I am a smart guy, actually.
I got it, you've never heard of a college QB labeled as a bus driver.
I didn't see a question in there anywhere.
Weird you don't know the difference between a statement and a question.

Dak is a bus driver but its hard for people to see because the team around him is elevating him. Without this top 3 oline and top 3 running game this team is in trouble.

LOL...…….Oh yah all those great pass catchers the first half of last year were elevating Dak. LOL

And that 31st ranked pass blocking line was really making him so much better. Linehan, Garrett and that unpredictable, exciting scheme was the model of elevation.

Chaz Green coming in for Smith, elevation...……………….Zeke getting suspended for 6 games, total elevation.

But at least you nailed the importance of the Oline to the team part. We haven't had a top 3 Oline since 2016.

I'm starting with my answer......No ( two words.....his resume)





DAK is not a bus driver.

He is a playmaker.

If anybody was a bus driver..

It was Linehan.

His offense was stale and reapiticious and predictable.

Moore is going to be a big risk for us going forward.

Not sure who made this decision to hand things over to him..

but his success will make or break us.

Hoping this is not a Garrett decision becuz he does not know offense that well as he has shown.

The fact he thought Weeden was a good QB shows what he knows despite being a QB himself.

Not to mention the parade of QBs we had in 2015..what a disaster.

And of course, he has already been fired as the OC which is why Linehan was here.

Garrett is limited and I would be ready with a new plan at mid-season like they did with changing the OL coach last year if Moore proves not up to being the answer.

Caution folks.

If Moore has to be replaced..who?

Sanjay the WR coach?

Garrett?

Our new QB coach Kitna?

Who?

With all this mega-contract signing with DAK, Zeke and Cooper coming..

handing the keys to the offense with Moore maybe a poor move.

I do not care for Moore and how he played as a backup. He was a Linehan product.

That does not make me feel confident going forward.

This is where having Garrett should be an ace in the hole but it is not.

So Dak needs everything perfect around him to be good. My problem with Dak is when its not a perfect scenario around him the whole team gets raped.
2017 Falcons, Chargers, Eagles the Cowboys werent even competitive. the team was fully healthy against Denver and they were awful. Last year the Titans,Carolina, Texans, Dak wasnt very good. Dallas plays the Eagles and Falcons and gets a chance to avenge the beating they took the year before and what happens. The Eagles and Falcons are completely ravaged by injuries and Dallas barely escapes those games with a win. Wentz with a broken back took it to overtime. Even though Dak came on in the second half of the rams game it was the first half going 1-10 that did a struggling defense no favors. Dak rarely carries the team its usually the other way around against good teams.

Dak don't carry.... Dak just throws check-downs to pad his stats.I mean how many 3rd and 12 has he thrown the check-down ....:(
We get our A@@@ handed to us when Zeke or the Def isn't producing and that is something that only a blind Dak-crush fan will even attempt to argue about.

Another ignorant post. Stop with your childish "Dak-Crush" BS. Are you 12?

It's unrealistic at best, to assume a QB should carry the team, that's just dumb.

You hate Prescott, and nothing I say is going to make you be reasonable.

For example, the divisional playoff game vs. LA. The defense allowed 275 yards rushing. Elliott didn't even have 50 yards rushing.
There! Elliott and the defense didn't produce, yet Prescott put up 2 TDs and 266 yards. Not good enough? Go away.

Hmmmm
If it's unrealistic for him to carry the team.....why the wail for him to get paid 25 mill plus? Keep his cap hit low enough to put playmakers around him then

Rams showed clearly, they wanted the ball in daks hands, determined him to be less of a threat to takeover the game than Zeke.

It's simply a matter of market value. He will get paid what he's due. I think the QB market is ridiculous, but it's not up to me.

Prescott played well in the post season, I'm not sure what more fans want when the defense collapsed and we had no running game.

These are all great examples of the weaknesses Daks ability present in continuing to surround him with the level of talent needed to elevate his performance.

How much confidence do we have from our front office they’ll be able to provide Dak the supporting cast needed to elevate his performance from the coaching staff on down to the roster?

Maybe our dysfunctional organization isn’t the best situation consistently to elevate Daks performance?

when Troy says, "well Dak is probably already better than me" I might take him serious. Up until now all he's said is " he's not accurate and isn't really helping his offensive line any".. but who's Troy.
