I catch your drift....no doubt, Tony Romo can (and has) made throws that Dak has yet to show he can make (doesn't mean he can't make them; just means he hasn't done it YET).
But, for argument's sake, let's look at the Big Picture if you really want to compare QB's.
First off, Dak has 4 professional football regular season games under his belt. Romo's played 155 games to date.
In 2006 (Tony's 1st full season) he threw 19 tds and 13 int's. He finished that season hitting 65% of his passes with a 95.1 QB ranking. Overall, not too bad.
On the flipside, Dak might not throw an INT all season (I jest but my point is, he's cognizant of the fact that turn overs are drive killers). To date, he's completed 68% of his attempts and has a sweet 98.5 QB ranking.
Going into the Cincy game this Sunday, the Cowboys are operating with the #2 ranked offense in the NFL (averaging 396 ypg) and are second in the league rushing the ball (149 ypg).
Oh, btw, Dallas also happens to lead the league in 3rd down conversions (50%)....converting a little over 7 of 14 per game thus far. Move the sticks....fresh set of downs....own the clock.
Point is, behind this fine O-line and the #4 pick in the draft toting the ball, Dak doesn't have to turn chicken crap into chicken salad like Romo's been asked to do these past ten years. All he has to do is be efficient, change the play if the defensive alignment calls for it, and most of all: take care of the football.
Romo did not do that particularly well his first two years.....look it up; Tony threw 35 Int's his first two seasons in the league.
As I said before, Dak may set a new standard around here per that particular stat.
