Offensive Line giving me Romo years vibes

[NumOneQB]

He was the best playoff QB in 2014.

I guess the best just never make it to the Super Bowl, or even a NFC title game. Some good standup comedy popping up in this thread, I needed the laugh after yesterday’s poop show

 

[NumOneQB]

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.

But go ahead and believe espn highlight videos and people looking for click bait

Mouth breathers keep ignoring his playoff record. Go fluff that up and live in a flat earth world.

Well yeah, a single player can never do anything on their own.

You'd have to be stupid to think otherwise.

If you had a QB that was twice as good as the best ever up to this point, they'd struggle to be .500 if the rest of the team sucked.

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

U right. Dak’s turnovers early in games that lead to early blowouts prevent a crunch time even happening

Just shows how ignorant you are on football. Why it's a team game. Many HoF quarterbacks have bad playoff records nor reached the superbowl. Couple JAG quarterbacks have won it. Brady doesn't win half his superbowls without Belichick and his elite level defenses he put together.

Why looking at face value stats is for trolls, fantasy football people, and those that get caught up in click bait journalists.

I already gave a breakdown months ago on the difference between Romo and Dak in the playoffs. Bar the similar record they are night and day difference besides a game or two such as the Vikings for Romo and Rams for Dak when they just got dominated on both sides of the ball and got embarrassed

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

What has dak done in the playoffs?

 

[65fastback2plus2]

Wait...did we just basically figure Dak's entire line of draft picks "similar" to Tony having Phil Costa hurling balls all over the place as an undrafted?

Tony would have loved Daks 2024 line.

Did you actually watch him play or are you just repeating things you heard on ESPN?

 

[WillieBeamen]

Dak cant escape 315 lb Alim Mcneil in the pocket.

Dude is a lumbering statue back there. Looks like the Cowboys version of Drew Bledsoe. Dak stans want this dude to have everything around him to be at an all-pro level before placing the blame on him

 

[WillieBeamen]

This is bad OL play. And this is also why us Romo fans say those Cowboy teams with Dak are 4-win teams. He cant make any of these plays. Not a single one

 

[Cowboysheelsreds053]

This OL like the D is plumb terrible, McNeil was beating the h—- out of Martin all day. Between the 2 DL watch the push there DL got on our OL compared to the push our DL got on there OL, there was none.

 

[kumizi]

Gives you a general idea, even if you don't like PFF.

 

[G2]

O line is hot garbage at best.

 

[stinkface]

With all the screaming about Dak sucking being the end all be all for us, the reality is if Dak is given time he can play at a high level. That said, the pure reality is we currently have at its best a mediocre Offensive Line, and I mean at its best. Certainly some of that is a coaching issue, but most of it is a lack of talent pure and simple.

Zak was great, but is no longer. Smith is the best lineman we have, but he is playing out of position. The two rookies are experiencing growing pains perhaps, or perhaps they aren't as good as we thought.

I hope I am wrong, but I expect a bad game after the bye. I mean a trouncing. San Fran will see a weak opponent with no confidence and relish the idea of destroying us in their stadium. I expect them to blitz the hell out of Dak and double cover CD and we won't have the coaching or talent to counter their gameplan.

Neither do the nutswingers

Wow you really have an anger management problem

 

[gtb1943]

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

certainly did for a certain TE named Tyree for the Giants
you have a capacity for despising a person you never met that is rather frightening

How much does Dak pay ?

 

[Cowboy_svt]

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

oline got pushed back on his foot which messed up his throw on that one, dude was money that game

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 had mostly good lines throughout his career sans 2011 and 2012 where the interior wasn't as good. Other than that he's had what 6 multi time pro bowlers? Plus other players like Marc Columbo, Doug Free, Kyle Kosiar, Ronald Leary that were all pretty good linemen. Dak has also benefitted from better olines, but I'm with you in that this year feels different.

Not sure I’ve seen a once pretty mobile QB completely lose that ability at this age. I would have to guess those leg injuries in 2020 and 2021 had a lasting effect. He’s not outrunning many DL these days. It’s odd how folks still talk about him like he’s a mobile threat.
