Facts. They get revisionist history on Romo. The Cowboys were the most talented team in the NFC in 2007.
Right after Romo became the starter. Dak also inherited a very talented team, and didn't do much with it.

Romo got better over the years, while Dak showed spurts of greatness, then sputtered.

I guess I'd sum it up this way:
I was always wishing the Cowboys would get better players to help Romo, while I keep wishing they'd get players good enough to allow Dak to just drive the bus.

Things were no better under Romo. Three NFC East titles, 0-3 in season finale elimination games and a 2-4 playoff record. Funny how some are acting like we had it so much better with him. :laugh: Fans couldn’t wait to get rid of him after the egg he laid against Washington in the season finale in 2012 that kept the Cowboys home for the playoffs.

1 year and he succeeded. Tell me who he had on his line most of his career. Just stop being a putz about it AC. Your love of Dak and hatred of Romo makes zero sense, BTW is Marathon the little yes men that stands behind you and just yells “yeah” every post? It’s bizarre. Do yall share accounts at sleep overs
You don't want me to answer your questions with facts. Breakdown alert. Would rather let you think Romo had no talent around him.

I think it's funny to claim one had more talented teams than the other. How did anyone forget Romo dragging the team to 3 consecutive 8-8 seasons w/ the worst D of all time? How about Costa? How about Jerry proclaiming "If you have a mobile QB, you don't need a good OL?"

Both QBs went through times w/ subpar talent, both Qbs had good teams at times. Neither had a great D at any time.

Oh we disagree there. I always wanted us to lean on the running game. Not as a slight to Romo but it was smart football. Build the trenches up and ride it in the playoffs. The less Romo throws the better. Once again not a slight but common sense the less you have to throw the less prone to mistakes you are. Same thing for Dak.
It’s very weird your perception of Romo and Dak are different despite having the same career lol.

Romo had arguably his best season at 34…Dak has his at 30….Dak follows it up with an injury plagued season and Romo does it the same lol. It’s literally the same career but you believe Dak has sputtered despite stats saying otherwise lol.

I’m really confused at the weird revisionist history people are having.

Where are your facts. You try this lame bs in every thread you enter and then give opinions and yell “facts” Grow up. You are a child on this board who has zero rationality or objectivity. It’s bizarre. AGAIN, I don’t look at Romo and Dak any differently when it comes to post season. I just don’t put them down irrationally. Romo did a lot with a crap line etc

It’s funny though that’s way lighter than your posts about Dak. I also don’t give a damn about Cabo that is not why we lost lol. When we lost to Seattle Cabo wasn’t involved and when the Vikings beat the living crap out of us no Cabo was involved either. People just used that as a scapegoat…and where are these posts of Dak fans calling Aikman an average? That seems far fetched.
:) I'm not going to search the whole zone for those posts for you. Farfetched you say, when I'm sure that all the regulars on here have seen it. Maybe you do deserve the gaslight moniker, acting shocked, like it didn't happen. Just shows that you don't post in good faith, and anyone on either side who posts in good faith will know you are feinting ignorance. But hey, if you want people to know that you are a phony that's on you.

You're way off, Runny.

Dak as a rookie had the Cowboys on the verge of making at least the NFC Championship Game had it not been for the crooked refs helping out Aaron Rodgers and the Packers all game long during that divisional playoff game that ended 34 - 31.

You say Dak has not gotten better with age? Do I need to post his stats and accomplishments year by year?

You say Dak is a bus driver, yet he's about to break Romo's franchise passing records this upcoming 2025 season in lesser games played overall than Romo did. Dak is about to become the Cowboys franchise passing leader in yards, accuracy %, least amount of turnovers, passer rating, etc with more playoff games played in lesser amount of games played than Romo, yet Romo was a top franchise QB while Dak is only a bus driver? Get out of here with that baloney.

What games did he build those stats on? Sure, he beat the snot out of some very weak teams, and got a lot of completions and yards against prevent defenses, when the opponents were just trying to run the clock out. His stats are generally pretty mediocre against good teams.

To be honest, I don't remember if Romo had a lot of the same, but I do remember him being competitive against better teams.
