Twitter: Aikman on Dak: "I say pay the man"

[HungryLion]

Same here.

He is and always will be my favorite Cowboys, but he was wrong about that comment.

Yessir.

There is a reason that teams frequently draft QB’s who have a lot of physical talent, but struggle with accuracy in college. Teams wouldn’t do that if coaches and scouts didn’t think accuracy could be improved.


All that being said. It’s not easy. And plenty of quarterbacks never do improve their accuracy enough.

But a lot of quarterbacks have. That’s where the hard work comes in. They have to drill their footwork and mechanics relentlessly to make those improvements.

And credit Kitna, Moore, Dak himself, and anyone else he's worked with. The results are impressive, and everyone involved deserve credit for their hard work.

No one more than Dak himself.

Absolutely.

Overseeing Dak’s development is the only major accomplishment for Garret too. To be honest.

He wasted Romo’s career, but he did oversee Dak’s development. So I have to give him some props for that. *shudders*

Could even be considered, "integral." Remember how he was beating him at catch after every practice?

 

[cowboyec]

as always....Troy is right.

 

[Hawkeye0202]

Hard work pays off.

Dak being a relentlessly hard worker, is a big reason for his success so far. And it’s why he will continue to be successful.

That's part of his character, it ain't going nowhere. Fans forget he had already completed his master's degree by his senoir season and plans to get his Ph.D.

It’s true.

Romo and Dak developed themselves, I'm convinced Garrett had nothing to do with it.

 

[Blackrain]

Troy is the man. I always loved him and always will.

That being said. I always thought he was wrong about the accuracy thing. Some QB’s can improve accuracy, depending on what is causing the inaccuracy.

What one man can do another can do if he wants it bad enough and is willing to put in the work . Dak was already a great leader and football player he just needed to become a better passer and he put in the time and did it

 

[big dog cowboy]

How much longer before Aikman says, Give Dak his big deal like you gave Romo his big deal....only give him a defense he can win championships with.

 

[Blake]

Free the man. This coaching staff doesn't deserve him.

 

[HungryLion]

No. Pay the man and get rid of the coaches.

 

[endersdragon]

I say pay Cooper and franchise Dak.

 

[Clove]

God bless Jon Kitna

 

[SportsGuru80]

I'm looking forward to seeing him against the Patriots defense next week.

 

[FTWayne]

God bless Jon Kitna

I think he is the one who told him to throw it and quit second guessing himself?

 

[ultron]

We've been trying to pay the man for 5 months now. If he doesn't agree to a contract we can kiss Amari Cooper goodbye.

I agree with this statement 100% and it's exactly why I've had so much belief in the kid through it all.
The simple fact is he's the first one to admit he's made a mistake or had a bad play or take blame for something going wrong on this team and he doesn't complain about it he works his *** off to get better.

Dak Prescott has so much of what you want in your franchise QB. People have no idea how lucky we are to have a QB like him that we drafted in the 4th round. He's QB for America's team though so he's going to get scrutinized an insane amount, it comes with the territory. Thing is though...he can handle it.

If the Cowboys would give a contract in the range of Goff and Wentz...Dak would have already signed. Instead the Cowboys are trying to get cute and lock him in for 7 years or whatever nonsense.

Now, it very well will cost the Cowboys 5+ million more per year as Watson, Patrick, etc. sign their new deals.
