dak as the starter. I do think Romo starts again but Dak has an amazing NFL career - and starts sooner rather than later.

The only thing I don't get is the people that have to attack Romo in order to support Dak.

This was Romo in 2014. Not today.

And Prescott does things Romo never was able to do. He throws better screens and has the ability to do the Qb Option.

Sure Romo has some things Prescott cant do right now. But first that was in 2014 right now Romo is not this player anymore.Second Prescott is the future why pull him if he is already playing on this level ? I dont see a big dropoff production wise of our offense between those two QBs.

Remember, he had 9 ints in all of 2014 regular and postseason combined. Yet 3 of those came in week one vs SF. So 6 ints after that 16 games.
He can be a notoriously slow starter, even though the team has seemed to win the opener a lot lately.

Last year, in his only full healthy game--the opener vs New York

80% completion rate
103 QB rating
game winning TD pass

it's not like he was terrible, though yes, he was rusty.

I think people are missing the bigger picture when they talk about who is better QB overall today. It's about not slowing down or stopping the progress of a rookie who already looks amazing and who has built so much chemistry with the tream, right now.

The future with Dak is far more important than finishing this one with Romo.

lol @ everyone saying what they said in the video in 2014...if tony couldnt perform at a high level, he'd personally hang it up. he knows himself.

it's not swept under the rug, it's just that... every single QB in history does some things wrong. They all throw picks, make ill advised throws, LOSE big games... every single one of them. So we focus on what he's done right, how he's done it... how he's progressed, matured, become more efficient and cerebral. his time may be done.. if not it will be soon. But damn, we can't appreciate that with out being delusional?
