Dak is playing like a 4th round pick

[blueblood70]

I love Dak and I dont blame him for trying to get the most out of his career . Everyone is saying he is in a slump or funk . I watch the game tape and he dosent run any more ,he hesitates , dosent take whats there holds to long trying for the home run .
I want the 4th round pick back that was fearless and used everything in his skill set to move the chains because Im a selfish fan and want a SB win for the Cowboys .

Is being fearless and sacrificing your body for a SB the best thing to do if your Dak for you and your family financially, definitely not. Far better to have no rings and prolong your career extra years.

ridiculous.  Hes had 3 injuries 2 before the season , one season ending that could have kept him out as most thought around here, he may not be back game 1 yet no offseason and the first 7 -8 games he played great, then the calf. the calf set him back as it was the same leg. ..hes not fully recovered mentally or physically but still playing,

In the playoffs you will see dak take much more chances. Now go troll somewhere else.

next

Everyone outside of this forum knows what I posted is true

Dak needs to be surrounded by ALL Pros at every position to get anything done

The same can be said about almost every QB in the nfl. Look at how Allen played before diggs. Look at how mahomes played without his tackles, there are exceptions to every rule but you make it seem like 31 other QBs are doing incredible with no talent lol. It’s a joke of an argument. The only guys in the league in the last 20 years that have done well without an incredible supporting cast are Rodgers and Brady. 2 out of 32. Why fans continue posting this drivel is beyond me.

Lots of injury to the O-Line and himself. He will figure it out. Watched him have good games and yes bring us from behind. Has played way better than a 4th round pick. Reminds you of Romo sometimes. He needs talent around him like Romo. And also like a lot of SB winning qbs. Something is going on and we havent played a complete game yet. Go from a 6 game winning streak to this. Defenses were playing us the same then as now. No running game hurts.

Some are better than others at certain things. Dak is having trouble without a running game. He played the giants the year before last with the starting O-Line setting it out and Elliot. He used the TEs that game and played well. He will figure it out. We have some drops at bad times and penalties that cost us drives a lot..

Penalties that teams like Green Bay and Tampa seem not to get called for. Funny how that works isn’t it?

 

[Ranching]

That might be what's screwing up his game coach,, a lot of pressure and being payed to be something he knows he isnt.
Not knocking Dak for getting all that he can get, but Dak is playing about at the level that I expected when he was drafted.
Its more mental than physical, just many fans want to keep blaming the physical.
I think Dak knows exactly what time it is,, he got payed, but he knows his limitations.

He wouldn't be the first to underplay his contract...but, I feel he's trying to hard.

Agreed. The same maroons suggest that one player should "put the team on their shoulders" if we're to be successful. Nonsense.

Imagine, if Kellen Moore hadnt have been injured, he'd probably be still playing with a 40m per year contract and we would all be here today complaining that he's not good enough. Dak = right place at right time.

Before the season you set goals. Those goals are escalating in nature, sure you would like to win the SB but did anybody at the Jets, Lions or Jags have winning the SB as a goal? Nice to have lofty goals but realistically there was no way any of those teams was going to do that.

Dallas could realistically set winning the SB as the ultimate goal, since they were fairly sure they would get Dak back after the injury, and with others like T. Smith expected to be better after surgeries, as well as Lamb entering his second year, etc.

But there are interim goals that you would like to reach - getting in the playoffs (where anything can, and has, happened), then winning your division, then getting home field advantage, then winning the NFC. So as the year developed and Washington, that many were predicting would win the division again with their defense, began to fall off. The Giants were mediocre as most thought, and with the Eagles having a pretty green (and not for sure knew to be a success) quarterback, Dallas was "in the driver's seat" for the division title. If they just played a bit better than average football, the division was there for the taking.

I think that Dallas "eased off the gas" a bit because of that, maybe tried some new things, then lost Jarwin due to injury, lost a few more players for short periods due to Covid or injury and probably didn't get the development they thought they would from C. Williams, McGovern, etc.

Now they're scrambling to get back to playing like they were early in the year. Not that easy to do during the season, not like camp and pre-season.

What I'm saying is that the Cowboys are certainly aware that they have issues, Dak included but not solely, and are working through them. Will they be successful? We don't know. Teams like KC have "righted the ship", so it can be done.

Dallas has 4 games to figure it out. I'm not predicting they will, or they won't. Nobody can, though if somebody does and it turns out like they said, you can be sure 90% of them will break an arm patting themselves on the back. Which is to be expected, we're all human, and some do have an agenda on the positive of the negative side.

As I've said many times before, we'll find out sooner or later....

4th round pick QBs play erratic

Sometimes they have good games, sometimes they have bad games

4th round pics have usually have accuracy problems

Dak is just a 4th round pick that overachieved once inawile

If you watched the KC at LAC game last night Mahomes played like a 4th round pick then... so does that mean 6th round picks are the best since that is what Brady was?

I'm not trying to be rude here but if you have watched Dak since he came to the league and you haven't seen anything other than the negative spin you posted then anything I can say will only feed an argument. I really don't have the energy to argue with some person on the internet who I don't know your intellect or experience watching football.

Dak has an entire career of work on film. He has been scrutinized since he came into the league by people much more qualified than either of us. The overwhelming majority agree that he is a top tier QB. In fact before this last few games the argument wasn't if he was a top 10 QB, but if he was an elite QB.

Again not trying to be rude or dismissive to you. The argument over Dak being a high level QB or not is so one sided towards him being so that debating someone who thinks he isn't is honestly silly and a complete waste of my time.

That's interesting, in that the majority of people outside of here are now wondering whether he's hit his peak, and think it's because defences have figured him out.

He's had a few opportunities to carry this team when Zeke was gone, a game against Philly that really counted and he came up short.

He's continued to throw behind his receivers since he came into the league. His decision making still is highly questionable. He's got no better time to show he's worth that contract than now, and he's coming up way short.

No, I reiterate that he's done nothing to deserve that contract, and just because there's a severe shortage of franchise QB's doesn't mean you throw elite money at one who you think might be under ideal conditions.

I've said since day one, they should have spent money on a top tier defense as that's more important to win the super bowl.

They should have built the team first. Diggs and Micah are killing it. A few more of those players behind a $25M QB could take them to the big show, Dak has produced nothing like Mahomes to be elite, but put up personal stats except for W's.

I see football perhaps a little less biased than you might think.

Why isn't Trevor Lawrence playing like a 1st round pick?

because he's a 4th rounder in disguise.

 

[cowboyec]

the same non-sense.
over and over.
hell...i might as well post a random Elvis song.

Dak looked like trash without Amari, while HAVING the best OL and RG in football.

And the only numbers that shot up were in man, while Dak continued to struggle against zone coverages. And he continued to demonstrate himself as a one-read QB.

That’s the difference between Dak and other QBs.

It’s NOT the same thing as any other “good” QB like even a Josh Allen. Josh Allen continued to find Beasley, while Dak couldn’t hit him when teams realized what Linehan was doing and they started putting defender on Beasley’s out route or dropping defenders in the short zone. Second, Josh Allen came into Buffalo with a new OC in Brian Daboll, in Buffalo and an Erhardt-Perkins, when the year prior they had a WC, meaning personnel adjustment as far players are concerned.

This isn’t Trevor Lawrence walking into a garbage franchise in a clear rebuild. This is Dak walking on to a team that had legitimate SB aspirations with the addition of Zeke, was who drafted to play with Romo and which finally had multiple all-pro linemen playing together for a minimum of two years together when Dak came along..

The ‘analogies’ of Dak-stans in respect to other AND has no semblance in reality.

And you are posting like an UDFA

Dak owned it yesterday. He knows he's not playing his best ball. He excepts the challenge to get back to his own high expectations.

Why isn't Trevor Lawrence playing like a 1st round pick?

I will try.....
Because he plays for the Jags?

So he needs a perfect team around him. That's all we hear here.
