Romo 2014 or Dak 2023

[SultanOfSix]

What did they do as a team that amounted to anything?

Given their talent, it was nothing but underachievement and failure.

No hyperbole. Facts.

Really? This is your simplistic logic?

Yeah, because winning a SB is an ORGANIZATIONAL effort, from personnel and player management, to coaching in all three phases of the game, to play on the field. Not a damn person in the upper echelons of professional football management thought Romo, Witten, Ware, etc., were the reasons why the Cowboys never won a SB during their years. The mere fact that all of them played under Garrett for most of their years is a handicap.

You can argue til the cows come home, but at night when you’re alone with your thoughts, you know I’m right about how they were a team that did nothing but disappear when it counted most.

And #9 is the poster boy for that awful time period.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

Yes, but he threw 155 more passes to get it. If you break it down to what was done with each pass thrown Romo's stats were better.

But you are right about Romo having the better O-Line, and the help of a stronger running game.

It's just not really a fair question with a clear cut answer.

That's what? 3 games worth of passes?

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

I did a search looking for those stats on google. You can do the same thing.

I LITERALLY JUST TOLD YOU the RUSH DEFENSE WAS WORSE NOW THEN IN 2014...lord have mercy.

Yep. No one wants to admit it. I didn't at the time but in hindsight....#9 represents a tough time here just like Quincy before him, Henson and all those other guys. Sure Romo was better and had great stats but that made it worse. They weren't good. Romo was and we still did nothing. Poster child for underachieving.

Dont you find it ironic that Dak fans are so irrational and use simplistic logic.

“Romo only won two wild card games”
Meanwhile Dak has done exactly the same

“Dak’s 2023 is better than any Romo season!”
Meanwhile the numbers dont support this

“Romo was a bus driver in 2014 because Murray led the league in rushing”
They hate when Dak “haters” called Dak a bus driver when Zeke at one point had the most rushing yards in the league for multiple years

“Jason Garrett & Scott Linehan were horrible coaches and ran a simplistic offense!”
Meanwhile Romo was saddled w this offense his entire career

“Mike McCarthy is the best coach we’ve had since Jimmy”
Self-explanatory


At this point, they cant be taken seriously

 

[Gangsta Spanksta]

2014 we had a running game. 2023 there is no running game. So of course there is less yards passing...

 

[SultanOfSix]

I LITERALLY JUST TOLD YOU the RUSH DEFENSE WAS WORSE NOW THEN IN 2014...lord have mercy.

Dude. You said post the stats. I basically said go look for them yourself like I did. And who cares if the rush defense was worse? The more important stats are team defense and scoring defense. After all, that is what helps win more games.

 

[PA Cowboy Fan]

Dude, you just said that the Romo, Witten, Ware, etc., (players taken under Parcells) years were the “dark ages” of Cowboys football. Talk about an absurd hyperbole to diminish him and them when the team has years with the likes of Campo, later years Tom Landry pre-Jimmy, etc.

They were the dark years. I never expected anything from the Campo years or the later Landry years. They didn't have the talent. Romo and his teammates had the talent and blew it. Most disappointed era of Cowboy football ever.

 

[DFWJC]

If we are being real and talking about players relative to era played in.....
then Roger Staubach had several years better than either of these options.

He was a big outlier a few times relative to everyone else.

 

[VaqueroTD]

Ask me when Tourney is over.

Right now, answer is none of the above. Aikman or Staubach.

Poor coaching, but not even then, other than 2007, they never had the best roster in football. Now way
And really, even in 2007 they didn't because the Patriots went undefeated and beat us by 3 TDs

That’s some weird equivocation on “dark ages”.

Also, those teams were repeatedly grilled in the media for overrating their talent.

Both mid

Like it or not, Romo’s story is over. He never was nor ever will be a champion.

Hate to state the obvious, but our Cowboys have a chance right now with Dak leading the way.

But, even if Dak does win it all, we all know you’ll still hate him while caressing your Romo plushie.

 

[Flamma]

Who do you think had a better season. Both were peak years that could have won MVPs but got beat out by the narrative. Dak gets his chance to do what Romo couldn't do and beat the Packers. I'm going with Dak he has been lights out.

Romo - 3705 yards 34 TDs 9 Ints
Dak - 4516 yards 36 TDs 9 Ints

I'm going to say Romo because that team could be anyone. Even the SB champs on the road. But the comparison isn't fair because Romo had the benefit of an 1800 yard rusher.

Same thing with the GB comparison. The team Dak is playing against doesn't qualify for the playoffs back in 2014. That 2014 GB team was the 2nd seed I believe. Dak is playing a seed that never won a playoff game.

I'm kind of waffling back and forth on this one. Mainly because Dak is carrying the bigger load.

You don't think that 2014 Lions team is comp[arable to this Packers team?
