Everyone who drools over Brock Purdy should look at how Dak is implementing some of the same concepts recently, which is what I've said they should be doing for 2-3 years straight, even though I am a fan of Kellen Moore.

McCarthy's offense is also in this scheme also isn't like his offense in Green Bay. That playbook is actually online, if you care to look for it. I found it on Reddit. But this is more similar to the Seahawks, and just Dak Yard football.

I'm likely to go to strange levels to analyze talent, and I've seen Dak's talent since his rookie year. I've always fancied myself as a Romo fan. But I never saw Dak coming whereas I sort of thought Romo was the man shortly after we got him. My limited analogy at the time was Drew Henson was more of a pitcher while Romo remined me more of a short stop, center fielder type player, since baseball was where I cut my scouting chops. Dak was just a 4th round pick, who I didn't know much about.

Applying that to football, I took the liberty of looking up some of Dak's high school tape, which shows him basically doing the same things, head fakes, pump fakes, quicker throws, runs, etc. Apologies if I'm a little late. I almost forgot yesterday was Flash Dak Friday.



Anyway, the changes in the offense have been the best thing that could have happened to Dak's career, and it's good to see, especially after that tough injury he had. And, really, if you're honest about it, there's no better guy for this team, than Dak Presott. Man, what a journey this guy has had in his career. And look at the level he's come to kno. We always bash our QB, because muh twenthy seven years, and all that jazz. But the truth is, Dak has a truly interesting journey to the NFL: one that he and every other Cowboy fan should be proud of. There were no off years, or QB purgatory between Romo and Dak, and we're finally building championship-level teams. That's not to say we're guaranteed a championship. But no team ever is.. It's all hindsight.

Win, lose, or draw, we're 9-3. There haven't been all that many season like this. Sure, it's not entirely impossible. I'm just saying this is a great season. Probably the best season I can think of over the past decade... coming off of COVID, and the year after, until now.. it's almost time for Dallas to win.

Maybe it's in the script, maybe not. If it does happen, it's good for the team, the fans, even the economy. Dallas winning is truly a win win for everyone.

I am a Dak supporter, but let’s hold judgment until after the season. Yes, he has played well, but he needs to do it on the big stage in the playoffs
100 percent - I lost faith after sf this year but a w against Philly and a few more great games to set us up for the playoffs and I'm ready to be 100 percent behind him...

Table is set for dak and the cowboys

No he's not, he's actually played this well before. He ended up getting hurt against the patriots but that year he was playing at an MVP level as well.

It's great that Dak and the O are ballin', but what gets me is now the D is trash.

Unless we get a big early lead the D gets exposed - the LBs and Safeties are just not very good, and a lot of the DEs that are not named Parsons and Lawrence are kinda disappearing.

And I'm still tryin to figure out what Wilson was doing one that first TD.

I said for a couple of years that injury messed him up mentally. Maybe he's finally over it.
This^^^^^^ and he now has legit #1 and 2 receivers in Lamb and Ferg but the biggest improvement is using not his legs but his feet more ( maybe a couple of steps sideways or forward to buy a couple of extra seconds).

Agree 100%. But, I don't want to his past playoff failures to takeaway from his current play

For a month I've been saying to withhold judgement until he goes through this 5 game gauntlet and he handled the first game brilliantly. I've heard some sports media say that seattle is barely a winning team and try to discredit the performance.

I disagree. Seattle was a DESPERATE team and a skilled team

Some here accuse us Dak critics of "moving the goalposts", but I refuse to do so. The performance stands as is.
