Dak interview on Adam Shefter Podcast

[Swagger]

The intangibles

 

[GMO415]

You forgot best shape of his life.

Thought that was 21's saying.

 

[jazzcat22]

Thought that was 21's saying.

I think several or more players said it last off season.

 

[GoldenR]

Let me guess, he said "He's ready for the season." "He's determined to turn it around." "They have a great team." "They are looking forward to taking the field." "MM's offense will be great." "They have a tough season ahead." Blah blah blah blah

......." I need to be better, It's on me, I'll be better, We'll be better and be ready for next week........." " this ones on me...." blah blah blah

 

[Mk2_Cowboys]

I didn’t bother hearing it but let me guess “ he’s ready” “he’s hungry” “ he believes in the team” “ his arm feels great” “ he’s getting better “ “ it’s on him”

 

[FuzzyLumpkins]

Two pages f people saying they aren't going to listen. No cognitive bias here.

The interview covered 3 topics. Only the first was interesting to me. He just started throwing with Cooks this week and the speed element is something they have not had.

Said he understands why Zeke was let go but would love for him to come back.

Stuff about his suicide prevention foundation and the walter payton award.

 

[noshame]

I'm thinking Dak needs Zeke for moral support. Better bring him back we do not need anymore self doubt.

 

[starfan1]

You forgot one: "I will get better". And then he will go out and not do it.

Ya thats a familiar theme from dallas QBs in last 15 years

 

[jazzcat22]

Just think only roughly 20 more weeks before game 1 of this type of stuff.

sadly it doesnt stop then. some cowboy fans suck they are miserable souls. They take this fandom stuff way too serious

[CATCH17]

Talk is cheap in Dallas.

7 years of Dak and nothing to show for it. Just a bunch of delusional fans that defend a guy who isn’t capable of carrying the team but are also cool with him getting paid like he can and then complain that the team isn’t good enough.

Really an original take here.

Same guy will say how Josh Allen and Herbert are "ELITE" yet they have nothing to show either.

That’s because I watch them play and it’s clear as day they are elite at their position.

I don’t need a stat or whatever crap you look at to see they are freaks at the QB position.

If you gave the Dallas Cowboys the option of Allen or Herbert vs Dak they would pick Allen or Herbert.

Ya but they haven't done anything.

Yet they get a pass because of your mythical eyeball test.

I can feel the Dak hate oozing out of your posts...

So what. They are rare talents.

You shouldn’t compare Dak to those type of QBs. Compare him to Kirk Cousins or Derek Carr.

No GM would even have this conversation.

Pay the rare QB all day. Dak’s not rare and needs a team to carry him.

I don’t hate Dak. He’s a good player. I hate his contract and how he is paid like he is something he’s not.

If the measuring stick is a SB then those 2 aint got **** on Dak. Well see if Moore can work some magic with a bunch of yalls golden boy this year but as of now all Herbert does is choke just like Dak. Id rather have Allen too but he isnt available. Thus far they havent been able to CARRY the team as you put it

Yes but they’re truly elite players. Anyone who isn’t biased can see they are rare talents.

Dak’s not a rare talent.

 

[Rayman70]

I rather have heel spur/achilles surgery and be laid up for 3 months confined to a recliner & knee scooter rather than listen 2 Shefty and Dak. Oh wait a minute, I did have the surgery just 2 weeks ago. Mission accomplished I guess.

The thing is with Herbert and Allen. They have stronger arms, and can make all the throws. As where Dak is limited on certain throws. I think this is where MM can have better success with Dak than Moore. If he knows how to eliminate those throws and puts him into position he can succeed.

The eyeball test holds true in this case as to arm strength, it is noticeably different. Allen and Herbert arms are better. As to overall play and success, yet to be determined.

I would think, and hope, any Dallas fans would take either one of those over Dak. I like Dak to a degree, and have been down on him especially after last season. We have won with him obviously, but he needs to step up his game in the playoffs for sure.
Still give me Herbert or Allen. But not Carr or Cousins.
