How many super-bowls does Tony Romo win with the 2016-2024 Cowboys?

Or they use different measures. The date at the bottom is 2021. It's not a significant amount of difference. It's only been two seasons since an update.

You can pick choose your stats. I mean Dak "beat" Romo's total TDs per season by 1 TD for a total of 37 TD. But he had two extra games (one more in the season and one more because Romo was injured in one of them when he had 36 TDs in a season), and Dak threw 4 or 5 TDs against a second team Philly in the last game of the season with nothing to play for just to break the record.

Or Romo has more 4000 yard passing seasons.

Or Romo has the highest QB rating in the 4th quarter of any QB who ever played the game.
These Dak vs Romo arguments could go on forever. The bottom line is the results with both have been very similar. Neither could overcome the teams deficiencies. It all fell on them in the playoffs and it’s led to failure.

Zero.

I liked Romo a lot but like Dak he was a good, not great QB. And like they were back in Romo’s day, this front office has never understood that unless your QB is Brady or Mahomes or maybe Burrow, all other QBs need either a great D or a great running game…maybe both to contend for a SB.

Neither Romo nor Dak is capable of strapping an offense or team for that matter on their backs and just carrying it to multiple playoff wins. With the right supporting cast, yes. But this FO during the cap era has never, ever been capable of putting a championship roster together around a good QB.

Besides, even the greats like Mahomes need some support. There is zero chance Mahomes wins the SB last year without that great chiefs defense. In 2020, Brady doesn’t win that SB withoutTampa’s D. Brady threw 3 picks that year in the NFC championship game but the Bucs D bailed him out. And those two are all time greats showing even they needed some help.
That is not true. Romo VERY often strapped the team on his back. He did it against Denver/Manning. A heroic effort... with what weapons? ...that Dak would NEVER be able to and HASN'T.

Maybe it didn't carry them to "multiple playoff wins". But fumbles and short on the goal line crap can RUIN a team vieing for playoff wins.

Just saying neither romo or dak can win playoff games is VERY lazy take. Tony never gifted the other team 14 free easy points in the 1st half. 13-7 at halftime is a LOT different than 27-7. Often when people claim Romo "choked" it was because of him we were almost that close at the end....when he had to continuously go back out there. The odds turn eventually.

Name me a playoff game ruined by Tony. Maybe there is, maybe there isn't. But let's set this record straight. If he "ruined it" let's dive deeper and see how. We know Dak ruined the GB game...27-7? Or 13-7?

And yes...the defense played like crap...no run game...just to preface all the other problems first.

What "results" are you talking about? Wins and losses? Or QB performances and stats? Even GASP!...the "eye test". dunt dunt DUN.

As I was schooled on earlier today...butterfly effect. 14 free easy point versus fumbles by other players?

I get it ...some people don;t care about details. They want it easy. It's okay.

That would put Tony Romo retiring at 44. How many superbowls does he win in that eight year span?

We had some really good teams in those eight years but our bus driver of a qb hasn’t capitalized!!
Probably three at least

What weapons? Witten? Dez?

And it's interesting. You took one game and made a generalization for an entire career.

But you don't KNOW for a fact Romo and zeke wouldn't have, but I do appreciate your solid line in the sand.

Romo was WAY more of a passing threat than Dak ever been. Zeke was better than Murray in some ways maybe too subtle to say for sure...I've been told that's a lie....but okay. We all have our aspinions.
Very true that Romo was way more of a passing threat than Dak was, and probably ever will be.

Romo was mobile, but not as a running threat. His mobility was more along the line of pocket awareness and escapability. I was at Texas Stadium and witnessed him turn a snap over his head and a 30 yard loss into a 10 yard gain and a 1st down.

But Dak was and still is a bigger pure running threat than Romo ever was. That adds an element that mitigates some of Romo’s edge in passing.

Zeke was better than Murray. He was considered a generational talent, the equivalent of a 5 tool baseball player. But I’m not sure the delta between 2014 Murray and 2016 Zeke is that great.

Interesting note on Murray vs. Zeke (who was a world class sprinter IIRC). Murray had 91 yard rush from scrimmage, Zeke’s longest was ~60 yards. He did have that ~90 yard screen pass against the Steelers in 2016.

0.
Jerry Dumbo GM Jones is still the owner, GM, and Defacto HC that gave his All rookie, Pro Bowl QB on a rookie contract the following:

Defense was gutted 2016-2020 including bad defensive drafts and defensive coaches, defense today still cannot stop the run, played without a no.1 WR, no.1 TE, played without a no.1 RB in most of 2017 andn 2018, played without a no.1 RB all of 2023, and his All Pro C was gone after the 2019.

Nobody but Roger Staubach pulled off a Super Bowl appearance with a rebuilding team in 1975. But, Staubach had Tex, Gil, Landry, and defense.

Witten and dez were weapons for romo. Are you saying they werent for dak?
i didnt make a generalization from one game....you did. I never said the one game defines daks career.

Daks playoff record and his personal stats define itself....i dont need to.

You said he strapped the team on his back. With what weapons.

I gave you names of the weapons.

On older Witten and a broken Dez were wet weapons for Dak.

You did make a generalization. Strapping the team on his ba k....heroic effort...BLAH blah blah.

So was the game against Seattle last year not heroic? Or was it all the other offensive players that won the game.....

Just saying

BTW how does Romo playoff record defend him? I do t get it

None, he always choked just like Sack Prescott. Problem here is Jerry, he would have done something stupid to ruin it.

The only difference is Romo looked good while losing and never had that deer in the headlights look. The results were the same though.

he did nothing with Witten and Dez. so now lamb and cooper!? just wow. he had the #1 seed one year and choked it away.
Choked! You talking about the Giants game where Crayton dropped a sure go ahead TD. Or the GB game where the Dez non catch was really a catch. Romo competed on the big stage. Dak is trash in the playoffs. Dallas would be better off bringing in another teams backup QB to play once Dallas makes the playoffs.

Romo haters.
I try not to use that word. But romo provided this team with many opportunities...and to just blanket him with the term choker...there is no other explanation.
