Why should there not be a competition for the starting QB job right now??
If Tony fell in the shower, and hurt his throwing arm, and couldnt play for 10 weeks, how many
would be ok with Dak starting?
How many would say no sit dak let him learn, and bring in a vet??

I think Dak is winning the QB competition right now, but it seems even if he does many fans
would still want Tony to start.

Lets look at both.
Dak:
158.3 passer rating Miami game
Is young , and healthy, and I think bigger than tony ??
Much more mobile, and great at running with the ball, he gets loose, he can run 60
yards for a td, and tony could not do that in 2006.
Has good arm, can make all the throws, and has been very accurate.
Has only been sacked once, I think ?
Is reading the field good, and finding receivers open, always looking down field.
Lacks experience and playing time in NFL. Never been in a playoff game.
_________
Tony
107.5 passer rating Miami game
Is old, has bad back, cant run, and not sure if he can still do his spin move, didnt seem
to use that last year.
Has more experience, but that hasnt got him past the div round in his whole career.
Can make all the throws also, but hasnt been as good as Dak has been.
Knows the Dallas offense better than anyone, or should, and has seen many defenses.
Is a legend , and probably best known QB in the world.
Has not had much success in playoffs.
________
Tony will have to rely on his passing, and the running backs, and his limited scrambling ability,
and his experience.
Dak can not only scramble and move in pocket quicker than tony, but can take off and run,
like the 25 yard td run in Miami game.
That is the main thing that to me makes Dak the better QB, and not just Tony, but better than any other
QB in the league, even R. Wilson.
That is a huge advantage, to be able to run like that. Kapernick could do it, but maybe not as good, and he lacked other quality's that Dak has.
________
So if it were me I would go with Dak as starter and have Romo back him up, and see how it goes.
And Preseason isnt over yet, so the competition is still ongoing, So I might change my mind.

I am not a Romo hater, and if Dak did get the starting job I would feel bad for Romo, but hey
he has 100 mil so wont feel too bad for him!
And we would have the best bkup QB in the NFL !

But really if Dak looks as good in Seattle game, it is crazy not to make him the starter.
Best player up, the one that gives you best chance to win, and if it doesnt work out,
Romo is on the sidelines healthy and ready to play!
Or you can play the old vet who is a legend, and hero , and a great guy.
And dont get me wrong, Tony is still a good qb, one of the best, I just think Dak is on another level
and is young and can run, which again is a huge weapon tony has never really had, and most QB's
cant run very good.
____
I also think many players, are thinking Dak should start too. They seem to play better for him
than Romo.

Dak could very well be the best QB in the NFL, and people are saying he needs to sit few years and learn?
And I admit, he could be just incredibly lucky, and a fluke and these 2 pre season games are meaningless.
But I dont think so, and we will see what happens in next 2 games and go from there.

Also I dont think Jerry or JG have the kahunas to start Dak over Romo, no matter how good Dak looks.
And it would be hard to do, I would do it, but I would not like doing it.
But if you want to win play your best players.

Ok, I am done now Tell me how dumb I am !

You kidding me other than Witten no one on this team is more deserving of having a chance at the title than Romo. He is the starter until he retires.

He's not starting unless Romo goes down or he retires. I love Dak and I really hope he's the QB of the future but man, he's a rookie. He will get his shot soon enough. Don't rush it. Romo isn't going to lose his starting job just yet.

Man I thought I was bad. Love me some Dak and think the world of his future but COME ON MAN. Romo is a legend. Time tested, hes carried this franchise on his shoulder for years. 2 preseason games doesnt entitle Dak anywhere near Romo. He needs to keep working hard and we can have this talk next year....maybe.

Worst new thread of the year. The profanity filters won't let me accurately express to you how dumb I think the op was. I'm seriously considering putting you on ignore simply because, based on that post, I think reading anything further from you would be a waste of time.

I have been on this site for over 5 years and have never posted nor replied to any threads. But this is troubling, I really feel for this poster. No matter what we reply to him he's going to think we're the ones on our rocker and that he's the one making sense. I swear we have the worst fanbase in the world-the most single celled. You clearly don't understand how the game of football works and I'm the biggest moron in the world for even discussing this with you. I may cut my eyes out and smash them with a hammer I'm so angry at you and mods please do not let this gentleman post anymore regardless of opinion. Im begging you guys pls at least give him a warning- this isnt fair, I work too hard...

Or better yet, this was worth the laugh with all the gifs, maybe only let him post.

& lol that Tony Romo is a legend and most known qb in the world- and i love the hell out of romo but come on bro, lay off that shard- its bad for you to stay up 7 nights in a row.

Two preseason games.

Two.

Two practice games.

Two.

And now we should consider replacing Romo immediately? I honestly thought comparing this defense to the 90s defenses was an all time low around here.

Boy, was I way wrong on that! LOL.

Dak will get his chance Dandy Don soon enough.

Dak looks fantastic, but Romo hasn't done anything to not be the starter. If he comes out and can't move the ball, throws picks and has lost it when can reevaluate later.

I do get your point that he is exciting and I want to see a whole lot more. But Romo isn't Bledsoe.
