WWE's The Miz has three simple words for Jerry Jones and Co

[Gameover]

If Kessler could do what Dak did, what does that say about Tony Romo?

Anybody can win with his team! But I thought Romo was the only reason this whole thing worked?! That's what his fans have posted for years and certainly after the 4-12 season in 2015. If the OL is so great, why couldn't they get Cassel or Weeden to at least 7 wins? I know the Zekies will now come out the woodwork and give him all the credit.

Dak had a 81.6 qbr for the season(3rd best. And that metric is based on impactful throws. You can mislead on qb ratings)Going into December with a league leading 86 qbr.. and that was all because of the OL? Don't work like that.

Tony Romo is by far the biggest question mark heading into the Dallas Cowboys offseason.
With the emergence of rookie sensation Dak Prescott, the chances of Tony Romo ever taking a snap again under center for the Cowboys have become very clouded ... at least to most people.

WWE Superstar The Miz recently joined ESPN's SportsNation when the topic of the starting quarterback position of the Dallas Cowboys arose.

The Miz had three simple words for Jerry Jones and Co.

"Start Tony Romo."

Not the most popular opinion considering Prescott, the AP Offensive Rookie of the Year, arguably just led the most productive NFL season ever by a first-year quarterback, but The Miz did not back down.

"And I know everyone's laughing at me and saying why would you start him? But Dak Prescott had an amazing line. He had a ton of weapons," he continued. "Cody Kessler could have ran that offense and took them to where Dak Prescott did."

This isn't the first time The Miz has tried to shine the light of the Cowboys' success on players other than Prescott. In December, he credited the Dallas offensive line of providing the path to success for both Prescott and fellow rookie Ezekiel Elliott.

And don't be too quick to dismiss his opinion, fans would be hard-pressed to find anyone in the WWE locker room more into the NFL and fantasy football. So, The Miz at least has a (somewhat) credible opinion. An opinion which is still all aboard the Romo bandwagon.

"Tony Romo has the fourth highest passer rating in NFL history ... Romo is a Super Bowl-caliber quarterback," he said. "Do you want to make it to the Super Bowl? Do you want the Cowboys to go to the Super Bowl? Then you play Tony Romo."

Who the hell is the Miz?

I stopped watching fake azz wrestling when I was like 12

 

[TwoDeep3]

Here is the question I have.

What GM would risk any quality pick to take a guy who breaks down?

If this is simply getting a 5th and be done with it, then Thanks Tony. Here is a slap in the face on your way out.

But if this is a high pick, 3rd, 2nd maybe, who in their right mind would put money on the Romo long shot. One tackle and his season, or career is done.

 

[Gameover]

Tony Romo is this great SB winning QB, when all he needed to win this division from 2011-13 was 9 wins. 9 wins. 9 wins. 9 wins. 9wins

They'll say the team didn't have any defense. Aaron Rodgers team had defense this year?They were a mash unit.

If Aaron were like Tony Romo, he would've choked off one of those games down the stretch, and a fan like Risen would've said the organization let him down.

No a true great QB lifts you up. Tony went down with the ship and usually with his fingers clutched around his throat.

A true great QB should win 10 games most seasons no matter who is surrounding them.

Dak is 0-1 in playoffs, started off same as Tony, losing a close one.
Having JG as HC makes it hard to win in playoffs, as Dak will find out.
On the last drive by cowboys, I could say dak choked there, so we had to take a FG.
The int he threw was supposed to go to beasely, but went no where near him, more at dez's butt lol. Choked ??
Good thing Dak wasnt the holder on FG's lol or it could have been more like tonys first playoff loss.

Dak is a good qb, so is tony, JG is the choker and bumbler, with each qb he lost to GB in Div round.
The problem isnt with the qb position.

 

[robjay04]

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....

I know it is not the way Tony would want it but if Jerry gets another ring in his lifetime, he would surely make sure Romo got one.

How did Dak choke on the last drive? Because the ball was deflected?

Tom Brady also threw a pick 6 on an ugly pass early in the SB, did he choke? No because he recovered and led his team to tie the game after an epic 4th quarter comeback to tie the game. The only difference between the game is that the Patriots defense made plays at the end to keep the Falcons from scoring.

Fact is, Dak walked off the field with a tie game, after helping orchestrate an epic comeback in the 4th quarter with only 30 seconds to go. He is only a rookie.

I love the guy but Romo's first 3 seasons consisted of a playoff loss because of his turnover(I don't blame him), another playoff loss due to his turnover and a throttling of 44-6 in a win(not to mention losing the last game in Texas Stadium with huge playoff implications the year before). Sure, other factors put us in those situations and you can't completely fault Romo but his performance in those games did not improve our chances of victory. He should have been better, I guarantee Tony would tell you that.

I hate to sound like a Romo basher because he is one of my all time favorite Cowboy players but it took Romo 3 seasons as a starter to even come close to performing as well as Dak did in his first playoff game. You may have a point if Dak's interception came with the game on the line but the guy was epic in the 4th quarter. Dak is not a choker.

I got 3

Who is he?

and who cares?

well lol I wasnt saying dak is a choker, I was just saying I could say that like people say about romo.
There are many other variables in all the games tony lost, and same for dak.
Every qb may play poorly in some games, they arent perfect , and qb is the hardest position to play without error.

The only fair comparison between dak and tony are the 2014 and 2016 seasons, and they both did about the same.
They had the same basic players, except dak had elliot instead of murray. both had linehan as OC.
both lost close game to GB in div round.
Both started their playoff record at 0-1
And as good as dak was in 2016, he was still one and done in playoffs.
Doing good in reg season is great, but if they dont win in playoffs, that sort of makes the regular season less meaningful.

Also not blaming dak for the loss, but he too could have done better and maybe won the game.

So you are going to compare Romo in his 9th season to Dak in his rookie season and say it is a "fair" comparison. You sir, in defense of Romo are incorrigible.

 

[Rockdoc]

so for those that care (lol)
the Miz was on a mtv show many years ago called the real world
he was a talker and had a wrestlers attitude, sure enough a few years later, some working out, a shtick and wala
a wrestler

there is a guy on TNA wrestling (much smaller but cable network show), he was on Big Brother and was jacked. it was his dream to be a wrestler and now he is mid level star. cant remember what he goes by

Dak didnt play like a normal rookie, he played like a vet, and let me change it to "fairest "
They had much of the same to work with , with same results.

 

[gimmesix]

Sounds to me like he's beating a dead horse, although there are some here who would agree.

I agree with him that Romo is a Super Bowl-caliber quarterback. It just so happens that Dak looks like he could be one, too, which isn't what we could have expected.

Give either this offense and a slightly better defense and we easily could be playing for a title. I never get why fans seem to have to disparage one in order to support the other. Dak had a fantastic season and Romo has been a fantastic franchise QB. I could live with either starting next year, but I can't see Dallas returning to Romo when it's future at the position has arrived.

Yep, I agree -- the FO should be inclined to stick to their agenda and develop their youngsters while doing their level best to replenish their defense with legitimate difference makers in the draft. If the next draft is anything remotely resembling the last one, the end results should say it all. Playing their cards right this year just might net them some spectacular results in the years that lie ahead. Dak & Zeke are the future, no doubt. Augment the defense in the offseason and good things are likely to follow.

Not directed at you, but I cant believe people still watch wrestling. Its not a sport, its all scripted acting.

An old college buddy I knew at UT tried wrestling for awhile on the small circuits. He had a good build and was muscular, but a knee injury kept him from playing football. Long story short, he tried wrestling on some of the small circuits, mostly just local type events. They would go into a town and have several fights at the American Legion Hall and the tickets were like $5 a piece. Anyways, as you can guess, all the matches were staged, they had a script to follow on who was going to be the good guy and who was going to be the bad guy (the heel), how long the matches were going to last, and who was going to win and how they would win with their "finishing move" and if you deviated from the script, you were fired.

He tried it for a year or two and quit. The money was poor, his cut sometimes was only like $20 bucks for the entire night and the company didn't provide any insurance, so if you got hurt you had to pay for your own medical bills. He said most of the injuries were minor, like a sprained ankle or sprained wrist, maybe a dislocated finger along with the usual bumps and bruises. The ring is made of lumber with a tarp stretched over it, so falling off the ropes onto the ring was basically like falling onto a pile of lumber.......ouch

Anyways my rant is over

That's like asking why anybody watches TV. I remember watching from 94 to 2002 and enjoying the drama of it all, like any other tv show. It has characters, twists, drama. It really is that simple, just think of it as a TV show and not a sport, even though it's incredibly physically demanding.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

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.

So Romo would've put up over 50 points on the Packers?

 

[Sarge]

I got 3

Who is he?

He's an annoying know it all.

 

[SDCowboy]

Why do people watch anything? It's no different than watching, say, The Walking Dead. It's entertainment. I don't think many watch it as an actual sporting event.

 

[mahoneybill]

I know it is not the way Tony would want it but if Jerry gets another ring in his lifetime, he would surely make sure Romo got one.

Nice post. I could see that happening...
