What was Dak's finest clutch moment as our starter?

Easily the throw to Beasley during the giants game.

I must've missed all those All Pro Romo years :huh: I'm mean since he's so clutch and all. And I'm still a huge Romo fan.
Yeah you didn’t miss it. Most people just like revisiting his history to make him better than what he was. He was good and deserved some better teams to actually contend but he just didn’t have a great career.

He has 19 4th quarter comebacks in his career. This shows there have certainly been times where he has played very well. And before the Negative Army chimes in, yes, he has had his fair share of stinkers too.
Well they said those comeback wins don’t matter he has to thread the needle and throw a impossible pass for a win in a SB game.

Because it unrealistic lol. You’re asking for a Staubach Hail Mary play and that’s just unrealistic.
Oh that is such ******** dude. Unbelievable that supposedly experienced football fans can't distinguish between average plays and plays that required something more. Or more accurately, don't want to when it would be admitting that not every play by their favorite player is special.

What about carving the Eagles up this year in week 16? That game was a monster performance and, at the time, kept Dallas right on Philly's heels for the division crown and 1-seed.
I dont remember any carvings. I remember the Eagles fumbling about a half dozen times and nearly winning the game from inside the 20 late. (without their starting QB)

That’s not it. You said a game winner isn’t a big throw if the OC makes a great play or the receiver is open.

So then I asked to give me a example of what you’re saying and you say you don’t have anything.

I even googled some Mahomes big throws and most of them are Kelce doing the work. Then I did Josh Allen….Diggs and Davis doing the work. You just have a different standard that I don’t believe is realistic.

Like has Troy Aikman made any big throws to you?

You can either apply the criteria I gave you or you can't.

One last time on the play in NE, If he misses the pass, is your reaction "Ahh, it was gonna be tough to complete that" or "How the H did he miss that"? There is only one correct answer and it tells you it wasn't a special play. It only occurred at a good time which I already gave credit for.

So why won’t you give an example of this? And we the throw tough? Aside from him suffering a calf strain while doing it? No. But I think the point you’re missing here is that typically big time throws from great play calls lol.

27/35 for 347 yards and 3 TDs + 41 yards rushing with the division and 1-seed on the line against the second best team in football isn't a big enough game for you?

Tough crowd.

Good game. Good win. Stache had good numbers also. Eagles gave Dak plenty of chances. Hurts was out. Dak put the team in a hole to start the game(standard Dak) and almost fumbled it away to lose it. Dak has some nice rushes.

Was the #1 seed really on the line? That is debatable. On paper it was.

Leaving that game did anyone think that Dallas could beat Philly with Hurts in the playoffs?
I know I didn't. Barely beat the Stache at home.

I notice you don't answer my questions. Is that because it would completely undermine the answer you want to be true?

I did better than give you an example. I gave you criteria that can be applied to any situation.

Are you kidding? Big time throws have almost nothing to do with great play calls. Plays are "designed" to create an easy play. Which is exactly what the NE play illustrates. Play action to the left with a bootleg right with CD getting across the field with a huge window in front of him. The play worked awesome. Yet it required nothing special on anyone's part.

Big time throws are what is required when the design didn't produce the desired advantage.

Winning that game forced the Eagles to continue playing their starters and forced them into continued week over week must-win scenarios to end the season. I would say that is not insignificant.

I actually left that game thinking Dallas could definitely beat Philly in the playoffs. Did I think it was likely? Not necessarily, but definitely possible. You have to remember that with Jalen Hurts they barely beat a Cooper Rush led team at home too.
