Start, Bench, Cut – Aikman, Romo, Dak

[TheMarathonContinues]

In the playoffs, Giants held the

Cowboys to 17 (ave 28.4)
Packers to 20 (ave 27.2)
Pats to 14 (ave 36.8)

They were rolling.

I do think Dallas should've beaten the Giants and just had too many screwups. I'll never think they were better than the Pats though.
I feel certain that prime 1994 Aikman or 2014 Romo would've led them to the win over NY.... especially if they sewed it up before that play with 17 seconds left (that was the same throw any version of QB would've made...perfect...but no dice)

All make-believe and speculation anyway, I guess.

Go Cowboys

I honestly don't remember what they did to the Packers and Pats. I've watched that Giants/Cowboys matchup numerous times including a few months and I can't give them credit for that one. That was all on our offense being sluggish and dropping passes. How much credit are you giving their defense for that Crayton dropped pass?

 

[CyberB0b]

why?

Better passer, more dynamic, does more with less.

Everything I stated was based on facts. Romo had better Defenses around him than Dak's had overall throughout their careers. 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012 were better Defenses for Romo than Dak had in 2021, 2020, 2019 and 2016. That's not including 2022 where the Cowboys Defense gave up an average of 27.5 points, still higher than most of Romo's Defenses.

The stats are there in the statmuse link I provided.

So, no, the stats I provided actually support what I said: Romo had better Defenses around him than Dak has had throughout most of their careers.

As for the rushing attack surrounding both Romo and Dak during their careers, the only year (between 2004 - 2021) the Cowboys had below 1,500 rushing yards was the 2012 season. The rest of the times, Cowboys QBs have been surrounded by 1,500+ rushing attacks (which should be good enough to keep opposing Defenses honest).

You're looking at the wrong stats, sir.

You're looking at offense.

One thing I enjoy about CowboysZone is how often members love to live life on the WILD side, lol.

 

[Pantone282C]

Whew…..I though this was gonna be a “Marry one, Kill one, Pork one” question.

LOL!

 

[Pantone282C]

Yeah because we all have to have the same opinion.....

Losing....con...t.r...o...l

 

[GMO415]

Anyone that isnt cutting Dak shouldnt be taken seriously

 

[GMO415]

I suspect Tony has 1-2 rings with Aikman's rosters, but I doubt he has all three.
I'm sure Aikman would not have a ring with Tony's teams, but who would.

I'd go with Aikman then Tony....jmo

Jimmy Johnson wouldn't even have Romo as his starting QB. He was a choker and his pedigree sucked.

Nice quiet thread for Monday ...

Me:
Start - Aikman
Bench - Romo
Cut - Dak

COWBOYS!

@Rockport they are making trouble again!!
Bring help and after tha we can destroy surviving video of Deek ending our season prematurely ---TWICE! --- against the 49ers.

 

[GimmeTheBall!]

Dak has played better then Romo ever did in the playoffs. Romo could only dream to play as well as Dak did against Tampa. Aikman start Dak bench and Romo cut.

Yet Deek is 2-4 in playoff games and Romo is 2-2.

Yeah, he did it all by himself. The other 52 and coaches had nothing to do with it.

When the other blokes get paid 40 mil a year to fail we can start blaming them as well. Here is another towel. Clean up.

 

[MaineBoy]

Ironic that a thread about nothing has gone for 9 pages and Seinfeld went for 9 seasons. Aikman, Romo, Dak. What else is there to say.

 

[CowboyRoy]

And you have less understanding than I do if you want to make that kind of a statement.

All your hollow claims with never anything to back it up. I have 4 years of proof with your zeke pollard train wreck to highlight your football knowledge.

and now your claiming we should dump dak? You have completely lost it.

 

[khiladi]

Anybody that doesn’t take Aikman is committing blasphemy.

Sthu....you don't know crap

You have a history of personal insults at the CZ.

I shall try to ignore you.

 

[ottawacowpoke]

While true....I think Aikman is just a better football player. I can't knock him because he played with HOF'ers.

Exactly. Nobody ever downgraded Joe Montana based on his coach or teammates. It’s quite asinine to see that very thing happening here with Aikman.

 

[CyberB0b]

Jimmy Johnson wouldn't even have Romo as his starting QB. He was a choker and his pedigree sucked.

He didn’t even want Aikman. He wanted Steve Walsh.

 

[baltcowboy]

Yet Deek is 2-4 in playoff games and Romo is 2-2.

Exactly. Dak has been in the playoffs much more then Romo.
