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

[PA Cowboy Fan]

Romo was an undrafted player from nowhere university. But he had arm talent Dak could only dream of.

I think Dak would be further along if he watched Romo for a season, too. I'm not a fan of this limited passing game we have here.

Must have been why he wasn't drafted.

and Dak put up the numbers what GB were world beaters when Dallas lost to them with Romo at QB? How about all the other playoff loses we had with Romo at QB? I loved having Romo and always willing to give him the chance what kills me is how some here are not willing to give that to Dak but will make every excuse in the book for Tony.

Green Bay was missing 3 starters in the secondary and two starting linebackers. All I'm saying is, that day any quarterback could have lit up the Packers' defense.

They were absolutely skulled the next week.

You've posted a couple times that he can't throw it. Specifically, he can't throw it. If you would like to change your statement then that's cool.

And the team was different from 2016 to 2017. Everyone on offense struggled. Dak included. To ignore or refuse to admit that is ignorant.

You exaggerate a lot when it comes to Prescott.

He hates Dak and is rooting for him to fail so he can tell everyone how right he was. Look how many threads he has created and how many posts that trashes Dak.

Every single quarterback in the league CAN throw a back-shoulder. Doesn't mean they do it well.

Dak CAN beat Garrett in an accuracy competition. He just rarely ever does it.

If he throws 100 back shoulders, he'll complete 20% of them. That doesn't make it a good option.

Nothing but jibberish.

Again, you said he can't make those throws. You don't even get that you don't get it.

Sean Payton was trying like crazy to get him to New Orleans because he knew.

Parcells always beats up on quarterbacks, especially young ones. He knew Romo had something.

Yeah but had to settle for Brees? lol Here we go you make excuses to fit your own agenda yet you come down hard on Dak. Dak did not bench Romo that was not his choice he went out and played and coaches made their choice and Romo made his when he choose to retire. I'm sorry I don't get it, Dak was thrown in the fire day 1 and to watch fans go after him without given the kid a legit chance is truly pathetic

I find it simply ridiculous to hope a player fails. Is this about the Romo heartache?

 

[Doomsday101]

I was ready for Romo then too. I was very encouraged by what I saw in the pre-season that year. But before then I barely knew who he was. Never cared much for Vinny. Drew was okay his first year here but by his second it was time to try the kid. lol I just think Dak has earned the chance to prove himself. Don't care what anyone says his rookie year he was very good.

I agree. Dak did not get Romo injured, Dak was thrown into the fire day 1 and while he has made mistakes he has also done a lot of good things.

Prescott was missing the NFL's best LT, RB, LB and K. Plus a shaky RT and a ghost LG.
Does he get to use the same excuse?

Must have been why he wasn't drafted.

Here's the QBs that were drafted that year:

Carson Palmer
Byron Leftwich
Kyle Boller
Rex Grossman
Dave Ragone
Chris Simms
Seneca Wallace
Brian St. Pierre
Drew Henson
Brooks Bollinger
Kliff Kingsbury
Gabran Hamden
Ken Dorsey

It's sad that you actually think you have a point.

Please, add something to this forum. We're waiting.

Yea a bunch of Scrubs other than Palmer. Just proves my point. All the great GM's of the NFL didn't think much of Romo or they would have drafted him. He wasn't ready to start.

 

[Whyjerry]

Can't be. I was told Dak was a scrub and couldn't play.

Me too. I thought Dak sucks. Wait is that not true?

I didn't blame Romo for us not being able to get beyond winning one playoff game, and if nothing changes, I won't blame Dak either. We are not a QB away from winning a super bowl. We weren't with Romo and we aren't with Dak. If we get a top 5 defense and an unstoppable running attack we could win a super bowl without Dak improving much.

Dak is totally acceptable as a starting QB, and he has some pretty glaring weaknesses in his game. If he can even get average in those areas it will make a huge difference to what we can do on offense. An average NFL QB can hit sideline throws if the defense is trying to take the middle of the field away. That's all Dak has to do for this work -- he doesn't have to be a world beating passer. He brings a lot of other things to the table. There is a lot to work with and I can see why we choose to try to get him franchise ready as a rookie.

But he is not there yet and to suggest otherwise is simply false.

I believe Garrett chose Dak because he knew it would give him more time to develop a QB and extend his coaching career. He won't get offered another head job after here.

Garrett wouldn't even let Romo compete for the starting job last camp. How stupid is that? I support Garrett somewhat, but that was unforgivable. He says he's for open competition. He's not really. He's for saving his own butt when necessary.

We're not?

Best offensive line, best running back arguable, rapidly improving defense, good special teams, and yes, a reasonable set of receivers.

Put a top 5 quarterback here, and this is absolutely a Super Bowl caliber team.

here we go, and every team Romo faced in his career were 100% healthy? I'm sorry any QB Cassell couldn't have he lost vs crappy teams, Weeden couldn't he too could not beat a cold. Fact is a Rookie helped lead this team to a 13-3 he did what he was supposed to do. I don't have anything against Romo and stood by him as critics went after him yet now some of those who defended Romo are not going after Dak? Dak had nothing to do with Romo departure the young man was sent into the games as a rookie and did his job

You have the right to believe as you choose. I also recall Jimmy Johnson on live TV say he would also stick with Dak over Romo, you say it is stupid that is fine but it was not some given not when I see an NFL coach of 2 SB winner says he would stick with Dak as well. Tony retired before the team even hit mini camps, so I don't know how it may have played out had Romo came back the next year and had Dallas released him before he retired he could have looked to play else where but given the opportunity with CBS and his health he choose what he felt was best for him

I'm one of Garrett's biggest critics but he was absolutely right. Romo could not stay healthy anymore. Sure Romo would have beat him in TC and would have been knocked out of an actual game. The guy could not stay healthy anymore. Two straight years of injuries. If it wasn't for Dak we would have had a repeat of 2015.

Dallas had league leading rusher in Murray, Dez Bryant in his prime and a good portion of the OL and did not get past conference championship.

Not until this defense is fixed. That is still to be determined.
