Dak runs the ball, on average, 4 times a game for under 4 yards per carry. His deficiency in the red zone (and actually all over the field) vs. a healthy Romo is not overcome by 14 yards per game on average.

IF Romo is not the same QB as 2014. Ok fine. We deserve it to this offense to find out given how much better a passer Tony is vs. Dak.

You're one of those who's still stuck in 2014 with Romo. That Romo has aged 2 years, has had two different back injuries, a couple of broken collarbones and has played in only 2 full regular season games since that season. He's missed 18 games since 2014. Dak has scored 4 rushing TD's which is something you don't get with Romo. We had redzone issues with Romo where have you been? Our offense ranks higher now than it did in 2014. It can be argued that Dak has looked as good as Romo during his first 7 games in 2014 if not better. Dak has thrown 5 TD's the past two games so the TD passes are coming. He won 3 straight games against solid opponents without Dez on the field, something Romo never had to deal with in 2014.

Romo's TD to turnover ratio in 2014 after the first 7 games was 14-6 and Dak's is 13-3. The QB sneak Dak converted in OT is a play we wouldn't have run with Romo. Dak has added a dimension to our offense we didn't have with Romo. Some of you can't wait to bench him just to go back to where we've been with Romo. If you were a Pats fan back in 2001 you would have been screaming to go back to Bledsoe. Romo may be a better passer but he turns the ball over and his game can come apart at any given moment. He would have never survived against Philly's pass rush. He would have taken 6-7 sacks and probably had at least 2 turnovers. The play he was injured on in preseason, Dak runs away and makes a play.

What have those great personal stats gotten the Cowboys??????
How many Super Bowls?
How many NFC championships?
How many second round playoff wins?

I recall lots of December picks when, afterward, Tony using the plural "we" as in "we have to do better," post game excuses, closed the season with lots of what-ifs.
And acolytes, like you, meekly nodded and blamed the forces of bad luck.

It is you who shows a naive, embarrassing perspective on continual failure, hoping that doing the same thing will somehow produce a better outcome.
I believe that type of futility is called insanity. Be glad we have a young and agile QB to take the mantle from an aged, brittle QB who "deserves" a 12th chance. Noooo, my brother. Your ignorance borders on astounding.

How about giving Dak a 1st chance.

We could not possibly do worse than Romo's cumulative 8-8 seasons, though you, evidently, prefer that.
Do not embarrass thyself, loyal son of the past....

Nobody is arguing the team, as a collective, has been good enough to win a Super Bowl, NFC Championship or second round playoff games. You look like a fool if you point any blame at Romo. It just makes you look like someone who doesn't actually watch football yet alone this team.

You should....stop?

You're just ranting and raving. If Romo is not 2014 Romo. So be it. We deserve it to ourselves to find out. 2014 Romo is an order of magnitude better than Dak.

If it was close...play the rook. But if Romo is healthy....it isn't even close.

Regardless of an ... Incoherent response...you are the past.

Let the hero worship take the backseat.

And let us move on, incoherent lad of the woods.
Heh.

I'm raving about a young QB who looks special. You want to find out during a 6 game winning streak if Romo can out perform what Dak has done this season??? lol He's not going to play as well as Dak with all the games he's missed and it's going to lead to turnovers. All you have to do to gage what Romo you're going to get is to go back to last season after Romo missed 7 games. He tossed 5 INT's in less than 2 games. I can't believe some want to mess with the chemistry this team has going to make a QB change when that's the last thing we need. We may have something special going and some fans want to ruin it by going back to a rusty, beat up QB who hasn't played a regular season game in a year.

If the Cowboys were to go back to Romo and this season ends up going no further than we have with him, there's going to be a lot of second guessing as to what could have been had Dak remained the starter. You and the rest who are ready to bench him better get used to him at QB because he won't be benched unless his game comes apart....book it! If we're going to win anything this season it will be with Dak at QB.

So, so telling.
Big fail, bloke.
The hipsters at Thames Cafe are goofawing over your learned sentiments.
Even they know of your foolish sentiments!
While you worship other gods on Sunday, I will hollah, as you yanks say, for Dak!!!
Sorry to overturn your world.
Move on. Let's win. With Dak.

When Romo is healthy yes I want to play him. Romo was also rushed back last season not healthy. But you knew that. And played one of the best defense of the last 5 years to boot. With a quick turnaround. But you knew that.

If Dak could not return and perform after giving Romo a start then he isn't who we thought he was.

This team must make noise. The NFC is weak this year and so you can't lose games you shouldn't.

If they get the 1 seed there can't be any losses to the wild card in the divisional again. No melting in December. No more of this.

Starter or not, this organization needs to do get this Time for romo.

Yet, old fellow, Romo would have loved to start a season at 6-1.
Your loyalty is to be commended. Your logic ... naaaah.

He's never going to be healthy with all the back issues he's had which is why he gave up golf and the team allows him to take off practices to rest. If he has to play he's not going to be sharp and will turn the ball over plus he can't avoid sacks. A big part of his game is extending plays and that will get him injured again. It would be FOOLISH to bench Dak as well as he and the team are playing just to see if Romo still has it. That's crazy! :laugh: We aren't playing Romo unless a QB change is NEEDED. Thank goodness some of you don't run this team.

Tony Romo's snap to throw average is 2.76 seconds. The exact same as Aaron Rodgers.

And that's a good reason to go back to him and bench Dak? lol Was that his average in 2014 or his last two regular-season games? By the way what have we won with Romo? I want to see where we can go with Dak.
