How does Dak Prescott compare to other great QB’s of this era?

[JustChip]

The same Danny White that actually made it to an NFC Championship. Yes, that Danny White.

He actually led us to 3 or 4 straight NFCC games. And would've won at least 1 were it not a fingertip grasp of Drew's jersey after Dwight made "The Catch".

 

[pansophy]

But the play I referenced wasn't a go route - it was a deep out that Dez was 2-3 steps from going out of bounds.

That’s basically the route I saw in the clip from camp.

 

[Diehardblues]

I believe Danny White actually led the league in passing one year if I recall correctly. He was a prolific passer. His career ending injury was the beginning of the end for Landry in 1986.

In my mind being a QB away means that all of those pieces are established and all that is left is QB. So we could win a super bowl this year, but a lot of pieces would have to come together this year that we didn’t have last year.

Super Bowl teams have holes, too.

It was 3.

Many fans forget Danny fumbled the ball on the ensuing possession about midfield with time still to set up for FG.

Especially in the salary cap era

Cool. I also saw a clip of him with an absolutely perfect ball to Tavon on a 9-route that was probably a 35 yard gain. The biggest thing I think he needs to improve on is doing that when the pressure is on and the pocket is getting pushed back into him. That's what happened the last 1/2 of last year and he didn't handle it well. But he was a 2nd year QB and it shouldn't be surprising.

You probably remember this, but didn't Danny break his wrist the next play after Dorsett had just scored on a screen pass, but it was negated by a Phil Pozderac holding call?

Does that work kinda how the way Blake Bortles “made it” to a championship game? I’m not familiar with made up stats, so you’ll have to enlighten us.

Bortles is a great example of what Dak could become if we could build a defense like theirs.

And there’s no guarantees they ever make it to a SB. The problem with teams built like that in Cap era is you can’t hold them together very long and why a great QB can keep you in contention longer or more years.

Not even comparable. Danny White led his squad to 3 consecutive NFC Championship games in an era in which QB's were getting killed. Insert Tony Oh No! in that era and Lawrence Taylor snaps doughboy like a twig.

Yep, that was the play after Drew was caught from behind. Drew easily had 15 yards and possibly even have scored.

SK probably wasn't even born yet to remember Danny White.

Is this a serious question?

 

[Diehardblues]

It was and Troy was also a rookie, i'm not sure Tony would have taken as big a beating as Troy did with that team only because he was just so damn slippery in the pocket but there is no way he would have done any better with that team than Troy did. That was the worst team in Cowboys history

Of course Troy had better teams like all of the greater QB’s in Cowboy history.

This is a different era. None of the champions this era matchup with those eras teams.

We have seen greater QB’s than Romo lead their lesser teams deeper in the playoffs . Brady led a 31st ranked defense to one Super Bowl loss. Brees took 12th ranked defense. One of Peyton’s was middle of the road.

Romo wasn’t great enough in the limited opportunities he had which IMO was only 2007 and 2014 with a good enough team to lead us to at least a championship game.

I would have liked to see Romo get a few more opportunities with the team we had in 2014 or even 2016. It looked like in 2014 we were going to be more serious contenders .

But that’s life in the NFL and why you must make the most of those opportunities. You just never know if you’ll get another shot.

Saying something stupid over and over again doesn’t make it smart. “Leading a team to a championship” is not a real thing. Why don’t you try coming up with some actual real data? You can start with White’s horrible playoff performances that the team advanced in spite of and the gigantic amount of interceptions he tossed in his career.

Even in 2016? You truly believe broken up Romo would have survived a big hit or two anytime throughout 2016? The same broken up Romo who could no longer scramble, run his Houdini scrambling acts in the backfield or take a solid hit anymore?

 

[Diehardblues]

Yep, that was the play after Drew was caught from behind. Drew easily had 15 yards and possibly even have scored.

That was our best team with Danny. The strike shortened 82 season the Skins dominated us in Championship game. And in 80 Eagles dominated us.

We don’t know. He looked sharp in his return in Philly. If he’s knocked out then we still had Dak.

It didn’t have to be an All or nothing decision. Put him in in one of those final games and see if he can take a hit.

If he’s knocked out then it’s over. No arguments.

You can start with Romo's lack of play off performances, because not very many exist.

 

[Super_Kazuya]

You can start with Romo's lack of play off performances, because not very many exist.

You can start by explaining why White’s career playoff rating is ten points lower than his career regular season rating, which flies in the face of your idiotic claim that he “led” them to the championship games.
Ooh, let’s see what made up stat you come back with next? Danny “won” more playoff games in games played at night?
