Terrance Williams preferred Romo over Dak

[TheMarathonContinues]

He was effective here, especially the last couple of years. He showed great promise with Romo and got paid WAY above his pedigree.

Same for other guys. That's the point.

Please with the stats. There's only one football and he wasn't the lead dog here by any means. Chicago thought he could be for them because of what Romo did with him in limited chances.

How do not understand this?

No don't do this. Own up to you made a mistake and maybe even spoke in hyperbole. You guys do this and want to die on that hill. The fact is these guys were NEVER stars. You said Romo made average guys into stars. They were NEVER stars. You then said they got paid handsomely and I will give you that Laurent Robinson did get paid very well leaving here. But he was never a "star" lol. Just own it. You made a mistake. Because you are wrong here and I proved you were wrong so safe the "You aren't very good at this" comments for yourself because they fit you more than they fit anyone on this site.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

On my gawd. You're like debating football with my mom. You don't have the cerebral capacity to have this discussion.

Then you continue to insult me....and your mom as well. Insane lol. If you don't have respect for your own mother that birthed you then I can't expect for you to have the same with me. It is what it is. You're just going to sling insults and not own up to being wrong and that's ok. I know how stubborn some of you are here.

 

[bigE79]

OK dont kill the messenger...

This should be fun...

He ain't wrong,same thing dez and beaz and cooper said.

 

[TrailBlazer]

My favorite part was when TWill said "if we're going to lose, we're going to lose his way". Talking about Romo. That was great.

You proved nothing, and everything I said was accurate. You have no ability to understand a point, and I'm wasting bandwidth with you.

Easier to just to block with thy others, so I will.

Its for the best. Please block me.

"Romo made average guys into stars"

What stars?

Romo got them paid handsomely.....where?

Can't prove it. Block. Thank goodness.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

Blocked.

Disagreeing with me is one thing...insulting me and your mother is CRAZY business that I want no part of. I think a blocking is what's best honestly.

My favorite part was when TWill said "if we're going to lose, we're going to lose his way". Talking about Romo. That was great.

And I think that's ultimately what hurt Romo. Not sure if it was the personnel or what but I think there's so pro's and cons to playing like that. On one hand it does make it tougher for the defense to know what you want. But ultimately the problem is still there. The playbook is the same. Outdated and old. When teams would say they knew what we would do it wasn't a lie. They did. And Romo made up for it as much as someone of his caliber could and it worked at times and it didn't. If he had a Andy Reid guy as his playcaller he probably would've been more consistent especially when the playoffs came around.

 

[PAPPYDOG]

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

Finally, a statement that makes sense and is true.........hey look its another Dak turnover.

 

[PA Cowboy Fan]

The legend of Romo continues to grow. He was no more successful than Dak has been. Guess it's better than comparing them to HOF QBs though.

 

[erod]

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.

Amari HATED playing with Dak. He was so frustrated at his sophomoric understanding of the game.

He was infinitely more successful than Dak. He carried the team most of the way. Dak gets carried by the team.

roger
td 153-109 ints Playoffs 24td 19INTs(umm none of those critical LMAO) UMM OK

Troy-
165-141 playoffs 23tds-17 INts(right none critical huh?) no way jimmy would have put up with that

Dwhite
155-132 playoffs 15-17 WOW no way TL puts up with mistakes at critical time LOL

Romo
248-117 playoffs 8 tds 2 INts show me the critical INts hmm his td-int ratio is much better

Dak
166-65 playoffs 11-5ints

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.

Completely. Different. Leagues.

Guys like Roger, Montana, Tarkenton, Fouts, Marino, and others would absolutely torch this league with these soft rules.

 

[PA Cowboy Fan]

He was infinitely more successful than Dak. He carried the team most of the way. Dak gets carried by the team.

In the end no. As much as people like to pretend that Romo was something special he was not. But if the rest of the country speaks of Romo like some here I'm sure the HOF will come calling. lol

 

[StylisticS]

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.

Facts and in 2007, I want to say it was Philadelphia but I actually think it was Detroit that opened the eyes of everybody that was in the NFC at least. Dallas had to come back in that game but the NFC had started to catch on to what Garrett was doing. His offense was figured out at the worst possible time and they didn't adjust. Dallas only scored 6 points in that game vs Philly and I thought we were going to sweep them. Dallas struggled to score the rest of the year. I knew there that I had major concerns with Garrett.

 

[DFWJC]

You're bad at this. They didn't light the world on fire WITH Romo lol.

Crayton left here and went to San Diego and was on pace to have the best year of his career in 2010...He averaged 18.4 a catch which is the highest of his career lol. Had 514 Yards and 28 catches in only 9 games lol.

Crayton got TRADED so he didn't get paid big money when he left here.

Sam Hurd got a 3 Year 4 million dollar deal from the Bears.
Laurent Robinson did sign a 32.5 million dollar deal at the time which was a big deal at the time though not sure why he got so much when he coudln't evne get 1k yards but he did.

Miles Austin signed a 1 year, $2,000,000 contract with the Cleveland Browns


So no...these guys were NEVER stars and no one paid them to be stars when leaving here. You guys hang your hat on Laurent Robinson as proof Romo made guys better lol. And then you go to the extent of LYING and saying they got paid big money leaving here when they didnt' aside from Robinson.

I agree. None were "stars"
They were so-so or jag players that had better success playing with Romo (and in Crayton's case, also prime Rivers)

 

[Hadenough]

I mean it doesn’t take Terrence Williams to tell us how poor it was ran we saw it with our own eyes and to be honest our eyes are more credible then Terrence Williams lol.

Yeah we knew it but it was much worse than I thought.

 

[Catpappy]

Romo was better than Dak and in this new don’t touch the quarterback league he could have got it done. I just remember him killing drives with stupid interceptions. He had the brains and arm talent and could move around in the pocket. Dak’s not a pocket or running quarterback. He would make a great backup and will be before he ever sees a superbowl.

 

[TheCritic]

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.

The Cowboys did NOT start the superior QB in the second half of the 2016 season. They went with the "we're on a win season so don't screw it up" philosophy. Also it would be fair to argue that back in 2016, nobody knew what Dak's long-term potential was going to be. And as long as the Cowboys were winning, it was fair to roll with Dak and see what he could do.

Of course later on it was clearly evident that Dak can't hold a handle to Romo's throwing talent. But Romo of course retired, so it is a moot point.
