There was a reason Dak was not drafted before the 4th round

[CowboyGil]

AR went through a similar funk last season. He just played his way through it. The kid has 21 starts under his belt. Pump the brakes.

 

[WillieBeamen]

Looks more like the safety lays him out as soon as he catches it.

Lol no way.

Look at where the safety is. If Dak hits him in stride, dez probably hits his head on the goal post. Either way, score or no score, we probably win if dak hits the pass and theres no int thrown on this drive.

I never ever ever ever ever ever compared him to Tom Brady and never ever will. Just saying. So im not sure if that was for me. It just drive me nuts to listen to people here ram down our throat he is a top 5 QB and we would win 14 games. Thats all that drove me nuts. Thats all. Its frustrating for all cowboys fana no matter how you feel. Thats all. It sucks for all of us.

Never seen you in this forum or one of your posts. So i dont know what ur talking about in referencing you.

And I've never seen anybody say he was a top 5 QB. What i have seen is people say he's one of the best young QBs in the NFL. And isnt he? People like you want to say he's taken a step back. People who think level headed take other factors into account. Maybe like saying Dallas has played against 4 really good defenses? Maybe people like me see that there really is no WR getting open. And maybe me myself see teams taking away his good route runners like Witten and Beasley away, and living with guy that run bad routes in Dez and TW.

Me i think there are 4 facotrs in Dallas' slow start. And while Dak has had some bad throws, and some missed chances its nothing overwhelming or something thats costing this team wins.

1. Injuries and suspensions. All these guys missing time is effecting the defense. Dallas is playing thru it but add in Irving, Moore and a healthy Hitchens and secondary and this team i think is 3-1 no doubt about it. I dont know bout that Broncos game, but i will say Dallas matched up good until Carroll and Awuzie went down. Some of this is self inflicted in the suspensions, and some bad luck in injuries. This IMO is the biggest reason Dallas has 2 losses.

2. Coaching, these coaches just dont seem to want to adjust in game. It just looks like theyre saying "we arent changing anything stop us if you can". Since the WRs arent beating coverage i have no idea how they cant run bunches to one side to open up their go to route as every team seems to do in todays game. One everybody uses and nobody seems to be unable to stop is the TE running a in route and a speedy slot WR following him and going behind the TE to open field as the TE takes the def priority. Easy first downs. And it seems teams run this at will on Dallas and every other NFL team so it works, but it seems the coaches are unwilling to evolve.

3. Ezekiel Elliot is a distraction. Believe it or not he is. He's young and made stupid choices, but he's still making them stupid choices. This NFL investigation started when he was drafted. And instead of laying low he was in the headlines in 3-4 more situations since then. And he can dismiss talk about him not being in better shape, but thats obvious. He's missed long runs and couldnt burst because the burst isnt there. i hope he gets back to being dedicated and realizing he's playing a game and making millions to earn a living. When he could very well be washing cars.

4. Nobody is getting open, These WR's and even Witten have to give Dak a target. Not remain stationary. Find them spots and beat your guy.

He's not Tony Romo. He was never going to be that kind of a passer. Few guys are.


To me he's a better Russell Wilson.

RW throws in tighter windows, which explains why he has games where he throws like 4 INTs..

 

[khiladi]

Dak was the most accurate passer last year OFF of play-action. If people don't think a majority of his success last year and poor play this year isn't because of Zeke and his 5 YPC average on first down last year, they on crack..

 

[khiladi]

Dez scores here with a better throw

Dez is great on the slant..

 

[River82]

Dez scores here with a better throw

No he doesn't. He'd be tackled shortly after the catch

 

[bodi]

There was a reason Tom Brady wasn't drafted until the 6th round............................and?

unbelievable he's no Tim Brady

 

[Broges74]

Dez scores here with a better throw

Happens to every QB in the league, every game.

 

[bodi]

Garrett's offense doesn't change, and doesn't do anything that might be considered slick or tricky, because that wouldn't be fair to the defense.

.

COACHING: F - The Cowboys made no halftime adjustments, unlike the Rams, who found a way to move the ball on offense and stone Dak Prescottt and Ezekiel Elliott in the third quarter

 

[Broges74]

Dak is playing well enough that if things around him go like they did last year we'll win a lot if games.

Dak is playing poorly enough that if things around him don't go like they did last year we'll be in many coin flip games.

Which hey fair he's a 4th round qb in his 2nd year. But the dame people who are quick to blame the OL or WR play are the same ones who said Dak was slighted when people didn't declare him a top 5 qb coming into this season based on his rookie year. You remember the thread with all the dog peeing on ESPN logo emojis.

People can't have it both ways. That in completion to Dez in the tweet above perfectly incapuslates what is wrong with our offense right now. It's just one play but it killed a long play, a drive and led to an int/points for the other team the next play. Those are the plays that are made that win or lose a game.

And when you're unsure if your qb can consistently hit a pass 7 yards downfield that's.... Frustrating.

Brady:


Rodgers:



All these throws are 7-14 yards and very poor.

Do.Not.Care


My only concern is what the QB on my favorite team does/fails to do.

Keep making excuses tho

 

[tyke1doe]

I like Dak and think he'll be a good one still.
But I had and have to laugh at those who said and still say if we had a draft do-over, Dak would have been picked over Wentz and Goff.
No, he wouldn't. He might have been taken in the first, but not in the top 5. Wentz would go first, then Goff.

 

[Fletch]

Wrong. Dude hangs in there. I haven't witnessed 'happy feet' at all.

Me neither. Agendas run rampant.

 

[Miller]

If Dak going in 4th is a reason to bail wouldn’t Romo being an undrafted FA caused him to be horrible? As I said the guy made plays

 

[River82]

If Dak going in 4th is a reason to bail wouldn’t Romo being an undrafted FA caused him to be horrible? As I said the guy made plays

And Brady in the sixth. There's a reason these guys were drafted so late - obviously they're horrible, all of them

 

[Blackspider214]

This fanbase is so dumb after a loss.

 

[Ranching]

unbelievable he's no Tim Brady

There's no one as good as Tim Brady. You dont like Dak, we got it. Should we start Moore? if not sit your *** down and shut up!!!!!!!!!

 

[ConceptCoop]

There was a reason Tom Brady was not drafted before the 6th round.

 

[River82]

There was a reason Tom Brady was not drafted before the 6th round.

"Poor build, Skinny, Lacks great physical stature and strength, Lacks mobility and ability to avoid the rush, Lacks a really strong arm, Can’t drive the ball downfield, Does not throw a really tight spiral, System-type player who can get exposed if forced to ad lib, Gets knocked down easily"

That's Brady's combine report xD
