Broaddus is questioning Dak's IQ

Not one time, have I ever thought DAK had what it took to be a top notch QB. I've played and watched football too long to not know when I look at a player , if he has the potential.
I've backed Steele from day one that I saw him play. I knew he had the talent. Did he have the work ethic was the question.
There's qbs like kc's that took me like 5 plays to know Mahone's had it. I think Hill in N.O. HAS IT, IF HE learns the game. But let's face it, there's attributes that are near impossible to teach.
How fast Ur brain processes information, arm strength. Muscle twitch which relates to reaction times and SPEED. U CAN have good speed, but lack quickness like Diggs, gallop, Wilson( long strider ), or you can have both like Pollard, K Joseph, somewhat lamb. These are dependant on how Ur muscles and brain work together. Dak doesn't have that.
His pocket awareness is bad, not horrendous, but bad, his arm strength is less than avg. That's why he has to have perfect form. Guys like Brees, Mahone's, etc. Don't have to have perfect form. Those two are very good athletes.
Dak= slow professor, slow muscles, slow speed, weak arm, bad pocket awareness, and not enough fire.
Roger staubach = good speed, good quickness, very fast processor, tough, leader, confident, great arm, accurate, knew the game better than Landry. Took responsibility.
Romo, very quick, not fast, great pocket awareness, great arm, super release speed, very smart, got hurt and couldn't get in the right shspe again. Good leader, after new contract he took responsibility.
Aikman. Tough , great arm, great pocket awareness, best accuracy I've ever seen, AVG speed.knew the game inside and out, could have been a better leader but not bad, wasn't there to screw off like today's athletes.
Dak is just limited. His game should be chess. They need to get him doing exercises to get his neurons firing faster, his muscles stronger, running cone drills, learning how to throw the ball, etc. He's got too many holes to fix.
Brady is great because he's got a good arm, good release , pocket awareness, knows the game. And knows he's not a great athlete.
I can't imagine how bad we'd be getting beat this year without our defense. We'd be a losing team.

Because teams are forcing him to check down or throw into the teeth of the defense into heavy coverage.

They’re daring us to run but Zeke sucks and they refuse to use Pollard. Zeke’s blocking or whatever they believe he does better is not worth taking potential big plays off the field.

Dak is NOT a bad QB, he's just not elite (top 3-5). Can he win a Superbowl? Sure. But I don't think it's fair to expect him to just be able to drop back and pass the cowboys to a Superbowl. If he can be solid, and everyone else does there Job the Cowboys can win it all. I'm not down on Dak, I just understand what he is (above average) and what he's not (elite)
He is sometimes above average because he has a lot of talent on offense. Put him on an average offense he will be below average.

If you really want to puke. Go watch the very first drive…he had Cooper wide open for a nice gain, easy first down…and Dak was looking right at him! He chooses to check it down with no pressure at the very last second to zeke for a 3 yard gain short of the 1st down. Just mind blowing.

This has been obvious for quite some time he’s really good pre snap but terrible post snap. so in games where our running game is not a factor he looks like crap.
He doesn’t look as mobile as he used to be either, he seems to lack the ability he used to have of extending plays.

3 year left on that deal…
3 years left but I'm sure they could have saved money if they went ahead and signed him in 2019 and would able to invest in other areas. They knew what they had. An above average QB. You take that run with it. I mean who else were they gonna get to replace him?

I'd agree with that. I still however see him as being able to be apart of a championship winning team. Jimmy Garapolo, Jared Goff, Nick Foles all went to Superbowls. Dak is better than all of them yet they were able to get to a Superbowl because they had a complete team. Cowboys have a complete team but have a habit of randomly coming out flat. Problem is, once they get down 10 it's over and that's a Dak/Kellen problem since 19' really.

I don’t agree with that. Dak is better than Foles but he’s not better than Garapollo or Goff. I don’t care how much money Dak makes. Goff was used as a scapegoat and Dak will never have a season like Goff had in 2017 he was literally the best QB and went head to head with Mohames and beat them 51-45 while throwing 5 TD passes. Dak would never be capable of anything like that.

This thread should have been sent to 'drama zone' immediately.

It's based on a lie. And Zordon has a habit of this.
Broaddus never said what Zordo-head claims

If someone offered you Jimmy G or Goff for Dak straight up you'd take that? Also if I recall the game you speak of I believe the Rams got a defensive score. Take that out and they lose the game to the Chiefs.

To be honest I would take Goff. Probably not Jimmy G because he’s a bit injury prone. But I think he’s more accurate than Dak. They are in the same tier. Dude the rams put up 51 and Goff had 5 TDs I think he did his part. They went to the super bowl. That’s something Dak will never do, at least as a starter. Goff’s ceiling is higher than Dak’s.

We'll agree to disagree, to me that coach made a huge difference in why Goff performed well. While I do feel Goff is the more accurate passer I don't feel he's great at reading defenses. When he was in LA the Rams had a great run game and Mcvay ran alot of flood concepts allowing for simple reads. Jimmy G I think has a better arm than Dak but aside from being injury prone he'll make some bizarre throws and I don't trust him. Again I think Dak is better than both, not by much but better.

When was Dak at his best? With a great run game in 2016 right? I’ll never forget when zeke got suspended in 2017 we went like 1-5 without him. That told me everything I needed to know about Dak right there. But yes we will agree to disagree. I’m just saying I’m not so sure we wouldn’t have the same exact record or even a game better with Goff, Wentz, Jimmy G all at a cheaper price.

Oh he sees open guys, he just won't pull the trigger.
The only option is return to the simple yet effective offense the moves Dak and creates LARGE separation for easy passing. AKA 2016

You mention cheaper price and that brings to an entirely different issue of Jerry waiting to pay a QB without having proper leverage from a personnel standpoint. Was there anyone available to replace Dak before the 2019 season in FA or Draft? If not then why did Jerry wait to sign him? He didn't have much leverage and now had to overpay.

I would pass on Goff his coach was calling him out about not loving football earlier in the season.
