Prescott and Romo have provided our ownership enough to build around

[Diehardblues]

I know we’d all like to have more Elite HOF caliber QB’s. Everyone does. But in any given era there’s usually only about a handful to go around to 32 teams.

Our dysfunctional ownership has actually been very fortunate with an undrafted and 4th round pick propping up a beleaguered franchise for last 20+ years.

And it’s on our leadership which hasn’t pursued greater coaching, front offices with intention to wear all hats meddling and undermining football operations.

Most successful organizations could have delivered deeper runs in the playoffs building a more balanced team and supporting cast with these capable QB’s.

Yes , one of the Elite HOF caliber QB’s might have taken us further with teams built but when you know you don’t have a Mahomes or Brady you build your team accordingly.

Our Bozos never got it. Thinking they had an Elite QB who was enough to carry the team and its weaknesses. But these QB’s despite not being Elite would have been enough for most franchises to build more successful teams around.

I wonder if that makes them think they can get good production at any position from just around the corner. It seems to be their philosophy. I mean, they still draft players high but you have to to make people think you're trying.

I would take an great defense over an great QB.

Championships can be won with a great defense and a QB like Romo or Dak.

Big and little are too short on football knowledge to figure that out.

I disagree. They are bad luck and among the worst things to happen to Dallas besides Jerry himself. Both QBs are fool's gold. Teases. It was obvious for both after year 5 that neither one of them could get it done when the pressure gets too big.

But since both look good on paper it allowed Jerry to say "good enough" when it wasn't, and thus not put any real effort into building a winner.

There's a very good reason that the majority of SB winning QB's were high draft picks - it's because in addition to talent, they've already shown the ability to handle the big time pressure in college.

Give us examples of Romo caving under pressure. The team playing SO well...but it was Romo's fault. Show us.

A player surrounded...inherently made up of...bad luck?

Dude.

Look at Aaron Rodgers
who is still a top QB as he showed last night
not what he was in his prime still better than the vast majority of current starters



He has ONE ring. The same number as Brad Johnson and Trent Dilfer and the other 40 year old QB in that game last night Joe Flacco
He is worlds better but just one ring.

that is such garbage. Look at all the high draft pick QBs that stank it up in the pros

AND BY THE WAY WHAT ROUND WAS TOM BRADY DRAFTED IN
OR for that matter JOE MONTANA.

There is no proof that Dak or Romo could win you a SB with an elite defense.

There is proof to the opposite as both had top 5 defenses at points during their careers and yet neither could get past the divisional round.

You've got to stop thinking that both Dak and Romo have always had to go it alone. That is not the case. Both have had more opportunities than most QBs who have ever played. Results? 2-4 and 2-5 playoff records with only wild card wins.

I would like to add that having a great HC needs to be added to the equation. Most of Romo's career, he had Garrett. Need I say more.

The biggest difference in Dak and Romo teams is this:

When Romo got hurt the season really was over.

When Dak gets hurt a bum like Cooper Rush goes 9-5.

Dak and Romo both are loser QBs, but only one of them consistently has a good roster around them.

Making an NFL roster is extremely difficult and unlikely. I understand you feel Dak is a loser QB since you bloviate endlessly about it. However, I'm not sure calling people you don't even know losers and bums does any good. Take it down a notch dude.

Dak is a loser QB.

It has nothing to do with how I feel him.

It has everything to do with him having never won anything as a QB.

Dude.

Your wasting your time. This site is full of blowhards that don't know football. Both Romo and Dak would have won multipe championships with the 90s team because it was about the team being the best Team

Yes they both have had missed opportunities but it wasn't them alone it takes a joint effort to succeed and fail. I remember the botched snap but I also remember he played well enough to win.I want to say in 14 he played well enough to win as well but a murray fumble. I cant remember which game it was but I thought Rodgers completed a 3rd and 31 completion on Byron Jones. Was that with Romo as well? he had bad defense in 14 for sure

Dak also had chances in 2016 had a bad defense yes he made rookies mistakes but played well enough to win. in 18 the Rams ran all over dallas,the first san fran loss was marred with about 15 penalties on dallas. The second was the cowboys best chance but i think that went out the window with the pollard injury and of course the green bay debacle was both Dak and the defense but mostly the defense.

Its never just 1 player and anyone who says differently hasn't played football.

The key would have been going all in to build win now rosters in Dak and Romo's younger years when they were on bargain deals.

The level of play this franchise got out of these guys for their draft (or undrafted) positions is unbelievable. It just doesn't happen, and to have not done everything in the front office's power to build a winner when the opportunity presented itself is just criminal malpractice.

 

[BleedSilverandBlue]

When Dak gets hurt a bum like Cooper Rush goes 9-5.

This happened over three separate seasons in spot starts.

I get that you don't like Dak, but to pretend that Cooper Rush is his equal is just completely bizarre.

Not only quality QB’s but cheaper too. And we never took advantage of it by building around them

To pretend that these teams aren’t good enough for Dak when Cooper Rush is 9-5 with the Cowboys is what’s most bizarre.

They've just simply got to put responsibility ANYWHERE but where it belongs with Dak.

They claim Dak has always had to go it alone, but history shows the opposite - Dak has had loaded teams and couldn't do anything in the playoffs with it.

They belittle the other players, Aikman, Stuabach, Jimmy Johnson, and anybody else to shield a mid QB who has never come close to earning his stupid contract.

Yes. Both Romo and Dak are plenty good enough. Plenty of "average" Qb's have done it.

"defense wins championships"...proven over and over.

What's Jerry's problem?
