Yep. Only took Romo 4 years learning on the bench and holding a clipboard before getting his shot.

Meanwhile, Dak gets thrown into the mix right outta the gate. Nice try though. Lol
If Romo were still playing and Dak was on the bench, everyone would be saying, "put Dak in"!! I must say though, when Bledsoe was in I was the one yelling, put Romo in!!! lol
I am guilty as charged.

I honestly believe Dak is the real deal. jmho

I don't recall him having pocket issues his rookie year.
Tyron missed half of 2017, Cooper/Chaz green were terrible, Collins was a first year tackle playing the gauntlet. Best pass pro RB in the league missed 6 games. It happens.

Ben had 30.

In Ben's first two seasons the Steelers ranked 1st in the NFL in rushing attempts, and 32nd in the NFL in pass attempts.

Decent player to compare Dak to since they were both drafted to a team committed to the running game. The Cowboys ranked 2nd in rush attempts in 2016, and 30th in pass attempts. last year they ranked 5th in rush attempts and 29 in pass attempts.

When a WR cannot make a catch be it a poor pass, tipped or got run off route he can make an attempt to play defender if an opposing player is in position or has the potential to make a play on the ball.
Pretty simple stuff. Making it harder for a defender to intercept for example, by hitting the ball down instead of up. Another way is to not give up on a broken play.

Okay...none of that was an issue in any of the interceptions, so I don't get why you bring it up.

Obviously, they are not trying to hit the ball up. It's a natural when trying to catch a ball (trying to knock it down is different from trying to catch it).

I disagree, it was an issue on more than one occasion. You just don't see it or aren't aware, which is fine.

Watch the second Denver pick. His effort to make a tackle to avoid a long INT return was a disgrace. The guy was a cancer. So glad he is gone.

Yeah. I was not a Dez fan for many reasons. Watching those ints reaffirmed I was so right.

These Dak debates always kill me because we know he is going to be our qb and we know he's probably going to be here for the next two years. So what is the debate?

It's always funny to me because Dak had arguably one of the best rookie campaigns of all time. But people judge him based on his sophomore year. Meanwhile, guys like Mariota get the benefit of the doubt and Derek Carr. For some reason Dak is asked to chase the ghost of Romo when Romo himself in the scheme of things accomplished two playoff wins throughout his caree and was plagued by poor throws throughout his 20s and early 30s. But people chose to remember Romo for his 2014 season.
So as a fan, accept trash and be a blind homer is a better strategy?


Good to know

Please clarify which interceptions. It seems you want the WR to try and bat the ball down instead of try and catch it. It's the only thing that makes sense based on what you said, but I can't for the life of me figure out why you wouldn't want a WR to try and catch the ball.

There were definitely times when WRs broke up ints and saved Dak some worse numbers. Wasn't really an option with these plays except maybe the SD one, and it looked like Bease tried.

This isn't rocket science. Just admit you're unaware of the idea and move on. Why is it so important for you to prove you're right when you clearly haven't a clue?
Stop twisting my words. I never said I wanted the WR to NOT catch the ball. You said it "seemed" that way to you. Then, suggest that's what I said. False.

Read my post, #78. Again. I'm not repeating myself to someone with tunnel vision.

In all fairness to Dezzy-Poo, that game was already over, even if we got a TD at that point instead. No point in diving and risking injury in garbage time.

The joke was on Lady JaGa for even having Dak in the game at that point. Von Miller was on fire and it was La'el's second career game playing tackle trying to stop Miller.

(Side note: that's not a knock on La'el. Fredbeard is a great center, right? Well, his second career game playing center, he got absolutely owned up the middle by a screeching Dontari Poe in KC. Poe jailbreak sacked Romo twice and knocked him down twice more, making Frederick look like a matador on all four plays. When you're new at something, it happens)

In Dak's first two seasons, the Cowboys ranked 1st in the NFL in rushing attempts and 31st in the NFL in passing attempts.

I went back and edited my post...I saw 2nd and 30th respectively. So similar situation for these two entering their careers....very run heavy teams drafted them

Typical of you. Never a congnizant point, just ramblings with no basis in fact.

The video is like 2 minutes long. It's 13 plays. It's right here in this very thread. Is it that difficult for you to point out where any of your jibberish applies to a specific play in question? Just one?

Your asinine platitudes about WR behavior that don't apply to any of the plays in question is not helpful.

I am not twisting your words. I am making a conclusion about the comments you have made. Putting them together, that is the only logical conclusion. It's not a conclusion I understand, but you keep going out of your way to avoid making a simple clarification and provide any logical fact based point or an example of what you mean.

Don't get all upset because I'm right and you can't back-up your assertions.

Just an FYI, there's 11 other videos that could be put together showing starting QBs with 13 or more INTs. 4 of them were in the playoffs.
