Twitter: For fans concerned about Dak passing under 200 yards

[Oh_Canada]

But...but...Romo threw for 300 yds every game....

Trust me you do NOT want to argue numbers with @AdamJT13 . That dude will school you and steal your lunch money!

Facts.k

It's hilarious. Many of y'all were itching and moaning when we had a high tempo gun slinger offense under Romo. He takes too many risks y'all said. Now y'all are itching and moaning about a more conservative approach with Dak. FANS!! I tell ya. Lmao

You're making a lot of assumptions. You're assuming that the same people are talking about both.

The problem wasn't that Romo took too many risks. Romo took risks to keep us in games because we had bad defenses. Please look up Romo's splits and look at his QB rating when playing with a lead. Actually, I'll help you out. He had a 3-1 td to interception ratio and a 103.3 QB rating.

Romo didn't have the luxury of good defense most of his career, but go ahead and compare him to Dak.

Just like in most businesses and even our own political system you can find stats somehow some way of spinning them as being positive to help your argument

This is cute but lets see how it goes going forward and more importantly in the playoffs I can careless about being a "regular season hero"

BTW .......is this from our own Cowboy Zone poster to Bob Sturm?

Sturm is very familiar with this forum and the statistical info posted here over the years, so he recognizes the names and knows who he can trust.

If Dak was an elite passer or looked like he was going to become one, we wouldn't be having these discussions. There are many games where Romo threw under 300 yards per game, but when you're averaging in the 6s per attempt, there is a problem and if the defense doesn't cover the difference, you're going to lose games.

 

[Wizarus]

Does not change the fact that the Defense prevented the Giants from scoring a single TD all game until garbage time, and this offense still could not put the game away until late in the 4th quarter.

I'm a Huge Romo fan. This was not an attack on Romo. I would rather have a healthy Romo under center any day. I'm just sick of the hate of the QB position. All of Romos career all we read was anti Romo stuff. Now we have a new QB and the same tired song. It's depressing coming onto the forums at times. I wasn't trying to say the same fans are doing both. It's just a broad statement at fans. I for one will support our QB regardless of my preference of who I would have liked under center

 

[Nexx]

Can we see playoff stats using the same criteria?

 

[percyhoward]

That bogus stat doesn't tell us nothing when we don't even know who the teams were just the numbers. They could've been against Browns type teams. Need more info imo.

That's a 31- game sample. You want to try to explain how ALL 31 QB with a 94-96 rating happened to be facing bad teams?

Do you think QB who face good teams can't post a 95 rating for some reason?

Continue to support him when he doesn't get the job done against the elite teams in the NFL. Beating the now 0-2 Giants and having another sub 200 game isn't going to cut it.

 

[JustChip]

There are a lot of fans who value stats as much or more than winning.

It’s the Fantasy Football effect.

Since 2008, teams with less than 200 yards passing, 6.2 to 6.4 YPA and 0 interceptions are 11-0 against winning teams, including 10-0 against playoff teams.

And how much does that change with 1 interception?

That is an unbelievable stat.


Love the shoutout for @AdamJT13

I saw improvement. More confidence and a freedom to run an offense that's more designed to his skill set. Were there drives stopped? Of course. Were they all Daks fault? One maybe. Otherwise the rest of the offense committed penalties negating good plays. But sure let's blame the qb

The fact that you posted a stat that you seem to proud to have sourced without thinking about how flawed it was is very interesting.

Since 2008 this only occurred 11 times with 32 NFL teams? That is barely 1 game per year...

I don’t remember fans complaining about Romo passing for less than 200 yards against GB in the playoffs. Take away his short pass to TWill who took it the distance and Romo was close to 150 yards.

The defense, Murray, and Bailey were faulted for that game and Romo was praised for a masterful performance.

I'm a huge romo fan like I said many times. On the other forums I defended him to the end. But I'm a realist. Football is a team sport. For some reason peoope think the QB is the only one who should get credit or blame for performance of his teammates. Mind boggling.

Romo went 15 for 19 with two touchdowns, while Murray fumbled and the defense gave up 316 yards to Rogers who was injured and 101 rushing yards Lacy.

Romo also had a deep pass that was incorrectly ruled incomplete. He played a pretty perfect game...
