Let's take a look at Tony Romo. A guy no one drafted, out of all the rounds, the entire draft, NO ONE saw anything in him. He played for a small school, and wound up with the top franchise in sports. He was gifted a HOF wide receiving core from the onset. To his advantage, he was able to take his small opportunity and turn it into multi millions. On his journey, he made things so much harder on him by escaping the pocket way too soon. Because of this, he's been hit, battered, beaten.
In 2014, 8 years after his first start, he finally was able to cut back on INTs, and wound up with solid stats. In the playoffs, we were lucky to get out of the Detroit game because of the refs bad call on the Lions. In the Green bay game, he made crucial mistakes before half time, and crucial mistakes at the end of the game.
Dak Prescott - 4th round rookie who played in the hardest division in college football. He took a sorry Mississippi State team to #1 in the country for weeks.
He was overlooked do to his running. Why did he run so much? You have to run when your receivers suck.
Fast forward: Romo gets hurt because he escapes the pocket for no reason. Elliott actually got his block in, all he had to do is stand in and make the pass. With his injury history, why leave the pocket anyways (IN PRESEASON)
Dak takes over. First game, Dez drops an easy touch down pass. Beasley drops an easy touch down. With those TD passes, we win.
Dak takes his team to an 8-1 record after that. He had a couple of shaky games early on but pulled it together to get wins. You know how some said, what if they figure Dak out, what will he do then. I think your questions have been answered. A couple of teams threw out some new wrinkles, but as the game went on, he figured it out, and pulled it out for us, in his FIRST YEAR. He doesn't make a ton of mistakes, he's just a very very smart QB. He takes the short to intermediate passes, and he goes deep when necessary.
You have Romo fans that think that throwing 300 plus yards means you're a winning QB. If this is the case, why didn't he go past the 2nd round again? Why haven't Ryan won anything? I can go on and on with QBs who threw for 300 plus who have never even sniffed the Super Bowl. Yards mean NOTHING.
Most people around these parts have no clue what a winning QB looks like. They must be like 21 or 28 years old, all they know is Tony Romo. My suggestion is to go root for another team if you can't get on board with Dak Prescott. Dak is a workout warrior who's never given the job back after getting the job due to injury.
The other day I was getting my oil changed, while sitting in the lobby, I saw this ESPN magazine with Dak Prescott on the front. I decided to pick it up and read it. It was AMAZING, and if I find the magazine, I'll post the entire article here.
We are in the midst of a possible Super Bowl run and all fans can talk about is Romo. We have the present, the future right before our own eyes and this is how you guys treat him. I'm hesitant to say this, but most of us don't deserve a Super Bowl.
