Romo vs Dak

[erod]

FACTS. This your "dramatically" better QB with 13 years of complete football failure.

We have to go on their most recent games for a true comparison of where they are now.

Romo 2015 Stats - 4 games
QB Rating 79.4
Comp Pct 68.6
YPG 221.0
Y/A 7.3
TD 5
INT 7
Fumbles Lost 1
Rush TD 0

Dak 2016 Stats - 4 games
QB Rating 98.5
Comp Pct 67.9
YPG 253.0
Y/A 7.7
TD 3
INT 0
Fumbles lost 0
Rush TD 2

This is how the Cowboys blow 20 million. Is it any wonder why we haven't won anything in almost 20 years? And some "fans" truly love it.

That's disingenuous BS. Romo played hurt those last two games, but I'll play along.

Romo: 3-1 with wins against the Giants, Eagles, Dolphins, and a loss to Super Bowl-bound Panthers.
Dak: 3-1 with wins against the 2-2 Commanders, 1-3 Bears, and 1-4 Niners, and a loss to the 2-2 Giants.

Stop pretending you are stupid because i know you aren't. You're comparing his 4 games in his injury plagued season to this 4 game stretch by Dak? You're reaching so hard to defend Dak that it's getting pathetic now. Dak uses 50% of the playbook. Romo uses 100% there's a stat for you.

Do you see a dramatic difference between this rising rookie and this washed up 13 year failure? Be honest.

I can point to one who is much better on the stat sheet in the same number of games. I can also point to one who elevates all the players around him and can actually stay healthy and another who repeatedly FAILS and runs the team into the ground repeatedly. One costs 20 million... If you were investing, which would you buy?

 

[erod]

That is a pure guess and wishful thinking. Nothing more.

While we are it, look at the Cowboys track record over the last 13 years. 2 playoff wins. Are the Cleveland Browns that bad? Seriously... Seattle rolled with their rookie QB and have won a SB with him. Face the facts, Romo FAILED and is dead weight at this point. We can either continue to let him ride this team into the ground or we can build around a future star. Easy decision.

Easy decision? LOL, only for people who know nothing about football perhaps.

Your "future star" has beaten the Cleveland Browns three times essentially. You are easily impressed. That's the exact thinking that could ruin Dak Prescott. He needs schooling right now. He's running a dumbed-down offense that Linehan is brilliantly calling for him. He's a rookie, so that's the right approach.

So I guess you think Dan Marino sucks, too. And Fran Tarkenton. Meanwhile, I guess that Eli Manning, Brad Johnson, Trent Dilfer, Doug Williams, and Bob Griese are among the all-time greats?

What Romo has done here is nothing short of miraculous at times. Taking 3-13 rosters to 8-8 is harder than taking the 2000 Ravens to a championship by a long shot.

Yes, Romo was better. If you know what you're looking at.

 

[Gabe]

Yes, Romo was better. If you know what you're looking at.

I've been looking at 13 years of FAILURE. I am also looking at someone washed up old and wrinkled who cannot stay healthy. What exactly are you looking at?

 

[TheCount]

I see this debate is still raging on, i can barley figure out as to why.

Are you ******* serious? You made YET ANOTHER Romo vs Dak thread and your first sentence is you can't figure out why people are still talking about it?

 

[dragon_mikal]

Yes, Romo was better. If you know what you're looking at.

Don't bother with him, man. He's a blood relative of Dak's...there's no other way to explain his obsession. I mean he didn't join the forums until right after the draft.

If Romo is put back in he'll disappear.

"Fire Garrett" obviously another fan who is enamored with FAILURE. Im tired of seeing this team lose.

 

[Hook'em#11]

uhh Romo looked pretty good against miami in the preseason which many including the op seem to have forgotten.

I didn't forget, just like I haven't forgotten when he got injured, again, the week after in Seattle..

I still think it's Romo's team and he will be back in the starting lineup. If he lasts, great. Dak can gain more experience on the sidelines and watching Romo. If Romo gets injured. I am glad that Dak is there to step in. He is the future of this team. Maybe. . Who knows.

Dak: 3-1 with wins against the 2-2 Commanders, 1-3 Bears, and 1-4 Niners, and a loss to the 2-2 Giants.

What were those other teams records? Romo wins with WORSE stats I may add. NYG 6-10, Miami Dolphins 6-10, Philly 7-9. Again, with WORSE stats.

This is "dramatically better?" Complete and total lie. I'd be willing to bet this same attitude/nonsense is present throughout the Cowboys organization. And some people are scratching their heads as to why we fail year after year after year.

 

[TellerMorrow34]

The same people wanting Romo to start will be the same people who will criticize this team if they start him and he fails. Mark that down, the same exact people.

Minus one.

I want Romo to start.

If he does poorly, and the team does so because of it, I will not be upset with the team.

So you can mark that down as well.

 

[Hawkeye19]

Yah-- in fact reports this offseason before the injury was that this is the best he has EVER looked. But-- well, the rookie looks good and we won 3 games in a row, so go ahead and put the most prolific passer in the history of the franchise out to pasture.

 

[Risen Star]

The same people wanting Romo to start will be the same people who will criticize this team if they start him and he fails. Mark that down, the same exact people.

Mark it down right now. If the team makes personnel errors some fans will criticize them for it.

We have an irrational and unreasonable fan base.

 

[Risen Star]

I see this debate is still raging on, i can barley figure out as to why. Some people i see are posting about Romo thinking he will return without having lost any abilities from his injuries and all this time he has spent on the sidelines. How did some of you come to this conclusion that someone with this many injuries/time off can simply come back without having lost a step/beat? Did you not see in the preseason that this is not the same Romo anymore, were we watching different games?

Sometimes i think we posters just want to be heard because we have nothing better to do.

You made that evaluation of Romo based off of 3 snaps in the preseason and it's other fans who just want to be heard and have nothing better to do?

 

[Sarek]

Are you ******* serious? You made YET ANOTHER Romo vs Dak thread and your first sentence is you can't figure out why people are still talking about it?

Yes i did, good to see you didn't waste any time jumping in.

You made that evaluation of Romo based off of 3 snaps in the preseason and it's other fans who just want to be heard and have nothing better to do?

I made that evaluation based on the fact he is done way before those three snaps, but if you need more time to see it you'll get your chance again soon enough.

We have no idea how Romo will do when he returns.
You could be correct and he underperforms. If that's the case, he will be replaced sooner rather than later.
If he plays well and the team wins, everyone benefits.
But we won't until anything until he gets on the field. Which he will when healthy.

You mean you have no idea, he wont under perform, he just cant perform, but its a pill some can't swallow yet.

 

[Risen Star]

I made that evaluation based on the fact he is done way before those three snaps, but if you need more time to see it you'll get your chance again soon enough.

I think he's done too but you asked didn't anyone watch him in the preseason. He played 3 snaps. I doubt that's enough to change anyone's mind on Romo.

 

[Risen Star]

New back tattoo. Go Cowboys.

 

[Animosity]

We can either continue to let him ride this team into the ground or we can build around a future star. Easy decision.

Just let him think that after failing for 10 years, Romo is somehow going to turn into Tom Brady all of a sudden. lol. Thats pure insanity.

Anyone with a brain would start Dak over the failure that is Romo.

10 years, 2 playoff wins. How many playoff wins does a guy like Andrew Luck have? I can assure you its more than double that of Romo, and Luck hasnt been in the league for 13 years.

Did you not see in the preseason that this is not the same Romo anymore, were we watching different games?

Sometimes i think we posters just want to be heard because we have nothing better to do. The Romo debate is 90% over, but Jerry is crazy so he will throw Romo back in there without a second thought because of all the money he sent Romo's way, Jerry doesn't want it to look like a bad move, but it was a bad move, and there is not much Jerry can do about it now.

I don't know how good Dak can be or if he is the future, but i know Romo is done. At best Romo plays a few good games before hes going in for another surgery/time off.

I get it that some fans want Romo to retire with a ring, but your asking Dak to do half the lifting maybe more and then have Romo get lucky in a playoff run? So a injured/battered Romo will get lucky now but that same luck always evaded him in previous attempts? I guess were all different but that stance seems way to optimistic for me.

Well im sure this post/thread has flaws, but i think the overall point of view i'm trying to get across is as solid as it will get. Romo is done, don't be mad at people who see it or post it. If you need more time to see/accept it, well take all the time you need.

It wasn't a bad move to extend Romo we had nothing behind him and he was one of the most productive QBs in the league. No one questioned the decision other than the brainiacs on this board who wanted to either trade Romo or let him walk and tank for a few years until we found another franchise QB. We had a 12-4 season under Romo with him having a career year that season, that had him in the running for league MVP. Had we not extended him and allowed him to walk we would have been stuck winning 4-5 games every season with a bunch of castoffs at the position. Granted he's had injuries but we wouldn't have had a chance without him because we've ignored the QB position in the draft. We kept wasting our time with these undrafted free agent developmental projects who couldn't play hoping we could strike gold again. Don't think for one second Jerry will throw Romo back into the lineup if Dak continues to progress and we continue to win games due to the money Romo is making. Dak is making Jerry and the organization look real good by using a 4th round draft pick on a kid who's been one of the brightest rookies in the league this season and has the Cowboys sitting at 3-1. He's played so well we have a QB controversy, who would have ever imagined that this season?

Romo is close to being done, his body is breaking down and his chances of leading the Cowboys to a championship have come and gone but Dak has given the organization new hope for the future. He couldn't have come along a better time with Romo becoming a china doll. If what we've seen in preseason and the first 4 games of the regular season is any indication then Dak has a chance to be great. He has the physical tools and the intangibles you look for in a QB plus he handles the media well. He's shown poise and good decision making under pressure and provides a duel threat that we haven't had since the days of Roger Staubach. He still has a long way to go and we have to see how he handles adversity which he's sure to face before this season is over but he's shown the potential to be special.
