DeAngelo Williams rips Dak on radio show

[StarOfGlory]

I was listening to one of the Sirius NFL shows when Williams popped up as a guest speaker. Here are a few of his comments about Dak:

• I've been saying all along, Dak is a game manager.
• Dak can't win a game like a Brady can.
• Zeke is the reason more than Dak that the Cowboys won so much last year
• There's a reason Dak was only a 4th round pick. You saw why yesterday

One freaking bad game and the cockroaches come out of the woodwork.

It's all true if he doesn't prove him wrong. I hope Dak makes him stick his words where the sun don't shine!

Here's the reality that people don't want to grasp.

The assumption by a lot of people has been that Dak has been a product of the Cowboys system and Elliott and the OL. It's up to Dak to change that narrative that had formed heading into this season.

Through 2 games, he's done nothing to change that narrative. That's reality. I know it bothers some of you but that's because some struggle to break out of their fandom and look at things from an unbiased perspective.

Now some here are down on him and some have even pretty much written him off. I have not. He played well too many times last year, made too many big throws for me to think he's just a small time game manager QB. But even I have some concerns right now............... he's not the QB we saw last year. He seems hesitant to throw the ball more than 7 yards down the field, quickly looking for his dump off. He also seems skittish in the pocket all of a sudden.

This is a very big game coming up for Prescott. If he struggles again, against what is a good secondary, smart fans will start to get concerned.

 

[Doomsday]

Bull, he is just having some accuracy issues this season. I love how quick every one is pile on, he is a young QB there are going to be some ups and downs.

 

[Bigdog]

People said that Brady was a product of Belicheck's system when he was first the starting qb for the Pats.

 

[cowboyblue22]

its up to dak to change this out look and so far its what he is the game a Denver was a huge chance to change that thinking he failed the test

 

[Staubacher]

It absolutely true that Zeke/running game monster success last season made Dak and the passing game so much better. But Dak still had to execute and he did.

The drama is building and it's exciting!!

 

[SultanOfSix]

Nothing gets media hits like Cowboys negativity.

 

[bayeslife]

It is what it is. His kind will crawl back into their holes when Dak isn't playing the best passing defense in the NFL.

 

[Zordon]

People are actively trying to believe the worst in this kid. Why so much hate?

That's an overreaction.

Why do people ignore reality? He's not played well thus far, certainly not as good as last year. In his worst game, the running game was shut down that simply adds credence to the belief some have that if the Cowboys can't run the ball, Dak can't then operate.

So, I assume Williams knows Brady was a 6th round pick. I assume there's a reason why. Right Deangelo???

Agreed, he's the QB for the Dallas Cowboys and so the scrutiny will be loud and unfair. The beauty of it all is that what everyone says doesn't matter, outcomes speak louder than words.

 

[Clarkson]

People are ridiculous. Dak is a 2nd year QB. He's not the best he'll ever be. He's still learning and getting better. He's going to struggle, especially against two of the better defenses in the league. The rush to label him a game-manager is based on him being a Cowboy. Wentz doesn't get this much hate. Goff doesn't get this much attention. And they were #1 & 2 overall who haven't performed as well as Dak. Dak wasn't a game manager last year. Sure, playing in this system will boost anyone's numbers. But to say he's simply a game-manager and nothing more is just dumb and is done out of hate, a desire for clicks, or both.

 

[silver]

He hates the Cowboys. The same argument can be made about Eli and Peyton and virtually every QB that's ever played. They said the same things about Troy and worse things about Romo. It's a team game. All I can say is that we'll be fine.

 

[THEHEREAFTER]

Is he really stating that Dak isn't Brady? Interesting how Dak is held to a Brady standard? Doesn't take a genius to figure out why Dak is met with such scrutiny.

 

[perrykemp]

I agree with this.

I think this dog-pile of press/analysts on Dak's recent performances is really related to the expectations put out there this offseason of Dak already being a Top 5 type of QB.

I think Dak is going to be just fine, and I'm also realistic that he is going to have to take his lumps, get better, learn, and evolve.

 

[Romo_To_Dez]

His second game in his second season. I hope that Dak makes all of his doubters eat crow.

People said that Brady was a product of Belicheck's system when he was first the starting qb for the Pats.

He is and he isn't.. put him on a team with an average OL and Jason Garrett as an OC..

 

[iceberg]

he had the same accuracy issues last year, we as a team just got away with him.

he's young. he's been very impressive so far. anyone dogpiling him really doesn't deserve a response.
