As a well-known Dak hater, I have to admit something I was wrong about

[BotchedLobotomy]

I never thought Dak had the ability to beat good teams off the strength of his arm. He has now done it in 3 consecutive home games against playoff teams with absolutely no running game.

One can argue that they all were bad defenses but those teams are coming into the game knowing we have no threat of a run game and he is still feasting in the passing game

Who made you the Dallas Cowboys Fan police

Mr. Landry.

 

[CCBoy]

Mr. Landry.

...and he was a pilot as well. As if one needs an authorization to comment one's own view of an abused topic. That can be discussed as much as implying a person reflects goals of a coward on reason for stance. No to those going for their own version of a hero worship only for a Lombardi as motivation for respect.

Wonder what Khalidi has to say about Daks ability to throw balls against zone these days.

Dak may very well crap the bed in playoffs against d coordinators giving it their all and players giving it their all in a do or die situation...but most QBs have trouble in that environment.

Just curious what the guy has to say these days about Dak.

Is it scheme is better now? Quick 1, 2 read and if nothing is there run? Are the route trees designed better to beat zone in MM system? Why is Dak seeming to be able to play ball now?

Khalidi...please chime in.

he will say, it was the bad defense or the defender played bad, it wasn't Dak. he actually has done that when Dak makes big plays.

he hates Dak with a passion.

Brother Willie has joined the dark side

or is it that he is joining the force and coming out of the dark side. is he Kyle Loren

 

[CowboysFaninHouston]

I have to agree. I point out when Dak plays bad but I also make an effort to point out when he plays good. Last night he really played well. He made things happen with being short handed on the OL and no running game. That 92 yarder that should have been a safety was all Dak. He avoided the rush, avoided the sure safety and hit a 92 yarder. That’s what we need to see.

I was happy and excited about Dak last night. Let’s keep it moving throughout the playoffs cuz I like talking about his good games way more than talking about his bad games.

the thing is that every QB. EVERY QB has bad plays, bad throws and bad stretches. its just that when Dak has a 70% completion rate. 2 TD, one getting dropped, the focus is on the missed plays, with pages of analysis and bashing. expectations of Khiladi, poopy and few others is to have 100% completion rate. no interceptions. and 45 TDs. if not that, then Dak sucks.

 

[CowboysFaninHouston]

Dak’s #1 in the NFL in td’s and top 5 in many others.

its not Dak. its the OL. its the coaches. its the WRs contorting themselves to make catches of inaccurate passes. its section 452, row 25 fans, its the janitor, its the sun's angle, its the wind outside, its the temprature. its everything but Dak.

got it?

 

[CowboysFaninHouston]

We waited 8 years for him to accomplish this.
8 years.............hmmmmm
Look on the bright side as we are home for the playoffs facing a couple of Dogs (our specialty) then worst case scenario we have to go the SF and please tell me I won't be hearing another "We will do better speeches" after the game?
P.S. The refs have been saving us all year long........heck even CD looks around after every non-completion for the P/I call.
Enjoy the ride as the NFC has never been weaker and our luck stronger.........Cowboys!!!!

so what it took 8 years? care to explain?

p.s.
so 42 quarters without a single holding call against parsons...plenty of videos and pictures posted. yeah, the refs are helping...they are helping the opponents.

p.s.2
you are pathetic, misreable, bitter, angry...

I hope you continue to be this way. I love to see you suffer. I am laughing at you being miserable.

Few quarterbacks have had playoff success with zero running game, and those that have usually have had a suffocating defense. We have neither, so hopefully Dak and Cee Dee are up to the challenge.

 

[CowboysFaninHouston]

1 yard dump off plays to the RB's baffles me every time, might as well just throw it out of bounds

expectations are that the RB in space against a single defender should break some tackles. most other teams do the same play with better results against us. not sure why pollard, and his speed and juking ability aren't able to break more tackles when given 1-1 situations with a defender. Fergi is really good at it.

 

[Big D]

Dak didn’t change, the offense did. Garrett and Moore’s offense sucked. Dak was the only reason they won as many games as they did.

The thing that effects the most is the protection, in both passing and run games. Thats always been the issue when it comes to Dak and the offense's play. Really an QB and offense. It's funny because people have spent his whole career obsessing over wether Dak is any good or not but can't/won't really see the causes of the issues they slam him for.

As a well-known Dak hater​

Brother B, I always felt you weren't a typical Dak hater. This PROVES you're not. That's why I never included you in the Anti-Dak/Cowboys Cult we have here. You're just frustrated with him like I am, a Dak supporter. He's doing way better than what was expected of him where he was drafted and doing better than all the other quarterbacks taken before him. He's definitely an over-achiever. It's not his fault Jerry overpaid him with that stupid contract. If he leads us to what you and I are hoping and praying for, then it was money and time well spent. If not, a waste of money and time, and let him see what other teams offer him. Again, this coming from a huge Dak supporter.

GO COWBOYS!

 

[Jayinem]

I think Dak has gotten better with Mike McCarthy as his playcaller, he said so himself. I would like to see this Dak with a running game like he had his rookie year with Zeke.

 

[Blackrain]

Dak is a good QB who does dumb things sometimes and who at times appears to be confused. Too many stretches where he just can't move the ball.

What he really needs is a strong run game to lean on, like Russell Wilson when he won the super bowl. Wilson has always lacked consistency, which has always been wildly apparent. It was the strangest thing that DEN didn't appear to know this.

Can Dak be good enough? Not if we go into the season w/ a backup starting at RB and our OL dependent on an oft injured underachiever(Chuma) and a 5th round project(Richards). That simply cannot happen if we ever want to go on a nice playoff run.

You got it ksk I beat that drum earlier when we had the opportunity to make an offer that couldn't be refused for Derrick Henry.
No it doesn't exactly fix our offensive line problem but on the 6-yard line of the eagles I believe we could have ran him with the ball and had a better outcome than DAK being sacked.

I believe he could have closed out some games for us but will never know because Jerry won't just push all the chips to the center of the table and not take no for an answer and get what we need

 

[Risen Star]

I have yet to be wrong about anything on Prescott.

 

[Coogiguy03]

Fergi is really good at it.

I agree wholeheartedly with what you're saying and you're so true!! My thing is we're doing something wrong because every time we do it, the defender is coming right up to our guy and our guy is getting SMACKED by the defender! On other teams, this doesn't seem to happen as we both feel

Oh, enter the turkey shoot and center up five centers in five seconds...let's see! Killer!

I never put you in the Hater category. It's one thing to be skeptical and a completely different deal to ignore facts for the sake of being right.
