Before we talk about 5 rings for Dak, Can we just get one first? :crazy:

It was an exaggerated hypothetical... :lol:

Dak *might* win one...no QB can string together 5 in today's NFL

Thought that was obvious enough

I hope for the first time in nine years I'm wrong about Dak. Hate to waste this ultra talented team we have this year. Dak should have a field day against the Egals next week. Their defense can be had.

You're wrong about Dak regardless of the outcome. It's very possible to win a ring with Dak just like it was very possible to win a ring with Romo.

Unfortunately for both of them this game is much more than a tennis match between two QBs....like WAY WAY more.

We don't need to rehash all this again though...

He’s being sarcastic. I doubt his opinion of Dak has changes at all. Mine either. I expected this and he still has to prove he can win in the post season.


I mean Kirk cousins was leading the league in passing before his injury wasn’t he?

I definitely think dak is playing well, but he has a lot to prove before he changes his Kirk cousins comp

For me the comp is Tony Romo but I agree 100%

I remember being more scared of romo. Plus romo played at a time when the defense weren’t as lenient due to poor changes to defensive officiating

They are similar though but I remember thinking romo could flat out ball whereas dak I’m always like eh good quarterback

It is funny though, I just realized how similar purdy is to romo

They’re not the same in their style. Romo was much more of a gun slinger and had much better pocket awareness and escapability. Romo had a better deep ball too.

They’re the same though in that during the regular season they play great. They will put up great numbers and can/have had 12, 13, 14 win seasons. Dak has even been in the MVP convo. They haven’t had much playoff success though. For whatever reason/excuse they just can’t get over the hump. Romo never did. Dak still has a chance but if he wants to do it as a Cowboy for the rest of his career he has to play well in the playoffs this off season (in my opinion).

Even Craig Morton was better. At least he got us to a Super Bowl before choking it away all by himself. Very similar to Dak's performance against the Whiners last year.

Danny White took them to 3 straight NFC Championship games.

Dak has 10 games with 400+ passing yards, that is more than all other Dallas QBs in franchise history combined. He is going to own all Dallas QB records.

"different era" sure...but Romo is the same era. Dak is better than Romo IMO and I am a huge Romo fan.

If we are being realistic though the previous generations were much lesser talent at every position, including QB. Today's players are so much bigger and faster, and the playbooks are so much more complex.

You go back far enough and you'll find lineman that are smaller than some of today's QBs....all smoking cigarettes on the sideline...waiting for the game to end so they can rush over to their other job.

Of course he will. Pass happy league now with all the new rules favoring offense. On top of that they are playing 17 regular season games now with an extra playoff round. Back after the merger, teams were only playing 14 game seasons and only 4 teams made the playoffs in each conference. Its really hard to compare numbers and stats when today's QB's over a 10 year career get to apply an extra 30 games to their regular season stats.

I think that Dak and Romo can be compared on a "per" basis.

Same era

As the years have passed and everything we've been through under the Jerry curse for the last 28 years, those 3 years are starting to stand out more and more now.

Eagles signed Shaq Leonard

I don’t believe a signing like this will make any major difference. However like suh and Joseph last year I think he can at least settle things down at LB

He’s not going to be the Leonard of old. But like when the eagles lost Jordan Davis and things went to hell. I think losing Cunningham had hurt and I think Leonard can relax that. And once Cunningham comes back you have the best LB corp in the nfl circa 2021 lol and hopefully for 2023 you have a couple of guys who know exactly where to be and what to do based on formation and play call.

It should settle things down which will help

Yes everything I’ve been hearing is he’s pretty washed and is pretty beat up this year. He should provide some decent backup depth but I don’t expect he will make a huge impact. I was expecting the same even before he sign with the Eagles.

I think he’ll provide what suh and Joseph provided last year

Stability. He can’t be worse than morrow

Morrow was targeted 8 times for 6 receptions and 175 yards against the niners which is nuts lol

He’s been a good blitzer and ok in the run game but he’s been terrible in coverage.

I think Shaq can at least be better than that. I think he’s graded out well in coverage this year.

Again I see him as no more than stable. For however washed he may be he doesn’t have to do much to be better than what they have with Cunningham out. Once Cunningham is back then I think the eagles can start Leonard and Cunningham and at minimum have 2 guys who know what they’re doing. Cunningham having actually played very well prior to his injury.

Well lol

He can be both washed and what we need

If morrow and a undeveloped Christian Ellis are the barometer than Leonard basically just has to be reasonably startable to be an upgrade

That’s the sad situation the LB room is in

Ellis is basically Tj edwards back in 2019 where you’re like that guy has something but not there yet

And morrow is basically good at blitzing. That’s it

If Leonard is just within range of Cunningham then it’s an upgrade over what they have

Losing TJ has honestly proven to be worse than we thought
