A Statistical look at Dak! He is really good

[FuzzyLumpkins]

Of course after Dak does great things there is a lot of revisionist history by the Cowboys and Garrett homies

What "knowledge" do you have that Garrett thought that Dak was going to be a franchise QB? Were you in the evaluation meetings? Did you scout him for the Cowboys or talk to Garrett about Dak? Do have inside knowledge of what the Cowboys thought of Dak BEFORE THE DRAFT?

What knowledge are you blabbing about exactly?

Please enlighten us

Or better yet, you can do a google search and pretend to be a doctor and tell us how Jaylon Smith is 50-50 to play this year?

The difference between you and I is that I am comfortable with "I don't know" whereas you like to feign certainty to confirm your bias.

Jaylon Smith had a type 2 nerve injury the prognosis is what it is. It's not my fault you don't know how to use web search engines well.

I think he meant we were lucky he was still there in the fourth. We did more homework on Dak than any team in the draft. We wanted Witten, too. We were just as lucky he was still there in the third. I get both of you though.

Oh no question the Cowboys were lucky that he lasted until he did.

But they had done there homework and selected him... It wasn't a "spin-of-the-wheel" thing.

You're comfortable with "I don't know" but you started by saying that you deal in "knowledge"

And if all you wanted to say was "I don't know" why not just do that to begin with instead of trying to pretend otherwise?

Can you tell me how you know that other teams had not done their homework?

Man ....... its a great day

Doesn't matter if they did or didn't.

They didn't select him before Dallas did.

And it was stated that Wade Wilson spent time with the kid and he was one of the Dallas invitees, which historically have a high percentage chance of being drafted by the Cowboys.

I bet that most teams "spent time with the kid"

Point is that there is absolutely no evidence pre-draft that the Cowboys thought he was special and a future franchise QB. This is clearly evidenced by the FACT that they were going to select Connor Cook even in the bottom of Rd 4

If Oakland hadn't jumped them Cook would be a cowboy. That is pretty much the definition of blind luck

They picked him, great
He is playing lights out, great

But the cowboys don't get special credit for it

If you don't want to give them special credit for it so be it.

I will.

So hard cheese.

Agreed. His last post sounded more like it was mostly blind luck. We looked at him harder than anyone.

You either know something or you don't. That is how I operate and not on belief. I will use intuition when the situation demands it but I don't pretend that it a certainty like a believer does.

I know that you don't know what the executive dynamics are in the Cowboys front office. WE are not in a position to know and that is okay. MAke up stories if it makes you feel better but that is all they are: stories.

We drafted him!!!! Nobody else drafted him!!! Blind luck??? HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAAHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHHAHAAHHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

Just for the record blind luck would be if Dak got drafted #1 and every team was trying to trade up to #1 except for Dallas. And then after Dak got drafted he refused to sign with the team that drafted him and he retired from the NFL. And then came back to the NFL as a walk on the following year in Dallas because Dallas still didn't think he was any good and still wouldn't sign him but Dak only wanted to play for Dallas. And then he started and went 7-1.

That would be blind luck.
