Calm your *** down. I know wins and losses are generated by the team. But it’s quite odd how vehemently you’re trying to point that out NOW when it’s a Dak discussion. You weren’t talking that bs when you speak about Romo. What’s the friggin difference now? Why does this upset you so NOW? Is it because Dak has quarterbacked and helped his team to a better start than Tony’s first 3 seasons? I have always stated the team game aspect. But you and your cronies claim that Romo was so elite he CARRIED the team to their wins. He was like Jesus and MADE all his receivers better. No mention of how TO and Witten were on the road to HOF Legacy BEFORE Romo ever threw a meaningful pass in the NFL. No mention of how Austin, Crayton and Robinson’s YAC helped Romo’s personal passing stats. Or how he had a team with 13 pro bowlers.
Oh yeah!!! Not to mention his best season was when he had Demarco doing exactly what you say Zeke does and led the league in rushing. But your hypocritical —- wanna be upset because I said Dak wins games? Well he does!! Been winning since his college days. I guess he’s just lucky that way. Hahahahaha
Yes, the need to constantly diminish the talent and supporting cast around him, to build the narrative that Romo carried the team by himself and made the team into a playoff team, by himself. Or that it was Romo who made all of the WRs better, even T.O.,Glenn and Witten. Even when there were pro bowlers on the defensive side of the ball, it was either contributed to Romo still making the team better or having a great defense for only a season or two in Romo's career.
Just like some mention how Cooper's YAC, helps out Dak. All of the WRs that got YAC in Romo's career, helped him get the stats that he did whether that be yards or TDs that WRs ran in after the catch, which wasn't directly thrown into the endzone. As I said before, if some want to use the YAC logic to take away yardage and stats from Dak, then the same logic can be used for Romo and other QBs to subtract from their total yardage in games and in their overall career. Austin was a WR who got yardage after the catch, but some still say that Romo made him, as if Romo solely did the work to make Austin be able to pick up yards after the catch.
Just saying that some Cowboys fans like to say that wins are a team stat, when it comes to Dak. But, say that the team would have been 4-12, without Romo and how he carried the team to wins, even though he did have pro bowlers and HOF on his team. And maybe that would have been the case, but mainly because of the Cowboys not having any good back up QB on the roster back then. But, for all of the "if Romo had this team" viewpoints that some like to bring up, others can turn around and. "If Brady or prime Peyton Manning had Romo's team, then they would have gone to the Superbowl."
We saw in that the team didn't collapse in 2016 or go 4-12, when Romo got hurt, because Dak had a huge rookie season. Which made us not need Romo to have a good season anymore. And is why I believe some would rather have us have a bad season in 2016, just so that Romo could be proven the only QB who can "carry" the Cowboys or just so that Romo could still be the starter right now.
