Once anyway
Obviously not all the time or he would have a much better completion percentage
His is a bit weak
Davis had a few highlight-reel throws each week in college. He’s still learning the nuances of the game as a passer, but his touch has some brilliant flashes. However, he’s behind the curve in terms of anticipation and as a result struggles to consistently hit receivers in stride. Davis is also lacking in play-extension ability. While he is comfortable with throwing off platform from a mechanical standpoint, he doesn’t have the type of ball placement that teams will desire. If he can become more reliable and controlled in the face of pressure,

Looks like we're regretting that Dak contract already. Better to cut the fat than let it linger. Good call.

Is he another relative or family friend of the head coach?

This guy has MUCH better form than DiNucci. I say sign him up and giver him Nooch's reps.
DiNucci can not be judged by the one game that he has played in. He had no training camp, preseason games and he was a rookie going into that game. If you really want to question one of the QBs in the roster, it should be Rush. He is a backup QB that is taking up a roster spot, but they will sign a QB off the street to play before they consider putting him in to play QB. Why bother with having him on the team? They trust everybody to play before they consider playing Rush. It doesn’t matter what team he is on, because they all refuse to play him even in the most desperate circumstances.

If Davis makes it in the nfl he may be the real Brady’s age before his first contract ends

True add to the problems for DiNucci he was forced to work behind a makeshift OL as starters missing from lineup. I don't know if DiNucci has a future as a QB but really can't make that assessment based on 1 game last season. As for Brady Davis for many they see him as an extra arm in camp but for Davis this is a major opportunity to come in and show what he can do

He flashes. His main thing is injuries. Knee issues, and two torn ACLS.

CowboysZone DIEHARD Fan
"Brady has a good size for the quarterback spot, a very strong arm, and he has some major league zip on his throws. He can make all of the NFL throws and hit the deep passes outside the hashes, and the deep underneath passes. Davis has a smooth over-the-top delivery, and he can fit passes in small window spots. He has good overall mechanics, and he steps up strong to throw from his launchpad.

All of that, and he is currently bagging groceries, go figure.
