LOL.

Apparently this is your first offseason as a fan of the NFL. This is the fluff season. Everything you read on a team's website is positive and glowing right now. All teams are great. All players are improved. Then the games start and the truth is revealed.

That looked just like the half dozen times this stiff missed Gallup for 6 last year. Exactly like it. No improvement whatsoever. You can't even make a play on the ball the throw is so bad.

I'll trust my eyes over meaningless comments from team employees.

Yes, if the year is 1977, then yes its my first. It seems to be your first if you think people that work with the team just blow rainbow smoke up everyones butts no matter how they perform. Not all of them are like Mickey. And I wasnt just talking about things from the team site. Im talking about other folks that have been there since the OTA's that don't work for the team.

I dont blame you for taking the wait and see approach. But I tend to listen to people that know what they are talking about instead of making an opinion just on thinking i know better than them.

Why is Pollard Struggling so much to run ?

Is he injured ? It would seem he is running uphill , against the wind , with sand in his shoes.

Actually it would be his 11th practice...but who's counting. I'd put money on it right now....I could make that throw from my couch with more accuracy. Seriously....I might have to make a video to prove it.
I put money on it that you couldn't complete that play more than Dak. You can't name a single QB that has made that pass every single time. It doesn't exist, even the best QBs over throw or miss throws.

I see you haven't commented on all the other deep passes Dak has completed. You wait until 1 miss overthrow to jump on and talk you're stupid and false agenda.

I look forward to another season of watching Michael Gallup running wide open down the field begging for his bum QB to just get it anywhere near his vicinity.

:popcorn:

Well...@ least this season...he's expecting it. Maybe he can adjust by strapping a rocket to his *** to catch up.

We’re officially in the “meltdown over individual practice plays on Twitter” phase of the offseason

I expect this tough when there is actual competition at a position. Think Carter/Hutch days during camp. But man I can’t believe how some are actually fighting over this. It’s practice for... Well I gotta keep it PG... Anyways you get it.

The rumor (often-repeated) is that Troy Aikman used to make every single throw in practice. He's the only QB I've ever heard anyone make that claim about.

How on earth can a guy miss this throw???? Like I've been saying...they guy literally couldn't hit water from a boat. No pressure what so ever....and he misses Pollard by 5 yards. Just inexcusable. And definately not worth 30 million.


don't you know he is the most accurate QB in the past three years in the NFL, the completion percentage tells me that and he has more wins than any other QB in their first three years.....:rolleyes:

Never heard that rumor. Heard he was good on practice but not completing every throw. Heard he completed every throw in practice before super bowl 27 then missed one and everyone was shocked.

Edit : I can say with positivity that he didn't complete all his practice throws from 89-91. Especially 89-90.

Maybe if he overthrew once in awhile but this is a pretty common occurrence. Especially how they literally just said he’s throwing within inches now and then we see this video.

Overreaction by some? Possibly. But he’s done this enough times to warrant some kind of concern.

Hell...I could understand this if this was just a scrimmage...but come on man!!! There was literally no one to hinder the throw. No D-line...No offensive lineman...No running back...so he couldn't follow through...the sun was to his back....so that's not an excuse. Linehan is gone...that's no longer an excuse. I even went back to watch his foot steps to see if that was mis-timed....Nope...took the snap out of the shot gun. No wind...the footballs are perfect. There is absolutely no excuse. Trust me...I'm good at making excuses..and there are none..Nada...zero...zip....why that throw was so horrid.

The only reason that may make some sense...and I've wondered this aloud. Does he need glasses..and he's just not telling anybody because he is afraid to come clean for fearing he might lose his job.

Just sayin...It's possible. :popcorn:

Last year I bashed the hell out of Dak. I’m giving him a chance because it’s a new season and trying to start fresh. I’m going to wait to see his performance in games when they count however, my patience is just a little above the midway point siding with positivity. Show me.

I was actually at camp today and right when that play happened my son and I both looked at each other and said "seriously"? On another note Dak made just about every other throw during offense vs defense. That being said the majority were under 5 yards for what thats worth. Not one deep shot at all.
