I keep heading about this CALF INJURY but I never seen Him limping . . . Could someone explain how the Calf is related to the Arm during Throws but doesn't affect walking or running

……the throwing is affected from when Dak tore his rotator cuff, labrum, and bicep tendon against the Rams in 2019…..and miraculously healed by the next game…..no doubt a nagging injury

He is such a flip flopper. He was down on Dak a few years ago. He goes on a winning streak and say he was wrong and that Dak is for real. Yes Dak played poorly but for sure was not helped by good O-Line and good playcalling. Moore and O-Line was as bad. When a team can simply rush 4 and have a QB bailing from the pocket on every pass play and never trailing by that much you have a OC calling long developing plays. If he threw dump offs and slants we had a chance to get going. Off tackle runs or toss plays. Someone said which curls were open all day. Never used the power formation we used during the winning streak. 12 personel.

And also somehow connected to his brain hindering his ability to read a defense...most strange
Its the last thing these fans of Dak can hang their Hats on

Mental . . its gotta be Mental. . . Nothing else makes sense to them . . .

Here is this top 5 QB that is so dominating and improving every year . . . yet he cant make any throws . . . except check downs.

These fans can't wrap their minds around this dilemma . . . and now they are resorting to blaming "No Confidence" & or "Depression" or any other Ambiguous "Psychological" Problems as the excuse for Dak

Meanwhile we have seen the same Dak for the last 7 seasons . . . its these New To Reality Fans that still cant admit that this is who Dak is . . . was . . . and will ever be

Dak’s horrible playoff performance will change the landscape of football. For every Mahomes/Allen you get a Dak/Watson (legal trouble)/Wentz/Goff/Ryan. Guys like Jackson, Murray, Mayfield will just be playing on their 5th year options and might get franchised Tagged after that. There is no way you give those guys big extensions now.

I’m with you just find it odd that since the ne he really hasn’t thrown the ball downfield. Wasn’t doing it much prior but still. Not sure why they don’t try and throw deep especially with man to man on the outside so much. Also they don’t even throw a back shoulder fade at all. Didn’t see them use it once this year. Romo was money at that and it’s such a great play to have.

Even us stupid folks understand losing 23-7 at HOME after 3 Quarters of football.......
Or would you prefer the GB playoff game losing 31-3 at the start of the 4th Q.
As you are a football expert can you tell us, stupid folks, where our QB was for the first 3 Q of these 2 above Playoff games at HOME?????
The "football experts" here lost their creditability when they tried to preach "Dak is elite".

They have chosen to forsake creditability in the name of defending their hero they were dead wrong about. At some point, Dak became more important to them than anything else. Some have seen the lights, but others are willing to go down with the Dak ship.

I hate to say this because I am a Dak Stan but the worst thing that happened to the Cowboys was Dak getting hurt last season. He was putting up garbage time stats and losing. I remember two games though that he should have won with his arm. The Rams and Seattle. Dak had a chance to win both games in the end but failed miserably. I believe Amari, CeeDee and Gallup were top 3 wideout units in 2020 but I realize a quarterback that can throw the football would get those guys the ball. If he played the whole season he would have been exposed as an average quarterback. Andy Dalton was so bad that he made Dak look like Dan Marino. We got hood winked, bamboozled, led astray, run amok, and flat out deceived. Dak’s agent sold us the swamp land in Florida for the price of real-estate in California.:omg::facepalm:
Andy Dalton started 9 games for us in 2020:

He had 14 TDs, 8 INTs, and threw for 2,100 yards. He also had 2 lost fumbles. So 14 TDs 10 turnovers.

Dak in 9 games after the Pats game and minus the Eagles practice squad joke of a game:

He had 16 TDs, 6 INTs, and threw for 2,300 yards. He also had 3 lost fumbles. So. 16 TDs and 9 turnovers.

There was literally not much difference at all from 2020 Andy Dalton and 2nd half of the season Dak. Also, add in the fact that Martin and Smith was missing games in 2020.

Its because Dak is incapable of this. . . He is not able to. . .

I personally would rather Him let it rip because of the athletic ability or the WRs 50 / 50 balls and pass interference are apart of the game in 2022 . . . I would much rather have a Brett Favre 35 td and 17 ints then a check down on 3rd and 10

Problem is Dak is so terrible with his accuracy more then likely the pass will not be a 50/50 ball . . .He slices (golf reference) His forced throws.

As far as the back shoulder reference . . . This has been the glaring issue.

While everyone claimed Dez was slow and cant run routes. . . . He was a Monster at the back shoulder fade . . . No one could stop it . . . yet Dak couldnt even throw it . . .

It got Dez kicked off the team and the 2nd Cowboy Hero in a row was unceremoniously attacked by Dak Fans as they were kicked to the curb

If you’re going to make factual statements, at least make sure the facts are correct. The Cowboys were down 21-13 at half and 28-13 at the start if the 4th quarter.

except for the the 2020 O-Line was in shambles and the Defense was not scoring and it did not get the ball back for the Offense.

But other then that its comparable

What some people fail to understand or choose not to believe is Dak just isnt that good. Every team loses but not the way the Cowboys lose. They have these games every season where Dak looks like a backup QB.

He just goes into a shell.

This was exactly the type of game I earned about with him
Before it ever even happened.


You get in a big game with Dak and he will take what the defense gives him all the way to an L.

Wins and losses aren't attributed to a single player unless you have a ridiculous agenda. And, it would be a genuine concern when you compare this cherry picked statistic with all other teams. Just singling out one QB in the NFL and throwing up over and over doesn't mean anything. Be honest and to a fair comparison. I bet you'll find it's pretty much the same thing across the NFL, minus the real elite teams/QBs like Brady, Rodgers etc..

That's true.

Martin was out. Smith was missing game.
Not to mention Dalton played with a team that did not have his back after the cheap shot.

Some call me a conspiracy theorist but I know there was a big contingency within that locker room that sided with Dak over Dalton


It was the 1st year Dak had any competition at QB. . . .(including the Garret No Competition Rule of 2016) . . . Now in 2020 playing with no contract and Dak breaks His leg . . . and here comes Texas Native Dalton all fired up . . . and He can offer the same level of play as Dak. . . At Half the Price

There was no way Zeke and the Boys were gonna give any sort of effort . . . How many Fumbles did Dak's BFF have last year . . . How slow and sluggish was he . . .

Dalton was in a no win situation

And if given the option I would rather have Dalton over Dak against San Fran.

They are at the same level except Dak shuts down against good teams.

At least Dalton has some dog in him

I hate to say I told you guys but I told you guys.

Good luck overcoming this deal. We’d be in a better position going forward if we were awful and possibly drafting a bigtime QB talent than being stuck with Dak at that price tag.

I doubt we put a team around him as good as this one anytime soon.
