I'm talking about as analyst/commentator. I have no hate for Aikman but I think even Greg Olson is already a better analyst than him.
Aikman just sits up there looking like football royalty.

Romo had a quicker release and a good zip on short to intermediate throws. Had the back shoulder throw down. He was better at extending the play. Never had a great deep ball imo...under threw many long balls where thevWR had to slow down and adjust instead of an easy TD.
Dak's accuracy is quite improved since his injury for whatever reason, and has more checkboxes than Romo, and will only get better.

Yup D4K has that Brady type mad winner in him. Romo was very good but I hated when we would lose big games and he would be on the bench with Witten with all smiles....

This quote is true. I was referring to the quote that supposedly Aikman said that Dak was better than Romo, that I did not hear during today’s broadcast.

Romos broken bones forced us to draft tyron, zack, and Frederick. It’s a shame he was broken up by the time we got all three.

Yeah, I didn't hear it either. I stepped out of the room between a few plays so I'm not doubting it, I just never heard those words in that way.
I heard the long exchange about how good a leader Dak was and how he inspired the team to play better. As I said before, that is a contrast to Romo. And that's not an insult or knock on Romo. The guy wasn't a leader but he was a great QB. I remember Emmitt Smith having that take a few times. Sometimes your game just doesn't include that intangible.

The last 4-5 years of his career Romo was able to take control of the offense and call plays at the line. Dak is doing that now, in year 5, and will only get better. So yea, in my opinion Dak is better than Romo

To compare Dak's accuracy against Romo's is silly at best and downright absurd if continued at length. Just watch today's game and look at some of the completions (not the one to the other team of course). So the first quarter was pretty mundane except for the int and the fumble issue, oh and the horrible pass to Schultz that resulted in the FG instead of a TD. He made a really nice deep pass to CD early in the 2nd that I have to admit surprised me, I mean really shocked me. The TD to Cooper I thought was a tad underthrown only because, as I stated when it happened live, there was no help over the top and if tossed a little deeper, Coop doesn't have to slide to catch it. He had both of those defenders beat and beaten badly so ...... He made some very good passes too. Dropped a couple of dimes in fact. Overall though, he is not as accurate as TR was.
Yeah yeah yeah, but his "QBR is blah blah blah", whatever. Watch the games people, don't play fantasy football and then think you know something. Watch the players reach back to catch the ball, or alter their route or nearly stop. See how often a receiver could have broken a long run after catch but didn't because they had to wait on a ball or slightly change their gait. Oh, and no, it's not "ABD" so get over that stuff. I like the guy. I think Troy may be correct as far as Leadership goes. I've even said it myself. Dak is a leader. I've known a few, I've followed a few into some nasty places. I do believe I would follow him. I just don't think if the game was on the line late in the 4th qtr and I was in a tight window he could hit me with a pass in the end zone to win the game. I really wish he could though. I would LOVE it if he could.

Most definitely is not, but he IS very good.
Tony in his prime with this roster and Offensive Coordinator would be preposterous.
We got a small glimpse in 2014 when he became the first QB in NFL history to lead the league in QB rating in both the regular and post-season.
That WR group was a fraction of what we have now and the OC was worse too.. The current RB combo is better as well.
Old news and irrelevant now. Romo is looooong gone.
Just want to see Dak lead the Cowboys to the promised land!

He hit Lamb in stride and zipped one through a tight window to Coop. Seriously, shut up.

Tony’s prime lasted one season ‘2014’, and it took him over a decade to get there. Dak is just now entering his. Romo is not the leader Dak is, and when all is said and done #4’s accomplishments will dwarf Romos.
