Most fans here are stat hounds. Romo’s numbers are one of the things they loved about him. Dak’s TD pass totals and passing yards aren’t thrilling the masses here. His dink and dunk style just isn’t exciting anyone. They want him to be Romo the gunslinger. We need a speed threat at WR. Someone with good hands who can run routes. We have to add some explosiveness to the passing game and we need a receiver who brings that to the table. We’re just too slow at receiver. Witten still moves the chains but can’t run. We need to add some speed to the offense.
Romo’s stats never really over impressed me except his 4th qtr comebacks.
What impressed me was how he propped up a poor overall team most years. He elevated those around him. That’s what good players do. He really only had two teams(2007&2014) that had a realistic opportunity to go deeper. He needed more chances and consistently better teams.
Fantasy Football has overly influenced stat hounds. Throwing over 4,000 yards is not what it meant 20-30 years ago. It’s the norm.
Much like passing percentage when most of your passes are 5 or 6 yards. I’m hopeful we’ll find our winning ways with Dak again and he can further develop and we’ll be smart enough to move on if he doesn’t .
