So people say he is a great QB, because he leads by example, for example he himself not being prepared to play in the playoffs? I said before, it is my opinion that Dak is an average leader, like Romo was. Coaching hasn't been motivating the team for years. This team needs a Quarterback that can be a true leader and lead the team where the coaches fail to lead the team. Coaches are setup to fail here because of the Culture Jerry has installed. And I have said several times I believe this team can win in the regular season but lacks the leadership on and off the field to be a true competitor in the playoffs.
I don't know if nobody question his preparation for the playoffs, considering he keeps failing at them. Dak has been one of the main reasons why we lost those San Francisco games for example. So how is he leading by example if he is part of the problem? The version of Dak that had the best chance to win a playoff game IMHO was the 2016 version that had good instincts and didn't know better. I thought that, that version of Dak was going to be the next Big Ben and thought he would surpass Romo. I'm not sure what the D4KYard thing is supposed to mean, so I can't comment on that...
The whole Dak is a great leader is based on hearsay of what people said they heard from his team mates. When the whole thing first came out, I said that is a general response people get from players when asked about their Quarterback. "Uh he's a great leader" because no direct quote was given. Furthermore, people can think others are great leaders when they say a lot of things that they like to hear. Some people think their boss is a great boss because they are nice. But sometimes, someone is a great leader when he tells people things that they don't want to hear, and then those people think that they are a horrible boss, but in reality even though they are disliked for the moment they are a good leader. Leadership isn't always telling people what they want to hear and making friends. What examples do you have of Dak being a great leader, besides hearsay, without knowing if the team is saying he is a great leader because he tells them what they want to hear in the locker room versus he also tells them what they need to hear but don't want to hear?
You have the link to the news article about Romo losing his lockerroom in his prime? Or is that all made up? The main thing I remember, which you might be refering to, was when TO was part of the team and TO was a known lockerroom cancer. The guy threw every single Quarterback he was receiver for under the bus. He called Jeff Garcia gay. Had a big explosion with McNabb on the Eagles, where they had to get rid off him. He then tried to turn his juniors against Garrett because he felt that Romo was throwing too much to Jason Witten, something that was disproven when they showed during a game the stats that TO actually had more passes thrown to him, but like 49er fans had previously said, TO had a tendancy of dropping balls. But is that really Romo's fault, Jerry bringing in a locker room cancer that set out to divide the team? Or are you perhaps talking about something else? Out of curiosity, you think Dak would've gotten along with TO, and TO wouldn't have thrown him under the bus as well like he did to every quarterback?
You are the one who was saying that leadership has changed, and motivation of players has changed, and what worked in yester's NFL doesn't work in today's NFL. If you make such claims, you should have substance to back them up. Besides the 90's cowboys, I've seen Romo talk to Dak after Dak didn't run a route right, when he was still green. Who said anything about screaming? Who's projecting. It doesn't matter how you tell those you are leading, when they are doing something wrong, even if they don't want to hear it, as long as you do it. Leadership is not about making people like you, it is about making sure everyone is one the same page and people don't make mistakes. The cowboys don't have much on the field leadership, and I don't quite understand why you are saying that on the field leadership is outdated, or what it has to do with yelling. Also leading by example, to me, means that you can't be one of the biggest reason your team consistantly loses playoff games. I'm not saying that Dak is an bad leader. I think he is an average leader like Romo was. But I think you guys overhype his leadership abilities, when I don't see a well disciplined team.
