This is a strange take given that Dak was drafted as a project to EVENTUALLY replace Romo. Year one or year three, at some point Dak was going to be given the reigns to this team or at least the opportunity to earn it. As for why Dak has always been the guy behind the starters.. I'm sure you already know the answer to that. One, Dak is not a "pretty" QB.. He's built different than most guys as the position and he delivers the ball differently. Some idiot "experts" and "fans" get too caught up in how it looks and don't focus enough on the end result. The second reason is that Dak apparently is not a great practice player.. He's just one of those guys who needs to have the lights on to perform at his best. There is no explanation for why some guys are like that, but it's absolutely a real thing. Once the ish gets real they just find a different gear. Dak is such a guy. Even this year there were reports that Dalton was outperforming him in practice.. which had the Dak haters all aflutter. Then the season started and Dak started breaking records.. so that bunch had to start rooting for us to lose or for Dak to get hurt so they could see their hero, who in their estimation is a "real QB" and who would pilot the offense to even greater heights.. Well they got two out of three right.. We ARE losing and Dak IS hurt.. as for that last one.. well.. you know.. You can't have everything..
