The 2014 offense wasn't better than the 1993 offense. Go back and watch tape from that era of Aikman getting destroyed for 12 sacks by Philly, or Irvin getting smacked after a reception. If they had today's flag football rules in 1993, the passing game would have been as all time great as the running game was
I'm just gonna say, you cannot compare the two teams or the players do to how different the rules are.
You're barking up the wrong tree. I am and always have been a Romo fan. I was calling for him to be drafted. Problem is even if you simply time traveled Romo back or Roger or Troy forward there's no guarantee of success. Do I think all would be good NFL QBs yes, but I won't guarantee it. You're being outlandish saying Romo is better on stats alone compared to 20 and 35 years ago.
But your still trying to compare him to the past by your ending. I have always said and I really do see Romo as a SB capable QB. He never had a complete team a r ound him, he had some offensive but never great O talent until now that he's way past his prime. Plus the team D has been average to below average his whole career. I understand what you're saying about Romo but we don't know how he'd play if the D was allowed to tee off on him. Gotta remember Roger and Troy played when QB''s weren't protected.
Really?
Yes Really. I read up in him and wanted him badly as the Cowboys QB.
Exactly. I love Romo, but lets be honest, if he were taking all the shots a guy like Aikman took(with just as good an OL), he'd have been retired at 31-32 at the most. That's not conjecture, that's a fact
Two years ago, when the Cowboys lost to Green Bay in the playoffs, I believe the only two QB's who played at a higher level all year were Rodgers and Brady
Wow. I never heard anyone say that before. Especially since the buildup to the draft and knowledge of marginal players was nothing at all like what it is today. I don't think I had ever heard the name Romo until I saw him in a preseason game.
I caught an article on him being a sleeper from b a small school. Searched a few other articles and almost everything was positive. I can't remember all but one thing most articles said is he'd be a mid round pick if he were at a larger school. I was pissed after the draft, until he signed as a FA.
