Romo and DMac prove there is no such thing as team chemistry

[Irvin88_4life]

Romo came out of nowhere draft-wise but I don't credit QBs too much based on potential. Potential is illusory - production is all that matters. I hope for the best with Dak - but I have minimal expectations for rookie QBs. And so I've been blown away by the play of Prescott for most of this season. His future looks bright.

I don't go off potential either....see my thoughts on Carson Wentz. I was merely saying Dak has played so well this season but has tons room for improvement and if he had the time Romo has no telling what his ceiling would be

No, the fact that you regularly exhibit trollish behavior seems to have been your undoing.

What's trollish about the truth? Seems guys like you don't like the truth. Someone said that nobody took hits like the one that Romo took during preseason, I argued that that hit happens every Sunday, so I was asked to give examples. I just gave one.

So again, how is that trollish?

Aaron Rodgers is a pretty good QB, some say one of the best ever. He has never lead his team to a #1 seed which Dak already has in his first season. He only got the #2 seed one time.

First of all even if this was true, it would be pretty dumb way of looking at anything as it is yet another stupid way of saying quarterbacks are the entire team. Dak didn't lead this team anywhere. He's a member of the team and he has a far smaller role than Aaron Rodgers has ever had on any of his teams.
Second, it's not true anyway.

I thought the new England Patriots proved that?

We were told, even here on this forum, going back to Tony would destroy team chemistry.

The point of the thread is that, as I said from the beginning, that's not the case.

If you have ability and execute the playbook, the team will win no matter which able-player is playing.

Sanchez isn't able. Morris isn't able.

Dmac, Tony, dak and Zeke are.

Ha,you wanna know what the funny part about your very last sentence is?
having all things equal other than putting ROMO and MCFADDEN on one team AND putting DAK and ZEKE on another team then they play the game,,,,, my monies getting slammed down hard and fast on the battle grizzled veterans winning that game,,,,EVERY TIME.

There's no substitute for the wisdom that comes from hard-won experience. The problem with these pro athletes is usually that by the time the head is all full of understanding of the deeper concepts of the game - the physical body is now waning. It's nice when we can catch them in their absolute prime balance of understanding and physical capability.

Witness LeBron James - and enjoy that while it lasts.

Dak played the entire season and went 13-2 with 11 straight wins. You say Romo and Zeke puts up more yards and I say Romo throws more then 4 interceptions which limits scoring drives......see how speculating works

Look at history.. Romo is a stat machine. And his game is putting up a ton of yards... unless Dak changes from conservative game manager, he will not be the stats machine Romo has been.

Is that what I want? Does that translates into more wins... not sure.

But that wasn't the question.

If you think a HEALTHY Romo wouldn't have thrown for more yards this year than Dak put up, with Zeke in the backfield, you need a straight jacket and a rubber room.

If you think Romo only throws for 4 interceptions and doesn't lose more then 2 games then you need a straight jacket and a rubber room

35 tds and 10 ints and about 4000 yards - 13-3 and maybe better. This team was dominant the entire season and if you think that was all because of Dak then you need to find your rubber room and we can let Zeke and the Oline throw you in!

It was Dak, not so much in that he played great, but in leadership, and attitude,working hard, expecting to win.
That was what made this team a winner.

Td's and yards dont mean that much, it is about getting the win each week.

The next 2 games, I dont care how they win as long as they win.

What Romo would have done this season, or could do now is all fantasy's in peoples heads.
JG I dont think will play tony, in playoffs unless Dak gets hurt, or is behind 34-0.

I would have liked to see tony play they whole last game, but JG didnt want to do that.
Tony and Dak are two different type qb's they both have good and bad in their game.
I dont think either is better than the other.

And when teams start getting to Romo then what? Y'all keep disrespecting what all Dak brings to the team.

Nobody is disrespecting what Dak can do. Just some of us KNOW that Romo would murder defenses with this current offense. Romo is, quite simply, the better passer at this stage of Daks career. Can Romo run like Dak? Nope. Doesn't need to.

 

[Sarge]

Might be even better with Romo and Zeke

Anyways, glad we have two QB's who can lead this team at a moments notice. Today only confirmed to me that Romo can still play at a high level and he will continue as health allows for us or another team. I am pretty sure that he is gone but it was great to see him out there today!

I am still convinced that Zeke is the x-factor in all of this, teams gameplan mainly for him. Would Dak and DMC be as effective? I am not so sure........

I love Dak and hope he continues on this path

The KEY is Dak is amazing at not turning the ball over. That is a HUGE statistic that is vastly ignored and/or under appreciated.

While I agree with you in theory I think that was not the question. The question is what I think Tony would have done if healthy and that's what I think and there is no reason from his past play that he would have not led this team to the same record we have right now. Dak did a great job and getting to the same place that I think Tony would have is only a huge compliment to Dak, not a negative.

Dak came in and took the reins and played a fantastic season but there is no reason to throw arrows at Tony when complimenting Dak like so many have done. And then to say Tony could not have done it is just mind-numbing to me after the way Tony has played through his career.

Keeping Dak as the starter was absolutely the best move for Dak and I think the future of this team after this year. To say that it is the best move for this season is an unknown at this point. We will see how it plays out. I understand that we have not made it deep into the playoffs with Tony but I am not one to put that blame on Tony. He could have played better in 2007 even though the WR's and Oline did him no favors in that game against the Giants. We had no chance with the Oline perf against Minn in that playoff game and the Green Bay game in 2014 was the first time ever that a QB had a QB Rating over 130 I think and not won the game so you can't put that one on Romo.

No doubt I would love to see Romo have the chance with this team mainly because of all the crap he has taken over the years from the outside as well as the ungrateful Cowboy fans and to prove them all wrong. I don't deny that and I think he gives us a better chance to win it all but Dak has also earned that chance as well and that seems the best move long term for the franchise.

Romo just need 4-5 drives like that every game and avoid TO. That'll win us 90+% of the games.

I could have swore Romo's first throw the DB got his hands on the ball which tells me that Romo was that close to throwing an int on his first throw..... I like Romo but 10+ years and 2 playoffs wins, cant blame the defense because Romo always made the critical turnover in clutch situations to lose game. Why cant people just be happy we have a QB in Dak that has a chance to be the 1st rookie QB to win a SB and keep our team relative for 10+ years.

Who said I am not happy about having Dak? I am just making a comment about Romo. Never called for Dak to be replaced?

However, like many you have selective memories about games Romo lost but forget all the games he won even when he lead us from behind. I don't think anyone can argue the fact that Romo carried this team for many years.

No, no he didn't. He had bad games like every QB, but the "always" is a blatant exaggeration of a 10+ career and you know it.
