QB Debate: Tony or Dak week one?

[Turf Toe]

I'm embarrassed for the OP

 

[JohnnyHopkins]

Is this for reals, or just someone having some fun to get a reaction?

 

[Falco78]

We need to take the Aaron Rodgers approach with Dak, we'd be idiots to start him week 1

 

[Clove]

I think it is conducive for Prescott to sit and watch every nuance of the game this year and possibly next year. Watch things like certain blitzes, how to handle a close game, when to run, what passes not to make, how to handle cold weather, how to handle pressure games, how to audible out of things. There are just things he needs to learn from the bench right now, and I guarantee you he will thank the Cowboys for this.

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.

And if you give the conn to a Seaman recruit, you'll never get away from the pier, much less out of the harbor into the eventual icy waters. I would tell you to use your head, but...

Edit: BTW, the Titanic only sank once!

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.

...or the sauce hit him...there's something terribly wrong with his ability to formulate logic and sound reasoning.

 

[DFWJC]

During game the other day when someone posted a link to the Giants fans whining about Nassib compared to Zeke, one post stood out.

A guy said something like this: that all Giants fans should hope that they get to play vs Dak this year.
Because that would mean Romo was out and they'd have a real shot at winning....that they can no longer beat us with Romo playing.
lol

This makes me regret checking the boards. Again.

 

[CowboyChris]

I've tried to chime in a few times to this thread, but cant come up with the right words, so it goes like this....Romo is the starter and there is no way Dak could beat him out by the season opener, however if Romo starts playing poorly there is always the thought of a QB change....high unlikely. hope that sums it up for the OP

And just when I didn't think you could post something even dumber...

You have done it yet again...

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 !

Dak love is getting out of control

Pre season HOF
A whole new world when the games count

 

[KLJ]

That is true, but like clint said in unforgiven,"its got nothing to do with deserve"
I Think Tony would like the responses in this thread, everybody loves Tony.

you seem like a grade A troll

 

[DallasDomination]

I would consider pulling Romo only If he's having a CarolinaPanthers kind of performance...just down right terrible. But then what will that do to his confidence? Yeah we're riding Romo no matter what this season get over it.

 

[crashintonickdm]

for the love of god i hope the fans don't start chanting for this guy after romos first interception.

 

[Doomsday]

Is it April 1st already?

 

[ActualCowboysFan]

Enough that I emerged from lurking postless for months, just to confirm this assertion.
