What's so silly is the emphasis on #s as oposed to WINNING. I take issue with the "Dak and Dunk" ....he's not hitting big shots down the field yet he's clearly shown the ability in the preseason. Further he's been surgical in the 10-25 range, on 3rd downs and he SUSTAINS drives. Dinking and Dunking if that's all it were would not be successful...at all...

This dak and dunk thing is so stupid.

No NFL team is throwing the ball down field all game. Look at Daks YPA compared to the NFL average.

Win the passing differential battle, the turnover battle, and convert third downs and you're going to win just about every game you play.

Many will be unhappy with Cowherd's analysis - but he is dead on. Well stated. Romo brings a deep-ball threat aspect that Prescott simply does not. He's not at that point in his career that he is comfortable with deeper reads. It's just that simple.

Romo will shred defenses with this O-line and running game for as long as he can stay healthy. Because that IS what Romo does.

It's no stupider than Rodney Harrison saying Dak should start or Garrett will lose the team when Harrison has no idea what goes on in our locker room and probably thinks Romo is the worst QB in the league anyway. These national guys don't know the whole story, they can only see the high level.
Cowherd is likely just amused that a QB on pace for 13 passing TDs and who isn't allowed to throw the ball downfield is causing such a stir.

I love how he touts Brady over and over on his show. Brady has made a career out of dinking and dunking the heck out of teams to Welker, Amendola, Edelman, Gronk, etc for the last decade.

Lastly constantly driving the ball down field with reckless abandon just gets you picked off like Jamis Winston. I wish Dallas would take a few more shots down the field, however, I have been saying that for years, even with Romo in the line up. It just isnt JG's philosophy.

this is the guy who had us losing to SF and Cinn. If you want to see a QB that Dinks and Dunks just watch Wentz.
