Cassell went 11 and 5 in New England. Sanchez went to a conference championship game. Still couldn't win a single game with those guys here.
He's not on the level of a Romo at the end of his career? Why are we comparing a 2nd year qb to a qb at the end of his career?
Romo was sitting on the bench at Dak's age. Romo had 3 8 and 8 seasons in a row prior to the 12 and 4 season, and yet Dak is a product of the oline but Romo isn't? Is Dak's 9 and 7 worse than Romo's 8 and 8 somehow?
We didn't break out of perpetual 8 and 8 until we completely revamped the O line and until Murray had a historic season... so tell me how Dak is a product of the running game and o line and yet Romo isn't when that's what it took for us to finally stop having 8 and 8 seasons.
We comparing a young Dak to an end-of-career Romo cause the front office pushed out and forced Romo to retire. For a young Dak. That's why.
You really need a breakdown on Dak as a QB having to carry the team?
Again, act like Dak Prescott didn't turn into Chad Hutchinson when Zeke started serving his suspension.
What happened after Zeke sat for his suspension? What happened to the PPG? What happened to the W-L columns? The playoffs chances? The first downs gained? The number of 3 and outs? The number of games lost by halftime?
Cowboys got like 5 wins quickly last season and then tailed off like a mother fukker. They got a couple cheap wins late. That last game vs Philly's backups was pathetic. Philly basically threw that game and Dak could barely muster 10 points. Pathetic.
Dude has no pocket presence, doesn't take off when he should, needs a clean pocket for 7 seconds to make 4 reads and then get rid of the ball, can't consistently make throws to outside the numbers, can't throw 50/50 balls to Dez, can't put up 20ppg without Zeke, shyt, can't even even put up 15ppg without Zeke.
He hasn't really shown any quality improvement in any of the areas you would look for since he got drafted. If anything, he's taken a step back now that defenses have film on him and know how to game plan for a Dak offense.
This is all with several Pro-Bowlers and All-Pro talents surrounding him on offense, mind you.
I saw Romo make it work with Marion Barber and Felix Jones and Demarco Murray. And whoever was backing up Demarco when he was hurt - Joseph Randle and some other scrubs.
I saw Romo make Miles Austin a Pro-Bowler and a $60mil man. He made Laurent Robinson a $24mil man or around there. Set a league record for most TDs over 3 years with TO. Set a league record for most TD connections over 5 years with Dez.
What Dak doing? Witten numbers down, TWill numbers down. Does Cole Beasley still exist? Dez fell off when Dak took over and now he's gone. Who the fukk is Ryan Switzer?
Quick, get Dak some more OLinemen and RBs and Julio and Odell. Maybe he can take the next step then.
At least Romo took the shytty rotten lemons Garrett gave him and made lemonade. Dak just serves up the shytty rotten lemons as is.
But go ahead and drink the 13-3 and 9-7 koolaid. If you watched the games, it was clear he struggled mightily last year and he's not the Messiah everyone thought he was in 2016.
Nobody on offense is better because of Dak. Romo made everyone around him better and record setters.
