Terrance Williams preferred Romo over Dak

A bunch of posters are still talking about 1995.

I still talk about 1975. I went to see Jaws at the movies. Scared the crap out of me - especially when the severed head popped out of the boat hull.

Great moment.

This one

Fair enough. How highly do you think of Nolan Carroll, Rodney McCleod and Jordan Hicks?

Not too highly of Carroll, but McCleod and Hicks were both good players. McCleod was a starter on their Superbowl team the following year, and Hicks was as well until he got hurt and had to go on IR. Not sure why it matters when Dak struggled with the same team.

We are actually sitting here, caring what a failed player who is now playing in Mexico says about the QB situation.

I don't really have a preference between either. They have both been failures as far as I am concerned. And yes, I am an incredibly spoiled.

I just do not understand the "debate".

If Prescott does exactly what Romo did, why should we care who was better?

 

[PAPPYDOG]

I assume it means the same for the Dak fans. DakSexuals?

I guess when it pertains to Dak they have that sexual feeling about him and figure if you thought Romo was a better QB than Dak you also have that special feeling......
They are wrong.......
P.S. You know there walls are filled with Dak shirtless photos...... right????

Dak sucked so that made them great players? This is stooping low as hell lol. Romo showed throughout his career he was a good player no reason to boost up what he did against a bad team.

People reach for anything to prove Romo was better than Dak. They don’t care who sends the message.

In an alternate universe, we’d be on 6 or 7 by now.

Praise for both players. I would probably like the guy better too that was there when my career was acending vs decending. Had he not had the strange car incident I feel like he would have been around a little longer.

He also got paid and for some that sometimes mean taking your foot off the gas. Maybe he should have done that with his vehicle.

That offense was already figured out, and the claim was it was the high-ankle sprain of TO that caused it. Against the Commanders, they kept Romo in a half to try and get the record but couldn’t, right before the play-offs.

The reality is and has always been, Jason Garrett was the crutch. For years, there were signs but Valley Ranch’s pet project was throwing everybody under the bus but him.

Romo had nobody to guide him during those years.

I’ve said it multiple times, Jason Garrett was arguably the worst decisions this franchise ever made as it set them back years and wasted so much potential talent.

I don't disagree with that. Both Romo and Dak had Garrett to overcome. I think his value as a coordinator was shown when he went to New York and no longer had Romo or Dak at QB.

Over his two years with the Giants, New York was 28th in yards per play, 30th in points per game, 31st in yards per game and 31st in third-down percentage. Last year after he was fired, they were 15th in PPG and 18th in YPG. That's very telling.

It could also have something to do with the defenses played against in a given year.

That definitely is another factor. I think of Amari with this one. Some fans would get mad at him for "disappearing" during some games. I think a big part of that was Cooper was playing through some injuries that affected his speed. He could still beat good corners when he was doing that, but not great ones. His play reflected both the injuries and who he was up against. Multiple factors.

Winning is a big part of the quarterback which is why Dak was great against the Buccs and we win and why he as bad against the 49ers and we lost.

You guys want to protect the QB and that’s great but it’s not realistic. You can’t hide a QB. Many have tried and many have failed. At some point your quarterback has to play at a high level and one thing Romo showed us throughout his career is when the playoffs came you maybe can hope for a good to below good performance.

We can talk our flaws and all but the Cowboys should not have most to the Giants in 2007 and they shouldn’t have lost to the Packers in 2014.

Winning is a team effort. Do you know how many Super Bowls we would have won with Roger Staubach if the defense or running game had not bailed him out at times? None. Go back and watch the games. There were playoff games each year where Staubach was struggling. The defense or running game would keep us in it then Staubach would make a play. If the defense had been bad, the opportunity to make that play would not have been there. It was called Doomsday for a reason.

Team play gives a QB a chance to overcome his struggles. When the defense can't hold up, like in that 2014 loss to the Packers, then it's not the QB's fault if a perfect fourth-down pass to a receiver is called incomplete instead of at least being first-and-goal.

If you truly believe you can't hide a quarterback, then explain Trent Dilfer having a ring or Jeff Hostetler or Brad Johnson. Do you truly believe Eli Manning would have two rings if the Giants' defense and running game had not stepped up?

The high ankle sprain really hurt us. Limited our best receiver to where we had to rely on Patrick Crayton more than we needed to. I'm not down on Crayton about that as much as some. He was a third receiver who did the best he could to shoulder more of the load.

To be honest, this is one of the best true perspectives on why Romo was better. Dak is good. And he certainly is not stupid. Nor is a bad leader, nor is he football stupid.

From a WR who wasn't anything special, saying Romo could get the most out of his team anyway.

In fact, it's quite the opposite. Dak Prescott is good, no doubt. But I'll always know deep down Romo was a smidgen better all things considered.

No matter what stats people show me. They played in different eras.

Trent and Brad had two of the best defenses of all time that they could lean on. It also represents 20 plus years ago. In 2023 you can’t have a guy like Rex Grossman get to a SB.

And Eli never had great defenses. He has great defensive lines but Eli still made some
Big time throws. He was not hid at all.

I think they are different quarterbacks with different approaches. Romo could see a play would fail and would escape the game plan and play call. I think Dak is the opposite. He’s going to follow the game plan and die by it. I think there’s good things about both ways. If I like my offense and OC I want a guy like Dak. If I want someone to turn crap into sugar I’d lean towards a guy like Romo.

 

[darthseinfeld]

He did what they asked him to do and he did it well.

Not particularly. That isnt very productive for a #2 WR. Even with Bryant and Witten. He got locked down 1 on 1 with #2 or #3 CB's far too often

Hate when you simply post at all. We’d like to for one see you post without leaning on a schtick.

Oh, no!
