And right before he threw that pick I said an interception is coming and a few minutes later it happened. I just knew it. He never won a shootout with a real great QB. Never won that Many real big games either. That's his legacy. I think overall he's a better QB than Dak but the guy just couldn't do it.

We probably could have won a SB with Romo but he was never given much of an OL until 2014 and by then he was starting to be injury prone.
The other problem with Romo was he played like he thought he was Brett Favre. Romo was really good. But he seemed to feel like everything was on his shoulders, and he wasn’t good enough to carry a team by himself. Had he had a good enough team around him, and if he had not tried to play “hero ball”, maybe he could have won more playoff games.
Dak has a better team around him. If Dak also avoids trying to be the hero and the overall team plays at their best, we have a shot to win some playoff games (plural) this Jan. I wish Cowboys fans realized, you don’t have to have a great QB to win the SB, You have to have a good one, and with an overall good team that plays at its best, you can win some playoff games.

Just a stupid post to do get clicks which you did, but let me educate you on a few things so the thread won't be a total waste of energy.
Flashes of talent? Really?
Almost 35,000 yards and 250 TD's?
Romo holds virtually every passing record in team history.
Still holds the 11th all-time passer rating in NFL history.
Should've been the MVP in 2016 with numbers that any other QB won with.
Then there's this...
At the time he retired he had the highest 4th quarter QB rating in the NFL and the most comebacks.
As for the INT narrative...
He has a better INT percentage than Aikman, Staubach, Elway, Warner and Marino to name a few HOFers.
He was saddled with terrible offensive lines early and bad defenses late in his career and played an almost flawless Divisional playoff game and had it stolen by what now would be ruled a catch.

Please stop. Early in his career, he was wild but late in his career he was as efficient as anybody in the league.
If Eli and Rypien and Flacco could do it to name a few he could. All three of those guys were carried by generational defenses. He never had that luxury along with being saddle with a mediocre coach and a dysfunctional front office.
He led the league in 4th quarter QB rating and comebacks when he retired.
He had the numbers to be the 2016 MVP and played a flawless Divisional game against Rodgers that was stolen.

Lol - so if picks are your criteria how come he has a better INT percentage than Aikman, Staubach, Elway, Marino and Warner? It's a false narrative because he was on national television every week so everything was magnified.
How many picks of Matt Ryan did you see?
The good news is now you are better informed than you were before the post.

And I'll have to keep educating the board including you so here ya go...
Romo has a better career INT percentage than Aikman, Staubach, Marino, Elway and Warner to name a few. He never threw "all those picks" he threw picks on national television every week which is how the narrative was formed which you bought hook line and sinker.
But now you know.

Wait, I was gonna reply but you already got crushed with Eli playing on two of the greatest defensive playoff teams ever.
I won't pile on. It's the holidays.

Again, I'm here to help. Eli won two SB's with two of the most historic defensive playoff runs ever and that is...
EXACTLY RIGHT.

Big Tony fan, but this, and all similar comments, are mere speculation.

Yeah Romo might have whatever stat fits your agenda but let’s stop right there with the comparisons.
all I’m talking about is Romos early career choke jobs and potential disaster scenarios. 2007 amazing team, he ends it with a pick.. fast forward 44-6 game against the Eagles, absolutely embarrassing game… boom follow that up with the Vikings meltdown in the playoffs.
Dak doesn’t have that level of choke… he hasn’t had a single game like Buffalo 4 picks in a half with multiple pick 6s..granted Daks ceiling isn’t as high, neither is his low.

Oh. So Dak isn’t really throwing picks he’s just on TV every week so it’s magnified. Ok thanks for informing me for a minute I was lost.

There was nothing historic about those defenses in the regular season. But sure make them out to be the 85 Bears.

For a second, I thought you were saying he had twice the talent around him.

Romo performed in big games but just made mistakes. Dak is worse because he doesn't perform very well and than lacks confidence and becomes scared to pull the trigger and throw into tighter windows so you get more 3 and outs. But the biggest difference is Romo was more talented and accepted responsibility and Dak blows that idea off and never says HE. Always says WE.

He had to keep taking chances because his so called defense was unable to force ONE SINGLE PUNT
You keep taking chances sooner or later you will throw snake eyes
The Romo haters never quit; just like the Dak fanboys.
The sad fact is that there is every chance Dak will have to leave the Boys to get a ring; if he stays with the clown show running things he will never get a ring just like Romo

You have to admit. That was one of those wins that left you feeling sick to your stomach like they lost.

Think about what a Mahomes, Allen or Burrow would be able to accomplish with this team.

When Dak started his rookie year, not a single one of us would've expected him to develop into Romo. More like a Trent Dilfer type.
Now that he's basically the same player as Romo--and he is, it's a great comparison--it's a problem?! We're lucky to have two QBs, back to back, with that kind of production.
