Can Dak be as effective as Steve Young

basel90 said:

Dak is not in mahomes league either . Mahomes has won a SB and is 8-3 in the playoffs in 5 years , so he is headed to the HOF one day. Dak has 1 playoff win at home and seems to have peaked in 2019 . A different situation altogether.

QB's dont have records. But yah, mahomes is another level completely. I still dont think he wins any championships during the Garrett era.

Totally Juvenile response to a legitimate question. I mean go suck on my thumb? Really That's an adult response. I did watch Steve Young he was a good Qb. He wasn't Montana, he wasn't Moon, He wasn't Staubach but he was good enough to win a Super Bowl. Hardly a feat that cannot be duplicated by Dak or by any of the other Qb's in the world today. Who is it that can't handle opposing opinions ?

I would take Steve young over Moon for sure and possibly Staubach. Young was one of the best QB's of all time. Was probably the best dual threat QB ever to play.

Full stop! How long does Joe Montana sit behind Dak in his prime?

Montana was a freak. Prolly not all that much.

Depends if Jerry Rice comes out of retirement . Until a SB is won around here not to keen comparing Dak to Steve Young . Heck how about an NFC championship game ….

Your post deserved no respect or much of a response at all but I was bored.
The fact you think Moon was better says it all.
Clearly you may have watched him but you did not recognize ability.No surprise. Your comments overall show a complete lack of football judgement.

Moon n Young are quite comparable.

Young was a taller version of Russell Wilson
Dak is just not on that athletic level

He'll still run, maybe not quite as much as in the past, but his running days are not "over"....

Okay...his effective running days are over.

Dak doesn’t have the team Steve Young has to be as effective. Dak isn’t the runner Steve Young was.

He could be. But risking injury to Dak to squeeze every last yard out of him is too much of a risk.

What makes Dak a good running QB isn't his speed, which just isn't fast in terms of the NFL, it's his size and the fact that he's not the easiest QB to take down, especially once he gets in the secondary.

I was joking.

Steve Young its tied for 1st place for number of seasons as the top rated passer.

Both he and Len Dawson was the top rated passer in an NFL season six times. The3e is a tie for 3rd place tie between Bart Starr, Aaron Rodgers, Ken Anderson and Roger Staubach. each have four seasons as the league's top rated passer.

I mention this because Young's effectiveness as a runner was directly related to his effectiveness as a passer. He was so elusive that if a defense tried to blitz then Young was automatically a double threat. A defender could only react to a run once Young passed the line of scrimmage. If tjey gambled to get a head start in chasing him, he would automatically make them pay with a last second pass before the line of scrimmage.

Young's receivers, like Rice and TO. would go deep and draw at least three DB's with them and that gave Young a lot of running space. Dak will not get the kind of space Young had to run around with, partly because of Young.

It was QB's like Young, Vick, and others whose running success led to training defenses how to handle a running QB so that defenses today are a little more sophisticated in that area.

Doesn't need to run per se . Maybe occasionally the RPO basically just be mobile. Bring back the 2016 offense but use Pollard 60%, use Zeke on short yardage or 3rd and long, motioning Pollard to slot.
NOSHAME FOR OC!!!

Murray?

Dak's running days are over. Pre-injury he was a big threat.

Mike McCarthy begs to differ! He's already announced Dak will be allowed to be a runner at the team's discretion. How often that might be allowed is yet to be determined. Seemingly, it may well be a somewhat limited number, considering the potential risk of re-injury.

Dak’s #’s are better than Staubach and Aikman, you taking Dak I guess?!

Click to expand...

i might

if i had time machine and could insert dak into those Superbowl teams full of HOFers..that where you guys completly miss the comps..aikmans numbers were eli manning like in the Regular season but his coaches, team and yes himself stepped up in the playoffs , doesn't make them better,,got it?

you have to weigh the situation apples to apples daks not on those teams with those hOfer coaches and players is he??

i say player like dak, zeke, and Romo could be on inserted in their respective counterparts' positions with no other changes and im betting those teams still have the same sucess.. when you all wake up and realize this is team game where what around you and who coaching, who is building teams all matter.

Dak has that talent yes 100% ..its why you see guys like Foles, Eli, Dilfer, Flacco win sbs also see others like Garoppolo, Kaepernick, and goff other make sbs

sorry man you all are way too literal in just comparing the sucess of those players without taking the team aspect, the ra and other factors like coaching comes into play..i say dak is very much as talented as all those being discussed, yes he is..

Kyler Prescott Murray . Resides in Arizona and that franchise has hitched its wagons to him in hopes of going further then one and done in the playoffs .

That is just comically ignorant.

Its not but go ahead and try to make comp when daks not even on team and roster with those coaches to know for sure , show me the proof its like Stafford as lion did squat but put up stats, less then dak, put him on the rams team and hes a SB winner..

TEAM that comical you cant see the difference and advantage of being on team full of HOF payers and coaches and when you are not its deficit..whats comical is fans blaming the QBs lie Romo and Dak for lack of payoff sucess when its not them..we watched it..

Young didnt do squat his first 8 that eight season first real snaps 10 games as a starter 5-5 got that all of sudden he had some great years but nothing statically staggering at al nothing impressive really, he was the benefit of being on great team as aikman was..its goes long way brah..that comical you are blind to how career are effected by the teams you are on both positively and negatively.

daks on good team so he looks good, put him on great team and i bet all fo sudden the same production the same dak could win SB../those are facts..we see it flacco, eli, dilfer, foles and on and on and on players like Jimmyg, Goff, Kap, and wentz make Sbs with a great team.

you was NOT an elite throwing top of his class type qb he wasn't he was very good but looked great in that scheme with those players and those coaches.
