Prescott and Romo

[Cboyfan4ever]

My gosh I forgot about those few years where he had that line.

Imagine the 40 million dollar man behind that line.

 

[Ken]

Dak has had much more talent around him.

WRONG.

Seriously? Prime TO, WITTEN, Dez, and Demarco?

You guys are really out of control with this revisionist history. Dak has had Prime Zeke for a few seasons, and prime Amari for a few seasons. Zeke was never as dominant as Demarco was in 2014.

Romo had two prime HOFs to throw to and Dak hasn't had one.

His Oline and D were not as good.

 

[Ken]

His Oline and D were not good.

Yes, Dak's has been stellar lol

Are you guys kidding me? Dak had a great line in 2016...very good line in a few others. This years line was not very good, neither was last years.

What "Great" defense has Dak had? He had a very good one this year only. Every other year was a joke.

Much better pass blocking line.Dak had plenty of time ,but couldn’t find anyone because he doesn’t see the field well and is so slow to process.That’s fact Dak lovers.

 

[BobbyFlame469]

They're both losers.

Jerry thought because they were an undrafted and 4th round pick that overachieved that he'd found the next Tom Brady.

When push comes to shove they always revert back to that undrafted and 4th round pick player.

Tom Brady is the outlier. Get a real QB in Dallas, Jerry. It's time to stop playing games with these bums.

 

[Ken]

First 6 years compared: Keep in mind, I took Romo's first 6 years he actually played, not the 2 years he got to sit and learn under Parcells...which is SUCH a huge advantage. Dak beats him in most categories, and if you factor in Dak's 25 rushing TD and 1000+ yards rushing...it is a joke. Can you imagine if Dak three the extra 22 ints that Romo threw in over 300 less attempts...this board would melt with the reactionaries. haha

But Romo is SUCH a better passer lol I think a lot of you remember Romo in his later years where he attained a level of understanding of coverages and schemes that most QB eventually get to with experience. Dak is getting there still...when he does, these stats will go into the stratoshere.

Of course you leave out Romo’s best years.Romo continued to get better, while Dak regresses.

Talk about revisionism...

TO and Dez didn't play together. Dak had Dez, too. Unfortunately he couldn't connect like Tony could and Dez was run out of town, despite being one of the most productive receivers in the game prior to Dak.

You should also compare Zeke and Demarco's careers. You're acting like Demarco was a HoFer when he had 2 solid years and fell off a cliff when he wasn't taking advantage of teams more concerned with stopping Romo.

That's 2 of the players you listed in favor of Tony having better talent, but neither one did anything when Tony was out of the picture.

Then there's the offensive line. Anyone wanting to argue that Romo had a better or comparable line throughout his career didn't watch those teams play. Most fans remember Jerry talking about Romo's ability to escape as a reason not to upgrade the line.

It seems you're looking at the end of Tony's career and acting like that type of offensive supporting cast was the norm.

Let's talk about defense-

Dak has had a top 10 defense 3 out of 6 years. Two out of six seasons they were either the best or near the top of forcing turnovers.

Romo had 1 top 10 defense between 2006 and 2014. He did see them break the top 10 in turnovers 3 times.

Again stats can be very misleading.Dak has accumulated ALOT of garbage time stats.I’ll just go by the eye test .

 

[KJJ]

The team still has the same problems they had when Romo was here. Despite all the talent the team underachieves. They’re not consistent at home. They struggle in the trenches against physical teams. The defense still has holes. When the team gets off to a good start they begin to sputter later in the season and limp into the playoffs. The coaching still isn’t good.

And this takes of this thread. Haha.

You may be simp...well...no may needed.

This is their first 6 years (8 actually for Romo).

I can't compare what hasn't happened yet for Dak.

This is not hard bud.

Would love to see what Dak would do w/ the players Romo had for his 1st 6 yrs as starter.Dak has been surrounded w/ a lot of talent since day 1.

Another one that struggles with simple statements.

I never said Dez and TO played together....????

Dak got Witten and Dez on the twilight of their careers, NOT their prime like Romo had.

I'm well aware of Demarco's and Zeke's careers...but the fact remains that Demarco had a historic rushing season (offensive player of the year!!!!) in Romo's best year. Zeke has put up better-counting numbers than Demarco but it is because he has been fed the ball too much if anything. We finally changed our offensive philosophy in 2014 to protect Romo and run the wheels off Demarco for FA.

Actually slightly shocked looking at the defensive rankings during Dak's career...they ARE much higher than probably anyone would guess. Smoke and mirrors is the best way to describe that anamoly.

You guys just never stop with the made up facts.

It is quite amazing to see. So you are saying, Dak has garbage time stats through 6 years of his career but somehow won more games and threw the ball more than Romo did in his first 6 with almost equal games played?

The education system in this country is in shambles....

 

[Tommy]

So you think Shultz/Jarwin and Cooper/Lamb/Gallup will be in the HOF like Witten and Owens, and possibly Dez? That's what I thought!!

If Witten, Owens and Dez spent their careers with Dak Prescott throwing to them then none of them would be close to HOF consideration.

Give Romo Dak’s teams thru 1st 6 yrs and see what happens.They certainly would have gone further in’16 and beyond.Dak the leader, no salesman just like Jerruh.

Ya, would love to see what Dak would do throwing to prime TO and Witten on the field together.

The closest comparable duo to those two is Kelce and Hill in KC.

….sad that we are reduced to debating the superiority of 2 quarterbacks that have 3 playoff wins in 15+ seasons……on the other hand though, I guess there’s nothing more meaningful to discuss on this site now.
