One of Prescott's Better Games

toto1939 · Oct 16, 2016

In case anyone was wondering how our rookie QB could handle a few mistakes/adversity, I think that was answered in this game. Not much you can do about someone coming from behind swatting the football out of your hands when throwing the ball, but the INT deep in your own territory was certainly not Zak's best. So what does he do? He leads the team on the next series on a long drive to a TD.

And watching the game, I made a comment that it appeared that Dak/Witten were just not in sync and didn't want to do those throws for the rest of the game...but Dak continued to trust his All-Pro TE and completed a couple of critical 3rd down throws to him late in the game to keep drives going, running down the clock and out of the hands of Rodgers.

Bravo...rookie.

That 2nd qtr was ugly but he plowed on through. Most rookies would have folded under those conditions. He faced some adversity and passed with flying colors

He almost had a huge play down the field to butler. Wish that would have connected.

I thought it was his most shaky.

having a defense that gets turnovers can fix everything though.

I need to rewatch, but didn't Witten drop 2 or 3 passes?

You can't rattle Dak, he's cut from a different cloth. No way you take him out in a few weeks.

I'm with you and have been for the last two weeks but......JJ :thumbdown:

If you asked me three or four weeks ago should Romo start once he's back healthy, the answer would have been unequivocally "yes." I'm rethinking that position now.

It was, though he had a lot of good moments, too. Obviously.

I think it was a lot more slippery out there today than it looked like on tv, too. Lot's of weirdness out there today.

Dak told the reporters that he was use to this atmosphere from the conference he played in college. I laughed out loud when they asked him about playing at Lambeau Field and he got the look on his face like "this aint s***". Gotta love this guy and his moxie.....

mattjames2010 · Oct 16, 2016

This was Dak's worst game since his debut. But it was a hostile environment against an aggressive defense.

He made some good plays though.

Deep_South · Oct 16, 2016

We have as many as 14 games left after the bye, so if Tony is ready to play, I think they will go with him.

Agreed. Most shaky, but not worst (Giants). I felt it should erase any doubt that Romo should go in once healthy.

He had some good in there too, but definitely his most shaky. He looked more like a rookie.

CalPolyTechnique · Oct 16, 2016

Winning covers the multitude of sins (i.e. turnovers).

DanTanna · Oct 16, 2016

When DAK was told that Brett Favre said "Lambeau would be too much for the kid"

DAK said

...but I played in the SEC, so I'm prepared for it.

I didn't record it, but Erin Andrews expression/reaction was priceless.

kevm3 · Oct 16, 2016

Dak looked like more than a rookie. The last time we won in Lambeau was what, 2008? And we came in and won without our best WR. He had his shaky moments this game with the turnovers, but he rebounded after them and we came out with the W.

He looked like a future Super Bowl winning QB to me.

If so, I'll take a lot more where Dallas scores 30 points against tough defenses

Why should Romo go in? Slo we can lose a game because Romo is rusty? We play the Eagles after a bi-week. I would wait till Prescott really plays bad to warrant replacing him.

Its kinda silly to replace someone who threw 3 TDs. The INT was bound to happen.

Because he is easily the better QB. Pretty simple. That's like asking why the Pats didn't stick with Garapolo.
