QB Debate: Tony or Dak week one?

[FuzzyLumpkins]

Can Tony actually have a bad game this season before this inane argument begins?

 

[ilykdrama]

OH. MY. GOD.

MAKE THESE THREADS STOP.

 

[CowboyMike]

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 !

Bad game? The first INT Romo throws, we will most assuredly be revisiting this nonsense again. Guaranteed.

 

[adbutcher]

Stop it.

I wish the zone had a ratings system because this would be a 1 star thread.

Click bait.....stop it..... Its PRESEASON

 

[MonsterD]

Well lets say the cowboys are the titanic, Tony is the captain,and 8 times the ship hits the iceberg and sinks.
I suggest another captain, and everyone says no Tony is the captain, till he retires, and he wont hit the iceberg this year !

And the consensus is Tony is guaranteed a starter role till he doesnt want to play anymore.
Tony wants to play 5 more years, maybe longer.
One poster said something that does make sense, with the money jerry is paying romo, he is going to want him to start.
So Dak better find a good spot on the bench and get a clipboard, because unless tony is hurt, that is where he will be.

And odds are we will run into the iceberg somewhere in the playoffs.

Why should there not be a competition for the starting

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

Science has not invented a measurement great enough to quantify your dumbness on this issue.

And I'm a Dak fan. Dak looks great but he's 23 and Romo's 36. Gotta go with the experience and proven talent while you still have it.

Romo sat 3 years. Rodgers sat 3 as well if I remember right.

I'm fine with Prescott as the backup and heir apparent.

This is Romo's team.

[Vtwin]

Starting Dak would be stupid. What they should do is rotate them every play. Less chance of Romo getting injured and less pressure on the rook. Win Win!

 

[Manwiththeplan]

I'm going to just assume this was made in jest

 

[kevm3]

Romo is the starting qb for the next two years unless he gets injured. This will also allow Dak to ease himself into the game. Despite how excellent he is looking in the preseason, real games are a different matter and it will be helpful to allow him to get accustomed to the NFL.

[sacowboysfan513]

This is how I look at it.

If Bill Parcells was the coach now he would say: "Please put the anointing oil away"

And then he would ride with Tony for at least the next two years with scattered playing time for Dak during games.

Then in year 3, its anybodys position at that point. And if Dak became starter at that point, he would be 25 years old with 2 years of experience learning the offense and learning how the NFL works.

Then he can come in and not only be as good as Romo was, but BETTER!

BUT all this doesn't happen if he starts as a Rookie.

Tony Romo is the starting QB period. I like what I am seeing with Dak and I think he has a future but Romo is the starting QB of this team. If Dallas was having Romo compete for the job he would have been out there week 1 of pre season. I do expect Romo to go this coming game as he and the rest of the 1st unit need to put in the work in live action together.

Poor dandydon taking it on the chin.lol. He's a long time member, don't recall him trolling before...maybe he was hitting the sauce.

How bout when he said the Murray fumble against GB was the OL's fault? Or when he said that the running game in 14 was all Murray and he didn't remember them really opening holes?

 

[pansophy]

Personally I'm just glad we have Dak. Even if he just turns out to above average it would be HUGE for us to not have to try to find a QB whenever Romo retires.

If we can stop taking 2nd risks on DE we might actually do something
