Dak is better than Romo. That's why he's starting and Romo is riding the pine.

Yeah I don't think so. It is absolutely a hot hand situation.

Dak could wind up a better QB than Romo within the next two years if he continues to improve. But he is still a drat good rookie behind one of the best offensive lines in football.

Romo would not have been as effective on the run, yes. But he also would have been a much bigger threat downfield. Defenses right now are content to try and beat the Cowboys up front, since Zeke is the more immediate threat.

"Hot hand" is bullshit. If the Dallas Cowboys thought Tony Romo was better than Dak Prescott he would be starting.

You give the organization way too much credit, then. Pretty much the way everyone in the metroplex has explained the situation is "let Dak play until he stops winning."

I like Dak a lot, and he cemented himself as the future of this team a lot earlier than I expected. But I still think the Cowboys would have been undefeated with Romo at the helm. Ultimately I won't really be proven right about any of this until we see Tony in a Broncos jersey, so gently caress me either way.

also, fans won't admit it, but Romo was way less safe with the football and Dak takes care of it. Romo probably would have had at least one bad game so far where some bad picks cost them a game.

Fumbles or INTs, take your pick.

There's a big difference between a hypothetical world where Romo didn't get hurt and started all 12 games so far vs a world where he just returned a few weeks ago after a potentially season or career ending injury. Should Romo be starting now? Absolutely not. If he had never got hurt, its very possible that they're 12-0 right now.


Yeah, you won't see any argument from me on this front. Romo should take the field in the regular season only to knock off a bit of rust before entering the post season (garbage time, baby), but his position as starter was gone as early as week 6 or 7.

Real talk Romo probably wins that game. Romo knows where to find Witten, a player the Giants do not know exists.

Ereck Flowers might be the worst left tackle in the league right now. Eli has to dump off the ball so fast every play because Flowers couldn't guard a sloth.

Flowers made the Cowboys D Line look decent

1)gently caress the Iggles

2)Seriously though, I'm really not looking forward to playing Philly in the future. With the Giants and the Redskins, there are some big question marks about where they head in the next five years, even if it mostly comes down to "when will they switch out at QB?" With the Eagles, I mean they really felt like one good WR away from competing for the division. That first game against Dallas was a cheek clencher, and if Schwartz sticks around long enough as DC that's bound to cause headaches down the road. Wentz looks good, the defense looks good, that's two really big pieces right there.


I hate your city, your team, your fanbase, but I can't deny Philly scares me the most starting next season.

Romo with the Texans would be a win-win for me, since I'd be able to turn around and unleash the hellfire of Romo memes right back at Texans fans back home.


I don't hate the Texans, to an extent I feel for their fanbase suffering under a front office that inept, but holy poo poo the mud slinging after the Cowboys lost on Sunday was ridiculous. I'll take it from drat near every team in the NFL BUT the Texans, after the way Brock played.

It's also noteworthy for almost being a microcosm of some of the dumb media narratives about Romo. He played out of his loving mind the whole game while the defense couldn't stop Denver at all (They turned it over twice, but the Broncos never punted), but at the end Romo throws a pick, which was really an excellent diving play by Danny Trevathan, and then it turns into "HE CHOKED HE SUCKS" for a week.

This is the game that finalized my hatred for my own fanbase.


I want the Cowboys to win, but I will always wish death and sadness on the drunkass idiots who blame 100% of a game on the quarterback. It's maddening.

So I'm pretty sure Jason Garrett hasn't had back to back winning seasons as a head coach yet. Honestly, I'm not expecting that to change this year. I expect a subpar year from Dak, and in general a bad showing from a defense that finds a way to get worse. This is my Cowboys prediction, it would be nice to be wrong.

I also expect the Eagles, with their fancy new wide receivers, will win the division.

Oh nonono, shouldn't be paying good money to average players. In the long run, I feel good about the Cowboys future. They have to wiggle out a little further to remove themselves from cap hell, and they have young talent in some key positions that should improve in the next few seasons.

I'm just a little frustrated short term, since it seems impossible that Dak won't regress a little bit, and even if these young defensemen deliver I don't think there's a ton of depth in case of injury.

I'm sorry, are you enjoying watching half of the goddamn team embarrass itself every offseason? Like, beyond just the decisions of the front office? I've got zero confidence in this organization to keep anybody out of trouble. Elliott can't seem to avoid controversy, our defense is a bad night away from becoming drugged up murderers, apparently, and even if it is the weakest poo poo ever even Dak has people accusing him of stuff.


Just once I'd like to start a season with 90% of our personnel ready to play and not on the verge of sitting out a quarter of the season. Pardon me for asking the Cowboys to clear such a high bar.

You're overreacting and saying it like the Cowboys are the only team that has these problems.

I never said they were.

I just want them to be better than this. Jason Garett hasn't put together two consecutive winning seasons since becoming the head coach, and while a lot of that stems from Romo injuries, it's the little poo poo like this that explains a lot.

I don't expect a football team full of saints. Christ, I still like the 90s champion Cowboy teams, and they weren't exactly the nicest bunch of people to deal with. But when your defense is a gigantic question mark yet again, when your organization is under fire for braindead suspensions yet again, when a defensive player has a road rage incident in the FC Dallas parking lot (just :lol: at this), it just sucks the wind right out of your sails before the season starts, and this is before we even consider poo poo like sophomore slumps and potential injuries.

I doubt anyone in this thread sympathizes, and that's fine. I'm just venting. Also, I'll take the combo three with a Coke.
