Dak has NFL's best QBR through Week 2

[renny]

Destroyed a top 5 defense in this league. Scored the most points on the Jets in their last 17 games. You don't like winning 30-10?

Don't respond to this dude, he seeks attention.

I weep that Romo didn't get a chance to play in a scheme like this, especially our 2007 or 2014 team. I love the balance, and the playcalling is top notch.

I was thinking about Tony as he was calling the game yesterday.

If only he had this team to play with...

 

[renny]

I'm looking for Herbert since he's such a superior talent to Dak and will make Herbert one of the best in the league....oops.

0-2 Herbert?

 

[Whirlwin]

The power of the Dink and Dunk...........till it comes crashing down and a bunch of Pick 6s are produced because of this game plan.

You just can’t wait for him to falter, can you. you have a long wait this season?

 

[zeroburrito]

4 or 5 of those qb's are not very good.

 

[Nav22]

0-2 Herbert?

Below .500 for his career Herbert.

0-1 in the playoffs Herbert.

 

[BLEU3ASY]

A troll will find a way to troll.. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME… it’s comical.

 

[Go Big D!]

The power of the Dink and Dunk...........till it comes crashing down and a bunch of Pick 6s are produced because of this game plan.

The dink and dunk got us 70-10. I’ll take it.

 

[SteveTheCowboy]

haters have been awfully quiet since yesterday

What did you think would happen?

Man..the haters just can;t win. When dak plays bad they get their chops busted....when dak plays good they get their chops busted.


You'd think this is what you want. Shut them up. Instead you got your popcorn out.

Dak needs to keep playing like this and you can expect more of the same from the haters, mkay?

 

[doomsday808]

Unfortunately, for some fans and media mouths, that will not be good enough.

 

[JW82]

He wasn't awful at all last year.

The Cowboys were one of the highest scoring teams in the league when he was under center.

That wasn't because of Anemic Zeke.

15 ints in 12 games is not good.

 

[5Stars]

I was thinking about Tony as he was calling the game yesterday.

If only he had this team to play with...

Tony is history....Dak is the now, looking good.
Screw them stats.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

0-2 Herbert?

Yeah....that Herbert lol.

 

[Momanpr100]

Good to see Dak go back to driving the bus instead of trying to be the hero. Playing to his talent level is refreshing hopefully he can just stay this way. If the D does their job weekly and Dak plays within himself the team will have a chance every week. What you are seeing is the BP that teams with middle road QBs take. This team can go far if Dak doesn’t get in the way.

So this is gonna be the narrative

 

[DuceizBak]

Do people legitimately here think Dak is bad?
Outside of Lamb last year our receivers ranked close to last in separation. We need Cooks Healthy and sprink in Tolbert and the other guys. I give Gallup one more game to show something, if he doesn't. Put Tolbert in his spot.

 

[Nav22]

15 ints in 12 games is not good.

30 PPG is good.

 

[Momanpr100]

Dak did miss an easy TD when he went to the tight end instead of seeing a very wide open Lamb in the end zone waving his hands...there was nobody around him and Dak missed that play, real bad.

And that's what watching tape is for. Not that you would know anything about that. 2 open receivers on that play. But this is your take on it lol

 

[PAPPYDOG]

Don't respond to this dude, he seeks attention.

Don't worry about what I seek and frankly, it's none of your business!!!

 

[jaythecowboy]

It's called having an actual offensive coordinator and play caller.

Dak would've been doing this a long time ago if he didn't get saddled with a trash coordinator.

I said it a million time, yards of separation matter. KM wasn't scheming this offense into good positions consistently enough.

Exactly. This is the 1st year of Dak’s career outside the Garrett coaching tree.

If he throws that ball lower there is a good chance that it is picked off.

This is a very late follow up (work got in the way). The entire sequence has been uploaded to YouTube and can be viewed at this link. YouTube's view-only-on-its-website practice is a personal pet peeve, since posting NFL videos here are often not viewable without going there. I'm trying something new by uploading the video instead to IMGUR and posting it here also. The video's audio can be unmuted to hear the call. Plus, the video's size can be maximized to screen width like a YouTube video:

​

Jake Ferguson was wide open as Tony Romo stated during the play. Below illustrates where the defenders were positioned when the decision was made to throw to Ferguson:

Just a beautifully designed play, leaving plenty of room for Ferguson to work with. All defenders, who did not have responsibility for covering Ferguson, were taken out of the play. Ferguson had gained separation from his defender, who would not have been in position to make a play on the ball.

I believe the replay shows less arc on the pass would have easily cleared all nearby defenders. The rest would have been up to Ferguson to secure the catch in the corner of the endzone.
