SAS and Skip chime in on Dak vs Tony

[theebs]

I agree with Sharpe. Said so already. If Dallas wins in GB, hes the guy.

I would play Romo because I think he is one of the better players in the entire league.

having said that I don't get these pretend tests people keep creating to see if he can pass. I think Dak has already proven he is a starting quarterback, all these talking points about beating GB or Cincy or not throwing an interception mean nothing to me. He has already showed he can handle every aspect of it. the only thing we have not seen is how do you handle the adversity of playing qb of this team during a losing streak. How does it go if Dak plays bad against baltimore and then again against washington on thanksgiving and all of a sudden you are in third place and in a slump and a losing streak. Then people who have been supporting him all of a sudden start to doubt him and call for Romo.

The only way to know that is to leave him as the starter. If Tony Romo is fully healthy and is doing everything in practice I am going to play him.

I think Dak has already proved enough. Played at home, on the road, divisional games, primetime games etc. He has earned the right to be the starter if the staff goes that direction. I also think Romo has earned the right to play also if he is healthy in practice.

His third SI cover and he has just begun.

The endorsement stream is going to be huge. I just hope he doesn't sign on with Chunky soup. That would hurt my heart. . Lol

The national media is literally obsessed with him. In tiny Starkville, MS there were reporters coming in from New York City wanting to see and meet Dak. I think he is the type of person/leader the NFL really needs. So glad he landed in such a good situation... The premier franchise in all of sports. You are right... He is incredibly marketable.

 

[LittleD]

Would?

Brain-lock Wouldn't...thanks

 

[CowboyRoy]

Dak lands SI cover.

"perfect fit for a franchise in transition"

Let the Romo apologists start crying...................3,2,1.................

 

[CowboyRoy]

Mind boggling is very truthful to describe the situation. Baffling is another way im looking at it. These folks have a very selfish, person above team mentality. Truly sad individuals.

Some people ONLY think of THIS week and waving their poms on Sunday. They rarely think of the future and sacrificing RIGHT now for the greater future. So until RIGHT now aligns with the future, they want nothing to do with it. Which by watching Dak now for 5 weeks, its becoming apparent to them that Dak my actually be giving us the better chance to win or similar RIGHT NOW.

 

[CowboyChris]

More clueless national analysis... all based on a sample size that the team obviously doesn't agree with based on their observations from camp in the offseason. Tony is not going to throw 28 interceptions in a run first offense, Shannon. And Dak isn't going to always have every game be a cakewalk with 200 rushing yards to carry him.

I do agree with Skip though. Whoever you go with, you go with. No leash.

you will be happy to know on Cowherd today.....he had on Eric Mangini (who i like alot) asked him the same question, and Mangini said he certainly understand the momentum thing....but agreed with Cowherd that you gotta play Romo when he is healthy. and then made the comment....If Garrapollo wouldve went 4-0 would they leave Brady on the bench? maybe not quite the same comparison cause of the injury factor...but interesting nonethless

How many Super Bowls has Brady won?

i get it, and i'm on the Dak side of the argument.....i thought SK would like to know that...he's for Romo "Big League"

Yeah comparing Tony Romo to Tom Brady is the equivalent of comparing Ryan Leaf to Peyton Manning. Not a good comparison at all. This isn't Romo in his prime either, this is a washed up shell of his former self... You know the one who has 2 playoff wins over 13 years.

Tony Dungy and Rodney Harrison said to stick with what is working. I trust their thoughts on the matter 10000x more than Cowherd.

 

[tyke1doe]

I like SAS and Max. But this idea they floated that Romo is satisfied just making millions (implying that he's not as focused on winning a championship) is ridiculous.

 

[tyke1doe]

SAS said the cowboys have been as good as they are now in 20 years. He evidently doesnt remember wearing a romo jersey on TV in 2014

I think it has more to do with the psychology of the team.
Yes, the Cowboys were good in 2014. But there's that feeling that SOMETHING is going to happen and the Cowboys - read, Tony Romo - would make a mistake somewhere or something is going to happen to cause a loss.

He doesn't get that feeling with Dak. And to be truthful, I don't either.

I can't put my finger on it (and this is not to say that Romo is not a better quarterback than Dak), but I don't have the feeling that Dak is going to do something that costs us the game. I sense that the team is really rallying around Dak and is feeding off his aura. They're poised. They're confident. They don't make many mistakes.

Again, nothing I can put my finger on, but it's that intangible quality Dak brings. Tony, for all his greatest, leaves you with this feeling, "It's coming, it's coming" and then you breathe a sigh of relief when that mistake doesn't come yet laugh when it does.

The psyche of this team is different with Dak. And I think that's what SAS is addressing.

 

[tyke1doe]

Well..........you can talk about it. That just isnt my style. This team has more to prove to me first. If we are like 8-1 then maybe. But I'm actually not going to harp on people saying at this point. It just goes to show how much you respect Dak, which you should.

And I saw earlier where you finally jumped of the old and brittle bandwagon and jumped on board the future is now train.

It's too early to be talking Super Bowl.

I'll see if I can find the clip. Nobody deserves more respect than Brady obviously, but Tony deserves more respect than he gets from beer gut fans who think he's one of the worst QBs in the league and leads the league in interceptions every year. Mangini was a coach in the league and most coaches hold Romo in high esteem.
I think with only 4 games off and Brady in good health there never could have been a controversy, but it makes you wonder if even Brady himself would be safe if he had received a 10 game suspension and Jimmy G. was still the league's leading passer and the Pats were rolling. Probably, but we also know that Belichick is ruthless...

 

[PA Cowboy Fan]

How many Super Bowls has Brady won?

And how many times has he been injured? Romo's been hurt the last 2 seasons.

You would make a good politician. Good points.

Grace is set aside for graceful people.

Grace is for ungraceful people.

Don't get me started preaching.

I believe I share that distinction with you. Build more seats. The wagon will slowly begin to fill.

Slowly?

I think the extra seating is closed to being filled.

SAS position is absolutely ridiculous, to say, "something is going to happen" also applies to the other 31 teams in the league.

Well, in another segment in that show he explains. And, sadly, he's right. Over the past 20 years, we've made decisions that leave people scratching their heads, whether on the field or off.

Even though this doesn't mean the same will happen in the future, Jerry has given his critics enough history over the past 20 years to believe that it will be so in the future.

SAS even points to the fact that Jerry is contemplating inserting Romo in the lineup when things are flowing so smoothly with Dak under center as another example.

We shall see.
