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.
