Imagine your daily goal being to make sure to take shots at a human you've never met daily..........
Well that's the typical behavior of a low IQ coward. They're easily recognizable. The words they type on football forums pretending to be a fan gives them away all the time.


They also hide after wins.... we all know who they are.

The eye test tells me that. He locks up too many times. Look it, I like Dak as a man. How can you not? He just doesn’t have the pedigree to lead this team further in the playoffs. And over 90% of the other quarterbacks don’t either.
Ugh….the dreaded “eye test” lol.

If you want to be completely honest, at least the QB we have gives us a chance and is better than a lot of QBs some teams are stuck with. Having a high draft pick doesn’t guarantee getting the next Troy Aikman. Your odds are a lot better of ending up with the next JaMarcus Russell than you are the next Aikman. Just look around the league at some of the QBs that were taken in the first round that have gone bust the past few years. Washington has burned at least five first round draft picks on QBs the past two decades, two in the top five and they’re still looking for a QB. The Jets have been struggling to find a QB ever since they moved on from Joe Namath. You guys who think it’s easy finding a QB that can play consistently from week to week haven’t been following football very long.
I didn’t say it was easy finding the next Aikman. It’s extremely difficult. But I do know this…as having been a fan of this team since ‘71 you can’t be trotting out FA’s like Romo or fourth rounders like the current guy and expect to win Super Bowls.

I stand by my comments.

Where were you a few years ago when Nick Foles or Joe Flacco won their SBs? Or when Tom Brady a 6th rounder won 7 of them lol?

Means literally nothing.
Thats not true. Obviously the picture shows a very spring time atmosphere. They are supposedly going to be exerting themselves physically. They are wearing shorts. Yet also hoodies like it's December. So, either it's a photo op trying to look cool or they enjoy sweating for no reason.

Maybe some do, but I still think there are plenty who remember him as being worse than he ever was (which is the main reason I responded to the perceived criticism of him). Some will only look at playoff victories, which are used to judge quarterbacks but no other player.

While I was trying to find the photo/article about him practicing with his teammates on their own, I ran across this one from when he retired that lays out how good he actually was: https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/...in-big-moments-during-his-career-think-again/

It's a shame that we didn't put it together around him to get him a title. Some will always believe he wasn't good enough because of that, but if the Ravens can do it with Dilfer, if the Bucs can do it with Brad Johnson, Raiders with Jim Plunkett, Giants with Jeff Hostetler and even the Eagles with Nick Foles, there really can be no doubt that we could win a title with Romo or with Dak. The team simply hasn't been good enough, and the quarterbacks get the blame for it.

Let me add that that doesn't mean the QB is above criticism, but usually in a loss there are multiple reasons for it. The QB may be a small part, but change one of the other factors and maybe the QB's small part wouldn't have mattered. After all, QBs make mistakes in victories too. They miss passes they shouldn't have missed. They throw interceptions. But if the defense holds up or the running game dominates, then those mistakes might not matter and what's remembered are the plays they made instead of the mistakes they made.
Good article and much of the data I’ve seen, but it’s a good reminder. I think Romo was a great QB and one that teams and especially D coordinators had to scheme against. I think he was the biggest weapon for the teams he led. Thanks for sharing.

As for the OP, I don’t really care about the photo because it doesn’t show anything. I can’t stand any social media posts where the poster is trying to highlight themselves “putting in work”. It just always looks packaged telling one of their clingers-on to take a photo of them.

If the photo is part of Dak trying to get better as he stated he needed and wanted to, I think it’s awesome. Whether or not it makes a difference in terms of getting on the same page with his WRs, I applaud him for having a plan and knocking it down block by block assuming this is that. I am not confident in the QB, but I respect him for what I see as someone that will grind and work his tail off, and someone with so much courage to speak out on his depression and his personal and at times excruciating journey.

Where a player is drafted or even if they’re not drafted, makes no difference once they get to the NFL. Kurt Warner and Warren Moon weren’t drafted, but both are in the Hall of Fame. It made no difference that Joe Montana and Tom Brady were drafted in the third round and sixth round. Romo was one of the best QBs the Cowboys have had and has almost all the franchise passing records. Dak has been a very good QB over his career. Both he and Romo were better than a lot of QBs that were drafted in the first round. You’re wrong thinking a QB has to be drafted with a high pick to win a Super Bowl. There’s a number of QBs that won championships that weren’t drafted with a high pick.

You are allowed to have any opinion you want just like I’m allowed to disagree with that opinion. Trust me on this site you can say and do whatever you want.
Allowed? Sure. Argue about it? Hmm...not very productive unless you are really in to that kind of thing.

Insult others for differing opinions? Actually that isn't allowed.

when they exercize their opinion over and over in threads that have nothing to do with QB then its overkill and trolling oe even in threads that are related to the QB. We have some hard headed folks here. and some folks that think they are right. om BOTH sides of the argument. I personally beileve OP falls into that category. he didnt start this thread to talk about the fine work our QB 1 and and WR1 are doing although Im gald they are. He started to trigger the exact people that came into the thread and acted the way they did. This site allows it so it isnt ever going to stop.

Both sides can be childish as you know what.

Man, you'd think I was on an Eagles or Giants board with these comments. WOW.

Well a few of the fake Cowboys fans/low IQ knuckle dragging cowards who hate Dak from live satellite feed from their parents basements ARE Eagles, Giants and Commanders fans.

Some of them are long time posters here who have been pretending to be a Cowboys fan. Like I said before, they're the cowards who hide when the Cowboys win and only post after losses.

We all know who they are.

Besides Brady and Warner there have been FIVE quarterbacks who have won SB’s drafted in the 4th round or higher:

• Bart Starr - Round 17

• Rodger Staubach - Round 10… certainly would have been 1st overall if not for military commitment.

• Joe Theismann - Round 4

• Mark Rypien - Round 6

• Brad Johnson - Round 9

That’s it. Not several. Warner is the only FA to win one and he’s a HOFer and league MVP.

This happened with Cooper and he became a scapegoat. He died ig every summer since it’s been built.

Again, the problem with Dak is his ability to process the field and make good decisions.

Ok like I said you are allowed to have any opinion you want just like anyone is allowed to disagree with you want. Where's the confusion? Nobody said anything about "insulting" others being allowed......

But people do. I'd love to share some of my DM's with you showing some of the ignorance if you're in to that kind of thing.

Just because you say it over and over doesn't make it true. This has been disproven over and over again.

Draft status is irrelevant....so Eli won his 2 rings because he was the 1st overall pick?

My theory is most of these guys are Eagle fans pretending to be Cowboy fans. No respectable Cowboy fan would post 100 percent of the time negative stuff about the Cowboys. This is Eagles fans trying to rile this site up. That's typically not a Giants fans MO. Eagles fans are the only ones low enough to do such a thing.

Romo is a scapegoat for many people. This thread is a great example...just one more in a big pile.

Great...they are hanging out in the backyard together. That's cool. Not huge deal but cool.

"But...but ROMOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!"



It's weird.

(and no...I don't feel any hypocrisy is being pointed out to me. 1st off...not sure I had any specific information or opinion about what romo did in April. A report he played golf? Mkay. 2ndly...that was years and years ago...and I don;t really care what I or anyone else thinks of it NOW.)
Dak-Stan’s started leveraging the valid excuses that existed when Romo was here for their boy Dak, as he got exposed. Among them, the Garrett excuse when they used to yap about how Dak was a leader, unlike Romo. Then they started to say it was Garrett’s fault, when Dak never had Garrett as a play caller, unlike Romo, who had to deal with his ineptitude for years.
