Romo Time

[DIAF]

Exactly this whole entire thread is ridiculous my how quickly a honeymoon can end for weeks most fans were saying Dak is the future and after his bad game against the Giants now he sucks and is an incompetent QB wow how some of these fans disgust me. I seen several games where good QBs stunk it up today Wilson threw 5Ints, Big Ben 3Ints, and Brees 3Ints and for some reason I kind of knew Dak would have a similar game tonight well on to the next game. I will just chalk it up as a bad game by Dak it happens as you mentioned.

Yeah but this is going on 3 weeks in a row now where Dak hasn't looked like DAK from mid-season. How long do you let him continue to slide just because he's "earned" it? Are you willing to cost the Boys a shot at a title game just because a rookie QB played well 5 games ago?

I certainly don't. We all know Romo is gone after this year, but that doesn't mean he's not the better QB RIGHT NOW. You need THAT guy to win in the playoffs. This is no time for rookie growing pains.

What I am seeing here is that there are many people who have staked their forum identities on being DAK GUYS that they would be willing to have this team lose in the playoffs just so their guy keeps playing and thus they are validated.

I don't give a **** about any of that. I am a well-known Romo 'hater' but I know what he's capable of, which is far better than Dak has shown the last 3 weeks.

Dak should get the TB game. If he struggles, then it's Romo time. Anyone that thinks otherwise is more interested in being "right" on a forum than having their favorite team WIN.

Doubtful, Seattle sucks on the road but they will know how to frustrate Dak at home. I am willing to give Dak another chance, but after the last two weeks he needs to perform or we move on.

So you're saying that Dak sucks and should be cut? We should ride with Romo until he's killed on the field, then go draft another QB?

I think he's played amazingly well for a rookie. But I know that teams fear Zeke about 1000 times more than Dak. They game plan for Zeke, if you doubt it look no further than Dak's good throw tonight - the entire defense went after Zeke and left Williams uncovered. So saying this team couldn't win anything isn't quite true, because this team has the best RB in the NFL. Last year's team didn't.

Romo, if healthy, could really open up the field for Zeke.

 

[benson]

Dak is coming back down to earth against good defenses. Guess what's going to happen in the playoffs? Defenses are going to absolutely shut Zeke down, and force Dak to beat them. Then this will happen.

1 and done. Comical considering Romo is healthy and on the sideline.

And I was told that any back could run behind this OL. It's always something. Tony had his best year in 2014 when we finally had a running game. This is a good thing. The coaches better go back to what was working.

Literally no one is saying that.

Dak guys sure are getting defensive.

 

[bjfrancez]

The word is Romo wasn't put back in when healthy, because you keep going with what's working. What do you do when its no longer working?

 

[noletime95]

Exactly. Thus, the reason Dak is playing and Romo is riding the pine.

We agree to disagree, go Cowboys

When did I say anything remotely like that? Moving on from a rookie means temporarily. If you remember I was one of the few that was pro Dak from the start saying his floor was that of a good backup. But right now he's not doing what needs to be done, and if that continues to happen why not put the best backup in the game in and give Dak more time to mature?

P.S. if I remember correctly you were one of the ones saying that the playoffs were impossible after the first game.

 

[brymatt94]

I've been seeing these issues for a couple months now. I was dog piled, that's fine.

Again, when Dak was in a desperate situation and needed to fit a ball into a tight spot, show me where he did it tonight. The CBs were given a chance to jump routes. It was pathetic. I don't like noodle arms at QB. Maybe you guys are okay with that, I'm not.

Yes, you really should be an NFL GM, what happened?

If Dak continues to play poorly then the Cowboys should definitely make the switch. But that does not mean Dak does not have a future. He has a lot to grown on. Most of his shortcomings are fixable with some more development. He is definitely not at the level of Tony Romo by any margin. But he does have great qualities, and that includes his overall skill set and his intagibles.

Dak just isn't ready. He'll be fine in the long run.

If you want to see Zeke really take off, Romo can open up the field.

The end of that game needed Romo's ability to run the offense like he does.

 

[plymkr]

Did they give Dak and Dez any stack plays, any rub routes, any Dez in motion/slot...........did Garretts scheme bring anything out of the playbook to help the young Qb?...............nope stayed with basic stuff NYG were all over.

Nope, Linehan and Garrett did nothing to help the young QB, neither did his receivers. And I'm a Romo guy and I want Romo to start but you have a valid point. Coaches didn't coach well, receivers did not run great routes and receivers did not get a lot of separation and there was a lot of people in Dak's face tonight when he tried to throw. We didn't make any adjustments.

The whole offense sucked, not just Dak. He did his fair share of sucking but the whole offense let the defense down.

Dak doesn't even have a noodle arm like that poster suggests. However, one knock on Dak coming out of Miss St. was that his footwork was awful. I've been watching for that all year, and I still see his feet from time to time get too happy back there in the pocket. What you saw tonight was his worst game in terms of footwork all year, and when you are trying to throw the ball while your feet aren't planted properly you lose zip on your throws. That's exactly why some of Dak's throws look like they are noodle-armed.

Dallas coaching stafff vrs a divisional oppenent that came to play................do the same things over and over but expect diff. results...........the definition of.........

 

[noletime95]

I totally understand the perspective of sticking with Dak. But question for those against making a change....do you think the Giants keep running it up the middle their final three drives with a three point lead if Romo is playing? Honest answers please.

They don't respect the kid yet. Let him watch a vet do it for a while, may benefit him long term.

You're exactly right. If you don't have your feet under you, your passes are going to go to the moon. And this is exacerbated by the pressure he got tonight. But once again, it's fixable.

You don't consistently have success in this league for years having a noodle arm As I've said, others things can be worked on, arm strength is not one of them. You either can zip a ball into tight coverage or you can't. Dak simply can't do this consistently.

 

[Clove]

In 2014, Romo went 12-4. Right now, we're 11-2, so you can say all you want about Dak playing bad, this and that, but you have to stick with Dak Prescott right now. I wish we could all get on board, but the Romo love is STRONG tonight.

 

[plymkr]

Dak has no bright future. He has no zip on his passes. Looked shaky early on, couldn't take the cold. He's a journeyman. I liked what i saw of him in college and preseason, but he's hit a wall. He's figured out and at 11-2 with a chance to win a Super Bowl, put the freakin' better QB with experience in.

Done with this nonsense. And yet again, people will pretend to not see the flaws in Dak's game I've been pointing out for weeks. But hey he has the Tebow "it" factor and people love that.

I'm not sure if you're being serious about this. I agree with the idea that we have an 11-2 record and can win the super bowl this year with Romo. that I agree with 100%. But to say that Dak doesn't have a bright future and is going to be a journeyman then I respectfully disagree. I mean 5 hours ago he was in the talk of NFL MVP and now he doesn't have a bright future? Naw, he has a bright future and so do the Cowboys. Dak is still the man and the best rookie QB in the league. Now I'll entertain the idea of moving forward with the veteran Romo for the playoff push but it's a tad harsh to say he's not the QB of the future. A little premature for that strong of a statement.

There's no problem with Dak's armstrength. There is however, a problem with his footwork.

I'm an SEC guy, and I used to work in radio for one of the SEC schools. Ive watched a lot of Dak Prescott. Footwork has always been an issue.
