Video: We've seen Romo deliver plenty of these type of games Dak just had, yet doesn't get the same grief?

[gjkoeppen]

With us being a run first team, why do we always go pass happy in the red zone? Why is our red zone O so bad?

And this is Prescott's fault how that the plays sent in are passing plays?

I didnt say anything about Prescott. Just an honest question.

 

[CowboysBravesSpurs]

Romo throws the pick to lose the game while Dak throws the TD to win the game. Big difference.

People like you are the reason why Dak has haters. My god.

 

[gjkoeppen]

Sure but we ran that way in 2014 too and Romo had 34 TDs, his 2nd highest year. I don't expect Dak to play as well Romo at the end of his career but let's also not pretend that 24 TDs is the benchmark of success in this offense.

This discussion was had before and Romo had the highest run percentage of 41% of the time and it wasn't 2014 but 2007. So Romo's 34 TD's in 2014 he did that by throwing the ball a lot more more than the Cowboys ran it.

To all those here claiming Romo was heavily criticized by MOST fans. YOU ARE A GOT DAMN LIAR. You Romo saps would ***** whine and moan about Romo needs this or that EVERY FRIGGIN SEASON. His mistakes and gaffes were never his fault. It was the receivers fault. The Oline’s fault. The running backs fault. The coaching. Jerry Jones. The fans. The cheerleaders. The hole in the roof. Anything and anyone but Romo. The lies you clowns tell are sickening. Downright sickening. Romo once threw 5 interceptions in a game we eventually won and was praised for that. Anyone who denies this is a lying coward. Why are we even on this board if we ain’t gonna be realistic?

Tissues?

Lol you have issues man. Like I've been saying, both Dak fanboys and Dak haters are ruining this fan base. Bunch of manchildren who have no lives so they spend all day crying on the internet. lmao.

Dak needs to improve in some areas.....the deep ball, especially to gallup......fumblitis......taking too many sacks. His mistakes tend to cost us points, especially the red zone ones. Still, his OL is not exactly the wall it was his rookie season. It is not horrible, just not great.

With all that being said, one thing Dak does well is he grinds it out. He has mental toughness and a huge will to win. He may not make it look pretty, but he seems to find a way to grab that W. One of Romo's biggest criticisms was that he was not very clutch late in games and late in the season. I am a Romosexual, and even I can admit he botched a lot of moments he shouldn't have. Dak, conversely, seems to be able o overcome early mistakes and show extreme clutchness late in games. He is a warrior and has complete command of the team, they believe and trust in him.

Imagine how awesome he will be once he overcomes some of those weaknesses. Hell, just overcome the fumbles and it will be all good.

The NFC better get ready for this winter, cause the semi known as the Dak Attack is haulin glutes, and there isn't a roadblock that will stop him.

East bound and down, loaded up and truckin, he's gonna do what they say can't be done. He's got a long way to go and a short time to get there, east bound just watch Dakota run. The Lombardi is in Atlanta, the Boys are west of Texarkana, to win, he's gonna do whatever it takes........

No. 1 priority for Dak: don't throw at receivers' feet.

Well at least at the feet is almost always no int. Overthrows are far more dangerous.

And you aren't crying by calling posters out? Awesome. (just wonderin what the fine line is on the term crying)

here is a great video of some pocket awareness!

Well....it's always easy to pull up a video of good things a player does. I can find a great pocket awareness video of Dak. When Romo started QB for his first three seasons, he had 32 fumbles. He got better. Even late in his career (2011-2013), he was sacked quite a bit. Now, I'm sure it wasn't all on him but my point is Dak will get pocket awareness. He'll grow with that. So many people expect Dak to be a superstar right from the go. He had a very good rookie year. He will still grow as the mental game grows and he get some competent coaches around him.

Romo Stockholm syndrome. I have said it before and I must repeat it now. Too many fans are just soo in love with Romo, because even our expectations of a good QB have been tainted by our 22 years of mediocrity. I loved Romo and always defended him against all comers but enough is enough, he is gone and now we can really digest what the end result was.
Romo was statistically great and I think his greatness will only grow even from the analytics guys. He unfortunately did not come up by at the biggest moments, yes I know he had several 4th quarter comebacks, good TD to int ratio in those games, etc,etc. Statistics can be misleading at times...
But do you remember back in the 2008-2015 how many times we would have the playoffs on the line in December or even the last game of the year and we just couldn't make it over the hump. The playoff disappointments the elimination games... the ones below come to top of mind

2006 vs Seattle
2007 Vs Giants
2011 Week17 vs Giants
2012 Week 17 vs Skins
2008 Vs Eagles
2014 vs GB
2009 Vs Minnesota

2009 Wildcard Win vs Philly
2014 Wildcard win vs Detriot

If the ball bounces one way or another I know the result is different but that is football. It's the coaching, game management, coming up big when it matters. I know if he played for some other great coach it would have been different but I can say that about any number of QB's who always disappointed.

It's not a crime but every day someone starts a "lets rip Prescott thread" and even threads that start off on a different thought always ends up as another rip on Prescott thread and almost all of the ripping is the same group who make it their daily goal to rip Prescott as much as possible. They continue their whining and do it in such a manner that they make it sound like Prescott is the only player in the NFL that has made mistakes, had some bad plays or even a bad game. While they whine and point out the losses they blame Prescott and when someone points out something their comeback is "oh he had a great line and Zeke". In other words the losses are all Prescott's fault but the wins were all Zeke and the line that got the wins.

And every day someone writes a Dak is greatest QB ever thread. He is somewhere in between.

This discussion was had before and Romo had the highest run percentage of 41% of the time and it wasn't 2014 but 2007. So Romo's 34 TD's in 2014 he did that by throwing the ball a lot more more than the Cowboys ran it.
.

2007 was a good year but Romo had 85 more attempts than in 2014, which is way more than the 1 game Romo didn't play in 14.

Tony Romo 2003-2016.

Never forget.

Exaggeration doesn't help your cause. List all of the threads that were started proclaiming Prescott the greatest QB ever. Nobody believes that or says that but there are those that say he's nowhere as bad as the Prescott haters try to paint he as. There's a difference between disputing the haters and proclaiming him the greatest QB ever. The haters turn EVERY thread into lets bash Prescott.

Fair point and it's posted quite often. I'm sure there may be a very small group of fans who are homerific and think Prescott is a God, but it's an overaggageration to suggest it's everyday its claimed.

OK list any threads that start out proclaiming Prescott is the greatest QB ever. Then list all of the other threads that were started out as talking about something other than Prescott that in someplace in that thread the Prescott haters don't start blaming Prescott for whatever that thread was started for. I'll give you all the time you need to find even ONE of those threads that started as something else that turned into a Prescott hating thread. Prescott has somethings he needs to work on but he's nowhere near as bad as the Prescott haters try to paint him as.
