Nope. He plays QB and scores double digits in the first half vs that woeful GB defense. Romo would've carved them up on 3rd downs.

i love Romo. Dak was not the problem though.

And they say football can cause brain damage..........

Hmm, who I trust, Cowboy teammates who practice together and wtness both their performances or this so called superstar of a poorly choreographed Pretend Sport?

I'm gonna have to go with the opinion of anybody else including the majority of plant life before considering Missed.....I mean, Miz.

Not going to get into the stupidity of a wrestling entertainer giving football advice but....

Cody Kessler is a good QB. Probably the best QB the Browns have ever drafted. He will likely fail because of the team he is on but...if he got drafted to a better team, he would have a chance to be the second best QB out of the draft(behind Dakota of course).

And there goes my subtle shot at Wentz for the day.

I don't really care what a "Professional" (and I use that loosely) Wrestler says, but my own opinion was that it was simply disrespectful for Romo not to start when he was capable to do so. Dak is the future, but Romo should have been the present due to what he supposedly meant to the organization for so many years. He was not only denied seniority, he was denied that chance at a meritocracy despite organizational claims that it was such, and that is what perturbed me the most. It's ironic since the coach in training never earned anything via a meritocracy, but Romo's professional career path has followed such a trajectory since its conception.

Just hard to break up an 11 game win streak man.

Romo might've got his chance if Dak didn't follow up his worst performance against NYG with his two best performances against TB and Detroit.

We never really know the whole story. For all we know, the team polled the offense and they wanted Dak. It's easy to believe considering 2014 was a lifetime ago and we finally got back to winning.

Kessler wouldn't have come close to that no int record. Records like that way more often than not mean very special player. Then you look back at how few he threw in college on a weak team and most can see this man is the real deal. Not to mention the winning, all the other excellent stats, undeniable work ethic, and leadership.

He'll have a better year next year. By mid-year we'll be favorites to win it all.

Hope all of that comes true. One thing for sure. Dak is and should be more durable than Tony. Tony has a big target on him, and will be taken out again if he decides to keep playing. I would love to see him get a ring as a Cowboy but the only way I could see that
happening many not be possible.

Scenario: Player/assistant O coordinator - salary not counted against cap. Able to play as backup if needed. He and teams wins..... and he may get his ring that way....

Nice post. Lets not forget that Tony has had some stinkers also, like any other QB not named Brady.....

To put it all on Dak as a rookie, against a team that always plays us close i.e within 7 pts one way or another, and a high probability of a fluke play ( witten int off his leg, crayton stops route) to me isn't fair....

Dak is built better for durability. Romo is not overly big for a QB, I'm sure Dak and Romo probably measure up closely but Dak just seems built better to take hits.

Or as Jerry says, Dak is "the daddy".

I actually think Kessler can be good though.

I don't like the dismissive talk about anybody could do what Dak did though. If it was all about what you had around you, why did Brissett look so terrible for the Patriots? G(Italian dude) looked damn good for the Pats, Brady looked good, the rookie was terrible. Why? New England did have talent right? Because what Dak did wasn't simply about the talent around him. Dak will show and prove next season!!!

Three more words for the thread:

Does not matter.

Romo is gone. His career with the team ended before November 15. The entire sequence of events that made up the 2016 season is a tragic example of fear defeating logic.

The genie escaped the bottle. After Romo's injury, Prescott proved he was more than capable of running the offense efficiently enough against regular season opponents. The defense performed admirably enough supporting the offense against regular season opponents as well. The combination led to a highly successful winning streak. Thus, a general mindset was born:

Winning = Chemistry = Prescott

The ultimate goal in the NFL is the Super Bowl. Talent wins championships. Coaching wins championships. Luck wins championships. Experience wins championships. Therein lies the error in judgment embraced due to euphoria.

Prescott was not the reason Dallas did not advance in the playoffs of his rookie season. The defense was not ready for postseason competition. The defense's first half performance against a postseason opponent wasn't predetermined but it was totally foreseeable. The defense was good but it didn't consistently demonstrate postseason caliber play against regular season opponents even during the team's initial winning streak.

Therein lies the rub. Who were the 2016 Dallas Cowboys? Were they talented? Yes, primarily on offense. Was coaching capable enough? Yes, WHEN regular season opponents could not negate the team's offensive scheme. Did the team leprechaun (not Rowdy) remain on board for the magical ride? Yes. Only the Giants seemingly knew how to kick his butt off the ship.

Talent? Check.

Coaching? Check.

Luck? Check.

What's missing? What element could be missing from the Super Bowl contending equation? What could have been the final TINY piece that could have offset the team's transparently obvious ticking bomb of a defense in the postseason? What has every single championship winning team (without exception) had at quarterback in the entire 80+ year history of the National Football League?

...wait. I said talent. Check. Coaching. Check. Luck. Check. What am I missing?

Oh yeah.

Like I said earlier. Prescott was not the reason Dallas did not advance in the playoffs of his rookie season. The fault lies with a ******* management and coaching decision made prior to November 15.

You put Prescott back in.

Romo would have been a short leash. You put Prescott back in.

Is football a TEAM sport?

Was Prescott a rookie in 2016?

Okay. Smh.

I like that idea.
