No matter want you want to label it....the OP diamonddelts' take is -that with a playoff win Sunday - he will rate Prescott as the better Cowboys QB ---IN HIS OPINION.
How many playoff games would we have lost with Romo at quarterback if the defense had given up just 14 points? Wins and losses are a team statistic no matter how much fans want to make it all about the quarterback.
lol.. you cant be serious....
Yes, but the logic used by the OP, Danny White is a better quarterback than either of them because he had five playoff victories. White also had 15 TDs to 16 interceptions. I know it was a different era, but that's still pretty bad.
the whole premise is crazy, Roger, Danny, Troy, Romo, Dak all played thier hearts out... Some had better teams at times than others but to me all showed they had the goods...winning or losing in the playoffs is more about the team they had generally.
Threads like these make me weekly think about shutting it down here snd going back to a fandom with less divisiveness and simplicity! Seriously I never remember in the 70s, 80s or 90s rooting against a guy or even comparing say Danny White to Staubach. All you wanted was the torch passed and wins. I really think people need to do a reset of their fandom and just decide to cheer and enjoy. I have issues with players/coaches but them taking us to a SB is never something I don’t wish for
...and if someone uses the same criteria as the OP but claims Romo was the better Cowboys quarterback, would that make them "wrong?"
Not saying White didn't contribute to the playoff failures, but that was a partly aging Cowboys team, along with Brandt & Landry missing on starting\contribruting players in those 80's drafts.
I thought some of White's teams were good enough but he wasn't quite good enough. I think Staubach would have been able to do more with those early '80s teams before we just lost too many of our good players.
It's clear you're not serious, but yes. Brady, Brees, and Manning in their prime would all eviscerate this league. The NFC in particular is in the worst state it has been in recent memory. Just look at how the Vikings were propped up by how bad the league is right now.
It's been a long time so perhaps my memory of White's play is tainted, but I feel like there were times when the team was good enough in the playoffs and White wasn't.
So 2 QB's who both won 1 ring and the GOAT who is still playing? or are you talking about Eli who actually won 2 rings?
Truth is Roger and Troy are probably better than the rest but they FOR SURE had better teams than the others...those 2 had defenses that were truly legit no matter the competition.
Good points.
I didn't get mad lol. I already know the type of poster you are lol. You consistently make statements you claim I say and then I ask you to prove I said it and you never do. All I ask is prove what you say.
Manning had one SB in the prime of his career. Brees got one in the prime of his career. Its not anymore watered down now than it was back then. You are talking like Romo played in the 90's lol. Stop it.
Nothing to do with anything. Its not like they were playing people in the league now.
