Offensive Line giving me Romo years vibes

[Blitzen]

I understand the offensive line has many new pieces, and it takes time to gel and become a cohesive force. I think too many here forget just how poor the offensive lines were in several of the Romo years. Lots of free rushers, and extreme chaos in the backfield frequently throughout each game.

This line is reminding me of those seasons. Romo was dynamic at evading those rushers to the point that Jerry was quoted that Romo did not really need much of an offensive line. Until he got hurt repeatedly and the team decided to build a better line of scrimmage. That culminated in 2014 with the drafting of Zack Martin and one of the best seasons in the past 28. That line was the motor for success during the Dak years, and is basically needing a full rebuild. Who knows what will happen with these new lineman, and if they will measure up? I think the front office was hoping that Dak could keep the show going like Romo and win half the games despite the lack of a functional offensive line.

Romo, for all his hero ball antics, was great at avoiding the rush. Had that 6th sense in the late and early 2000's/2010s.

Dak can't move like that in the pocket.

He also had the innate ability to turn it over in crunch time and was a walking crystal chandelier.

In addition to a bad OL coach and a scheme.

Romo was one of the most clutch QBs ever in the 4th quarter. Go look at his comeback stats and what his numbers were in the 4th Quarter.

don't bother; haters never admit anything other than their agenda
Dak is a very good QB but will never be elite and never really take us anywhere just like Romo
great guys in a lot of ways and really are willing to put their bodies on the line but in the end will always come up short
Just like about 99% of all QBs as regards results; at least we do not have a POS like Watson

Dak is worse than Romo was in regard to the innate ability to turn it over in crunch time.

Hero ball antics sort of covered your first part. Dude had to push it instead of living for another play. Worked out some times, had some dumb INTs on other plays.

Romo also had to deal with two lousy HCs for most of his career; and also all too often no D
That epic game against the Broncos showed it all; he played incredibly but because he knew the D was not going to do anything he pushed it too far and threw that pick
and everyone blamed him for losing rather than a D that could not even force one punt

That line was the motor for success during the Dak years,

So what you are saying is...

While the NFC was weak Dallas could not take advantage

Finishing 12-5 Dallas could not take advantage

While Dallas had a good OLINE, Dak and skill positions on offense could not take advantage.

Now we need a rebuild.

By the time Jerry built the last OLINE around Romo he was done.

I'm smelling a repeat performance from Jerry

Romos line aged over night against the Minnesota Vikings. They were never the same.

This line actually has young talent. Tyler, Beebe, and Guyton are all super talented. We have some promising youth with lesser draft stock as well. Whether Steele can be returned to form is debatable now.

All said I think this is A LOT more about coaching, blocking, and running scheme than it is talent.

These coaches proved they couldn't generate a run game last year and yet here we are with an expected result.

Don’t need to. He did zilch in the playoffs. Which is the only stat that matters.

Myths.

He was the best playoff QB in 2014.

Was it Romos fault Patrick Crayton can't catch a perfectly placed ball twice? Was it Romos fault Demarco Murray fumbled a sure TD away? It's a team game.

What is he very good at?

One play doesn’t make a career. He did nothing when it’s all said and done.

False narrative my mouth breathing analysts and media heads. He was actually the top 1 or 2 4th quarter and OT quarterback during his playing years. Hardly anyone did it better then he did in crunch time.

But go ahead and believe espn highlight videos and people looking for click bait. Pople just remember the turnovers trying to play hero ball bailing out trash defenses his entire career bar a year
