Twitter: Dak, our franchise leader, speaks about rehab while giving support and advice

Get well Dak...

Dak's my QB!

It recently occurred to me that there was something about the way Dak talks that sounds.. I don't know what the word is.. at least I didn't until it came to me a few days ago. I call it "speech voice." Everything he says sounds like a politician on the stump or an officer about to send his men into battle. The delivery, the inflection, all of it. I'm not assigning a negative or a positive value to it.. but it's just an observation I have made and I was finally able to put my finger on it literally within the last week. It's probably why guys gravitate to him.. 200 years ago Dak would have been the guy leading the charge into battle somewhere.. And probably would have been one of the first to get kilt! Okay.. that was morbid. I love Dak and have every confidence that he's going to make it all the way back and pick up where he left off this season. They say that one of the keys to slowing down the passage of time is having something to look forward to. As kids it's Christmas or summer break.. As young adults it's the next date with the girl (or guy) of our dreams at that moment.. As athletes it's game day.. and as fans.. it's the next game.. or in a season like this one.. the next season.. The 2020 season can't get over and the 2021 season can't get here fast enough for yours truly.. Time will move VERY slowly over the next 9 months..

There is no substitute for greatness.

Dak is a huge difference maker and we need him back. Our offense has collapsed without him.

Next year, he is a free agent again with Jerry Dumbo GM Jones and his Arlington Jonesboys. I wish Dak the best and I hope the best is with a Coach that knows football and a GM that knows football players.

Ahh,, future gimp talk,,,
Hope you recover well Dak and well enough to compete.
As old and senile as Jerry is, even your job is no longer a lock down in 2021-and beyond.
If efforts aren't made to at least move up in this draft to at the very least grab a future replacement, than this franchise will be 8-8 on the average.. some years 9-7, the next year 6-10,, keeping this franchise average.
Keeping this franchise doing what its done best the past 25 years, just Jerry selling encyclopedias to the blind.

Interesting...Dak talks about always having to fill in for the "guy in front of him". Hmmm, he also says it's been that way all his career, and guess what? That's how he became the QB of the Cowboys, because Romo got injured, and that is probably the only way he got the job.

If he is as good as he thinks he is, why was he always "behind" the starters? That's our 4th round QB, was not even drafted high because he was never considered the "first guy", always in second place waiting for an injury. I hope he sent Romo a thank you card.

Probably the most accurate thing you've said to date.

This is a strange take given that Dak was drafted as a project to EVENTUALLY replace Romo. Year one or year three, at some point Dak was going to be given the reigns to this team or at least the opportunity to earn it. As for why Dak has always been the guy behind the starters.. I'm sure you already know the answer to that. One, Dak is not a "pretty" QB.. He's built different than most guys as the position and he delivers the ball differently. Some idiot "experts" and "fans" get too caught up in how it looks and don't focus enough on the end result. The second reason is that Dak apparently is not a great practice player.. He's just one of those guys who needs to have the lights on to perform at his best. There is no explanation for why some guys are like that, but it's absolutely a real thing. Once the ish gets real they just find a different gear. Dak is such a guy. Even this year there were reports that Dalton was outperforming him in practice.. which had the Dak haters all aflutter. Then the season started and Dak started breaking records.. so that bunch had to start rooting for us to lose or for Dak to get hurt so they could see their hero, who in their estimation is a "real QB" and who would pilot the offense to even greater heights.. Well they got two out of three right.. We ARE losing and Dak IS hurt.. as for that last one.. well.. you know.. You can't have everything..

Probably the same reason why Romo was sitting behind Bledsoe. Or why the Cowboys drafted Steve Walsh when they had Aikman. Or why Lamar Jackson was sitting behind Flacco. Or why Pat Mahomes was sitting behind Alex Smith...or why Tom Brady was sharing snaps with Henson at Michigan or sitting behind Bledsoe........

What a odd take from you.

Looks like stats from a team who plays a lot of catch up

I doubt most of those guys did not sit on the bench hoping for an injury to the starter, they were probably starters growing up. Hey, he said it, don't deflect what "he" said, if anything it's an odd take from him, a confession without not even knowing it. He was never that good growing up.

Should have left those out...But he brings up a good point. Why is he always needing a injury or something to be starter. We all know his talent wasn’t very good coming out of college he was a late round draft pick. Brings the question. Is it better to be lucky or good. I. Daks case I’d say lucky..
