I recall seeing " highlights" of the games and him dropped back in the pocket just HEAVE LAUNCHING 60 yard deep strikes

Yeah I'm not sure if those highlights told the true story. I loved watching McNair play but he wasn't considered a accurate passer by any means.

From the results from last game, more fans will be wanting Dak to become a more of a running quarterback. Fans have been calling for him to run more to take pressure off of his throws. Is this going to lower his longevity in the NFL.

He's not a pocket passer so what would you call him?

Right now he’s the 26th ranked passing QB in the league and has been at about that level for almost a year.

But I’ve heard “ Hybrid” as a description for Dak.

All I know is he’s more effective when he runs the ball more.

 

[Diehardblues]

As far as longevity or running more shortening his career??

How long of a career did you think he will have if he doesn’t run the ball more?

Would we rather have a few great years or 10+ average years?

Do what makes you most effective and manage the effects.

All successful QBs eventually learn to play from the pocket.

I'm no scout, I'm just an average fan. I would say he's no dual threat quarterback. I think he's more of a run quarterback. From your chart, it looks like a quarterback last on average 4.4 years?

Dak is not a running QB.

Ya he's a "Pocket Passer" know for his deadly accuracy and poise in the pocket........

Steve Young ran for over 4K Yards..

How many realized Young ran that much.

No one as Steve Young could also Pass......

Young was a very good runner. He was a pass first QB who ran for a lot of easy first downs when the D played coverage and if they were foolish enough to try to stop him from running he threw it to the receivers they let go.

Not long

I'm pretty sure Archie Manning is the most games under .500 in QB record. QB who lose a lot of games tend to lose their job. Same with coaches.

Tom Brady is proving running QBs can have a long shelf life if they take care of themselves.

 

[Chuck 54]

Yep he ran upright and took some serious shots ....

Cunningham, Young, Vick, McNair, Wilson, Newton....and Flutie, Landry, Harbaugh, Elway, Tarkenton, Staubach.

Try naming running QBs who didn’t last in the NFL due to health....not easy. The statue in the pocket guys often are gone due to injury more than the mobile QBs. And with modern medicine, when a mobile/running QB doesn’t last, it’s not because of the occasional injury. It’s because he couldn’t pass and didn’t win.

 

[Captain-Crash]

Vince Young, Johnny Manziel, and Tim Tebow didn't last because of throwing issues. Running was no problem.

 

[Clove]

Elway
Tarkenton
Staubach
Young

Just to name a few.

 

[CowboysFaninHouston]

Cam Newton has been playing for 7 seasons now.

cam can throw from the pocket. its not just about running being your biggest weapon...you have to be able to pass as a QB to suceed

 

[CowboysFaninHouston]

Steve Young ran for over 4K Yards..

How many realized Young ran that much.

he was also extremely accurate and great from the pocket...lets not forget that piece of trivia

 

[CowboysFaninHouston]

Elway
Tarkenton
Staubach
Young

Just to name a few.

all, were also great accurate passers from the pocket....and they scrambled more so than run...

Do people think Mike White was drafted by accident? If the Cowboys really thought they were set with two young QBs already on the roster, why draft another one?

They had their doubts, regardless of what Jerry says publicly. Dak is the guy for now. Whether he's still the guy two years from now remains to be seen, so play to his strengths and get the most out of him. He's not shown enough yet to be worried about protecting him for a decade.
