I did not say that Dak was terrible, I was replying to another thread that said that more than half of the fan base thought that Romo was terrible. Although, I did elude to the fact that Romo was the better option once he was healthy. Romo had one year with a balanced offense and Demarco Murray ran for 1800+ yards(although he had a critical fumble against Green Bay that was the turning point of that game in the playoffs, and probably led to his release in the offseason.) They started out the next year 2-0 before the injury problems started for Romo. Last year, Tony should have taken over as soon as he was healthy. Dak did a great job while he was gone, but lackluster efforts later in the season should have told the coaching staff that Tony was the one to be playing approaching the playoffs. Opposing defenses get film on a guy and make necessary adjustments. If you force Dak to stay in the pocket, it is very difficult for him to beat you because he does not throw a very accurate ball downfield and he makes very questionable decisions when pressured. Plus you don't have an experienced QB(making 20 million) sit on the bench when his team has home field advantage throughout the playoffs. Those opportunities don't come along very often
Sorry I wasn't aiming my post at you just fans in general that think Dak is terrible .
Normally I would agree with you and say you should put the experienced QB in for the playoffs but Tony could not be trusted to take normal NFL hits any longer . Also Tony refused to alter his game like many older QBs have had to do and just THROW THE BALL AWAY to protect himself .
The guy refused to give up on plays . Many times it made a highlight reel but in the end it ended his career .
Dak may not have as accurate a long ball as Tony but he could move the chains with his legs when necessary something Tony could never do on his best days . Dak was a threat every defense had to account for because he could pass or run for touchdowns . Nobody feared Tony running the ball in .
Where are we no oh questionable decisions ? Dak placed a high value on ball security . Tony was like the cow that gave a full bucket of milk then kicked it over . His career was marked with highlight films ending in questionable decisions . LOL
At the end of the day it came down to availability Dak had it Tony didn't . Whatever perceived advantages that were gained by Tonys experience were negated because his style of play left him unavailable
