quit making stuff up, tony didnt have issues with fumbles or INT's...unless you want to say the other top 10 all time QBs have issues with fumbles and INT's...if thats the case, then being great is just average and there are no greats.

I'm not making up a damn thing Romo had 65 fumbles and yes he had some bad ints that cost us games. I'm sure all your memories are found one and blank out the bad. I loved having him as the QB and wished things would have turned out different but this non sense of acting as if Romo was perfect and it was everyone else is just stupid and wrong. We won nothing and our playoff success was minimal.

I find it weird that they consistently bring up the two missed bombs to Gallup, but then give all the credit for the two Cooper bombs he connected to Amari. It makes no sense at all. AND the TD pass to cooper was 28 yards, but in the deep part of the endzone.

He connected on two and missed two, the average comp % for throws 30+ yards in the league is around 28%. How the hell can they be so naive?

Fans develop a perception from watching ESPN and YOUTUBE highlights. If they would bother to watch games they'd see ALL QB's miss receivers. Some just won't let go of the previous QB as they have painted a mental picture that he never missed a wide open receiver when in fact he averaged the same.

Tony: 1 fumble per 66.69 drop backs
Brady: 1 fumble per 78.66 drop backs
Elway: 1 fumble per 52.92 drop backs
Brees: 1 fumble per 91.59 drop backs
E. Manning: 1 fumble per 65.45 drop backs
Ben: 1 fumble per 72.96 drop backs

I'm failing to see Tony's fumbling problem?

that's partially true....all QBs including the GOAT Brady misses and throws interceptions, etc. the question is how often do they miss as opposed to make plays. Good and great QBs make more plays than they miss. they are not 50/50. seemingly Dak is average for 3/4 of the game and when game is on the line the light goes on in his head..... a lot of the games we shouldn't even be in that position at the end of the game. Philly game was a great example..... that game should have been long decided prior to the 4th quarter.

Really? You mean no QB plays the season with a 100% completion rate?????

I love how the defenders of Dak will point out that all QB's miss receivers, but fail to point out that the elite QB's don't miss receivers as much as Dak does.
They point out how all QB's dink and dunk, but fail to point out most don't do it as much as Dak.

All you have to do is watch the games and you can even look at the stats and they all reveal Dak is in the middle of the pack, average, mediocre.

Dude needs to take less sacks, scramble more when the pass isn't there, throw better to everyone not named Cooper and fumble less.

You are asking him to run pretty much on every snap, you know his first read is to the running back.

I saw this posted on another site and laughed, some guys can put up stats, but shrink under the bright lights. Not really Dak related, just a reminder that things could always be worse.

Not a Dak defender just an unbiased view. I love how people base opinions on the "eyeball" test. It is your perception that Dak dinks and dunks more than others, misses wide open receivers more than others. I'm happy with the way he is progressing , time will tell.

We can win a lot of games with a bus driver with this team, I think some of us are hung up on making Dak an all pro QB, he is a journeyman with a great surrounding cast in this offense. If we scheme to his strengths with the offense he can be pro bowl talent. Not every player is Zack Martin, LVE, Zeke, Amari, Tyron, Frederick, Byron Jones, we have lots of heroes we just need to make sure we do not keep the ball away from them with pedestrian play in a scheme that is not natural to our most important position QB.
So are you saying those other players are All Pros?

I guess we ignore what we see and ignore stats.

Dak almost cost the Cowboys the last 2 games. Neither game should have been even close and he was the reason they were close.

He will ... I repeat. HE will cost the Cowboys games down the line. You can only go to the well for so long before it catches up with you.

I'm sure someone will say all QB's fumble, but only Dak leads the lead in QB fumbles with 12.

5 wins

136 of 181 for 75% completion percentage at 8.1 ypc for 1471 yards at 294.2 yards per game average.

7 Passing Tds and 2 ints.

3 rushing Tds.

106.8 rating.

3 Game Winning Drives.

Sacked 20 times.



Bring your Average, Bus Driver and Tebow comments....and look silly.
QBR for the last 5 games is 59.9 which means that all other things being equal Dak's play alone will win games 60% of the time. Over a 16 game season that's 9.5 games. 16 QBs would win at a higher rate than Dak based on their season QBR, and not just a hot 5 game winning streak.

Rules are different than they once were and passing is easier than it every has been before. You throw up what looks like gaudy stats and yet 16 other QBs are playing better over the whole season than Dak has played since getting Cooper.

Everyone should be able to see that Dak is wildly inconsistent and benefits tremendously from a top 3 defense and the leading rusher in the NFL despite defenses loading the box. He has also fumbled the ball 5 times in the last 5 games.

Colin Herd summed up Dak very well -- Off the chart intangibles with average QB skills who needs a lot of help.

Back in the day, Tony made star WR's out of terrible receivers....now we got such a junky qb, we gotta get big time WR's just to cover up for him
other than Cooper, who?

I'm a big Romo fan, but he didn't exactly make TO or Dez or Witten. Romo never played with Jarwin, Schultz or Gathers as TE. Actually Romo never played a game in his life without a pro bowl level WR or TE.

His qbr is destroyed by the fumbles mostly.

Cowherd is an idiot and his take is completely false. He is anything but average. Yes...his numbers suffered most of the season because he had NO weapobs in the passing game. No qb an excell in that environment, i don't care who there running back is.

This is our offensive philosophy built around the running game. Whether we had Zeke or another good running back, that isn't changing.

Just 6 months ago Cowberd was singing Dak's praises...now...showing what he can do with an actual weapon he has made better than he has ever been...it is Dak is average and needs help....lol

Every qb needs help. Every single one of them.

And when he was making these no names better...he wasn't doing it in his third year. That level of mastery is yet to come but he is making strides rapidly to that level, imo.

Same goes for a guy like Goff...not close to what he will be in year 5 and 6..
