Regardless of what you think about Dak

He should have been given the opportunity to see if he could play when he came back. We pissed off a great chance to get to a super bowl.

Maybe, maybe not. He could have also gotten injured again just as easily.

No hate on Romo but you injuries end guys careers all the time in the NFL. It’s a part of the game.

He’d probably get past the first playoff game with a RB averaging over 5 YPC and defenses stacking the box to stop him.

And I’m pretty sure he wouldn’t throw record pick 6s this year like Dak did nor would they need to dumb down the offense for him like they did this year after giving him more responsibility of which he failed at..

I can say he'd prob not finish 13-3 and gotten Dallas the #1 seed in the NFC.

I think Blake is probably a better runner

I think Foles is a better Down the field thrower. Foles is one of the best at it. It's his best strength.

Everyone must admit that he is AT LEAST as good as Keenum and Foles and better than Bortles. I would argue that his running ability alone makes him better than all three when he's playing well. Regardless, those who we can't win big with him are arguing in the face of current events.

It's why I maintain our draft/FA should be dedicated to defense.
Why must we admit that he's just as good? He looked like crap the entire season minus a couple games, and he looked even worse when Zeke served his suspension. Foles Bortles & Keenum can all throw the ball better than Dak.
Foles don't have to throw to Dez.
The Eagles WRs don't have a QB throwing over their heads or out of bounds either.

Who’s making excuses for Jerry? He sucks, it’s his fault we have this HC.
Plenty of people, just got in an argument with someone yesterday about it whomwasmtouting his HOF status and the fact that he’s “won” 3 SB’s. For every thread complaining about coaching there should be about 5 complaining about Jerry.

Since Jerry took over (after Jimmy's departure) what do we have to show for his GM talents? A big 0.....24 years and counting.....a oilman/salesman playing with his Toy the Dallas Cowboys...his guts our blood....

Yup, and I just got done responding to ANOTHER post of someone defending Jerry.

Let me know when Rodgers misses a season and a half in a row.

Rodgers is also younger than Romo was and a better player. As much as I like Romo the comparison isn’t similar
He's one fluke hit like Romo got in that preseason game away.

That post makes no sense. The Cowboys knew before they drafted Jaylon he wasn't getting onto the field until this year. Now give it a few years and you can start comparing players. Now...it's far too early.

His point was to stop drafting players who are projects. The fact they knew he would miss a full season is the reason we should have never drafted him. Iur defense was awful the year before we drafted. We are noy good enough to waste rd picks on playets who wont have an immediate impact. It was a stupid pick.

Tony Romo played only one more season than Rodgers. Like I said, apparently you know more than the specialists..

Rodgers has broken his collarbone twice and gotten like 13 screws in it the last time around. How’s that no fragile and brittle?

And Romo may not be a better QB than Rodgers, but he’s a much better QB than Dak. We aren’t talking about replacing Romo for Rodgers..

It’s called sarcasm.

Thanks for proving my original point.

Age caught up with him.

How is not being able to work out and get in playing shape because of surgery the whole off-season about age? What exactly do you think off-season is for with players regarding working out and OTAs?

Any person getting that surgery would require significant amount of time to recuperate and not be able to work out accordingly.

I used to defend Jerry but it’s no longer defensible. The latest disaster that is indefensible is he let Goodell make an absolute fool of him regarding the Zeke case.

Comparing Dak to backups is pointless. I don't personally believe in any of these scenarios you have a Kurt Warner waiting to bust out. The one thing Dak doesn't have and will never has is IT. Did you see Brady's eyes, his where with all on the sidelines, his presence in the huddle.....guys like him are a lottery pick. Trying to compare Dak to greatness is also pointless as he will never have it. Not his fault he just can't put a team on his shoulders when the chips are down. Now what do those other three QBs have that Dak doesn't. Coaches...real woodshed working coaches who understand the game. Unless you have greatness and can overcome bad coaching you need everything to go right. Those three have had everything go right. Which like Dak is why they excel when things are going right. When things are going right for Dak he excels and its as simple as that. Minn, Jax, and Igglets have had some darn good coaching this year. It's not a coincidence those three QBs have had a decent showing.

Dak is not better than Foles IMO. Foles can throw the deep ball and is pretty accurate at that. Dak has no deep ball touch. He either throws it short or overthrows it. He doesn't seem to be that good at reading coverages and looking off his first read to find an open receiver. When he does, he opts for the 4 yard pass to Witten.

Lol but supposedly he was in peak shape and ready to roll after breaking his back (again) ???

Ludicrous

Uh yes he was..

Because he didn’t have surgery, the injury just requires rest, and could still work out and he was more than ready after his 8 weeks and plenty of time to practice.. he was already rehabbing his back in September..

which is why, when he was on the field in Philly, let alone practice, he was light years better than Dak and pretty thin..

Like I said, apparently your the medical specialist and not the spine doctors as is evidenced by all this analysis..

And how far removed from surgery, was Romo when he broke his back in August?

The dude was injury prone towards the end.

Look at how many games he missed.

It’s a fact.

He didn’t even survive his first hit in the pre-season for crying out loud.

Why do you think Romo didn’t play this season?

If not for the injury history and age, another team would have thrown serious cash at him.

But I’m sure you know more than other GM’s around the league too?

You are just making excuses.. the medical experts all said differently and yet you continue to yap away.

And Romo has a choice to play but he wasn’t going to play for bums and he clearly wanted to play with the Cowboys and teams weren’t going to pay huge bucks and mortgage their future for short-term..
