Video: Tale of the Tape: Dak's Best Throw Ever

[Eanwen]

There are people who legit believe the catch was better than the throw hahahahahahah...

Well in their defense it was a great catch. I just don't get people who say it wasn't a great throw though, like it's easy for a right handed qb to run left and throw a 30+ yd td.

 

[Whirlwin]

Great throw. I will miss Beas, frankly.

I've said it many times. That's the game they set him loose. And everybody said it was just a bad Giants team. No division games are always tough I don't care how bad the other team is

 

[Whirlwin]

Dak threw an absolute rope 50 yards while rolling out to his non-dominant side with two feet in the air putting it in a position where only his WR could catch it.

Beasley made his break and caught it

"Honestly I think Beasley deserves more credit than Dak for the catch"

That's all you need to know folks

That's why it's called a team sport. I seen so many great throws followed by phenomenal catches. You have to give credit to both parties you can't say one was better than the other. Greatness is greatness

 

[Whirlwin]

There are people who legit believe the catch was better than the throw hahahahahahah...

Again I don't think either one was better than the other.

 

[Whirlwin]

Great throw. I will miss Beas, frankly.

I've seen so many great throws by Prescott.gallop In The End Zone against Seattle. Pulling a classic Tony Romo spin out I hit Jason Witten In The End Zone against Philadelphia. Hitting Dez Bryant on a rope against the Pittsburgh Steelers. I could go on and on but my memory is not that good lately LOL

 

[Whirlwin]

Says the kid who loves Quincy Carter, smh/lol.

Look, it was a strong throw, on the run. I gave him credit.
However, Beasley made a diving catch while barely getting a knee down.

I know you're young, but there was a guy by the name of Joe Montana.
His fame actually peaked on a pass he was throwing out of the back of the end zone.
His WR leaped to catch it, and boom, the legend was born.

He's made better throws. The timing of this play within the game is what gets it the attention.
It was a game winner. I stand by my comments.

Joe Montana was not throwing that ball away out of the back of the endzone.

 

[Whyjerry]

Love Dak. Guy is a winner.

 

[RoboQB]

Joe Montana was not throwing that ball away out of the back of the endzone.

Sure he was.
DD Lewis and Too Tall in his face.
He was getting rid of it.
That's why it's called The Catch, not The Throw.

 

[Dak_Attack_09]

Lol Future tried to claim this wasn't throwing to a spot.

Cause he has garbage analysis.

 

[RoboQB]

Just to clarify my earlier posts, because the children love to fight online. (lol)

I did not discount the throw. I just gave an opinion that the catch was impressive
and deserved more credit than it gets. If he catches it out of bounds, this thread
wouldn't exist. Nobody would ever discuss every frame of the play or claim to have
watched it 100 times.

 

[DallasEast]

Just another example of how different individuals interpret a team sport.

Prescott scrambles to his left, half jumps (momentum still carrying him left), throws (basically all arm), ball travels half a football field, to a spot where only the receiver has an opportunity to catch the ball.

Fantastic throw.

Beasley breaks with little real estate in the endzone, judges that the ball will land outside the endzone, dives while keeping a knee bent close to the ground, secures the ball and drags his knee literally less than a quarter foot from being out of bounds.

Fantastic catch.

There is zero reason why both teammates cannot be properly credited for great execution. No logical reason whatsoever. A quarterback cannot catch a catchable pass thrown downfield. A receiver cannot throw the ball to himself.

Football. Team sport.

 

[JoeKing]

Great throw, yes but it was even a greater catch. If that catch had won a Superbowl it would be known as the best catch ever. I love John Madden for making the phrase "one knee equals two feet" famous. Easily the best catch in Beasley's career.

I just don’t get why we do this and I’ll include myself in this statement
We dissect a particular play either positive or negative to enhance our points or views and not simply enjoy the results as fans
We don’t value completely the team aspect of sports it was a great throw and a great catch and both of those elements were necessary for positive results

Now If Beasley don’t make the catch then I’m sure it was a crappy throw

Zeke, aikman , roger. Tony,, Michael, TO, emmitt, Dak were all who they were or are with the help of their team mates and that includes the big uglies.

Yet we want to elevate or tear down based on a play or so and again I’m guilty of doing it myself to Romo early in on his career because I wanted so badly to see that 6th Lombardi that I needed to place blame somewhere and he was my choice because his favre like throws put us in difficult game situations

Well they also put us in good situations and for every throw there was receiver who made the play

Yes some athletes are more athletic than others it’s just how it is but we were grateful to have all the players we have had and that includes Dak and Romo and the others I mentioned

Can’t wait till season gets started

EDIT: Not certain if you were being sarcastic adding 'crappy throw' after re-reading but if you were:

There is that . I was bn sarcastic as to how cowboy fans particularly anti Dak fans would have most likely viewed the throw if Beas don’t catch it

While in fact it still was a great throw given circumstances it just would have been incomplete and the cowboys would have lost and boy would that be ammunition for the anti Dak fans

We and I as fans place too much value on individual performance and not enough at team performance because we latch on to particular players but that also can be considered the crux of fandom

I love me some cowboys and I get po at certain plays or players. I’ve yet to forgive Murray for the fumble in 2014 yet we don’t make the playoffs without his performance that year

 

[glimmerman]

The commentator even called at the time. It was a great throw and a great catch. Everyone acts like Dak can’t throw at all.

 

[okstateCowboy]

I just couldn’t stop looking at the horrible watch Broaddus is wearing

 

[erod]

He got the ball where the WR could make a play on it. I don't know how you call that off target. If you're throwing to Beasely, was there a much better place to put it?

He heaved it. That play was 80% Beasley. Dak's best in that play was the spinout in the pocket.

Dak has made several better throws than that prayer.

And why do we continue to care about that glorified preseason game that was meaningless?

 

[Seven]

Joe Montana was not throwing that ball away out of the back of the endzone.

Yes he was. He admitted as such in an interview.

 

[Whirlwin]

Yes he was. He admitted as such in an interview.

I saw that interview. He said he was going to throw it out of the back of the endzone but in a spot just in case his player was there. So interpret that as you will
