Gallup's numbers should rival Cooper's

[Keithfansince5]

there are at least 3 80 yard TD's that Gallup would have now if he had a good QB throwing it to him now. Dak has over thrown Gallup every single time. The lame excuse that he is used to Cooper's speed is just that lame. Dak over threw Gallup several times prior to having Cooper on the team.

It is always the same route too, the out and up. If Dak cannot get that ball to Gallup then heck let Cooper run it. Teams bite on it big time because normally Dak is throwing the turn around route.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

Not all of those were on Dak.

Right. I heard Greg Jennings speak on it as well. Its the simple rookie mistakes that Gallup is making that's causing some of those over throws. But when you sit and watch the telecast all you see is Gallup reaching out and the pass is over thrown. Its more than just Dak on those plays.

Very deep WR draft class.

Could easily name 10-15 rookies having good years, for a rookie

Looking forward to seeing Gallup’s progress

All those rookies look good. I'm not sure which one has "star" potential though. I remember reading reports that Ridley was the best prospect but there were some guys who were just as good or may have better careers. DJ Moore may be one of those guys.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

Deep sideline throws are about the easiest downfield throw a QB can make. Especially to a guy running 5 yards by defenders.

Yeah you are full of crap but keep posting that. ITs probably easy for you to make on Madden but its more than about just getting a defender one on one and out running him.

 

[CATCH17]

WE should've seen this several times this season.

 

[Runwildboys]

That's just not true and you only have to go back to the last game and see Gallup in loads of space in the middle of the field and watch Dak throw it 10 feet over his head for a INT.



Gallup has been tremendous as a rookie and he has high upside and could be on par with Cooper at some point in his career.


People want to put a limit on the type of upside Michael Gallup has but the only thing that has limited him so far is Dak's ability to throw the football.


"Oh he's just a #2 receiver anyways." "He'll never be a #1."

Blah blah blah. Gallup has legit talent and could be one of the better receivers in the NFL and he could've been one of the more productive WR's in the NFL THIS SEASON if Dak could throw him the football.

Gallup certainly deserves better opportunities to prove himself.

In the limited time they had....Dak had no problem throwing the deep ball to Tavon Austin either. Its not even about blaming Gallup. HE's a rookie. But there is a reason why Dak can essentially connect with Cooper and even Austin on deep balls and can't with Gallup. And this staff knows it. But fans in their basement are the smartest guys in the room so I'll let you keep telling us how much Dak sucks.

Quincy Carter could make that throw. Chad Hutchinson could make that throw. Jeff George.

It's easy. Maybe the coverages bring down completion percentage but throw deep down the sideline is known to be an easy throw.

Downfield over the middle of the field is the more difficult throws or an out route downfield that requires timing. This is known.

 

[Runwildboys]

Barkley has the OROY wrapped up, Mayfield has been good but no where near him.

Huge Gallup fan, now they just need to find a TE to compliment him and Cooper.

Our TEs definitely showed up against the Eagles. I think we have a decent group, even with Swaim out.

I'm not saying for certain, but from what I've seen, Dak has a harder time down the right sideline, and that seems to be where Gallup goes long.

Isn't that where him and Cooper have connected? On the right sideline?

 

[Irvin88_4life]

This is true but, I think it's fair to say that most of them probably were.

JMO

I can are with this. Most of them have been on Dak but I think it's more of a chemistry issue. Gallup and Dak need to work on timing and get better chemistry and then those passes will start hitting home. Also seems Cooper is much faster so Dak puts more on it, Dak has to figure out what speed Cooper and Gallup go and throw a different pass to each receiver.

Well that is mighty big of you to ALLOW me to share my viewpoint.

Of course downfield in the middle is the more difficult throw but have you seen the route these guys run? These guys don't even run down the field middle routes lol. They only run routes on the sideline and it was that way even when Romo was here.

 

[Runwildboys]

Isn't that where him and Cooper have connected? On the right sideline?

I think he's connected more with Coop on the left, but I can't say my memory is completely accurate on that.

 

[Clarkson]

there are at least 3 80 yard TD's that Gallup would have now if he had a good QB throwing it to him now. Dak has over thrown Gallup every single time. .

lmao, false. please cite them. and please also cite the average completion% on this type of throw. to suggest that a "good" QB completes this throw every time is ludicrous.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

Well that is mighty big of you to ALLOW me to share my viewpoint.

I wasn't "allowing" you. I was stepping out of the way and letting you do do what you do without interruption...is that bad?

 

[Keithfansince5]

Isn't that where him and Cooper have connected? On the right sideline?

Yeah, where Cooper has to adjust his route to the poorly thrown ball and Cooper is good at it. The ONLY pass Dak has thrown well to Cooper in stride was the 28 yard TD pass. That was what a well thrown ball looks like. Sadly, it is the only one. All the rest Cooper had to adjust too and thankfully he is real good at it.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

I think he's connected more with Coop on the left, but I can't say my memory is completely accurate on that.

Mine is too but I know this last game for sure he connected on the right sideline to him. He hit Tavon Austin on that sideline too for him to drop the touchdown.

A wide receiver had to adjust to a pass thrown by his qb. What a foreign concept........its crazy that Dak's receivers are the only ones who have to adjust to his deep passes.....

Why say I'll let you then? Seems straight forward to me.
