Prescott vs. Romo Playoffs

[TheMarathonContinues]

Whoa for a sec.

Quarterbacks and wide receivers establish their timing during practice. Timing requires quarterbacks and wide receivers to go full speed. On every snap. The repetition is essential for it to be replicated during live games.

Crayton could have still bobbled and dropped the pass if he had tried to catch it. That did not happen. What happened was Crayton slowed his route. Slowing his route disrupted the timing between him and Romo.

Of course it was an overthrow for that reason. My question is why does Crayton gets dismissed from the consequences of his miscue yet Romo is thus accountable for "not throwing" to another receiver?

The quarterback did his job. The receiver did not. Why is the receiver left off the hook after not doing his job?

Crayton isn't off the hook he let up yeah I'm just not agreeing with the narrative that oh Romo's team didn't show up for him. Romo took part in that too. Romo also took 2 terrible sacks in that 4th quarter. Crayton had his share of blame in it but I'm not going to agree with the narrative that oh Crayton cost us the game. Nope.

Mind-boggling that anyone calls that an overthrow. In fact, nobody does. Not even the announcers once they watched the replay.
That was a perfect throw for the win. Crayton got lazy and slowed his route before realizing the ball was coming his way.
And, of course, he also had the massive, back-breaking drop earlier as well. That one had wide open pasture....oh well.
Lots of mistakes that game
We came up short

It wasn't a lazy route he just stopped running it. Like I said, game on the line I'm throwing it to a hobbled TO over Crayton. I'm going to my playmakers. I'm not losing at the hands of these Noah brown and Patrick Crayton types. But then again....there's David Tyree.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

Both.
Dallas chocked too, btw

Let's agree to disagree on this one and move on.

There's no agree to disagree. I agree. My whole point was that Dallas sucked that day. People have tired to convince me that oh it was Crayton's fault we lost and that it was the dominant Giants defense. I've been the one saying the Giants D may have played well later on in the playoffs but all of our mistakes were self inflicted. They choked away. tHat's always been the narrative. I'm not going to blame just Crayton for that.

You can have 1 of the greatest quarterbacks to ever play the game and not win a Super Bowl if you don't have a great team behind them, or at least a team that catches fire in the playoffs and wins a Super Bowl. It really isn't the quarterback. Sure they help, but bad quarterbacks can win a Super Bowl with a good team. Nobody is ever going to say Nick Foles, or Trent Dilfer was the caliber quarterback that Dan Marino was but, the latter 2 have Super Bowls and Dan Marino does not. Romo, and Prescott are certainly quarterbacks that can win a Super Bowl. I'd say both could win a Super Bowl with a team good not great. I don't say that about Troy Aikman. I think Troy was very limited, but with a great team around him excelled as a piece. I think if you put Romo, and Prescott on those teams they would have won super Bowls as well.

Troy was the first pick of the 1989 NFL draft and he expected to win a Super Bowl; due to his draft position.

And during the biggest game of his career; the 1992 SB; he delivered a MVP performance.

How is he limited compared to the un-drafted Romo and fourth round pick Prescott?



I would say Romo was limited mentally due to not elevating his game in big game situations. I.e., choking.

The same can be said for Dak unless he wins in the playoffs.

How can you assume Romo and Dak who have not won a divisional playoff game would have elevated their games in the championship games and Super Bowls instead of caving to the pressure?

Well. Crayton is part of the team. Crayton's miscue was one of a number of reasons behind the team losing that game. Some of Romo's teammates, especially the defense, contributed to the loss also with their miscues.

Romo can take the heat. I am certain he would be the first to admit he keeps hearing it to this day. It is a shame that the truth, backed by multiple rationally explained observations, for Dallas' loss contributed to players, in addition to Romo's mistakes, is automatically defined and summarily rejected as simply a "narrative."

I'm out. Go Cowboys.

Troy was a statue. He needed a great team around him. Prescott and Romo could move.

 

[CordovaRaider]

Romo wins this game today (as does Roger, Danny, and Troy)...

 

[cowboyfan4life2]

Romo was much better than dak

I need a drink

At UCLA and early on his career he could scramble. He became a statue as he got older.

Romo never got to the NFC championship

 

[tm1119]

How few brain cells do you have to have to be discussing Dak vs Romo right now?

 

[Blue&Silver]

He was never that mobile. I watched him get beat senseless before we had the line to keep defenders off him. They put Walsh in because he had some mobility.

 

[aikemirv]

Well hopefully we can finally end this notion that Dak is somehow better than Romo.

He is just bad/sucks most of the time with good play here and there

 

[John813]

Both came up short in the playoffs. Same type of QB. Regular season stat champs

I'm blaming this game on Dak. Everything went right and he was trash

 

[Redline360]

Romo would cream his pants if he had a defense and offense talent like this

 

[Sully]

Dak has tied Romo's playoff wins in half the number of years. Romo never advanced beyond the division around. If Dak can get one more playoff win and advance to the NFC championship game, the Prescott-Romo debate can be put to bed forever.

Well--- Dak was horrible. He gave the Niners 6 pts and could have been more b/c in the last drive SF dropped a pick 6
Drought continues

 

[WillieBeamen]

ROMO NEVER LOST A PLAYOFF GAME WITH HIS DEFENSE ONLY GIVING UP 19 POINTS

 

[Grenic]

Dak is just awful
