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

[Clove]

No. That's only your blatantly biased negative perspective of his legacy.

His legacy is one of some great regular season success. That's it. And that's fact.

His legacy isn't over until he decides to retire. Hence, the term. And that's a fact.

I'm glad people like you over react. I didn't say Romo was a turnover machine. He turns the ball over and anybody arguing he doesn't is foolish. Dak had 4 interceptions all year......Romo has had 5 in 1 game before. So my point is Romo would have turned the ball over more and in some tight games we had this year could have been a lost instead of a win.

Keep thinking you're so much more knowledgeable then everybody though

I didn't overreact - I reacted to your post in which you were either mis informed or didn't know and I showed you why.

And sorry I am better - and so are you. That's why we're here, otherwise, we'd be on Facebook and you now how that is.

Look, I'm not ripping on you personally, I like your posts - you're passionate I love that. But look what you just said.

"He turns the ball over."

Hell yes he does, but less than some of the greatest quarterbacks ever. You think Dak is going to continue this? The game plan they have given him is to protect him in his rookie season and it's been great. He's been phenomenal.

"Five INT games."

You're picking on a Romo 5 INT game? You know how many HOFers had those? How about Peyton, Manning, Favre, Van Brocklin, Namath?

Sorry - I was wrong - they all had 6 INT games. Some had 7. One or two games in a career? How can you ever judge a QB by that?

Finally, Romo very well could've thrown more INT's this season because he would've thrown the ball down the field more. He's a veteran, the game plans would've been different.

Yes - I am better than 90% of Cowboy fans as are virtually every poster on here, that's why we are here. We're invested - and so are you! Just own it.

Its speculating no matter how you slice it.

If I told you before the season started Dak would lead this team to 11 straight wins and 13-2 record........what would you have said

I said it's not "just" speculating. Like I said, it's providing a context that educates the speculation. What you've said is just absolute speculation because it's predicting the future without anything at all to base it on. No one would have predicted such a season and no one did.

The irony here is that the simplicity of our game plans has led to our dominance this year. The way Linnehan designed the offense around Dak... Dak's mobility and how he played off Zeke... Dak's efficiency and the way he protected the football.. Dak has been tremendous this year and I think most of us are glossing over this. Opponents and Cowboys haters were lying in wait all year for us to look like that familiar "accident".. but Dake simply wouldn't give it to them. This has been a different Cowboy team than years past. We missed several key starters at various points and just kept plugging along. Our very WORST game was a three point loss on the road with a chance to still win at the end. I'm so encouraged by this team.

Somewhere other than the Cowboys.

That's a great post.

We have no idea how Romo plays. Does he make it the entire season healthy? Does he have less then 4 interceptions? Thinking he wins 11 straight and 13 total is nuts as well

I'd bet he'd have more than four interceptions because the play book would be more open. Dak has managed the games really well this season.
Romo would have put up more points. IMOP the bigger part of the offense this season has been Zeke. As in 2014 when Romo had a RB he performed at his best. If Murray don't fumble or Bryant catches the ball clean, yes Romo certainly would have been 13-3. Who knows if he would get injured again. Do we know if Dak will?

 

[mattjames2010]

When has Romo ever avoided turnovers? That being said you aren't having 4-5 drives like that every game

2009, 2011, 2013, 2014?

Are we trying to rewrite history here or are you being intentionally obtuse? You can tell me.

Maybe those tight games wouldn't have been so tight. We certainly will never know but Romo has pulled out some tight games. To do that you have to be willing to take chances. Turnovers are just part of taking chances.

 

[Dave_in-NC]

Besides Zeke what weapons? Dez has averaged like 4 catches a game this season and we went 4-0 without him. Cole Beasley was the #1 receiver, Cole Beasley. Not exactly Jerry Rice.

Your right. We are the least talented 13-3 team the NFL has ever seen.

 

[Elusive6thRing]

You think Dak is going to continue this?.

Absolutely, he only threw 23 interceptions in college out of over 1,000 throws. He takes what the defense gives him he will have one of the best interception ratios in NFL history unless something goes seriously wrong.

 

[CrownCowboy]

Romo played last season, come on now what was his stats.........

5 TD's 7 INT's I believe.

Your point?

 

[Elusive6thRing]

Your right. We are the least talented 13-3 team the NFL has ever seen.

I didn't say that, but you act like we have a talentless QB that lead us to 13-3. The weapon argument against Dak is absurd. He does have Zeke and Zeke is absolutely a weapon, but Dez has had a below average season, and the rest of the receivers are not world beaters. Please explain what part of this is incorrect.

You getting it all confused. I'm not putting Romo down in fact if you pay attention to my post I have actually defended Romo. Someone said if Romo avoids turnovers he would win all these games. My point isn't about Romo being turnover prone like Eli or Rivers (in fact I never said anybody) it was about Dak keeping his interceptions to 4 all season and Romo having 9 or more every year and 19 a time or two. Odds are Romo would be between 9-19 more so then 4 which means in tight games this season at least 5 more interceptions could be the difference in 13-3 and 8-8 it in between.

So yes you over reacted. If you thought I was saying Romo was worst in the league with turnovers then I'm sorry I didn't write it more better for you to understand.

Debate anything you want but talking about Dak and Romo at this point, Romo throws more interceptions then Dak. Not only that Romo has made very few combined in his years but they always came at the wrong time or crucial parts of the games. Dak has thrown his 4 mostly in the first half.

That being said Dak might have 20 next year but that's speculating and I'm going from what I see

 

[Irvin88_4life]

5 TD's 7 INT's I believe.

Your point?

That's amazing huh

 

[THEHEREAFTER]

When you have a brief affair... it can be so intoxicating. So passionate... It's everything your wife isn't. Now leave your wife and live with the side chic day in ... day out... and it's a different ballgame. I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest that if Romo took over immediately after the philly game... based on the way we started the season... A LOT of the Romo or bust people and fence sitters would be LONGING for our incredible rookie. Just the way fans are.. especially if we got some mixed results from Tony after seeing him EVERY play in EVERY game.

 

[joseephuss]

I think Romo and McFadden doing well today illustrates just how much chemistry this team has this season. It is a very good group of teammates.

Well first off you don't know if Romo would score more points. Second we know Dak will stay healthy all season cause today was the last game of the regular season and Dak played in all 16

 

[Irvin88_4life]

Maybe those tight games wouldn't have been so tight. We certainly will never know but Romo has pulled out some tight games. To do that you have to be willing to take chances. Turnovers are just part of taking chances.

Dak played tight games, won them and didn't take a chance. Romo most likely wins some tight games, true but he would lose some too
