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.

Ok cool but why keep discussing Romo? He's like the ex when you're in that puppy dog phase where you ONLY see the good making you miserable. He was a huge part of this franchise and I was front and center supporting him through all of his ups and downs. But that was THEN? I just don't get the constant wondering and fascination with the endless comparisons most of which are being used to undermine our current QB. Dak didn't DO anything to Tony. Dak didn't ask to be drafted here. At some point we need to ground ourselves. Dak is not beyond FAIR criticism but leveraging it Romo is becoming tiresome and unproductive.

I think with Dak is what he is and always will be. He is a good game manager where if the offense is running on all cylinders will be succesful and be smart with the football and wont turn it over. But if the offense is not running on all cylinders he will be exposed more than times than not. To me thats just it in a nut shell. Thats what we have with Dak. He is a great guy. I love his heart and his compmete level and passion. But game manager is who he is. The problem is this team as a whole is not good enough overall. So here lies the problem. Hence our record so far.

My only point was why does Dez get the benifit of the doubt by saying the defense stinks and such and such whem Romo never got that luxury. Thats my point.

One team. Dez doesn't get any favoritism. Everyone must do their job. No excuses. Who cares what luxury's Romo got? Why is that even relevant? Romo had his run and should be appreciated. Why not let him go?

Man if the Cowboys don't right the ship this place is gonna get cray cray

As it very well should.

I don't think people understand how close we are to going back into rebuilding mode if the Dak experiment fails. All we have is our offensive line and Lawrence - outside of that, nearly every single position on this team will need and upgrade.

Outside of the offensive line, if this season goes to crap, everyone would be expendable and I'd see what we could get for some players.

I have but do you read what people say here? Come on. Its like if you say a bad word about Dak people get upset and say how dare you. He is great and the rest of rhe team sucks. To me its obvious why im saying what im saying. I never read that after a loss when Romo was playing. It was always he sucks. He chomes etc. It was a joke. But if we lose today its because our coaches suck and our defense sucks. Thats my onky point. Its not a Romo thing. My poibt is i just wish people would be fair and consistenr.

I truly trulybelive in my heart that in 6 years Dak will not be on this team. Wow do i hope im so so wrong and ill glady eat all the crow in the world. I hope im wrong but i just dont love this guy like everyone here does. Look im wrong so many times. So i hope this is another time but i just dont love this guys skillset to be successful in this league. Esp us where we are so awful on the other side of the ball.

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 discussion is over and done with????

A dead issue........ hmmmmm!

Is that a promise?????

The point is, Dak isn't half what Romo was at his best. And that's generous.

Dak has a LONG way to go to reach that standard. Romo can't take hits, which is why he's gone. Not because Dak is better. That's just silly.

We're left to wait and see as all teams do with young quarterbacks. What's troubling is that Goff and Wentz' arrows are up this year, and Dak's is going the wrong direction at this moment. That tide needs to turn.

Yet Wentz and Dak have almost the exact same numbers at this point.

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.

I want to like this, but he was great in the pocket last year--and not just underneath, but the intermediate 15-25 yarders too.

Yikes. That's the first bad post you have ever made. In my opinion.

Geez, more numbers. Watch the games. No, they haven't been remotely the same. And I'm not saying Wentz is some godsend to quarterbacking yet. He's just playing better than Dak.

I would want to assess why there was a continued regression. Personally, I don't buy into the 4th round theory. When you're *that* good your rookie season there is likely to be some regression towards the mean the following season, but something other than that is a factor.

In 2002, coming off his first season as a starter, Tom Brady regressed a decent amount. But the Patriots believed in his ability and instead decided to address the issues that were causing him to regress so much.

As much as we all hate to say it, I think it would still be a good idea to keep the same offense. I want Dak to get at least 4 years of the same offense before we start making changes. But maybe the personnel needs to change. Maybe we need to find a replacement for Dez and Tyron. Always better to get rid of a player too soon than to hold onto them for too long.

Maybe the changes in throwing mechanics need to be examined because he went from super accurate last year to having trouble with his inaccuracy this year.

But, we still have a long season to go.

That can't possibly be the point. Dak has started 19 full regular season games. Romo sat back and studied for 3 years before he even got an opportunity. Why are you comparing Dak to 2014 Romo? Romo's 2006 was NOT as good as Dak's 2016. Romo has struggled MIGHTILY as times throughout his career. Was Romo more advanced as a passer once he got rolling? At this point in Dak's development, yes. The problem is you're only recognize the positive with Romo. How many times have we sat back and witnessed and disappointing Sunday afternoon with Romo at the helm? Romo has had us all pulling our hair out and yelling at the TV for various reasons if we're being honest. Again.. you're holding Dak to Romo at his best when the young kid is just starting his career. Show me a better first 19 starts? You're also viewing Goff/Wentz under a greener grass perspective. They were the first two overall picks. Lol... you're actually complimenting Dak with your standards but in a backhanded way.

AGAIN.. even if like you say Dak isn't half of what Romo was at his best.. WHAT NOW? IS ROMO COMING OUT OF THE BOOTH? IS HE ON THE TEAM. WHAT'S THE POINT? HE'S NOT ON THE TEAM. Maybe if we lost Dak for the season, you might actually appreciate the kid.
