How to turn Dak Prescott into Russell Wilson

[Super_Kazuya]

Romo had good seasons with teams not much better than the Browns. Maybe the Browns would have been better with Romo.

Took the words out of my mouth. Didn't they transform into the Browns last year in games Tony didn't play? 1-11 would make even a Browns fan wince.

What shoot out with Green Bay?

1996 NFC Championship game 38 to 27.

Russell Wilson won a Super bowl. I'd rather that.

He wasn't even the mvp of that Superbowl. Get out of here

 

[CanadianCowboysFan]

Wait, so you recognize the fundamental unfairness of attributing the loss on one player imagining a hypothetical of "if Romo did that..." But then you turn around and utilize the same rational for blaming Wilson. Rock solid logic.

fair is fair, until the NFL media and other fans stop crapping on Romo for it, I will crap on all other QBs when it happens to them

 

[CanadianCowboysFan]

No, you don't audible out of a play your coach gave you on the final play of the game. Besides, who made him out to be a god?

All I've read here is that he's a very good quarterback, and he is.

it wasn't the final play of the game

Wilson only had a 123 QB rating in that game. You right, he definately could have done better.

Good for him. Wasn't enough to make him MVP.

True Troy did not have the weight of the team on his shoulders he had a very good defense and the NFL leading rusher. One big difference is When Dallas would get into a shoot out as they did with GB Troy would bring his A game and could pass with the best of them out there.

Oh, you mean like when Wilson threw 5 TDs in 39-30 win over the Steelers last year?

Wilson often when put into a situation where Seattle has had to pass a lot does not fair that well.

Yeah, I can see how with 483 pass attempts, 4,000+ yards and 34 TDs, (to just 8 INTs) that Seattle isn't asking him to pass alot.

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

It is not unfair to pin that loss on Wilson. Romo took all the blame of the loss to Seattle in the playoffs even though it was not due to a bonehead decision or the fact remaining that Dallas' defense had at best a 50-50 shot of stopping Seattle when they got the ball back.

Again, you've acknowledged how wrongly public sentiment unfairly treats Romo and then turn around and utilize that same bunk rationale to perpetuate that slanted perspective, lol.

Bravo.

No I mean his 483 is 17th in the NFL he is not being asked to throw it over 600 times in the year. Seattle does not lean on him, I will say they did more so last season but then the end results were fewer wins and poor play in post season. In Minn they dodged a bullet off a shot missed FG that would have given the Vikes the win and the following week of course bumped out of the playoffs.

I'm not saying Wilson is a bad QB he is not leaned on as many top QB are.

 

[Clove]

his defence did, when they relied on him the next year, he threw an INT at the goal line

You'd rather turn him into a quarterback who's never even been to an NFC Conference Championship game? Gotcha

Wilson had stop rated defense

Nah. Wilson thrives winning by himself just like our Tony does.

 

[Sportsbabe]

Lol Wilson threw for 34 tds and only 8 interceptions last season. That had nothing to to do with either Lynch or his defense, how much more of a real qb does he have to be?

Having the ball.

First, the notion of "the more Russell passed, the less they won" is completely bunk.

He threw for 34 TDs (just 8 INTs), passed at a 68% clip, and had a 110 QB rating. He wasn't the problem. All being 17th in the league in pass attempts means is the Hawks have a balanced attack.

What you're not addressing is the abnormal struggles Seattle's defense was abnormally vulnerable during the early part of the season.

Bravo.

A QB is responsible for making good decisions on the field. Job #1 and Wilson blew it and should be held accountable. Tell me again how bobling a snap is remotely the same. Then tell me how taking a trip to Mexico on your days off is remotely the same. Romo has been blasted for crazy stuff and yet Wilson gets off scott free for one of the worst decisions a QB has made in Super Bowl history.

Legitimate criticism versus illegitimate criticism - do you understand the difference?

Oh, okay, so this is really just about some fandetta to somehow right the wrongs and even the ledger in your universe.

Gotcha.

Gotcha.

well that statement explains everything I need to know about you - "even the ledger in my universe" really..........

Wilson deserves a ton of criticism for that bad pass. I don't know who could argue with that.

On the other hand, he has been in the playoffs all 4 years of career, has a SB ring, has been to multiple Superbowls, and with that critics won't focus too much on any one particular failure.

That's how it goes in terms of perception of NFL QBs. Get that ring and a lot of wrongs are forgotten.

That wasn't a bad pass. It was a horrible play call.

On the pie chart of blame. The lion's share goes to Carroll for making the call, then Butler for simply making an outstanding play in reading the slant and jumping the route, and the smallest portion to Wilson, who delivered an on target throw.
