Tony vs Danny

[MWH1967]

What is the true differences?


1. Tony 6'2" 230lbs

2. Danny 6'2" 199lbs

3. Tony 12 years 2003 to present.

4.Danny 1976 to 1989 (12 years)

5. Tony 29,565 yards passing

6. Danny 21,959 yards passing

7. Tony 208 to 101.... TD to int (Even though he is mister turn over)

8. Danny 155 to 132 TD to int

9. Tony 95.8 Passer rating all time

10. Danny 81.7 rating all time

Argue size ,verses running league then verses Passer league now verses no championships equals...are these two the same person a generation apart?

I will say,,i think Tony has what it takes "If" he has parts around him...I hope old boy gets a shot , at 34 he better get after it.

i hated the Danny white years...i was spoiled early on. Roger...White.....Troy....Tony.......Will tony break the cycle or will it take new blood?

I know.....Booooooooo!

 

[Zordon]

Not much difference imo. Tony is closer to Danny White than Aikman.

 

[CowboyDan]

Tony was on a team with 11 pro bowlers.

 

[Tabascocat]

Danny didn't have a fondness of wearing his cap backwards and he wasn't fat either

 

[CowboyDan]

Tony was on a team with 11 pro bowlers.

Correction.............13 Pro Bowlers

 

[Staubacher]

Tony - Coached by Garrett during peak years of career

Danny - Coached by Tom Landry entire career

Any comparison between ANY Cowboys current player and one from that era starts and stops there IMO.

So you are saying the Danny White teams weren't loaded with talent?

We all know those 13 Pro Bowlers were a joke.

Interesting point. Wonder how ol' Tom would've handled Tony.

Yeah, a joke. That 13-3 team was horrible.

Danny of course, it takes more than a defense to take you to multiple nfc championships. Danny did his part and played well within his scheme. Romo could do better if he didn't feel like him and Witten had to be the show. I love that old Romo 2006 and 2007.

That a 2.08 ratio.

Danny 155 to 132 TD to int
That's a 1.17 ratio.

Throwing INTs was the biggest problem with Danny White. Romo is 2x better than White in the TD to INT ratio.

 

[Machete]

I have been told from an older Cowboys fan who has seen both QBs at their best and worst, that White was great as long as the play did NOT break down, no improvisational skills. I should also say, that the same person is NOT a Romo fan.

 

[CowboyDan]

As far as style of play, Romo is more Staubach than White.

 

[DallasEast]

What is the true differences?

One retired from the NFL over a quarter century ago. The other is still hanging. PEACE!

 

[Doomsday101]

Danny also did not have the influx of players there was no FA, Dallas still had a quality defense as well as offense. Comparing wins and loses without comparing the overall product is usless. When QB start blocking for themselfs, catching their own passes, playing defense then maybe you can look at the win/loss until then it takes others to win games.

 

[Tommy]

Interesting point. Wonder how ol' Tom would've handled Tony.

He would have benched him for Gary Hogeboom.

 

[Seven]

Geez. Where does Romo hide that 230 lbs?

 

[cowboyblue22]

neither qb could win a championship one came close the other one well he don't have long to find out

 

[CowboyDan]

nonsense! he would've alternated him with Drew Bledsoe every other play. Or perhaps only put Drew in when the 4th qtr started.

Thing is I don't recall Danny covering Dwight Clark on the catch? We had the lead and they allowed SF to march 90 yards down field and put up the TD and I can't recall Danny on any of those plays
