A subjective award to guy that only has shown it for 1 season. Why isn't RG3 a starter, why is Eddie Lacy not on the football team. There are plenty of guys that won ROTY awards and never lasted that long. You have to build on what got you that award because in all honesty that award is subjective, voted on by a bunch of writers, more popularity contest than an actually football achievement.

Winning the award guarantees nothing a lot of players won and had mediocre to unremarkable years especially recently.

This is an opinion site and an opinion subject. There are far too many weaknesses to suggest you know for a fact Dak can't win. But you will try to make that case. Carry on.

Speaking only for myself

My thoughts were thanks for keeping the ship afloat, now step aside and let an actual NFL quarterback finish the job

And believe me I got pillaged for it

Now tell me where that QB will come from.

If it is the draft, then you just used your best piece to get a WR now.

If it is free agency, then by all means go for it. I am on board.

I dount anyone is saying he is a franchise QB right now. Wonder what your thoughts were in 2016.

Lol I think that’s what many Dak apologists hang their hat on because that’s all there is to Dak. 2016 is 2016, what has he done lately? I think he hasn’t progressed to be given this much credit or a new contract and he’s the same QB that was scouted out of college. 2016 was just that, 1 year that everything but the finish went well.

He absolutely did. There are about 25 QBs in this league that would have thrown for 400+ yesterday with stacking 10 in the box. TEN!

I'm still waiting for someone to point out the play when Washington supposedly had "10 in the box." I'm guessing it never happened. Elliott had only four runs with eight or more in the box, and even the fourth-and-1 play with a jumbo offensive formation didn't have 10 in the box.

I did say that Dak had to burn them through the air since they were stuffing the run so much. Wish there would have been more passes like the one to Gallup

Well, that just changed my mind....since Canty is such a QB guru.

Then why 2016?

Maybe the surrounding talent changed significantly enough to make him look bad.

I have said this many time. Dak needs a clean pocket in front of him and a window for the ball to get to the receiver for him to play at a high level.

Therer have been QB's which this description who won Super Bowls.
Yes, a few outliers.

Don't put your money on an outlier.

Same can be said for those that think he can.

One of his fumbles directly cost us the game and he several times missed WRs for wide open walk in touchdowns. So yes, he did play subpar yesterday.

How did that fumble directly cost us the game? He marched down the field and got us in field goal range.

Washington had defensive plays where they actually had 10 guys in the box. They only did this because they were that sure Dak was not going to be able to throw on them. On the Gallup TD, the defender bit so badly on the double move because he never thought Dak would actually throw it deep. Nobody respects Dak.

Starts at 2:18 in


I was shocked at how often they had 10 guys on the line with 1 deep safety. Then Dak would drop back and act like he had all day and the world is collapsing around him. That’s why I don’t get the OL blame. All they can do in that situation is give you time to finish your drop and let you throw immediately to 1 on 1 coverage and let your guy make a play. There’s no time to go through every progression and wait for someone to come wide open.

Yeah, but he would have put it on backwards causing about half of the fanbase to cry and cry and cry
Kind of like fans are now in regard to Prescott. We'll never get a QB that doesn't get **** on for everything on offense.

Discussion was impossible due to the mass euphoria that swept over many people. What is both ironic and a little unsettling is how quickly that same mass euphoria subsequently evaporated.

Nick Wright must not have been watching the game. Dak didn't have a lot of time to throw the ball and when he did Dak did make plays. You also have to account for our bumbling coaching staff calling the plays. I thought Dak played well yesterday under the circumstances.

You give any QB in the league 5-6 seconds in the pocket, they'll make a play. But you miss the point. Washington dared Dak to beat them all game and he couldn't do it. Romo would have thrown for 500 yards if teams played 9 men in the box against him. The defense Washington played tells you what they think about Dak.

I'd be more impressed if they had 12 in the box.
Odd we would have tied the game not for a bad ref call we drove down pretty easy the last two drives with our crappy QB, he had 273 and a TD no INTs had 22 yard run called back penalty, had a big pass called back penalty he would have had around 320 passing without penalty's.. that ridiculous notion that Washington strategy won the game..we were hitting passes had guys open that we missed a few and penalty called back a few..FACTS Dak threw one of his better jobs but that pone strip sack 6 did cost us the game he had Gallup breaking WO, yes it happens pressure got to him but to say they stopped us with 8-10 is NOT TRUE..we were hitting passes..we beat ourselves..we brought in cooper to further press that man coverage..let them do that with him, I get it hes having down year but I watched every snap of that game, they stopped Zeke caused some fumbles..they did not really stop Dak , his online and penaltys stopped dak..TH FG attempt penalty stopped the cowboys.. they won 20-17 Gruden is not genius he got lucky FACTS
