Whose team is this?

[robjay04]

I love Tony Romo, I have spent the last decade rooting for him, defending him and respecting him as a football player but truly...is this really Romo's team?

Roughly half of our roster is the same as it was in 2014. That means half of our players have played more games with Prescott under center than Romo under center.

Players like Ezekiel Elliott, Alfred Morris, James Hanna, Cole Beasley, Brice Butler...these guys have become important parts of our offense. These guys have experienced the vast majority of their success( all of their success besides Beas) with Dak, not Romo.

We can even stretch it where guys like Zack Martin and Travis Frederick where such a large percentage of their careers has been spent losing football games while waiting on Romo to return. Do they want to go backwards to 2014 or turn the page forward with the QB that they will likely spend their careers with?

We need to think about the HALF THE ROSTER that has played more games with Dak than Tony before we make this critical, season defining decking. Chemistry is such a huge deal in the league and right now, a large percentage of the team sees Dak as the QB of this team. This will NOT just be an external QB controversy in a few weeks, it will be an internal as well. These new guys may be willing to move on with Dak versus going backwards.

I never I thought I would make a thread arguing against a player that I respect as much as Romo but is this really Romo's team anymore?

Me neither, but we're really arguing in favor of Prescott, and Romo just happens to be the other guy.

Sad thing is that I still think Romo is the BETTER QUARTERBACK.

Dak fits our offense and our personnel better right now. Plus he makes a fraction of the money.

It's a dopey thing to worry about. Tony will come in the game and by the end of the second series they will realize that even a man with a hurt back can hand off the ball and watch. Instant chemistry.

Man, another Romo bashing thread? And its Jerry Jones team, BTW.

Dak Team

 

[Diehardblues]

I just wanna win. And it is more than just pulling for Dak.

We are seeing a new culture unfold in front of our eyes . A winning culture .

Yes, Romo was able to keep this team relevant for years but why now do we think he has enough to elevate us higher?

What are we really leaving behind?

It's been so long since we've had another QB we don't even know if a better QB might have taken us further. All we know is how bad we'd of been without him.

 

[cej757]

Right now outside of the o-line if feels like it's Dak and Zeke's team.

I would never make a thread bashing Tony Romo. The man mailed me a signed picture for my wedding. I have immense respect for him and would love if he took over and won a Superbowl to go out with this team.

Read the thread.

This is just pointing out the fact that half of this team has played more snaps with Dak than Romo.

 

[Diehardblues]

We had this OL last year .And #4 rusher. Why weren't Weeden and Cassell able to just hand it off?

Of course.. I'm so ignorant.
Only Romo Can Save Us

Prescott is mature, smart, and has class. Due to this, he will step aside and hand the reins back to Romo and give a press conference expressing his wholehearted support for Romo as Dak believes that it is Romo's team.

When Romo gets hurt in the first or second game back, Dak will pick up where he left off and be the starter from then on.

 

[LocimusPrime]

Duh. It's Jerry jones Team. He owns the franchise, which is now worth 4-5 billion depending on if you factor the newly opened Frisco Star into the equation.

Probably because they were staring across the field at Brady, Ryan, Wilson, Brees and Rodgers... not Hoyer, Gabbert and Andy Dalton.

So? And before Dak took over half the team had played more snaps with Tony. What's the point?

Obviously you're not answering the question and you're just trying to sound smart.

The question is

Who is better for this team today

The guy who won in 2014 with roughly half of the same roster or..

The guy that is winning now with the roster we have today?

Who has this locker room?

The guy making 20 million or the guy making peanuts winnig games now?

I'm trying to look at this from the players prospective, not the fans

I recognize the sarcasm, but unfortunately there are some here who actually think that Dak is nothing more than those guys you mentioned and that he has no direct effect on the teams overall success.

They are 4-1... he hasn't thrown an interception and has lost one fumble...

He's accounted for 7 total TDs... and most importantly, he's winning. People can speculate on what this team could or would do with Romo, but it doesn't matter - this reality is what actually IS happening.

Honestly, nobody knows. Better teams might figure the Dak and Dunk out and he will start losing or he will continue to grow and roll on. Romo could come back and look like a broken down old man or he could be just what the team needs to stretch the field when better teams slow down our running game. Who knows? I'd hate to make the wrong choice.

Actually they played more snaps losing with Cassel or Weeden..

The point is this team is completely different than the last team Romo continually played with.

As long as you're going to continue worrying about something so dopey, here's one player's perspective:
