see his rookie year, up til now. He already has, in my opinion. Does this look elite to you?
What concerns me about Dak is when they get into the redzone you dont see him throwing into the back of the endzone through traffic or throwing a quick hitting slant in the middle. Tough timing throws that require accuracy. He likes to throw the check down or scramble and it will be interesting if Moore can help this.
You’ve just shown your knowledge of knowing what it takes to be a NFL QB. Aikman to Dak is apples to oranges....HS to college to first year in pro. There never was or will there ever be any comparison in these 2 QBs. It ain’t even close! Go ahead and pull out your stats. They mean squat!
that's part of his nature. he is a play it safe type QB. he doesn't want to turn the ball over and thus he always, waits until he feels/sees WR wide open (that's why cooper was so good for him) and he holds the ball too long a lot of times. thus in the redzone, when everything is tighter, you have to be much more accurate with throws and more creative at times and that's not his nature (or it hasn't been). he also got snake bitten and thus a littley shy when he threw a couple of picks in the end zone....with that said, I think those are correctable, a lot of it due to his bad foot work and inconsistent throwing motion. If Kitna has been able to improve that, then we should see improvement. With that said, I like to see improvement, he is not going to get fixed over night....breaking in new habits, is hard. you might do them in practice, but when its live, hits are real and games and downs matter, sometimes old habits and instincts take over. I guess we have to wait and see how much his muscle memory has learned the new stuff.

but I fully expect the Dak lovers to come back with a stat from PFF regarding him throwing into tight windows down field, on throws between 20 to 40 air yards, in games 3 through 13, on sunday 1:00 o'clock games in 2017 and 2018...or some other crazy stat like that
Lets hope Dak shows up big and is consistent this year, he has a chance to show how good he is if Zeke holds out for games. Dak can greatly change how some view him by how his play is without Zeke, do good he has it made not so good and lose games maybe 17th is fair, we shall see, sure should be fun to watch. Aikman preformed pretty well in year 2 and 3 as I remember it, showed great improvement but what any other QB did or didn't do has absolutely no bearing on what Dak will or will not be, only Dak and and his skill set will determine that. Dak shows up great on some plays and really poorly on just as many and that is what concerns me, clean up the majority of the poor play and he will have no problems we will see if he can do that this year. Being great is fine, elite is simply in the eye of the beholder.
LOL...once in a while you have to poke a sleeping giant
That's the problem many seem to overlook about the whole deal with Dak, the cowboys put all their eggs in his basket and have to decide what to do as there is no viable option to replace him. Dak on the other hand is now trying to leverage that into a high $ contract that he doesn't rate at this point. This year should be quite telling, and I agree with you that QB's aren't easy to find. I hope they let Dak play out this year then franchise him next year but allow his agent to negotiate with other teams top see what his true market value is.
That's what I want to see too!
