Time to put it to bed

[jnday]

If I can add his 1st 2 yrs he attempted no passes and his last year he attempted 4 . So in the 10 yrs he actually attempted passes he averaged almost 12 ints a season . But with Tony it was never how many it was when they happened that was the heart breaker

Later in his career, Romo quit throwing those untimely interceptions. He threw most of those when the talent level was low and he was trying to do too much to win games.

Young QBs slinging the ball around will turn the ball over at a high rate.

Romo sat for a few seasons, then had Parcells micro-manage his every pass for a season.
Then he was let free and became a gunslinger that produced great totals but often a nasty turnover.
Then he became more efficient and fairly deadly as a top 10 QB.
Unfortunately he also got seriously hurt to the point every sack every Cowboys fan groaned hoping he'd get up.
Pads around his ribs and back were bigger than his shoulder pads it seemed.


DAL currently has a QB in the start of his career. What would be Romo's 1st year playing at all.
He will mature a great deal in time.
As he does he'll surely lose some of his running and durability but gain mentally and with reads.

 

[Number1]

Dak has 5 ints and 5 lost fumbles this season total of 10 TOs Wentz has 9 TOs 6 int and 3 lost fumbles .

Goff also has 6 Ints with 4 lost fumbles #1 picks who would have thought Dak would be right there with them
Lets go to some Elite big money guys Rodgers has 5 lost fumbles , Wilson has 5 Ints and 5 lost fumbles Cousins has 7 Ints and 5 lost fumbles , Ryan has 5 INts and 5 lost fumbles, Luck has 11 Ints and 3 lost fumbles

The GOAT TOM BRADY has 7 ints and 4 lost fumbles How could that be more TOs than Dak??

Best yet Romo had 32 fumbles in his 1st 3 yrs and Dak only has 24.

Yes Dak absolutely has to clean this fumbling up but he is not turning the ball over by fumble or INT anymore than the top draft picks of his class or the most elite QBs in the league so the exaggerations can stop now

Dak has a target on his back - he's QB of the Dallas Cowboys -- and very unconventional

consider the #s Blackrain posted above and keep in mind Dak has been sacked 45x, and yes he wandered into some

the historic thing that happened last Thursday was a defensive statement, but Dak took 7 sacks and won, (that's probably very rare) and almost wiped them out, Dak was 24 of 28 and was 2 misses from a blow out

whatever else can be said of Dak, he's a pretty tough kid and we are talking football - tough matters - maybe more than anything else

 

[keysersoze]

well, to be fair, they all have dynamic offenses that try to win so int's will come with taking chances; Dallas plays vanilla on offense for the most part and tries not to lose

This is stupid. How do you think Dak’s turnovers occur? Because he’s taking chances. Wouldn’t have many fumbles or interceptions by handing it off or dumping it off short all the time.

 

[Diehardblues]

FYI...

Before this Saint game and turnaround 3 game winning streak leading up to it, Dak had 10 multiple turnover games in last 2 seasons which led the NFL.

 

[Diehardblues]

Dak is a winner. A Gamer. But he lacks some profenciency in his downfield passing abilities. His pocket presence needs work staying in there too long.

With his mobility he could be extending the play more outside the pocket. 5 or more sacks a game is too many with his size, strength and agility. And as Troy mentioned he must secure the ball.

 

[Vandyr]

Here's the spin. Dak could lead this team to a Super Bowl win and the hate will continue.

Let's revisit that when he does.

 

[Vandyr]

I'm confused. Shouldn't all Cowboy fans want Dak to succeed? This constant bashing is silly. He's the quarterback for my team and I want him to succeed. It''s the same thing as when people were hating on Tony Romo. Roger Staubach and Troy Aikman are not walking through the door next week, so I going to keep pulling for Dak. This is his third year and he's still learning.

We want the Cowboys to succeed. If the third year QB isn't really improving, then what you should want for the team is a QB that can do what he isn't. I have to ask you why you're so dead set on keeping dead weight under center, if you're a Cowboys fan?

I honestly can't remember the last time I saw people defend a mediocre player so vehemently. It's not about a player, it's about the team. The fans want the team to win super bowls, that's the end game here. As it is, the team is barely scraping by year to year - there's myriad problems, and the quarterback is one of them.

Great post Tough Dose Matter , Talent without availability is useless

Agreed he matured and at the end did everything in his power to win . Dez not securing the ball and Murrays fumble ruined his chance before his body really gave up on him . Tonys game improved every year and we were patient while he matured .

I realize Dak plays a completely different style game and has a different skill set that many fans are not used to . But it would be fair if we gave him a chance to mature like we did Tony

 

[Blackrain]

Not very much. It also went for a lot of TDs. Romp also passed the ball down the field successfully on a regular basis and with accuracy. Dak has never done that going back to his freshman year of college.

Different Skill set Dak has rushed for more TDs and yrds in 3 yrs than Romo did in his career.

Funny thing about that GB game is he played it the same way people hate Dak plays...dink and dunk, taking bad sacks, and fumbled the ball on a 3rd down stalling drives. Yet, it is thought to be a great game because the stats say so.

I don’t have a problem with the game because stuff happens, but if we are going to hold that stuff agianst Dak then turnabout is fair play.

Dak has 5 ints and 5 lost fumbles this season total of 10 TOs Wentz has 9 TOs 6 int and 3 lost fumbles .

Goff also has 6 Ints with 4 lost fumbles #1 picks who would have thought Dak would be right there with them
Lets go to some Elite big money guys Rodgers has 5 lost fumbles , Wilson has 5 Ints and 5 lost fumbles Cousins has 7 Ints and 5 lost fumbles , Ryan has 5 INts and 5 lost fumbles, Luck has 11 Ints and 3 lost fumbles

The GOAT TOM BRADY has 7 ints and 4 lost fumbles How could that be more TOs than Dak??

Best yet Romo had 32 fumbles in his 1st 3 yrs and Dak only has 24.

Yes Dak absolutely has to clean this fumbling up but he is not turning the ball over by fumble or INT anymore than the top draft picks of his class or the most elite QBs in the league so the exaggerations can stop now

And how does Dak stack up to those guys when it comes to tossing TDs! Thats where people have a real problem.

I agree.

Look..

We all knew Romo had to be replaced.

None of us knew Romo's injury was coming.

DAK has taken responsibility and moved us forward from a situation that could have been fatal.

What I enjoy about him is his leadership.

This team plays for and with him.

That's all I need to know.

Let the 'experts' collect their clicks and YouTube clicks.

DAK is going to make all the negative vibes go away.

Yeah, Kevin Durant and Steph Curry have more missed three points and turnovers than Lonzo Ball. Ok that was the bad stuff now lets name the good categories that Lonzo is better than them in.......................crickets........crickets.

 

[birdwells1]

This could be another myth.
Fans mostly look at their own team. Then compare to what they are not aware of.

Are these teams really all that different. It may seem so, but are they really. Just because a few teams try it now and then, does not mean they do it all the time, nor as often as we think.
Could Garrett and company be more aggressive, yes. But it is not that they do not have trust in their QB.

They've only throw deep middle a couple of times this year.....yea they don't trust the quarterback.

He is consistently winning, be careful what you ask for. The team has been scraping by year to year because of poor coaching. I don't understand how the QB get called out only in year 3 but the coach of 10 years gets a pass. If not for Kris Richard and this new attitude on defense this a average team. Call the shots right.

He only gets a pass from certain people on this board, most are in agreement that Garrett is a terrible coach. And I do agree to a point about Dak, some of his issues could be solved by better coaching, but some of his issues have been present since college, which more than likely means they're ingrained and aren't going away, such as his poor pocket awareness, bad footwork, and his inability to anticipate receivers.

Having said that, if Dak were to light it up under a new HC/OC/QBC here or somewhere else, I'd be the first to admit I was wrong. But I've seen enough of the deer in the headlights look from him to have my doubts.
