Twitter: Troy Aikman on Cee Dee Lamb

[MajesticRey]

How many excuses you going to make for your ‘elite’ QB?

Who said Dak was elite?

 

[JohnnyHopkins]

Man am I happy Troy said that out loud so the Dallas media can hopefully hound Jerry and the coaches about it. It was ridiculous how criminally underutilized CeeDee and Cooper were the second half of the season when guys like Jefferson, Adams and Hill get balls thrown their way.

 

[Legend]

Dak should seek Troy’s guidance like Parsons does with Ware.

Plenty of folk on here, only to start backtracking and pretending like they never said it. Guys on here literally compared him to Brady. It’s like the folk on here claiming Garrett has always been a problem, while when he was here, used to call him the next Tom Landry.

 

[Swagger]

Again this comes back to a lack of football IQ on Dak Prescott. Not a lack of intelligence, but football IQ and a natural understanding of the game. I also think the three interceptions he threw for the Bulldogs against Alabama in 2014 changed him to the current ultra conservative QB.

 

[conner01]

How can you blame Moore? He's calling plays that get guys open. He can't throw it to them too.

That’s the question
Are they getting open
Just because a guy has single coverage doesn’t mean he’s getting open

 

[khiladi]

Lamb was the most targeted WR on this team at 120 targets. Amari was at 104, with Schultz.

Interesting....where are the coaches, pounding this over and over. One word......accountability. Some players need hard coaching....

Kellen Moore's been a big part of this issue. if this was Romo he would ignore the paly calls in those moments and feed the open receiver. no run game eytc i dont think Moores the right fit her and hope he leaves on his own. dak needs new voice and new offsense to get him out of his comfort zone.
however, we lost this game because the OL couldn't block or open holes and had how many penalties like 7? the DL had 3 offsides penalties? can't win against equal talent when you make the big mistakes.

I haven’t personally seen anyone specifically say that he’s elite or saying he’s like Brady, but if they did then they are certainly delusional.

doesn't matter if the OL doesn't block long enough and daks running and half the field gets taken away, hard to wait on wr to come open when the OL isnt doing their job.

If you are relatively new to the site, you haven’t. But it’s been said multiple times he was elite and compared to guys like Tom Brady. Now a lot of these same posters are acting like they never claimed he was top-tier, while defending him for years like a top-tier QB.

 

[gmb1]

We get it Troy, you were the man and way better than Dak.

 

[khiladi]

Romo would kill under Moore’s offense, with the looks Dak sees.

 

[CouchCoach]

Interesting that Romo didn’t harp on that because he would have been making them pay if they singled Owens or Bryant.

Lamb is a rac guy, should have had at least 10 targets.

Romo learned how to throw receivers open from Keyshawn and Prescott should have learned this by now.

Isn’t it odd that the most difficult pass for both of these QB’s to throw are the crossers and slants and Aikman made his living with those?

.....people desperate to convince Dak is legit....

 

[NumOneQB]

I heard the interview on the ticket this morning and in this instance, Troy never said anything negative about any of the players. He clearly talked about scheme and overthinking game plans. Soft corner play and not adjusting to it on the fly with better routes. He also said they would’ve thrown Irvin’s way 10 times in the first half. Of course, a select few always want to make it about Dak. Funny how that goes…..

 

[khiladi]

Remember year 3 with Dak when the media was celebrating his first TD thrown in training camp. I don’t care how bad of an NFL QB you are, this doesn’t happen unless you got serious issues.

And they think this guy can pick up a completely new offense, when Moore is basically in shotgun all the time for this QB?

A lot has been made recently of the fact that, until Sunday, Dak Prescott had yet to throw a single touchdown pass at camp during 11-on-11 drills.

Well, now that drought is officially over.

During Sunday’s practice, Prescott hit Geoff Swaim for his first training-camp touchdown pass.

[CATCH17]

Imagine thinking completion rates is wrong lol…

You really are clueless if you think completion % means anything now days. Everyone throws for 60%. It’s not impressive. But you’re clueless so your ignorance makes sense.

Over half the league completes 65% of their passes. It’s not meaningful.

Quit looking at Dak’s stats and watch him play a team that doesn’t suck.

 

[CATCH17]

.....people desperate to convince Dak is legit....

And Dak was fine when he was making no money.

But our stupid management paid him like he’s one of the best QBs in football and now we are screwed because of a deal that looked like Tad Prescott put together.

 

[DuncanIso]

Some of Lambs catches were wiped out by penalties.

 

[McKDaddy]

Dak was terrified to throw the ball though Troy. That’s the difference.

He can’t let go of the ball until he sees a WR wide open.

Scheme, coverages, etc., matter not when your QB is unwilling & unable to deliver the ball.
