Rookie Seasons: Dak vs R Wilson

[black label]

Then what happens if a cold/rusty Romo does not look like his best games of 2014 (his best season) and struggles? What then? How long of a leash does Romo get since Dak is being asked to the bench at 11-2?

You live with it

Don't think so, we'll live with Dak staying right where he's at.

Glad you aren't making the decisions for this team. With the attitude of "you live with it".

Did a little digging around Russell Wilson's rookie year. I compare Dak to him the most. Both came into similar situations. Drafted 3rd and 4th round respectively. None were supposed to be the starter. Seattle just signed Matt Flynn since he was the flavor of the month due to one single game with GB the very last game of 2011. Only difference is Russell just won the job outright. Dak got the job because of 2 injuries. But that's irrelevant, though.

Russell's final regular season stats were 26TDs/10 INT and a 64% completion percentage. A passer rating of 100. He was sacked 33 times for a loss of 203yds. He also had 489yds rushing and 4 TDs. Yards/attempt 7.93.

With 3 games to go, Dak's stats are as follows:
20 TDs/4 INTs and a 66% completion percentage. A passer rating of 102.7. He has been sacked 21 times for 117yds. He has 218 rushing yds and 5TDs. Yards/attempt 7.95

They are about as similar as you can get for their rookie years. Now here are their 2 worst games of their respective rookie seasons. I am going by passer rating.

R Wilson (Game #7) @SF Niners (L 6-13) 9/23 122yds 0TDs/1 INT. 39% Sacked 2 times for 7 yards. Yards/attempt 5.30 Passer rating 38.7
(Game #4) @ Rams (L 13-19) 17/25 160yds 0TDS/3 INTs. 68% Sacked 2 times for 20 yards. Yards/attempt 6.40 Passer rating 45.8

Dak (Game #13) @Giants (L 7-10) 17/37 165yds 1TD/2INTs 46%. Sacked 3 times for 13 yards. Yards/attempt 4.46 Passer rating 45.4
(Game #1) vs Giants (L 19-20) 25/45 227 yds. 0TDS/0 INTs 56%. Sacked 0 times. Yards/attempt 5.04 Passer rating 69.4

Did Seattle panic and make a move? No. They stayed the course. Dak and Wilson are very similar their rookie years. Too many knee jerked over one poor game. But he's a damn rookie. Hell Peyton Manning as a seasoned vet has had putrid games in the playoffs. It happens. Too many people got a fogged brain and did not step away and realize what was happening. Dak still has a lot to learn but he's playing great this season. And one little off day and the pitchforks come out. Everyone just chill out.

The Seahawks had journeyman Matt Flynn backing up Wilson. We have a multiple Pro Bowl QB and NFL passing leader backing up Dak. Quite a difference right there.

Now I'm not saying we should go with Romo after one bad game, but I can somewhat understand the people that do.

[JeffInDC]

lol sad sad sad. not you OP. I think some fans want Dak to fail.

This. Matt James has not liked Dak since Day 1. Risen still has a man crush on Carson Wentz.

 

[maxdallasfan]

For what it's worth, Romo didn't exactly light the world on fire his last few starts.

His age has brought him down to mediocrity.

It's a young man's game, unless you're Brady.

And Wentz will be the greatest of all time.

 

[Clove]

Sure if he plays well sunday

Either or, this isn't the D-Line we're talking about.

 

[gimmesix]

I don't think the argument is whether Dak is having a rookie year as good as Wilson's or any other QB to ever play in the NFL. The argument isn't even whether Prescott is the long-term answer for this team.

What has to be decided ultimately is what quarterback gives us the better chance of winning a Super Bowl this year. Prescott can delay or possibly even end that discussion by playing well enough tomorrow to help the team beat Tampa. (If he plays great, there's no argument; if he plays poorly, the argument will be that the team won despite him.)

Making a comparison to Wilson isn't going to make this go away. Only Prescott can do that. He played well enough during the first part of the season for Romo to concede that he should continue starting. He's got to answer that bell again or Dallas needs to give Romo a chance to finish what Dak started.

 

[KJJ]

Can we all agree Dak is the future for the QB position?

Because it seems like some posters are ready to move on completely and aren't convinced he'll be a good QB.

One bad game and some are ready to jump ship. No fan base lives in the moment like this one. Last weeks bad game had such an affect on one fan he came up with a trade proposal involving Dak. lol

 

[cityochamps]

Dak and Zeke CO-Rookies of the year?

 

[black label]

Either or, this isn't the D-Line we're talking about.

If we loose and he looks good he still should start
If we loose and he looks like the last 8 quarters see ya

That's a nice pretty picture in YOUR MIND, but not in the minds of Jason Garrett and Jerry Jones.

 

[jblaze2004]

Romo = Matt Flynn?

What were RG3's numbers again? You know, the guy with the rookie record for passer rating.

rg3 and the skins also ran a gimmick offense. Alot of 5 yard passes, a whole bunch of fakes aka alot of smoke and mirrors. The nfl caught onto that.
