Romo was an amazing quarterback

IMO, Troy had the luxury of having a put together team from the coaching staff to one of the best O-line in NFL history, which led to the NFL's leading rusher and a good set of WRs...not to mention the TE. And the defense was GREAT. Troy benefitted from that and as he should. Not to say Troy was trash cause he wasn't. But a superstar only because of the team around him. Not a QB that can put a team on his back

Romo, I liked. He was turnover prone. I think him and Dak are about the same to me. Had him or Dak had the team Troy had, I think both would be SB Champions. I've seen Romo put a team on his back. I've seen Dak put the team on his back. The difference between the two, only hearing other players say this, is Dak is a much better leader than Romo.
Do people correctly identify which boss is a good leader, in general? People will often say the boss that they like is a good leader over the boss that they don't like that gets thing done. Just because you like you boss doesn't make him a good leader.

Some of you are killing your own theory of why Dak will never get us to the SB, let alone win it. Cause if you thing Romo was so AMAZING, then why didn't we get to a SB?
Romo time came to an end. It looks like Dak time is coming to an end. You think we are going to get 2023 Dak after seeing 2024 Dak that was 3-5, who kept standing around in the backfield, taking sacks? Was there an injury we didn't know about, before the injury that ended it season?

I don’t know. I don’t credit it to being fast but at the same time everyone think is elusive is fast. Cunningham and Lamar were elusive. Vick was elusive. Romo would make you miss….is that really elusive? I’m on the fence.
elusive - difficult to find, catch, or achieve. The dictionary is your friend.

That’s an interesting take. Unless you’re talking about Dak at 31….but the whiny robot who blames everyone else no one ever shows examples of this lol. Hes accused of being a company guy but in the same breath people will say he’s whiny and blames everyone….
Maybe, but he does have a bunch of C3PO's as fans it seams.

Being a "good leader' ain't about who you like who who treats you the best. While a leader has respect and discretion, it can also be a "tough love" of sorts too.

I expect a good leader to correct me if needed, not just a pat on the behind or bikes.

CowboysZone DIEHARD Fan
Not sure about other fansites but Tony Romo received love here on CowboysZone, while meeting the same amount or greater criticism as Dak Prescott following the 2008 season. And that is accounting for the flak he received following the Seattle Seahawks failed field goal attempt in the wild card game.

I have reflected on the irony since 2017. Prescott 'love' has always been countered with criticism, while being deflected by Romo criticism.

Romo had zero deflection defense. Very few members routinely criticized Romo's predecessors to offset chastisement in critical postings about him. lol. I can testify here, on CowboysZone, very few (if any) members dislike Quincy Carter so much that they regularly mentioned him in posts approving of Romo's abilities as a quarterback.

In summary, Romo frequently caught it on the chin whenever he was praised. That's it. On the other hand, it is a normal reaction for Prescott's praise to be partially shielded by disapproval of Romo.

This is one reason why I have rarely considered Prescott's denunciation will ever reach the level of Romo's. The latter keeps getting dirt thrown on top of him. The former's mound of dirt is never allowed to level up, ironically due to those who praise him the most.
I never considered the point of Romo not having a "What about that guy?" deflection target. That's a valid point. People didn't have a relief scapegoat, to prop up Romo when he messed up.

This! And anyone saying otherwise has an agenda! The only reason those teams were even competitive some years was Romo running for his life and creating. Go watch the one 49er game. I was frustrated with his post season issues but appreciate how much he did to keep the team afloat. That’s what frustrates me with the Dak stuff because that kid was blessed with stacked teams and people still don’t think he has enough while hating on Romo
A franchise and NFL record 13 Pro Bowlers in 2007 proves you wrong.

Take that false agenda elsewhere.

No, Aikman WAS NEVER known as a choker. He started off 11-1 in post season play. Please don't put those 2 in the same breath, sentence ...

Romo was erratic, averaged-armed QB with "moxy"

Troy was a disciplined, accurate-passing MACHINE...
I’m just talking about the whole “laughing stock” thing. Cowboys are memes and people will find a way to make fun of guys. No matter accolades.
