Terrance Williams preferred Romo over Dak

[tyke1doe]

One thing that has never been verified but I suspected was I really believe the Joneses liked Romo a lot and his health came first.

I said at the time, I hope they do not let him compete. He'd lost that advantage of avoiding tacklers and I thought it was a when not if on another injury. I was really tired of seeing him on the turf. He would, admirably, sacrifice his body to make a play but that eventually caught up to him.

They let him in on that last game out of respect but if he'd taken a really hard hit, he would have been out of there.

Fans fail to remember that Romo was shot. Yeah, maybe he could have gutted it out in the 2016 playoffs. But his health was a huge concern.

I'm not a math genius but I've gotta tell you the memories of some of y'all and selective memories of the Super bowls are blinding you to facts yes Roger and Troy were part of Super Bowl teams and yes they had a great career but in no way shape or form were they perfect at their position if you look at their touchdown interception ratios and I know some of you trying to tell me that Tom Landry and Jimmy Johnson would not put up with turnovers and yet they threw more turnovers then Prescott or Romo and please don't bring that stupid debate in about that era to me those interceptions I mean 19 interceptions by your boy Roger and 17 by Troy that's a lot they barely had more touchdowns to offset their turnovers.

So Tony Romo had to work against the incompetent coaching (confirmed also by Brice Butler also few years back), but Dak has a great offensive mind in Kellen Moore, whose style of coaching is to exploit mis-matches, which is confirmed by pretty much every publication out there that breaks down his style of play-calling?

So just checking in to see if, TWill is an idiot like Kurt Warner was supposedly an idiot and doesn’t know what he was talking about when he said Dak is making throws he never should have made?

Post #103, for one. Whether it's directly said to a specific person, or said as a blanket statement bracketing those whose opinions prompted the response, it's name-calling.

Ohhhhhh I see.

Let me tell you.....T-Will was a idiot long before these comments actually these comments don't make him a idiot at all lol. I shouldn't say that. He probably has his life together now but yeah he's made some poor mistakes in his past that would make you question his intellect. Its funny I seem to remember you disrespecting T-Will when he played with Romo......

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

Have you dug the hole up yet?
You know the one you're gonna be posting from the new Dak excuses come Sept?
Dig faster Sept. is just around the corner.....

Dak doesn't need excuses. His play speak for itself.

Not really. Most of that roster was young and their vibe was with Dak, particularly Zeke who never played with Romo. But reports in practice was Romo was doing his thing and he didn’t need Zeke to score against the Eagles, while Dak was flailing around like a chicken with his head cut off. In the game, all you have to do is look at how the Eagles changed their defense as soon as Romo stepped on the field.

The general trend of reports were basically that Dallas didn’t want to upset the run, but it was a stupid decision. In the end, it ultimately boiled down to Dak being cheaper. If Romo was actually around in 2017, the way Dak played, there would have been plenty of pressure for the FO to play Romo, Dak was that awful.

You don’t remember anything. You just flop around with your opinions all the time to save face in advance. Last you were saying, “nobody ever said Moore wasn’t good here, he just maximized what he could do here…” we know why…

Naw I do remember you saying it. You sure as hell wasn't hyping up T-Will to be a genius or a great football player. He was one of the names in the past you would use to say Romo didn't have a good supporting cast...is that correct or no?

And yes, I did say Moore wasn't bad here he just did all he could do here. Where's the lie? Why do you think he went to the Chargers and not a team with richer history? Because he knows he has something to prove himself so he can get a head coaching job. He was never going to get it until he could show it. Thought this was common sense.

 

[khiladi]

TWill was just another scape-goat for the “”legend” that is Dak. TWill was drafted as a big-play WR that caught the ball outside the numbers. Romo used him like he was supposed to use him. He was never a number 1, but he did his job well with a QB that used him according to his skill set.

Dak simply can’t play with WRs like that.

Too bad Romo never had a guy like Amari to play with, meaning one of the best route runners with ridiculous speed to work with. That would have been fun to see.

No you don’t.. and your whole schtick for Dak has been the coaching, including Moore, and Moore being part of “the Garrett tree” as a lack of Dak’s success. And I’ve told you Dak fanboys so many times Garrett and Moore are completely different, even though they are from the Coryell tree. And TWill once again confirms Khiladi is right.

I came to the same conclusion even though for years I personally would have started Romo when he was ready in 2016. It was that Vikings game when Dak got exposed for just how much he was being protected/limited by design. And even that one Romo series against the Eagles, you could see just how superior Romo was at throwing the ball. But I agree Romo was one bad hit away from retirement. Broke my heart because Dak never had that kind of throwing talent.

 

[khiladi]

This is like the Dan Orlovsky “sucked at QB” thread all over again when he pointed out Dak missed wide open WRs against SF, but this time with TWill…

Problem with the argument is, if Romo did get injured, you just insert the back-up, which Dak was drafted for anyways, once again. You always play the far superior player, you don’t play based upon “future possibility” of injury.

Peyton Manning had a fused vertebrae and his arm strength was massively deteriorating, but Denver rode with him, because he wasn’t going to blow the game for them and he was going to do enough, while the defense did the real work.

 

[khiladi]

I will confirm that TWill is an “idiot”, like Dak driving intoxicated, “refusing to apologize”, running around with Zeke and other dudes in Florida throwing rubber “organs” at folks, takes 1 week to throw a TD in trying camp on year 3, throwing his WRs and TEs under the bus in the “Dak friendly offense”, not locking up his pit bulls that bit neighbors, throwing parties during COVID lockdown, in 2019 calling out his own offensive struggles as the fault of others players not practicing hard, saying that he welcomes the looks Denver was showing only to continue to such, leading the league in INTs playing only 11 games is an “idiot”..

 

[khiladi]

I still believe the good QBs, or veteran QBs can call their own plays. It's better that they don't, because they take enough heat now as it is. Dak is the one out there playing, you can't tell me he couldn't call his own plays.

I could be wrong, but didn't Dak change up that one play against the Eagles back in 2018? That TD pass to Cooper. He's been here for 7 years now. He's going to know if crap is coming in from the sidelines.

Amari kept yelling at him to change it, begging multiple times, as Dak had no idea the DBs were sitting on their routes with no safety help over the top.

 

[khiladi]

Yes, there was quite a difference between Romo near the end of his career and Romo when he first became a starter. He was a good QB when he took over the team, but going back and watching those days compared to 2014, it's easy to see the difference.

Romo of 2014 might have been enough in 2007 to help the team overcome the Giants. It wasn't his fault that they lost, but he could have been the reason they won.

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.

 

[5Stars]

Dak doesn't need excuses. His play speak for itself.

It sure as hell does, that is for sure!

 

[erod]

Of course he did.

Romo made stars out of average receivers. Miles Austin, Laurent Robinson, Patrick Crayton, Sam Hurd, Terrance Williams, and even Dez Bryant to an extent....

He got those guys paid well beyond their actual ability. They disappeared when they left or after Romo retired.

 

[erod]

Terrence Williams? Please.

He was really good with Romo. He disappeared when Dak showed up. So did Dez.
