Danny White is to Troy Aikman
what
Tony Romo will be to Dak Prescott.
I am a Romo fan, but I have no qualms in saying that Dak Prescott is a better quarterback. I would take Dak any day of the week over Tony Romo.
I fully realize that New York and Washington are two of the weaker teams in the league, but this season feels a lot like 1992.
Last year felt like the 1991 season, and it really seems like this team is ready to take the next step.
Similar to 1992(when the 92 Cowboys got blown out at Philly) I fully expect this Cowboys team to get blow out on the road against New Orleans or Philly.
I think that sort of loss will the type of experience that draws the team closer, and rallies them to having a great season.
Travis Frederick makes such a huge difference in the offensive line. Joe Looney did an admiral job at center in 2018, but he is incapable of bulldozing defenders like Frederick routinely does.
Randall Cobb is an upgrade over Cole Beasley.
Its my belief that all four corner backs (Jordan Lewis, Byron Jones, Chido, and Anthony Brown) are better than all the corner-backs that played between 2012-2016.
The key to the season will be the defense. To truly be a championship caliber defense you should be in the top 5 in the league in sacks and turnovers.
The Dallas defense will have to force more turnovers if they are to take the next step in the post season.
Danny White couldn't win with championship caliber teams. Tony Romo consistently made 3-win teams look like division contenders.

It's not even a debate between Romo and Danny White. Danny had a great team around him, and may have even held them back. Romo consistently had to carry bad teams on his back, and he elevated them most years.
These two statements are really not true at all. Its become sort of an urban legend in an attempt to prop up Tony Romo's legacy.
The Cowboys had all sort of holes in their roster between 2010-2013.....
but From 2006 to 2009 the Dallas Cowboys had as much talent as anyone in the NFL. Tony Romo only led them to one playoff victory in those four seasons.
The Dallas Cowboys had the #2 ranked defense in 2009 so I do not want to hear that he never had a defense.
Romo played with Terrell Owens, Dez Bryant, Mile Austin, Marion Barber, prime Jason Witten...etc. Andre Gurode and Leonard Davis were pro bowl caliber offensive lineman.
I am comfortable after four seasons of watching Dak to say that he is superior to Tony Romo. He does not make the mistakes and turnovers that Romo always seem to make.
Dak's running ability is a huge weapon that Romo never had.
I think Tony Romo was a great player, but at the end of the day you are what your record says you are.
This Cowboys team is in a better position to win the Super Bowl because the quarterback position has been upgraded.
