Can only compare Romo's 1st 20 games to Dak's 1s
Romo is better than Dak...although the move to Dak was the right one. Romo made a LOT of plays OUTSIDE of Garretts offense.

I disagree. Romo shoud have got his job back and to me wouldb have given us the best chance to best the Packers. GB def was brutal. Worse than ours. Romo would have put up points both halves not just one. Not saying we would have won because our d is brutal and Rodgers is a works class player but in my mind Romo would have given this team the best chance to win. Thats all. Its over and done with now and a dead issue. Time to move forward. So I have and im rooting like heck for Dak but i think he is nit as great as so many people here make him out to be. I hope he learns and grows and gets better

Romo wasn't healthy enough. That's the only reason ole Jerry boy didn't inflict him on the fans.

We was plenty healthy enough to play late in the season and def the playoff game. Thats not a good enough reason. Esp late in the season. But lets not make this a 15 page topic about it again. We all have our own opinion in what happened. Thats the beauty of sports.

You have no clue what Romo would have done so this is completely unproductive. He could have easily been injured between midway and the end of the season. You're assuming complete health which is a complete question mark with Romo. You're also assuming we would have won the exact amount of games and just thrusting us to the same GB game. Romo has made mistakes and been responsible for losses as well. No way you trot Romo out there after the run we were on especially considering Romo's 2015. Makes no sense. We should stop fantasizing about Romo. Remember Dak is a second year starter so there will be peaks and valley's. The standard that some are holding him to here is agenda laced and disturbing. There's not too much more you can ask of a young QB thrust into a starting role from day one. Compare him to any other QB through 19 full starts. Not saying Dak is perfect by any stretch but like what the kid has done. There's always a dip especially after huge initial success. It's part of life and any skill/profession. It's up to Dak to find his way as a pro. I like his chances.

Yep. Bryant and Garrett need to go..then this club will be ready for bigger things.


Yeah because its so easy huh? Just get a #1 WR. Just like that. Come on guys.
Replace Dez with a true #1 receiver...and get a tight end out there who isn't 62 years old...we'll be fine.


Ha yeah so easy huh? Judt get a #1 WR just like that. And know your going to knock a hall of fame TE. Yeah im sure he is the problem. Wow. It amazes how people like you think. Just like that. Just get a #1 WR. And get a TE with Witten credentials. Peice of cake. Ugh. Yeah that the only prob this team has huh? Its not the defense or our annoited superstar QB who cant hit the broad side of a barn in the pocket.

Dak would have to do real bad this year for the Jones boys to look for another quarterback.
cousins would probably be pretty good here in Dallas if he had the Run game the off line but both of those are lacking right now that's why dak isn't doing as well as last year.

Your talking the wrong guy about your Dak point. Tell it to the members here who said how great he was already and how he is a top 5 QB and sime had the nerve to say right now he was better than Tom Brady. So tell it to them. Not me.

Bryant isn't and never has been a #1 WR..He is a lazy redzone jump ball specialist that never learned more than 3 routes and runs them in slow motion. His idiotic contract is dragging the club down. Luckily, his guaranteed money is down this yr and so is he.

At the very least Romo would not have kept defenses honest. No way could any defense keep 8 men in the box to stop our run. So that part alone would be better. Again your right im not saying would have won anyrhing. All im ssying with last year talent and even this years Romo im my opinion gibes us a better change to win. Injuries you cant predict of course. But that was not my point. I was talking about how just how defenses wpuld have a harder time to game plan against us

Your analysis is incorrect. Again, I'll admit he has missed a few throws, but his receivers are not getting open. He has had to fit his passes is tight windows (and is top ten at doing that BTW).

One step is open in the pros. This isn't like college for Dak.

And there are receivers wide open on multiple plays, but when he's in the pocket, he doesn't like to go downfield unless it's down the sidelines on occasion.

When Dak gets out of the pocket, he's dangerous because his eyes go downfield. That's when he's comfortable. Just not in the pocket, which is why teams are so insistent on stacking the line, protecting against the play action rollouts, and covering all the short routes for Beasley and Witten.

Now, he has to adjust. That will take time because his arm and accuracy are not that great.

Indeed, Romo would be obliterating these fronts with ease....IF he could take the hits. That's the big if with him.

With Dak as our QB Dez skill set is pretty much useless to us. Dez will never ever ever have great numbers with Dak as our QB. And i agree ill take winning anyday over stats but we can not use Dez efficently with Dak as our QB. So there is a problem. Hopefull we find a way to meet in the middle somehow

It's a valid question. Dak has shown real consistency and accuracy issues. He can hit wide open receivers maybe 80% of the time. Will his accuracy improve enough? Or is it just going to be acceptable he can't throw in a tight window? The Cowboys will never get to that level with a QB who is "just pretty good". As you've seen already, teams have a plan for Dak and it's achieving results. His play action rollouts are going to have a LB waiting for him more often now. Keep him in the pocket. He's average from there.

So is this what it's going to be for the next 3-4 years? You've got to ask yourself...

What young QB has steadily improved every year? Throws with anticipation? Stands in the pocket? Leads his receiver instead of only throwing outs and comebacks? Can make every throw required. And just so happens to be a free agent 2018? Don't tell me you haven't thought about.

Kirk Cousins.

How often does a QB, seemingly ready to take the next step come available to the highest bidder?

1) How awesome would it be for the Skins to be dumb enough to let him get away?
2) How awesome to let him get to a hated rival and have nobody to replace him with?
3) A plug and play QB who has the possibility to throw for 4500 yards if needed.
4) A QB motivated to remind his former team of the mistake they made twice a year for the next 8-10 years.

A pretty bold move to make. One that might be best for the team.

While I appreciate the concern, I think it is baseless at this point. Dak has already shown he has the physical skills and the intelligence to play quarterback at this level. My opinion, at this point his problems are all related to just overthinking. He’s trying to hard to make the perfect play, instead of just making whatever play The defense a fortune. He needs to get out of his own head and trust his instincts… He will be fine.

Where did I say it was easy? We will need a draft to prioritize outside receiving and tight end. Witten is HOF based on the past...when he was awesome. Jason is playing below average now.

Dez is hurting us. Outside of when working against zone he almost never secures separation, and Dak can't trust him to run reliable routes...to know where he can put the ball.

I completely disagree, and I am not what one would consider a Dez homer. While his route three is limited, there are still several or his skill set is ideal for an offense. Slants, comeback, smoke screens, and crosses are all intermediate Ralphs that he could run. The problem with completing those routes is the quarterbacks accuracy. Prescotts accuracy will get better with experience as it does with any quarterback.
