Okay okay, I know enough already. But it's a sports site right? I won't argue in this thread. I'll just state my opinion and you can share yours.

I said this to my buddies way back when Prescott was flying high and replaced lovable loser Tony Romo. I said Romo is better. I saw Prescott thriving because of that dominant O line and Zeke. I also saw him missing Dez on deep routes that Romo always saw and hit. Not only missing Dez but just not seeing him. Weak field vision compared to Romo.

I've been a Cowboys fan for a long long time. After Romo left I was bitter. I was angry at Romo for stepping aside so graciously and easily. I still halfheartedly and grudgingly rooted for the Cowboys but now that Dez is gone too and Whitten, I have no reason to cheer for the Cowboys.


Maybe it's wishful thinking but I think they crash and burn this season. I even think Giants come in and beat them. I did bet the Giants +3. I could be way off. Maybe it's wishful thinking but this is my opinion.

My picks for this season is 1.Eagles 2.Giants 3. Redskins 4 Cowboys. Am I crazy? What would you guys have the division at?

I know Cowboys played a very tough Carolina defense and it was just week 1. This isn't a overreaction thread. I believe Cowboys will truly suck this season. Am I way off? This isn't like my Rodgers vs Brady thread. I am truly seeking some insight from people that might be following this team closely this season including preseason. Because I haven't been as much as I usually follow Dallas. I do plan on going back and watching the game vs Panthers before this Sunday but any thoughts?

Whatever. Time to crash. I'll check tomorrow and see if anybody has insight on them. I'll filter through the usual nonsense and snide remarks and cracks and try to find some useful information lol.

Prescott is Tim Tebow. Says it all. If he wasn't on Dallas I would kinda be rooting for him though. I hate Dallas

Bit of a false dichotomy considering Romo was made of glass and on his way out when they benched him for the Dak Attack.

And even if the NFL has caught up to Dak, hard to see Romo having a better 2016 season than him. And it would be hard to make the case that Dak is why Dallas lost in the playoffs to GB.

I'll agree that Prescott will never be as good as Romo was.

I want to say they need to give him more time because it's tough to find a qb in this league, but it seems teams are hitting on all these guys they've been drafting high the last 2-3 years.

Hey we'll trade ya Jameis Winston!

fully agree and I also said this almost right away. Dak is not what most Cowboys fan think he is (I am a Cowboys fan). No arm what-so-ever, in fact he was considered Tim Tebow when he came out.

Based on what we have so far obviously. We're talking about who would've been better for the Cowbody right now or the season Romo left. Get with the program lol. You are such a harmless troll. Work on that post count by any means necessary! Almost to 100,000! Lol.

But you wouldn't believe the hate and shock people expressed to me at the workplace and from my buddies back when Prescott Replaced Romo. It was the most outrageous statement to him. Look at Dak now.

Let's see if they keep focusing on Zeke and make Dak beat them. I bet Zak won't. Still, being fair, it was a very tough Panthers defense. Let's see what he does against the Giants. I am rooting against Dallas. Never liked Romo leaving that season. Romo had to run around for his life and make plays, all of a sudden he gets this formidable, dominant offensive line and he doesn't even get to enjoy it for very long. Dak plays behind it AND Zeke and people think he's the man in Dallas that season.

agree, but the O line they were touting as the best in the league was never the best in the league...some really good pieces and a good o line but way over hyped. 8-8 again like every god damn yr for 20+ years (as it seems)

Tony found his niche, he's better at talking about the game then winning at the game

Won't be hard for Dak to exceed Tony's career accomplishments in the post season

Are they even going to sniff the post season this season? I don't think so. I could be wrong but I think Cowboys finish last in the division. Maybe 2nd last but my guess is last.
