Aikman was a product of the team around him. Dak could've won with that team

It seemed like only yesterday......This sounds like once teams got a hold of analytics Dak was exposed.
Buccaneers must’ve not got the copy of those analytics….neither did Philly lol.This sounds like once teams got a hold of analytics Dak was exposed.
Romo was plenty good enough. The team and coaches let him down.He didn’t. In order for the Cowboys to win a ring with Romo he was going to have to play at an All Pro level that he wasn’t capable of doing in the playoffs….
He never performed at a high level….he would’ve needed a stacked team around him….Romo was plenty good enough. The team and coaches let him down.
Yep….romo tooAikman was a product of the team around him. Dak could've won with that team
The difference was that no one doubted that with that team Aikman could get it done with his arm. Dak has proven that when it’s crunch time he can’t.Aikman was a product of the team around him. Dak could've won with that team
You have it all backwards, which most fans do.He never performed at a high level….he would’ve needed a stacked team around him….
Most of Romos years he had to deal with horrible offensive lines and up and down defensive play. Does anyone doubt that Romo would have gotten more out of last years squad?You have it all backwards, which most fans do.
The team and coaching around romo was not good enough. Therefore it was impossible for him to play at a pro bowl level throughout the playoffs.
Dalton LOLNow many of Dak’s fanboys were telling us that Dak was on pace to shatter world-records for QBs in 2020 if he didn’t get injured, meaning over 6000 yards. As us Dak-haters were stating the “7 TOs in 4 and a half games” QB was just filling up the stat box in blow-out losses as teams were just managing the time. Even in the Atlanta game, the bone-headed Falcons who the very next week blew a 20 pT IN THE FOURTH QURTER lead to back-up Nick Foles, all they had to do was sit on the kicked ball and it was an easy win.
Now to point out, these were “6000 yards passing in a season” Dak when down by at least 8 points in the 4th quarter, meaning they needed to push the ball downfield:
24/60 60%
219 yards
5.5 YPA
1 TD
1 INT
43 yards was his longest pass, meaning he chucked one up, accounting for 20% of his total passing yards
Only 2 passes for over +20 yards
2 sacks on 40 attempts, meaning he was getting more than enough time to throw the ball
72.8 QBR
Now as a point of reference, with Andy Dalton in a much more chaotic situation, including the fact they had
26/40 65%
215 yards
5.4 YPA
1 TD
1 INT
38 yards longest pass
1 pass of +20 yards
5 SACKS meaning working under way more pressure, as Zach Martin was shelved the season and the Cowboys had a massively fluctuating OL starting line-up from when Dak started from training camp until he was injured
76.6 QBR
These numbers are taken from Football Database.
So in one situation you have a paper Tiger against soft zones, amassing useless stats while getting blown out, only to go into a complete shell of dink and dunk passing, when the pressure rises, and you hit another guy trying to win games with no starting OL and coming in to play after getting completely destroyed by a cheat hit that gave him a massive concussion, yet none of the Dak homies on the team came to do anything about it. Dalton got sacked 5 times while throwing the ball out quickly, showing the pressure he was working with.
Even Dallas News had an article on it that you can Google titled:
The fastest release in the East: Andy Dalton has been forced to make quick decisions behind Cowboys shaky offensive line
Only Ben Roethlisberger, Ryan Fitzpatrick and Tom Brady have had an average time to throw quicker than Dalton since week 11.
It seemed like only yesterday......
When Dak had that abysmal game against Denver he said "I hope all teams play us like that".
He's played his worst football since.
he has gone 15-9 since....yeah, pretty bad.It seemed like only yesterday......

The quarterback wasn’t good enough either….Eli never had a great coach or team..and did it twice.You have it all backwards, which most fans do.

Again you have it backwards. The giants did it. Wasnt just eliThe quarterback wasn’t good enough either….Eli never had a great coach or team..and did it twice.
So did the Cowboy's Defense in both SF losses.Again you have it backwards. The giants did it. Wasnt just eli
