marino went to a super bowl i think in his first year and faced montana in the super bowl. don't think we can compare dak to marino.
Danny white went to super bowl and has a fabulour playoff recored 20-13. dak is nowhere close to ever touching that .
Vick had the talent but not sure how we can interpret his career after his imprisonment.
Romo and dak are being compared now but would bet many coaches would take romo over dak . he was simply better at reading defenses and was a better passer.
Romo sucked just like your butthurt Dak hatred.

With, on paper anyway, a lesser supporting cast on offense? Not likely. The defense would have to be special.
Agreed. We're too weak in the trenches for a SB, both offense and defense. Neither Dak nor any other QB could overcome that weakness. Naturally Pappy wants to blame it ALL on Dak as usual, but until we improve in the trenches we can only go just so far and that's it.
If your offense can't run and your defense can't stop the run, you're in trouble no matter who the QB is. The key is TRENCHES.

Shannon lobbied for Dak to get paid 42 mil a year. Now he is admitting that was a waste of money. Most agree Dak does not have it in him to take this team to the next level.

I didn't like that contract then and I don't like it any better now, but if you can't win in the trenches you're not likely to win period.

He lobbied for 42 for 2 reasons: 1)So he’d have easy material to generate click$. “Look what those idiots did in Dallas” is a best seller. 2)A big contract would hurt them cap wise, preventing a good support system. Easy “I told you so’s” for Horseface.

Shannon is like me on the issue.
I'm all for players trying to make as much money as they can. So, I supported Zeke and Dak's quest to get as much money as they possibly could. That doesn't mean Jerry has to pay it.
In fact, I don't think Jerry should have paid either one the amount they were looking for.
So you can do both and not be at odds or in contradiction.

Only two of 32 teams make it to the Super Bowl, so the percentages certainly favor failure by a wide margin. Forecasting doom doesn’t lend credibility to the perpetually miserable. That said, there’s a long list of “lesser” QBs that have played in the Super Bowl, so why not Dak?
So you are saying none of those "lesser QBs" never made plays that made a difference?

I say those "lesser" qbs did make plays that made a difference. I admit...not sure how to quantify that.

I do know dak hasnt. His fault? Not his fault? Is he "leader"? Not leader? I dunno. We aint won shquat is what i know.

I don't mean to be defending Dak, but did we ever have the team capable of getting to a SB with Dak? With Romo I think we had that team in 2007 and in 2014. But I don't believe we had a good enough team while Dak has been the QB.

In the playoffs it's not that easy for any QB to lead an inferior team to victory.
Did you just cherry pick a couple seasons you *might* be able to maybe blame romo for us not winning?
Is there a play or plays the team should have won but romo lost it all on his own?


Team game for dak but tony lost those two perfect years.

OF COURSE I’m not saying “lesser QB’s” have never made a play that made a difference. All I’m saying is I know he’s as good as several guys that have played in a SB.

Nope. I absolutely loved Tony Romo. I think he was better than Dak by a good amount. My point was that we had the teams, and I gave the years. But other teams want to win too. Just because you have the team doesn't mean you're going to win. I'm not blaming Romo for anything.

It's hard to explain. Just because you have a team capable of going to the SB, doesn't mean you will get there. Other teams want that too and will compete against you. I just don't think we've had those teams with Dak.

I hate you.
Actually I envy you.
I've been taking care of my old dogs.
Not quite putting-to-sleep ready, but almost there.

Dangit. It's like I'm running a retirement home!

Wife and I are ready to move on and live it up after they go.
We got one stubborn dude who decides to look like the prime of health every time he hits the Vet.
He loves the Vet!
Go figure!
And the Vet loves him so I'm like G-D it!
I hear you, have a 19 year old that is still active when she is not sleeping all the time... lol

It is and always has been, but the problem is we are the Dallas Cowboys, we don't do trenches in Big D.
We are all about stats and highlight reels.

I'm heading out in a bit for the first nighttime walleye trip of the summer. Ideal conditions for a moonlit troll. If we don't catch anything, I'm blaming Dak.
Hope you had success, trolling is a beautiful experience.
Its the time that I actually get to kick back and enjoy the entire experience, have a few beers and catch the big fellas.
The big brooders like to cruise the shallows at night, just keep that in mind, one last tip I have noticed particularly this season, is that nights with full moon seem to be especially awesome.
Ive been keeping a fishing journal for over 25 years now, and maybe someday Corso will contact me and write a book or something. :D
